We can not look at modern methods as long as they live in camps, and I see the best ways to get to learn is in mobile schools.

Here are two articles that might help you:

@raees thanks I will check them

Use the students' diversity to inform your subject content that should relate to their experiences/prior reading/global & societal issues. Teach them problem-solving and team-work skills that they can apply to address real-life problems. You can use debates as a way to draw them into topical issues such as the refugee crisis. Use cheerful colors and words as much as possible so as not to add to their current unsettling state and avoid cultural sensitivity as all costs. Here are few sources that I hope will be helpful for you in planning your instruction:

Best,

Debra

Thank you Debra for your support I will look into all your suggestions.

Thanks again

A classic Paolo Freire and the Pedagogy of the Oppressed is a good place to start.

Thank Thomas I will look into your suggestions thanks alot

yes, make their personal experiences the book of your course and constructively, empathetically and critically engage them.

I have got enough experiences with good results by teaching with flash cards and recycling vocabulary. I mean progresively every deay you must use flash cards even to teach dialogues and everyday you must review the studied contents. So they associate the new knowledge with the previos ones and by using pictures. hope this is good for you.

Dear Abdikadir Bare Abikar

I must agree with Thomas Sullivan on the use of Paulo Freire's methodology To work with underprivileged people. Freire teaches us in Pedagogy of the oppressed that marginalised people learn more and faster and for good if they understand the meanings and the surroundings of their own existence. So, if you want to make children literate, for example, you can start by proposing a word that could be refugee camp, run away, foreign, home land, war, poverty... any word that has a strong oppressing meaning to them. Then you question about their lives, talk to them about their problems, sorrows. Strong words keep coming and you may also propose a new word and it goes on. It is easy in my mother tongue because it is more of a phonetic one (Portuguese). But you can try and use the method in other languages too. There is a great number of articles about Freire's method application. There is one that took place in an indian reserve in the US, but I couldn't find the name of the researcher, sorry. Look for it here at RG or other platforms. It is of great value!!

Your work is extremely important. Success!!

Involve them in some creative activity which will give them an immense pleasure. Instead of one to many teaching ask some people from them and then try some to many teaching and their mistakes should be corrected by their representative it will definitely work.

You should look to World Refugee school started by a dear https:

www.wrschool.org/. Totally scalable solution with high quality curriculum.

Very best Hanne Shapiro

Thank you friends @Evaline, thank for your wonderful suggestions regarding use of Paulo Freire's methodology if you don't mind find a relevant Paulo Freire's article and share me through my email [email protected], I will see the suggestions and the pedagogical concepts it will provide.

@Sudatta I am impressed with your suggestions on the engagement of the child with creative activity, I will see how i can accommodate it, and lastly @ Hanna I visited the cited and it was so nice other it is not given a direct site of my study,but anyway it was helpful.

All the comments are nice and will use them.

Of course I agree with the opinion that if you consult some of the classics like Paolo Freire and others who include social conflicts and a conflict environment should be better for your overall background. However, I think that the most pedagogic experience is going around your personal experience. More than looking over what is happenning out of the windows you have to see how the children are feeling inside the classroom. You have to diagnose first their interest, likes, skills, preferences and then you will discover what teaching procedures of methods must be used efficiently. When you get this outcome you will decide if the learning style of students are visual, cognitive, metacognitive, kinematic

( movement), auditive or audiovisual. That´s the moment you will take into account flashcards, tapes, multimedia, text readings of whatver it fits to the learning strategy you will take. When you find this characterization, please come to us again and then if your students are more auditive than cognitive, then I could send you some didactical songs for you to use them in the camps. Go step by step my dear friend! This is the most scientific advise I might give you.

Thank you Fernando Emilio ,

Absolutely you are right and I think your thoughts are brilliant and I should also take them Paulo friere's pedagogy is a frequent response I am getting and I have to formulate my approach to my future students and see how better we can attend to them(teachers in Dadaab).

I really feel rewarded when my modest ideas can help to the world education. I know that there are many hostile environments in which the teachers find barriers days to day. However these obstacles put to the test to the mastery of the teachers. We have to become permanent studious, scientific of pedagogy. Our lesson must resemble to our students everyday more. I know that zones under conflict demand patience, tolerance but alse creativity. We are here dear friend, to support your efforts, just count on us..

@Fernando Emilio Valladares Fuente you are in my future project as an external reader.

Thanks for your support and motivational stands

I would advise that a baseline survey to be done so as to identify the the status and gaps in place among key stakeholders in education. From the baseline study a teacher resource centre can be established and all stakeholders sensentilzed on the need for the same. Teachers can be seminared from the centre and the can always access the place to borrow and return materials. A specialist in pedagogy can be stationed in the centre and should make to schools...

