I-agritech ifanele i-STEM ngoba ihlanganisa izinto ezintathu abafundi asebevele bezinakekela: ukudla etafuleni, imisebenzi yesikhathi esizayo, kanye nezinzwa nedatha okwenza ukulima kwesimanje kusebenze. Ukufundwa komswakama womhlabathi kuyinto engabambeki ephepheni lomsebenzi. Uma sekunamathiselwe esitshalweni sangempela ikilasi elizama ukusigcina siphila, lelo nani elifanayo liba yisizathu sokufunda ngevolthi, ngemikhawulo nangekhodi.

Ukulima okuhlakaniphile kusho ukusebenzisa izinzwa, izilawuli ezincane kanye nokuzenzakalela okulula ukuze kutshalwe ukudla ngendlela esebenza kangcono. Kungomunye wemimongo ebambekayo kunayo yonke isikole saseNingizimu Afrika esingafundisa kuwo. Inhloso akukona ukuguqula wonke umntwana abe ngumlimi. Kungukusebenzisa inkinga wonke umuntu ayiqondayo njengendlela yokufundisa ukukala, ilojiki nokuphathwa kwedatha.

Kungani i-agritech ihambisana ngokwemvelo ne-STEM

Ukuvikeleka kokudla kuyindaba ephilayo lapha, futhi abafundi bakuzwa emakhaya. Lokho kubaluleka yikho kanye okudingwa umongo omuhle we-STEM. Imisebenzi yokubhala ikhodi engabambeki iyalilahla ikilasi ngokushesha; isitshalo sikatamatisi esibunayo asenzi njalo. Uma umphumela ubalulekile kumfundi, izibalo nekhodi ezingaphansi kwakho kuyeka ukuzwakala njengomsebenzi onzima.

I-agritech futhi ngempela ihlanganisa izifundo eziningi. Iphrojekthi eyodwa yokunisela ithinta isayensi yokuphila (izitshalo namanzi), ijografi (isimo sezulu nomhlabathi), izibalo (ama-avareji nemikhawulo) kanye nobuchwepheshe (izifunda zikagesi nokulawula). Othisha abakhathazekile ngokuthola isikhathi esihlukile sokubhala ikhodi bangakugoqela okuningi kwako ezifundweni asebevele bezifundisa. Futhi imisebenzi ingeyangempela: ukulima okunembayo, ukucutshungulwa kokudla kanye nezokuthutha zezolimo konke manje kudinga abantu abakwazi ukufunda inzwa bese besebenza ngedatha.

Okukalwa nokwakhiwa ngempela ngabafundi

Susa amagama amnandi ezindlebeni bese ukulima okuhlakaniphile kwehlela kuloliphu olulodwa: kala okuthile, ukuqhathanise nomgomo, bese wenza into eyodwa ngakho. Abafundi baxhuma inzwa ngezintambo, bafunde inani, babeke umkhawulo ekhodini, bese bevusa umphumela uma inani liwela ngale komugqa.

Izilinganiso ezijwayelekile yilezi: umswakama womhlabathi, izinga lokushisa lomoya, umswakama womoya nokukhanya. Lokhu kungena kusilawuli esifana nebhodi le-sheenbot∞, esifunda inzwa bese siqhuba ilojiki. Umphumela ungaba yisibani esithi nginiselele, iphampu encane evulekayo, noma irekhodi elilula lokufundiwe ikilasi elingakwenza umdwebo walo ngakusasa. Leyo phethini yokukala-ukuqhathanisa-ukwenza yiyona kanye esetshenziswa ezinhlelweni zezentengiselwano ezinkulu kakhulu, okwenza kube yisingeniso sangempela hhayi ithoyizi.

Amaphrojekthi okuqala asebenzayo ekilasini

Qala ngokuncane bese uvumela ubunzima bukhuphuke kuwo wonke ithemu. Ngalinye kulawa lingena esifundweni esijwayelekile esingamaminithi angama-40 uma ikhithi selilungisiwe, futhi isethi yekilasi yamakhithi ayishumi yanele ukuze kusetshenzwe ngababili.

