Systematic program evaluation is needed so that scarce human and financial resources can be used effectively without needless duplication of past efforts and mistakes. The work oriented literacy project launched at Mwanza in 1967 is presently the only place in Tanzania where large scale evaluation of adult education activities is occurring. However, the Institute of Adult Education at the University of Dar es Salaam has begun evaluating the operation of the "Uchaguzi ni wako" radio citizen education study groups, together with provisions for adult educator training and the problems these educators encounter in the field. Irregular attendance and high dropout rates are a major weakness in literacy teacher training programs; failure of adult education in general to attract youth is another problem. There is evidence that adult education can be most easily organized within a framework of existing village systems and social relationships; and that literacy education is not necessarily a prerequisite for rural adult education.Item Participation, planning and international cooperation: reflections on the tanzanian experience(1975-05) Hall, Budd LWhat can development look like for a newly independent Third World nation? Emphasising the core principles of socialism and self-reliance, Dr. Budd Hall reflects in this paper on the directions Tanzania chose in making development planning participatory and in shaping its approach to international cooperation. Education is presented as fundamentally tied to national development, with its centrality illustrated through several case studies, including the Adult Education Network, the Man is Health campaign, and the Kwasisi Project. Through discussions of their motivations, processes, effects, and modes of evaluation, the article highlights how education functioned as a key instrument across multiple levels of development planning. Drawing on experience, historical insight, and policy analysis, the paper shows how Tanzania sought to situate its development efforts firmly within its stated principles while placing education at the centre of social transformation.Item Breaking the monopoly of knowledge: research methods, participation and development(1977) Hall, Budd LWhat is the objective of our research? Dr. Budd Hall delves deeply into this question while critiquing the dominant, top-down approach to conducting research in adult education. This essay explores how knowledge obtained through survey research can be inaccurate, alienating, and inadequate for guiding social action. Drawing from the works of radical scholars such as Freire, Glaser and Strauss, Oliveiras, and others, along with his own reflections, Hall discusses what an alternative participatory research approach can look like and what its fundamental principles would be. These lessons are guided by the principle of liberation to realize the full human creative potential, to continually inquire on this front, and to break away from dominant frameworks.Item Rural camps: Current assessment and future issues(National Labour Institute, 1977) Tandon, RajeshItem Practical issues in the democratisation of research in non-formal education in the commonwealth(International Council for Adult Education, 1979) Hall, Budd LItem Rural vocational education in Tanzania: An exploratory research(African Adult Education Association , 1979-07) Mshana, R.; Bita, T.Item African regional workshop on participatory research (1-7 July): "From clarity to Anarchy – Participatory research approach"(PRIA, 1979-07) Tandon, RajeshItem Development training of marginal farmers in india(1980) Tandon, RajeshItem A note on the participatory research project in the asian region(1981) Tandon, RajeshThis paper traces the rise of participatory research as a response to the limits of conventional social science, linking it to wider struggles for democracy and development. It reflects on both its potential and contradictions, framing it as an ongoing project rather than a finished method.Item Linkage between participatory research, participatory evaluation and participatory training(1983-05-05)As participatory approaches gained ground in the early 1980s, questions emerged about how research, evaluation, and training might intersect in practice. This paper explores the close relationship between these three processes, showing how they often overlap and evolve within the same project rather than remaining separate domains. Through discussions of field experiences, it reflects on the complexity of roles that facilitators, educators, and community members assume, and the tensions that arise in balancing activism, research, and organizational structures. The study also considers the possibilities of applying participatory methods to diverse fields such as primary education, forestry, and women’s empowerment, while highlighting the constraints of time, resources, and institutional support. Instead of drawing final conclusions, it leaves the reader with open questions about how participatory practice can expand its reach while staying true to its empowering intent.Item Asian regional participatory research network: A note(1985) Tandon, RajeshItem Participatory research, educational experience, and empowerment of adults(PRIA, 1985-01) Tandon, RajeshItem Participatory rural appraisal - A critique(SEARCH NEWS, 1992) Tandon, RajeshItem Participatory training on coastal research study, Phase II: At all India catholic union federation hall, Madras, October 11–13, 1992(1992-10) Coastal Poor Development Action Network India (COPDANET); Society for Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA)
