Most training programmes continue to be based on the principle of a transfer of knowledge from the teacher (or trainer) to the student or trainee and consequently most training institutes run on this principle. This paper aims at giving a few practical suggestions for a problem-oriented village-level approach to training. It is based on the experiments gained in a few experimental research projects with University students in Dar es Salaam. A Youth Development Project is given as an example.Item African Regional Workshop on Participatory Research, Mzumbe, 2nd - 7th July 1979(African Regional Workshop on Participatory Research, 1979-07-07) Swantz, Marja-LiisaThis document covers the proceedings of a regional workshop held in Mzumbe, Tanzania, focused on the use of Participatory Research (PR) as a training process within youth development projects. Marja-Liisa Swantz's paper, presented by Joussef Kassim, advocates for PR as more than research—serving as a model that reveals ideological tensions within development practices. The workshop explores PR's role in exposing contradictions in socio-political structures and critiques its application, suggesting that benefits often favor researchers over local communities. Discussions include critiques from Tanzanian researchers, exploring the relationship between PR, socialism, and community agency in research.
