Indigenous Instructional Strategies and the Curriculum of Secondary General E...YogeshIJTSRD
This study examined the influence of indigenous instructional strategies and the secondary general education curriculum in Mezam Division, Bamenda, North West Region of Cameroon. A descriptive and a cross sectional survey research design with a mixed approach for data collection was used. The sample population was constituted of students and teachers of some selected secondary schools and parents within the Bamenda II, Bamenda III and Tubah sub divisions in Mezam with a sample size of 384 respondents. Data obtained was analysed descriptively and inferentially using cross tabulations, frequencies, percentages and charts. The Chi Square test was used to analyse the lone specific research hypothesis. The aim was to find out the level of significance of responses from the categorical variables in view of the impact of indigenous knowledge to the curriculum of secondary general education. Findings on showed that there is a significant impact of indigenous instructional strategies on the secondary general education curriculum in Cameroon. In conclusion, the introduction of livelihood skills that constitute educational elements of indigenous instructional strategies are worth integrating into the curriculum of secondary general education. Based on the finding, it was recommended that, there is need for the systematization of indigenous instructional strategies so as to ease its exploration and development for educational purposes. There is the need for the modification of the curriculum to suit the economic needs of learners and communities.

3. PRIMARY EDUCATION AMONG TRIBAL PEOPLE IN NORTH-
EASTERN HILL STATES
Indigenous education :
•The first evidence of palaeolithic culture in Manipur dating back to
about 30,000 B.C. to 40,000 B.C. was discovered by Prof.T.C. Sharma and
O.Kumar Singh (Laiba, 1988).
•The ancient educational history of Manipur can be obtained from State
Royal Chronicles called “ Cheitharol Kumbaba” which maintains an
account of major events like war, accession, death of kings, indigenous
system of education prevailed during the period etc.
Popularizing
•The King Bhaskarvarman of the seventh century did a lot in
popularizing education among the people of Kamrupa, Pragjyotishpur,
Harupeshwar, Durayaand other prominent centers of learning.
•Some of the indigenous educational institutions are panthasalas for
Hindus, Maktabs or Madrassahs for Muslims, tols for Brahmins and
sastras for Baishnavas (Saikia, 1975).
•The course curriculum was designed by the Gurus or Pandits. Like
valley or the plain areas, there was some indigenous system of education
in the hill areas.
4. Informal education
•In hills, informal education took place mostly through
interactions between children and their parents in the
family and work place in the case of the young.
•As children grew into adolescence, they were attached to
local dormitories where they received much of the
education and training in adult life. These dormitories had
been powerful institutions with sanction from the local
community and served an important educational function
as agencies to impart education for the intellectual and
emotional development of youth in the community.
•Dormitory was called ‘sier’ in Kom language. The Nagas
called it “Mawung’, the Tankhuls called it “Kangchu’ for
boys and ‘Luchu’ for girls. The hmars called it ‘Bwolzawk’ or
‘Sier’.
5. CONFLICT WITH FORMAL EDUCATION SYSTEM
• They remained active till the advent of the missionaries into the region when
a beginning was made in the introduction of modern formal system of
education in the whole areas particularly in the hill region.
• Guite (1989, 1995) found significant changes of Christianity on the tribals of
Manipur. The work of the various Christian missionaries in NER of India is
well documented. Among the first missionary groups to arrive in this region
were the American Baptist Mission, the Dutch Baptist, the Roman Catholics
and other Presbyterian groups. They went to the interior parts of the region,
where the people worshipped the forces of nature as Gods and they have
some belief systems about different forces of nature.
• Christian missionaries assumed that such worship is nothing but some
superstitions as a result they tried to destroy this system through western
education.
• However, people in hill areas did not accept formal education very easily.
Many places in NER, where initial groups of missionaries went, had to face
unwanted hostility from the local people and it took them a long time to
gain access to the region and receive acceptability of the people.
• The Christian communities were able to open more primary schools in
Assam than Tripura and Manipur.
6. • In 1948-49, there were 9144, 239 and 368 primary schools in
Assam, Manipur and Tripura respectively.
• Male were more educated than female.
• In that period, the number of teachers of three states at the
primary schools were 14025 comprising of 12528 (89%) men
and 1497 (11%) women.
• Assam had the highest number of teachers (12,781),
followed by Tripura (699) and Manipur (545).
• However, number of literate scheduled tribes and non
scheduled tribes was not accounted at that time.
• Taslera (1989) noted that the benefit of educational system
had been mostly cornered by the tribal elites and the higher
income groups along with non-tribal elites. Recently,
attempt was made to classify literate persons by districts.
Such classification provides insight about literacy status of
scheduled tribes.

