    Indigenous education pedagogies and transmission of the Banyankore people’s Omukuri music in selected primary schools of Kazo district, western Uganda
    (Kyambogo University (Unpublished work), 2024-10) Ntambirwe, Rolline
    This study sought to find out how indigenous education pedagogies might support the transmission of the Banyankore people’s omukuri in primary schools. The study was motivated by the fact that indigenous education pedagogies are neglected in school setting, yet they have capacity to endanger meaningful learning. More so, the omukuri culture is under threat of extinction. The objectives of the study were: (1) to find out the nature of indigenous education pedagogies used in the transmission of omukuri music culture in primary schools of Kazo district, western Uganda 2) to find out the limitations of using indigenous education pedagogies in the transmission of omukuri music in primary schools of Kazo district, western Uganda. 3) to suggest solutions to limitations of using indigenous education pedagogies in the transmission of omukuri music in primary schools of Kazo district, western Uganda. This study was ethnographic; therefore, data was qualitative. Data collection tools included interviews, participant observation, focus group discussion and audio- visual recordings. The study revealed that most schools do not transmit omukuri music therefore indigenous education pedagogies are used by some schools that put an effort to teach the instrument. The study established that the bamboo stems, PVC pipes and text books to be used in learning of omukuri are hardly available. It also revealed that teachers lacked the skills and knowledge of indigenous pedagogies to handle the learning of omukuri. Music is not allocated time, focus is on attainment of excellent PLE grades according to the education system. Music is not an examinable subject. The study recommended that there should be mobilization and senstisation of parents, learners, teachers and school administrators towards music learning. There might be a need for a collected effort to look for instructional materials and sourcing resource persons who can enhance the use of indigenous education pedagogies and transmission of omukuri music.
