Reserch and Publication.

As

a

quality

university,

STEMMUCO

is

per

se

a

research

based

and

oriented

higher

institute

of

learning.

It

considers

research

and

publication

not

only

as

the

“soul”

and

hallmark

of

academic

excellence,

but

also

an

added

value,

making

a

critical

difference

towards

future

academic

fitness

and

innovation.

This

is

absolutely

necessary

for

true

socio-economic,

human,

cultural,

political

and

technological

transformation

in

Tanzania

in

particular

and

in

the

world

in

general.

Research

and

publication

activities

at

STEMMUCO

are

also

deemed

as

the

key

stimulus

for

quality

teaching

(learning),

consultancy

and

rendering

of

high

quality

service

to

humanity,

to

the

environment

and to the future of society.

Admittedly,

STEMMUCO

understands

that

in

the

present

day

globalized

and

globalizing

world,

characterized

with

a

high

speed

innovative

culture,

knowledge,

skill,

competitiveness

and

aptitudes,

generation

and

dissemination

of

quality

education

is

neither

a

luxury

nor

an

option.

It

is

a

“conditio

sine

qua

non”

towards

a

world

class

university.

That

is

why;

STEMMUCO

constantly

encourages

both

individual

as

well

as

collaborative

research

endeavours

not

only

to

the

academic

staff

but

to

students

and

support

staff

too.

Currently,

we

have

several

local

and

international

research

publications

from

STEMMUCO

academic

staff.

Indeed,

STEMMUCO

upholds the universal principles, theories and methodologies in research and publications.

In

brief,

STEMMUCO’s

vision

particularly

in

research

and

publication

activities

is

profoundly

geared

towards

deep

transformation,

change

and

more

so

in

bridging

the

“lacuna”

(gap)

between

information

and

formation,

policy

and

implementation,

knowing

and

doing,

theory

and

practice,

research

findings

and

concrete

life.

Beyond

doubt,

our

mission

and

vision

can

eventually

be

concretized

not

only

through

teaching,

consultancy

and

community

out

service,

but

more

so

through

generation

of

quality

knowledge

and

innovative

skills

which

will

critically

revolutionise

academia,

technology

and

human

wellbeing

as

a

whole.

In

this

regard

therefore,

among

other

short

and

long

term

strategies,

STEMMUCO

envisions

to

launch

a

research

based

quality

centre

with

focus

particularly

on

Professional

and

Applied

Ethics

on

major

business,

climate

and

academic

challenges

today,

that

is,

STEMMUCO

CAPE

(Centre

For

Applied

and

Professional Ethics).

FACULTY OF EDUCATION AND SCIENCE

DEAN’S MESSAGE

The

Faculty

of

Education

and

Science

at

Stella

Maris

Mtwara

University

College

(STeMMUCo)

is

the

first

faculty

to

be

established

at

Stella

Maris

Mtwara

University

College.

It

is

therefore

as

old

as

the

college

itself

(established

in

2009).

Its

establishment

emanated

from

the

educational

needs

and

challenges

facing

Tanzania

particularly

the

southern

zone.

It

is

an

undeniable

fact

that

STeMMUCo

through

the

Faculty

of

Education

and

Science

operates

within

a

national

landscape

where

access,

success

and

equity,

quality,

relevance

and

broad

transformation

have

been

proven

to

be

a

challenge.

As

the

Dean

of

the

Faculty

of

Education

and

Science,

my

vision

is

located

within

the

broader

vision

of

the

University

namely:

To

b

The

Faculty

therefore,

strives

to

provide

a

unique

insight

into

how

to

promote

a

positive

learning

experience

for

students

enrolled

across

a

range

of

programmes

offered

by

the

departments

within

the

Faculty.

These

departments

are

named

according

to

the

area

of

specialization

as

follows;

1.Unit

of

Education

Foundations,

2.

Unit

of

Mathematics,

3.

Unit

of

History,

4.

Unit

of

Geography,

5.

Unit

of

Kiswahili,

and

6.

Unit

of

Linguistics

and

Literature.

In

all

these

departments,

the

focus

has

been

on

the

fullest

possible

development

of

the

students,

encouraging

individuals

to

become

the

very

best

or

finest

to

enable

them

reach

their

goals.

Students

entering

study

at

any

programme

in

the

Faculty

will

therefore

find

a

competitive

but

supportive

environment

in

which

every

student

is

taken

seriously,

holistically

and

competently

prepared

by

our

qualified

academic

staff,

to

excel

as

a

professional

teacher

employable

in

any

part

of

the

world.

The

Bachelor

of

Arts

with

Education

(BAED)

and

the

Bachelor

of

Education

with

Philosophy

(BAPHLED)

both

under

the

Faculty

of

Education

and

Science,

are

tailored

in

such

a

way

that

after

completion,

students

should

be

able

to

become

competitive

graduates

in

their

areas

of

specialization

by

meeting

the

requirements

of

the

labour

market,

locally,

regionally,

continentally

and

globally.

Apart

from

other

expected

learning

outcome,

the

programme

nurtures

the

broad

development

of

the

students

and

focuses

on

their

intellectual,

emotional,

social,

physical,

creative

or

intuitive,

aesthetic,

and

spiritual

potentials.

An

emphasis

is

very

much

put

on

life

experience

beyond

the

confines

of

the

classroom

and

the

formal

educational

environment

towards

education

as

growth,

discovery,

interactive

and

a

broadening

of

horizons.

This

is

partly

done

through

teaching

practice

engagement

in

different

schools,

micro-teaching

and

comprehensive

examinations and independent research projects which are part of the requirements for degree conferment.

The

programme

is

also

designed

in

such

a

way

that

upon

completion

of

their

bachelor’s

degree,

graduates

will

have

an

opportunity

to

vertically

progress

into

master’s

degree

of

relevant

courses

and

horizontally

articulate

into

related

bachelor’s

degrees

or

diagonally

articulate into different masters programmes not directly related to education.

The

performance

of

our

graduates

who

are

spread

in

the

job

market

all

over

and

beyond

the

country

have

never

been

questionable

by

the

employers

in

both

public

and

private

sectors.

The

Faculty

has

been

receiving

positive

commendations

on

the

competency

and

professional

conduct

of

our

graduates.

It

is

with

this

gratitude

that

I

believe

the

Faculty

of

Education

and

Science

at

Stella

Maris

Mtwara

University

College

continues

and

will

continue

to

attract

more

education

aspirants.

On

our

part

in

the

faculty,

we

promise

to

keep

providing quality service and regard our clients as potential stakeholders in realizing the vision and mission of our university.

The Faculty of Education and Science at Stella Maris Mtwara University remains a home-base hence a choice for holistic education.