We can not look at modern methods as long as they live in camps, and I see the best ways to get to learn is in mobile schools.

Thank you Solomon and Hassan for your wonderful thoughts regarding my question.

Dear Ab, think about this wise phrase by Benjamin Franklin: " Tell me and I forget, Teach me and I may remember, Involve me and I learn" so participation and compromise is the straight path to learning. After the diagnosis that I already suggested you, you should propose activites in which they feel the need to be involved, engaged. Games are good but they rather need exercises that link themselves with the real life. They have to understand what is going on outside the classroom and the best of all: you have to succeed in teaching that the answer is inside their potentials to solve the problems of real life. I can suggest you to get some drills by usiing some books of ELT ( Express Publishing), for example..but the best is not written yet. you will make it with your own experiences.

Thank you again Fernando Emilio Valladares Fuente am absolutely enjoying with all your brilliant thoughts and will look into them.

Thanks

They need to be "taught" or they need to be given opportunities to learn in ways that honoir who they are as himan beings, what they feel and know, what they want to learn and also how they want to learn. Personalized, inquiry based (always starting with the learners' questions), learner centered and contextualized will allow children to feel seen, valued, heard which is the starting place for any meaningful educational experience. I invite you to rethink your starting question.

Marginalised communities always lack teaching facilities, because the children outnumbered available facilities. The way to improve teaching is through indoctrination and coaching.

@kayii what do mean teaching through indoctrinate or coaching may explain further,

@Ahsan Siddiqui thanks for the steps and ways you provided.

@Kris Laroche thank you it seems you thought making me rethink, I appreciate your thoughts. As well the rest

Identify the clusters in the camps and individualized instructional strategies will help.

I am curious about word "indoctrination". Can you elaborate? Creativity, imagination, dialogue and critical thinking, compassion, listening and observing are all possible with minimal resources and space.

@Kris thanks

We need new methods appropriate to the conditions in camps...we can't look to 'modern methods' or 'indoctination,' we have to look forward. I would begin by observing the children and listening to what they talk about and then asking them what they want to know about, what they are curious about.Like Kris, I would have them write their stories, illustrate those stories and share them. I would bring in whatever technology I could get my hands on. I would have them redesign the camps and build a school that THEY would like to see.

We have never before had a population of children living in these conditions. Thank you for asking how to educate them, it is a crucial question all over the world these days.

Dear Ab, Teaching must be unhelplessly directed but not mechanically imposed. That said you need to create environments so that students choose their options through the material you provide. You cannot expect that all the things they ask you by their own whims might help them to grow and be better in society, that´s why your role as facilitator is paramount. Sometimes it is necessary to teach them forge their likes, above all the things when their living environments have been so hostile and limited to war conflicts.

@Henrietta Kralovec thank you, you are right it is a topic of thoughts and as educators we need to be providing more methods of teaching, so creativity is the most needed activities from the teachers and that is what I am looking at, so appreciate your suggestions, you are smart i like your ideas.

@Fernando Emilio Valladares Fuente you are exactly right I like you thought remember I am researching in this field so I need literature review related to this topic and similar topics so that at the end we module their schooling schemes and provide better educational layouts, what I believe is that refugee is not a state and anyone can be a real refugee and we need to be planning for the future refugee children. And how we can approach as educationalists.

Thanks again Fernando Emilio Valladares Fuente

Abdikadir Bare Abikar thanks so much. I am very interested in the issue of education in the camps and yes this is a moment when teachers need creativity and imagination to understand what and how to teach. I would like to connect with others interested in this issue, is there a professional organization, grassroots organizations, activist organizations?

I work on the Arizona/Mexico border and there has been lots of discussion about education in the camps that now exist along the border.

Dear Ab, I could supply some literature to help you, although my field is more connected to environmental education through English teaching. I know it has some link with your topic but I don´t know if you would like to have some bibliography in Spanish. in fact I have a PhD in this issue.

the topic very interesting..the life the camp different from the life out the camp, so the metode learning give smile and happy their heart...

@ Henrietta Kralovec , is there a professional organization, grassroots organizations, activist organizations? yeah i think we have professional organisations that work in with education field although they are fully controlled; as a teacher i am not that open to them because my target are the future children and not the current; yeah you are right at the borders it applicable and i think you can as well work on it. so the organisations only implement the education and wait budget if they don't get enough the don't move that is the problem.

thanks i appreciate your openness.
