Teacher-student relationship as a protective factor for socioeconomic status, students’ self-efficacy and achievement: a multilevel moderated mediation analysis - Liu, Hongyun; Liu, Qimeng; Du, Xiaofeng; Liu, Jian; Hoi, Cathy Ka Weng; Schumacker, Randall E. (Current Psychology, 2021)
This study examined whether the teacher-student relationship (TSR) served as a protective factor for students from families of lower socioeconomic status (SES). It was based on data from a standard mathematics assessment and survey using student and teacher questionnaires that were developed by the Collaborative Innovation Center of Assessment toward Basic Education Quality (CICA-BEQ) in China in 2016, which included 8707 fourth-grade Chinese students nested within 164 classes. We used multilevel structural equation models (MSEM) to investigate the mediating role of self-efficacy in mathematics in the relationship between SES and mathematics achievement and the moderating role of TSR in the direct and indirect relationship between SES and mathematics achievement at both the student-level and the class-level. The results suggested that the effect of SES on mathematics achievement was mediated by academic self-efficacy in mathematics both at the student-level and the class-level. The results also demonstrated a significant interaction between TSR and SES for self-efficacy both at the student-level and the class-level. Additionally, statistics indicated that TSR moderated the indirect relationship between SES and achievement via academic self-efficacy in mathematics.

Investigating effects of using digital video in teacher training in Cambodia - Lok, Leandra; Schellings, Gonny; Brouwer, Niels; Den Brok, Perry (Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 2018)
While research has shown that video can be an effective tool in the professional learning of teachers in industrialized countries, it is unknown whether this is also true for other countries with distinctive cultural, political, and historical contexts, such as Cambodia. This paper presents results from a study which examined the effectiveness of using video to introduce student-centered teaching to teachers in Cambodia. The training consisted of collaboratively watching and discussing videos of teaching practices. A 2x2 design was used, varying group conditions (team versus pair) and relevance of the material (model video versus action video). The findings indicated that although it was not possible to determine if there had been changes in teacher behavior, using video had led to an increase in teachers' perceived knowledge of student-centered teaching, especially for the team and the model video conditions.

Bridging Practice and Theory in Teacher Training Using a Mobile App for Teachers in Low-Cost Private Schools in India and Nigeria - Longfield, David; Dogar, Andreea (2023)
In South-East Asia and across many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, high proportions of children attend low-cost private schools. The parents pay a small fee and the children generally get a slightly better education than provided by the local government schools. But the overall quality is still poor with low levels of learning and poor teaching methods and practices, largely because many of the teachers in these schools have little or no teacher training and have picked up what they can on the job. University teacher training is out of reach financially and academically for the majority of teachers who are often just secondary school leavers. This chapter describes a viable and accessible on-the-job alternative, using the latest technology to bring best practice to directly to these teachers' phones. Using local mentor support and a clear emphasis on the application of the lessons to the trainees' classrooms, the training is bringing about change for their classes and pupils.

Holistic Learning Versus Instrumentalism in Teacher Education: Lessons from Values Pedagogy and Related Research - Lovat, Terence (Education Sciences, 2020)
This article constitutes a literature review, focusing on the idea of holistic learning, as found in key sources, and its essential contrasting with instrumentalist approaches to learning. It will move to explore updated research on holistic learning factors, with special attention to insights gleaned from values pedagogy and the research that underpins it. The article will juxtapose those insights with the instrumentalism that, it will allege, too often dictates teacher education directions. The article will conclude with an argument that teacher education has become, in modern times, a service industry, too often serving the agendas of governments and teacher unions, rather than preparing teachers to follow the guidelines provided by the latest research into student wellbeing and societal betterment. The article will focus especially on a number of Australian examples to mount the argument that nonetheless applies more generally across Western domains.

The Role of E-Learning in the Professional Development of Student Teachers in Cameroon: A Discourse in Curriculum - Lumadi, Mutendwahothe Walter; Len, Kibinkiri Eric (Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences, 2013)
This study was planned to investigate “the role of e-learning in the professional development of student teachers in Cameroon”. Nevertheless, the ineffectiveness of traditional or conventional methods of teaching and learning in education motivated the researchers to carry out this study. In order to proceed, six hypotheses were formulated to guide the investigation A survey of 796 student-teachers drawn from eight primary government teacher training colleges and three higher teacher training colleges in Cameroon was carried out. Data were collected using a questionnaire that was carefully designed with respect to the variables under study. Results revealed that the use of e-learning has a significant influence on the professional development of student teachers in Cameroon. Findings further revealed that internet-based problem-solving and computer-based direct instruction are the best predictors of the professional development of student teachers in Cameroon. Consequently, recommendations are made to teacher training institutions to adopt alternative and multidimensional perspectives (models) in their training programmes in order to solve existing and future educational challenges.

