Challenges of internship in Rwanda Teacher Education and mitigating solutions; A case of one Teacher Training College
Abstract
Globally, Teacher Education (TE) has revolutionized. This article is to reconceptualise the Rwanda TE internship models to meet the current global educational transformation. The research adopts the qualitative approach within the interpretive paradigm with the case study design. Data was collected from fifty student-teachers and twenty tutors from TTC Matimba. Face-to-face interviews, questionnaires and focused discussions were separately administered to the two groups. The results show that the current internship model is experiencing some challenges chiefly in fulfilling the Competence Based Curriculum (CBD) recently introduced, hence the need to reconceptualise. Chief among the challenges is the duration spend on internship for the full development of all the critical competencies as outlined in the CBC of 2015. Recommendations centre on internship model reconceptualization to fulfil the government vision on educational prosperity for sustainable development.
