Indigenous technology in science education (Doctoral dissertation)

'The rate of adoption of the TALULAR ideology, which is actively promoted in Malawi... If we were to apply crude statistics, the ratio of those who feel comfortable in using TALULAR and those who do not is already 2:1. ...For a poor country like Malawi the choice to use TALULAR as a means of provision of resources, is an answer to low financial support of educational activities. Anything that could work against a solution to financial shortcomings is worth thinking about and monitoring what goes on in relation to it. ...I started thinking that TALULAR needs a better strategy for its dissemination... Otherwise, teachers will end up using lecture methodologies all the time, because practical work would not work without resources. This will be even more necessary as teachers engage in teaching indigenous technologies in science and technology curriculum.'' ADK Phiri. (2008) Dissertation for Doctor of Philosophy
