Natural Resourses

Overview

Why should students learn and understand our Natural Resources?

Students must understand our natural resources and get a hands on experience to enable them to develop a sense of belonging to the local community and the nation at large. Indigenous knowledge represents an important component towards national development issues. The world has become dynamic, the environment that we are living in is changing at a fast pace therefore for our nation to survive this highly competitive world, we have to equip our students with all the necessary knowledge for them to understand and be able to utilize our natural resources.

Aim

  • To expose students to first-hand experiences and to enable them to explore and get the vital hands on experience that expose them to different features found in the country.
  • To get students to appreciate our natural resources and identity them as well as to respect and understand the value of our local environment.
  • To inspire students to continuously improve our environment and to acquire knowledge that provides problem-solving strategies for local communities and the nation at large.
  • To give students an understanding on how Zimbabweans manage, perceive and come up with sustainable measures for development from our natural resources. The main focus is on mining and agriculture, students have to understand traditional foods and medicines and all minerals in Zimbabwe.
  • To ensure that local communities can continue to add value to our natural resources and fully benefit from the local ecosystems in a sustainable way
  • To give an exposure to our students to different types of natural resources so that they can gain wider spectrum to pursue on careers that relate or are in favor of our country’s sustainable development and economic growth.

Learning Outcomes

  • To give students a practical understanding to our resources
  • To make students aware that heritage is a keystone of our culture that plays an important role in our environment, society, business and world view.
  • To give students an examination of our natural resources and enable them to develop an awareness to our country history. This will make them understand and explain why we are the way we are and how we can bring the best out of ourselves.
  • To give students an understanding on the importance of natural resources and how they relate to our mining, agricultural, and tourism industry which generates the much needed foreign currency.

Decision-Making Steps

Decision-making may involve problem-solving – but not always. The six steps to problem-solving are as follows: specify the problem, analyze the problem, formulate solutions, evaluate possible solutions, implement a chosen solution, and evaluate the outcome.

  1. Identify the Decision or Goal
    First, identify what your goal is and why you need to make a decision. Knowing why you are making a decision makes it more likely you will stick with it and defend it.
  2. Gather Information
    What information do you need to understand the situation and the decision you have to make? Reach out to people you trust and those who have a better understanding than you.
  3. Identify Alternatives
    Next, identify what your options are. It is important to note that when making a decision, you are required to make a choice between the alternatives. Making a choice is a decision that you also consciously make.
  4. Weigh the Evidence
    This is a great time to use a pros and cons list. Consider the impact each alternative and potential outcomes.
  5. Choose Among Alternatives
    Finally, you choose an alternative. This step may be intimidating, but considering the following questions may help you decide the best path forward:
    • Is this solution compatible with my priorities?
    • Is there any risk involved in this solution and is it worth the risk?
  6. Take Action
    While not always required after solving a problem, making a decision almost always requires you to take action. You have chosen what college to go to, now you must respond to your acceptance letters and notify the schools you don't want to go to.
  7. Evaluate the outcome
    Similar to problem-solving, it would be unrealistic for any of us to know all the information or see every perspective while making a decision. Evaluate the consequences – good or bad – of your decision and then adjust future decisions accordingly.

Task

Give an understanding to problem-Solving and Decision-Making Steps.

During the tours you must make an observation and define how much you can apply theory to practice be able to:

  • Identify a problem
  • Analyze the problem
  • Formulate solutions
  • Evaluate solutions
  • Choose and implement solution
  • Evaluate the outcome.

Problem-Solving and Decision-Making Steps

Decision-making may be part of problem-solving and problem-solving may be part of decision-making.

  • Problem-solving means that a person is trying to find a solution to a problem, whether it's ongoing, intermittent, or a one-time failure.
  • Decision-making on the other hand, requires a person to make choices or to choose between options (or not).
  • To make decisions and solve problems, a person should at least have the capacity to weigh various options.

Decision-making is also usually clearer at the start than problem-solving. When making a decision the choices are often quite clear and clearly presented. But with problem-solving, the biggest part of the battle might be identifying what the problem itself is.

Problem-Solving Steps

The steps are: specify the problem, analyze the problem, formulate solutions, evaluate solutions, choose a solution, and evaluate the outcome.

  1. Specify the Problem
    One of the most challenging steps in problem-solving is identifying what the problem is in the first place. A good way to start is to determine what the goal is and how it differs from the present state.
  2. Analyze the Problem
    What are the potential causes of the problem? What does the presentation of this problem mean for the situation? Try to research the problem as much as possible and collect as much information as you can.
  3. Formulate Solutions
    Begin formulating solutions. But don't feel pressured to know exactly what to do at this stage – simply brainstorm as many solutions as possible and be creative. Consider other problems or situations you have faced in the past and if you can apply what you learned to this problem.
  4. Evaluate Solutions
    Consider the advantages and disadvantages of each solution and how well it will actually solve the problem. Try to imagine the possible outcomes of each solution. Consider whether the solution solves all of the problem or only parts of it.
  5. Choose a Solution
    This is the "aha" moment in problem-solving. We often arrive at a solution through insight. Insight is the sudden realization of the solution to a problem. You have considered several possibilities and finally, the right one has finally clicked.
  6. Evaluate the outcome
    None of us are capable of finding the perfect solution to our problems 100% of the time. Sometimes you have to go back to the drawing board. Don't be discouraged! The last step to problem-solving is to evaluate the outcome of the solution. Even if it is not the outcome you expected, you have the opportunity to learn from it.

