Poverty is rife in many African countries and this has serious implications for the provision of quality education. Rural schools face severe challenges that are unique to their environment. A lack of parental interest in children’s education, insufficient funding from the state, a lack of resources, underqualified teachers, and multi-grade teaching are some of the barriers to effective education. These challenges can be attributed to numerous sources, from within school structures and from...

Developing sustainable and scalable educational initiatives is a key challenge in low-income countries where donor-funded short-term projects are limited by both contextual factors and programme design. In this commentary we examine some of the issues related to in-service teacher development in the context of sub-Saharan Africa, grounded predominantly in our work of over five years of iteratively developing, refining and evaluating an intensive school-based professional learning programme...

While many countries in Eastern and Southern Africa are on track for meeting the Education for All targets, there is a growing recognition of the need to improve the quality of basic education and that a focus on pedagogy and its training implications needs to be at the heart of this commitment. By drawing on three East African countries, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, which are at different stages of development with regard to the reforming of teacher education, this paper explores the...

Studies have been carried out on the use of geographical information systems (GIS) in teacher training, especially in the developed countries. In southern African countries, nevertheless, the scenario is different because GIS education appears to be a rather new field of study. This study therefore used systematic review to collect data. This method assists in finding and understanding the outcomes of other research conducted within the same field of study. The results reveal that only three...

In the current review, we examined teacher leadership research completed since York-Barr and Duke published the seminal review on teacher leadership in 2004. The review was undertaken to examine how teacher leadership is defined, how teacher leaders are prepared, their impact, and those factors that facilitate or inhibit teacher leaders’ work. Beyond this, the review considered theories informing teacher leadership, teacher leadership within disciplinary contexts, and the roles of teacher...

This dissertation explores how continuous teacher learning circles (TLCs) support the implementation of a learner-centered pedagogy in grades 5-10 at a school in a long-term refugee community located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Learner-centered pedagogy has gained notice as a means to improve educational outcomes in sub-Saharan Africa (Vavrus & Bartlett, 2012). Learner-centered pedagogy may be defined as education rooted in the interests of students, their prior knowledge,...

In this study, we examined the effectiveness of an innovative approach to literacy instruction in Malawi on teachers' perceptions, attitudes, and instructional practices. Two groups participated in the study: Treatment teachers received complementary teaching and learning materials, workshops, and directive coaching, and control teachers received no intervention. After this five-month intervention, treatment teachers were significantly more comfortable with their languages of instruction and...

This study reports on an investigation into the impact of a national, school‐based teacher development programme on learning and teaching in Kenyan primary schools. Building on a national baseline study (n=102), 144 video‐recorded lessons, covering the teaching of English, maths and science at Standards 3 and 6, were analysed to investigate whole‐class teaching and group‐based learning. Interviews were also conducted with school management committees, head teachers, teachers and pupils to...

The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and self-reflective journals kept by the teachers and the first author. The qualitative thematic...