10. Jawaharlal
Nehru, 1958
People should develop along
the lines of their genius and
should avoid imposing
anything on them. We should
try to encourage in every way
their own traditional arts and
culture...We should try to
train and build up a team of
their own people to do the
work of administration and
development. Some technical
personnel from outside will no
doubt be needed, especially
in the beginning. But we
should avoid introducing too
many outsiders into tribal
territory...We should judge
results, not by statistics or the
amount of money spent, but
by the quality of human
character that is evolved.
15. INCENTIVE MANAGEMENT
Tribals are included in the national programme of Sarva
Shiksha Abhiyan run by the Ministry of Human Resource
Development.
Schools and hostels are opened in areas where no such facilities
exist.
At least one model residential school is located in each tribal
concentration area.
Education is linked with provision of supplementary nutrition.
Special incentives like financial assistance, pocket allowance,
free distribution of textbooks and school uniforms are
provided .
Educated tribal youth are given employment as teachers,
wherever possible. (This will obviate the need to employ
teachers belonging to far-off places who find commuting is as
difficult as staying in a village with no basic amenities.
16. PEDAGOGY
Pedagogy is made relevant so that tribals do not find it as alien.
Teaching is imparted in tribals’ mother tongue at least up to the
primary level.
Curriculum and co-curriculum include aspects of meta skill
upgradation of tribal children.
Curricula for meta skill upgradation are to include aspects of
tribal games and sports, archery, identification of plants of
medicinal value, crafts art and culture, folk dance and folk
songs, folk paintings etc.
Emphasis is laid on vocational/professional education.
Polytechnics are set up for studies in subjects like forestry,
horticulture, dairying, veterinary sciences, polytechnics.
17. MISSING LINK OF THE NPE
• NPE fails to mention the intrinsic objectives of education. Therefore, we
are following still now the basic objective of education as proposed by
Lord Macaulay (1800-1859).
• This model leads to think that education is meant for getting jobs rather
for wholistic development. So school became factory of human resource
development where in students are the cogs of education tool. They had
no say about the course curriculum. Such feeling develops extrinsic
motivation within the students.
• India is now sovereign country, it needs to develop creative temperament
within students so that students can apply knowledge in solving various
problems in their surroundings.
• Such creative temperament can not be developed without inner desire to
read and write. Wholistic approach of education assumes that children
want to read the text books in order to improve level of competency, to
acquire and to apply the knowledge in every day problems.
• Dutta Roy (2003) noted that intrinsic reading and writing motivation are
significantly and posively related to academic achievement.
18. What is Motivation ?
Motivation is the dynamic relation among three things :
Needs, goal directed path and goal.
• Needs follow hierarchical pattern. Lower order needs are
physiological, security and social needs. The higher order
needs are self-esteem and self-actualization. Individual
energizes to put effort to the goal.
• For need satisfaction, selection of path is necessary. Path
should be goal directed. Path selection is hierarchical in
nature. Another important one is critical time factor.
• Goal should satisfy the needs and be linked to the path. It
should be optimum and achievable.

24. METHOD: SAMPLING
Sampling follows two phases – school sampling and student sampling. In
sampling the schools, few criteria were followed as (a) concentration of
specific tribal communities and (b) accessibility.
Tribal people are very scattered over hill and the plain areas. In Tripura,
98% of five tribal people live in the rural areas From the census, it was not
evident where in specific tribal communities were located. Therefore, tribal
education minister was consulted and specific locations of different tribal
communities were found from Tribal research institute.
In Manipur, professors of Manipur university, officers of the census
department, officers of National information centers and Tribal research
officers were consulted to understand the location of specific tribal
communities. Later Directorate of School Education , District Education
officers (DEO), Inspectors of schools (IS) across districts were met to find
out specific schools where in students of specific tribal communities would
be available. A list of school was prepared based on concentration of
specific communities. Random sampling was followed to select the sample
schools for analysis.