• Isikhombisi sesitshalo esomile. Inzwa yomswakama womhlabathi ikhanyisa i-LED uma imbiza yehla ngaphansi kwezinga elibekiwe. Yilolu loliphu lonke ngendlela yalo elula kunazo zonke.
• Ithemomitha yendlu yezitshalo. Rekhoda izinga lokushisa njalo ngemizuzu embalwa usuku lonke lwesikole, bese wenza umdwebo walo. Abafundi babona ukuthi kuguquguquka kangakanani ewindini elinelanga.
• Ukuqhathaniswa kokukhanya. Beka izithombo ezifanayo emawindini amabili, ukale ukukhanya kwilelo nalelo, bese ubikezela ukuthi yisiphi esikhula ngokushesha. Idatha iyayiqeda impikiswano.
• Umshini wokunisela ozenzakalelayo. Faka iphampu encane ukuze isitshalo sizinisele uma umhlabathi womile. Lokhu kwethula ukulawula okuphephile komphumela.
• Ibhodi lesimo sezulu lekilasi. Hlanganisa izinga lokushisa, umswakama nokukhanya kube ukubonisa okukodwa ikilasi elikuhlolayo njalo ekuseni.

Ukhumbule ugesi. Njengoba ukucinywa kukagesi kusayingxenye yosuku lwesikole, amaphrojekthi asebenza ngephakethe lamabhethri futhi arekhoda lapho endaweni athembeke kakhulu kunanoma yini ecabanga ukuthi ugesi wasodongeni ukhona njalo. Ukwakha okusebenzisa amandla amancane, okuqala kungaxhunyiwe kuwumkhuba omuhle wokufundisa noma kunjalo.

Ukubambisana nabalimi basendaweni

Amaphrojekthi aqina kakhulu uma kunomlimi wangempela ngakolunye uhlangothi. Ingadi yomphakathi, ipulazi elincane eliseduze, noma isivande sohlelo lokudla lwesikole kunikeza abafundi izimo zangempela, imibuzo yangempela nezethameli zangempela. Kunokunisela imbiza nje ngenxa yayo, ikilasi liphendula umbuzo umuntu othile anawo ngempela: yimuphi umbhede owoma ngokushesha kunayo yonke, noma ingabe indwangu yomthunzi iyasiza yini.

Lokhu kubambisana akudingi ukuba semthethweni. Ukuvakasha kanye, ispredishithi esabelwene ngaso salokho okufundiwe, noma umlimi oza ukuzobona amaphrojekthi okugcina kwanele ukuguqula umoya kusuka emsebenzini wokuzilolonga kuye emnikelweni. Kubuye kukhombise abafundi kuthule indlela yomsebenzi ababengase bangayicabangi.

Ukukufaka onyakeni wesikole

Akudingeki ukuthi uzibophezele ngesikhathi sekharikhulamu ngosuku lokuqala. Iklabhu yangesikhathi sasemini noma yangemva kwesikole yindlela enobungozi obuncane yokuhlola ukuthi ingabe i-agritech iyabathinta yini abafundi bakho ngaphambi kokuthi isondele ohlelweni lomsebenzi lwe-CAPS. Uma isebenza eklabhini, imisebenzi eqine kunayo yonke ithuthela esikhathini sekilasi.

Namaholide asebusika ayindlela enhle yokungena. Ama-workshop ethu amaholide avumela abafundi bazame amaphrojekthi ezinzwa nekhodi ngesikhathi esifushane ngaphandle kokuzibophezela ithemu lonke, kanti iseshini yokuzama iyindlela elula yomndeni onelukuluku wokubona ukuthi iyayifanela yini ingane yawo. Kothisha abafuna ukwakha lokhu kube uhlelo, i-akhademi ingasiza ukubumba amaphrojekthi, kanti amabhodi nezinzwa ezengeziwe zitholakala esitolo.

Ukuqala kuphi

I-agritech iyayizuza indawo yayo ku-STEM ngoba ibambekayo, ihlanganisa izifundo eziningi futhi iphuthuma lapha ekhaya. Awuyidingi indlu yezitshalo noma isabelomali esikhulu ukuze uqale. Khetha isitshalo esisodwa, inzwa eyodwa nomkhawulo owodwa, uqhube isikhombisi sesitshalo esomile neqembu elincane, bese uvumela imibuzo abayibuzayo abafundi idonse izibalo nekhodi. Kusuka lapho amaphrojekthi, kanye nokubambisana, kukhula kokwako. Ukuze uthole eminye imibono esilungele ikilasi, qaphela igumbi lethu lezindaba.