Continuous Teacher Learning Circles in Learner-Centered Pedagogy: A Case Study in the Democratic Republic of the Congo - Lund, Jennifer Anne (2020)
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, and pedagogy based on student inquiry with the goal of solving real-world problems (Dewey, 1916). TLCs are increasingly used by international educational development organizations, including in the DRC (Frisoli, 2014; Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies, 2015). Focusing on sustained teacher and student learning, one U.S. non-profit has worked since 2011 to co-create learner-centered modules based on locally identified assets and problems. This qualitative case study seeks to illuminate how teacher learning and well-being are supported through the TLCs and what teachers and staff understand about learner-centered pedagogy as a teaching and learning paradigm in the context. Drawing from Kanu's (2005) precept that pedagogical ideas crossing borders are continually reinterpreted and reinvented, this study takes a closer look at how indigenous practices may influence or mediate teacher learning. By using Lave and Wenger’s (1991) concept of communities of practice as the principal theoretical framework, the study relied on data from onsite individual interviews, focus groups, classroom observations, and TLC observations as well as archival documents such as lesson plans, teacher reflections, and transcripts of cross-cultural Skype conversations between Congolese and American staff. Findings suggest that the TLCs viii help teachers gain confidence in learner-centered teaching tools that support safe, inclusive, and engaging classrooms while offering a supportive space to voice problems and receive feedback from peers as they engage in planning and implementing the innovative curriculum. Findings also highlight the need for increased teacher autonomy in lesson planning. Implications of these findings encourage future research to determine whether it is feasible for learner-centered pedagogy and TLCs to be operationalized and sustained over time in other similar settings.

Introduction of an EdTech intervention to support learning of foundational skills in Sierra Leone: policy, teacher, and community perspectives - Lurvink, Anne-Fleur; Pitchford, Nicola J. (Frontiers in Education, 2023)
Background Like many other countries, Sierra Leone faces significant challenges with primary education resulting in many children leaving primary school without acquiring basic foundational skills. To address these challenges, an educational technology (EdTech) intervention was implemented in 20 primary schools located in two marginalized districts in Sierra Leone. While this EdTech intervention has been shown to raise learning outcomes, little is known about the impacts on the broader education ecosystem. This paper investigates how this EdTech intervention might address some the challenges faced with primary education in Sierra Leone, by examining policy, teacher, and community perspectives. Method A mixed methods approach was employed which included a policy mapping exercise, a survey of teachers training needs in supporting the development of foundational skills with grade 1 learners, an interview with teachers after they had delivered the EdTech intervention to garner their perceptions and experiences of using the technology in their class, and focus groups with teachers and other community members to gain insights into how the EdTech intervention had been received. Results Findings from the policy mapping exercise and quantitative data from the survey of teacher training needs were triangulated with qualitative data from the interviews and focus groups. Four key themes emerged relating to the effective and sustained use of this EdTech intervention to support the acquisition of foundational skills by primary school children in Sierra Leone: (1) the need for continued teacher professional development, (2) the use of English as the language of instruction, (3) access to the technology by children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), and (4) the importance of active community engagement in supporting the intervention. Discussion Collectively, results indicated that the EdTech intervention employed in this study aligned well to the education policy in Sierra Leone. Enhanced teacher training is needed, especially in using English as the language of instruction, and continued community engagement is essential for scaling the intervention effectively and ensuring that all children, including those with SEND, access the technology at primary school. These results have implications for other EdTech intervention deployed in resource-poor settings to enhance learning of foundational skills.