Decision-Making Steps

Decision-making may involve problem-solving – but not always. The six steps to problem-solving are as follows: specify the problem, analyze the problem, formulate solutions, evaluate possible solutions, implement a chosen solution, and evaluate the outcome.

  1. Identify the Decision or Goal
    First, identify what your goal is and why you need to make a decision. Knowing why you are making a decision makes it more likely you will stick with it and defend it.
  2. Gather Information
    What information do you need to understand the situation and the decision you have to make? Reach out to people you trust and those who have a better understanding than you.
  3. Identify Alternatives
    Next, identify what your options are. It is important to note that when making a decision, you are required to make a choice between the alternatives. Making a choice is a decision that you also consciously make.
  4. Weigh the Evidence
    This is a great time to use a pros and cons list. Consider the impact each alternative and potential outcomes.
  5. Choose Among Alternatives
    Finally, you choose an alternative. This step may be intimidating, but considering the following questions may help you decide the best path forward:
    • Is this solution compatible with my priorities?
    • Is there any risk involved in this solution and is it worth the risk?
  6. Take Action
    While not always required after solving a problem, making a decision almost always requires you to take action. You've chosen what college to go to, now you must respond to your acceptance letters and notify the schools you don't want to go.
  7. Evaluate the outcome
    Similar to problem-solving, it would be unrealistic for any of us to know all the information or see every perspective while making a decision. Evaluate the consequences – good or bad – of your decision and then adjust future decisions accordingly.

Task

Give an understanding to problem-Solving and Decision-Making Steps.

During the tours you must make an observation and define how much you can apply theory to practice be able to:

  • Identify a problem
  • Analyze the problem
  • Formulate solutions
  • Evaluate solutions
  • Choose and implement a solution
  • Evaluate the outcome.

Problem-Solving and Decision-Making Steps

Decision-making may be part of problem-solving and problem-solving may be part of decision-making.

  • Problem-solving means that a person is trying to find a solution to a problem, whether it's ongoing, intermittent, or a one-time failure.
  • Decision-making on the other hand, requires a person to make choices or to choose between options (or not).
  • To make decisions and solve problems, a person should at least have the capacity to weigh various options.

Decision-making is also usually clearer at the start than problem-solving. When making a decision the choices are often quite clear and clearly presented. But with problem-solving, the biggest part of the battle might be identifying what the problem itself is.

Problem-Solving Steps

The steps are: specify the problem, analyze the problem, formulate solutions, evaluate solutions, choose a solution, and evaluate the outcome.

  1. Specify the Problem
    One of the most challenging steps in problem-solving is identifying what the problem is in the first place. A good way to start is to determine what the goal is and how it differs from the present state.
  2. Analyze the Problem
    What are the potential causes of the problem? What does the presentation of this problem mean for the situation? Try to research the problem as much as possible and collect as much information as you can.
  3. Formulate Solutions
    Begin formulating solutions. But don't feel pressured to know exactly what to do at this stage – simply brainstorm as many solutions as possible and be creative. Consider other problems or situations you have faced in the past and if you can apply what you learned to this problem.
  4. Evaluate Solutions
    Consider the advantages and disadvantages of each solution and how well it will actually solve the problem. Try to imagine the possible outcomes of each solution. Consider whether the solution solves all of the problem or only parts of it.
  5. Choose a Solution
    This is the "aha" moment in problem-solving. We often arrive at a solution through insight. Insight is the sudden realization of the solution to a problem. You have considered several possibilities and finally, the right one has finally clicked.
  6. Evaluate the outcome
    None of us are capable of finding the perfect solution to our problems 100% of the time. Sometimes you have to go back to the drawing board. Don't be discouraged! The last step to problem-solving is to evaluate the outcome of the solution. Even if it is not the outcome you expected, you have the opportunity to learn from it.

Agricultural Economist

Overview

Agricultural economists maximize profitability in agriculture to the benefit of society through studying and analysing the aspects that influence the agricultural economy and distribution of resources, such as land, raw materials, labour and machinery. Agricultural economists advise the agricultural sector on issues such as financing, marketing, agricultural development, policy, research and production. Agricultural economists are well-placed to meet these challenges and to work with governments to develop agricultural policies to promote income growth in poor areas. Agricultural economists' knowledge of the macroeconomic variables, such as inflation, exchange rates, interest rates, puts them in a position to identify the effects of various macroeconomic policies on the food and fibre industry, and eventually on the whole population.

Agricultural Agronomist

Overview

Agronomists have a wide range of work, but their role is best summed up as a “crop doctor” concerned with the health and well-being of crops used for food production, fuel, and land reclamation. An agronomist spends time in the lab going over crop data that has been collected to find out how to improve the next generation. The agronomist will then compare and research scientific journals and reference books as well as speak with his peers in order to pinpoint the cause and find a solution for the farmer. They aim to recommend the best crop and the correct harvesting techniques, to manipulate the interaction between plant and environment effectively.
