(Kyambogo University [unpublished work], 2014-02) Legge, Marlin Paulino Loggale
The purpose of the study was to find out why graduates of archaeology are failing to meet the labour market requirements in South Sudan. It was guided by three objectives; to ascertain the pedagogical approaches used in the training of archaeology, determine whether the archaeological skills acquired from training are relevant to the labour market, and suggest ways of improving on the training of archaeology. The researcher used the qualitative approach following a descriptive design. The sample size was 43 respondents. Data were analysed descriptively under each specific objective. The findings indicated that archaeology • training is conducted theoretically, the content of archaeology training does not equip trainees with skills for the world of work, and there is need to align the training curriculum to the requirements in the world of work. From the findings, the researcher concluded that archaeology training was theory-oriented, archaeological skills learners acquire in institutions do not meet the labor market requirements and therefore not enabling trainees to acquire the skills required in the world of work. The study recommended a learner-centred approach in archaeology training, a practical curriculum and increased funding for archaeology training. There is also need to create awareness of the value of archaeology in Juba University.