Participatory visual methods and school-based responses to HIV in rural South Africa: insights from youth, preservice and inservice teachers - MacEntee, Katie (Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2020)
This paper explores students', preservice teachers' and inservice teachers' perceptions of the contributions and challenges of using participatory visual methodologies (PVM) to enhance HIV education in rural schools. Drawing on findings from three research projects conducted in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, four positive contributions are identified: 1) novelty, fun and engagement; 2) amplifying youth voices; 3) the facilitation of teachers' reflexive learning; and 4) the production of local resources in under-resourced schools. Challenges include: 1) limited technology access; 2) teacher discomfort; and 3) resistance to PVM integration. Teachers and young people, especially in under resourced rural settings, can benefit from integrating such methodologies into their responses to HIV and AIDS. However, sustainable integration must rely on choosing the most appropriate participatory visual methodologies given the technological resources available in school. The paper concludes with recommendations to optimise participatory visual methodologies integration into rural school-based HIV responses.

Pedagogical Demands in Mathematics and Mathematical Literacy: A Case of Mathematics and Mathematical Literacy Teachers and Facilitators - Machaba, France Masilo (EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2017)
The purpose of this article is to examine teachers’ and facilitators’ (subject advisors) views of the approaches to teaching mathematics and mathematical literacy (ML). Using Bernstein’s (1996) constructs of recognition and realisation rules, I analysed data from interviews conducted with mathematics and ML teachers and facilitators. The analysis shows that some teaching strategies are associated with mathematics and others with ML. That is, teachers and facilitators refer to teaching strategies that are domain specific (mathematics and ML). I therefore ask what it means for teaching strategies to be domain specific, particularly in the context of mathematics and ML.

A framework for an ICT-based development program for science teachers in state universities and colleges in region VI - Magallanes, Amel Lavezores; Lavezores, Amel (Universal Journal of Educational Research, 2014)
Curriculum reform is central to the aspirations of many developing countries as they strive to deliver a quality education to their citizens. In State Universities and Colleges in Region VI, with its remarkable achievement of a high literacy rate in a few decades, the next step is bringing its resources to bear on providing a quality education so that Filipino science professors and students may take their places in the global labor force. This study concerns the integration of information and communications technologies (ICT) into the science curriculum of Higher Education Institutions in State Universities and Colleges in the Philippines particularly in Region VI, and the training and development requirements of science professors in this regard. A mixed methodology was employed to obtain qualitative data from 11 policy makers as represented by the Vice President of Academic Affairs of the SUC's in region VI, and quantitative data from a questionnaire for which 139 replies were received from SUC's science professors in Region VI.The findings of this study confirmed those citations in the literature that inefficient management planning and inadequate resources influence the integration of ICT in the science curriculum. Furthermore, the qualitative and quantitative findings confirmed that teachers' access to training is affected by time constraints, ineffective ICT course material, unavailability of ICT infrastructures and facilities, and high cost of ICT trainings. The policy makers interviewed in this study perceived the teachers as having a positive attitude toward ICT integration in the science curriculum, quantitative data from the teachers pointed to a high interest in ICT integration, and their willingness to pursue further professional development in the effective use of ICT in the science curriculum. Furthermore, age factor exhibited a significant difference in ICT skills, utilization and individual barriers of science teachers in SUC's Region VI. The length of service also showed a very significant difference as to the ICT skills, utilization attitudes, and individual barriers of the teacher respondents. However, as to their gender and highest educational attainment, home location and school location, there was no such factor implicating a non-significant difference in the attitudes, skills, utilization and perceived barriers.

Attitude of Teachers-in-training to Teaching Profession in the Nigerian Tertiary Institutions - Makinde, J. O. (2012)
This study was a survey of the attitude of teachers-in-training to teaching profession in the Nigerian tertiary institutions taking College of Education, Ikere-Ekiti and the Faculty of Education, Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti as a case study. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of intending teaching personnel and their dispositions to the teaching profession. The participants were stratified into two and random sample was used to draw one hundred students in the College of Education, Ikere Ekiti and fifty students in the Faculty of Education, Ekiti State University. A set of validated questionnaire entitled: Attitude of Teachers-in-Training to Teaching Profession [ATTTP] was used to measure their attitude to job roles in the teaching profession. Simple percentage and t-test statistics were sued in analyzing the data obtained for the study. Findings revealed among others a deep negative attitude and non committance of the teachers-in-training towards teaching profession. To revert this unacceptable development, the culture of discipline, integrity, hardwork and dedication should be entrenched at the training level of teachers-in-training. Also, government and other stakeholders in education must ensure that they improve upon the welfare of teachers so that other people will be interest in joining the profession.

