This paper offers a critical review of a large-scale...

This localisation process generated eight unique versions of the OER in five languages. Drawing on project reports, practitioner interviews and analysis of...

© 2018 Elsevier Inc. In recent years, there has been an increase in the demand for and supply of early childhood education (ECE) in low- and middle-income countries. There is also growing awareness that unless ECE is of high quality, children may attend school but not learn.

A needs assessment was conducted to identify teachers’ professional needs. Based on the results of this assessment, a dual-mode TPD that combines face-to-face sessions and online sessions was...