Enhancing teacher development through 'teacher learning circles' in Malaysian primary schools - Malakolunthu, Suseela (2015)
Literature reiterates that collaborative inquiry and cooperation with colleagues enhance teacher learning. The experiences and encounters of a two-year Teacher Learning Circle (TLC) project in Malaysia, affirms that teachers do achieve higher levels of pedagogical proficiency through peer observation, joint planning, and post lesson evaluation that allow critical review and reinterpretation of their own teaching.Three major characteristic dimensions-detached talk to collegiality,adoption of key principles, and depths of pedagogical talks did indicate the nature of teacher interactions and the complex dynamics of the teacher learning circles.Judiciously implemented TLC would make a difference in teacher learning.

Development and validation of a measure to assess head start children's appraisals of teacher support - Mantzicopoulos, Panayota; Neuharth-Pritchett, Stacey (Journal of School Psychology, 2003)
In this study, we present data on the development of Young Children's Appraisals of Teacher Support (Y-CATS), a measure designed to explore children's perceptions of their relations with teachers along dimensions that comprise warmth, conflict, and autonomy. Three cohorts of Head Start children and prior Head Start attendees (N=364) served as the sample. Cohort 1 children (n1=108) were in first grade, cohort 2 children (n2=123) were in kindergarten, and cohort 3 children (n3=133) attended the Head Start program. Factor analyses supported a three-factor solution, with acceptable internal consistency, along hypothesized dimensions. Males, compared to females, reported more conflictual relationships with their teachers. Conflict scores were particularly pronounced for African American males. Children's reports on the Y-CATS were significantly associated with academic achievement and with teachers' ratings of social skills and behavior problems.

Teachers' Perceptions and Students' Lived Experiences in Vocational-Technical Subjects in a Rural High School in Zimbabwe - Masinire, Alfred (Gender and Education, 2015)
This paper explores the construction of dominant models of gender among students in the Vocational-Technical. In the backdrop of dominant narratives that structure gender policies and practices in schooling in Zimbabwe, the paper elaborates upon how students' daily experiences in workrooms perpetuate the feminisation and masculinisation of fields of study such as DT and HESs in ways that inhibit the learning and achievement of boys and girls in these subjects. The argument in this paper is that in order to understand gender inequality in the Voc-Tech curriculum, educators need to understand how sociocultural perceptions of gender are constructed and embodied at the level of classroom interaction among students and teachers. Such insights provide a deeper understanding for addressing gender inequality in Voc-Tech subjects that moves beyond current structural and institutional barriers within a rural African context.

Knowledge mobilisation in sub-Saharan Africa: an impact evaluation of CPDL in improving primary school children’s performance - Mason, Miriam; Galloway, David (Journal of Professional Capital and Community, 2021)
Purpose A non-governmental organisation (NGO) with schools in Sierra Leone prioritises admission of the most disadvantaged children but nevertheless achieves high educational and social standards. These schools were asked to provide continuing professional development and learning (CPDL) for other schools. This paper aims to report the design, development and delivery of CPDL which aimed to mobilise effective practices more widely. It also reports the design and results of an impact evaluation. Design/methodology/approach It was recognised that CPDL delivered by foreigners would be (1) unaffordable in this impoverished West African country and (2) culturally inappropriate. It was therefore delivered by local teachers from the NGO's own schools. Most had obtained no formal teaching qualification. They were trained to collect data using a quasi-experimental design for an impact evaluation of children's attendance and literacy. A total of five schools participated in the CPDL, with ten control schools. Findings A largely unqualified team succeeded in mobilising knowledge in the experimental schools. Children's attendance in experimental schools improved over that in control schools. Performance in literacy also improved significantly and was maintained at follow-up. Research limitations/implications Findings of the impact evaluation are seen as indicative rather than causal because a quasi-experimental study was conducted rather than a randomised controlled trial. Originality/value This lies in (1) teachers in schools with a severely disadvantaged intake providing a structured programme of CPDL for teachers in other schools; (2) school improvement through knowledge mobilisation in CPDL; (3) an impact evaluation with a quasi-experimental design showing improvement in children's performance.

Closing the Attainment Gap: Collaboration between Schools in Sierra Leone - Mason, Miriam; Galloway, David; Joyce-Gibbons, Andrew (Educational & Child Psychology, 2018)
Background: UK government policy views collaboration with outstanding schools as a way of helping apparently less successful schools to close the attainment gap. However, there has been little debate about criteria for defining a school's success or failure. Moreover it is unclear which aspects of outstanding schools could readily transfer to other schools. These questions applied when EducAid, an NGO with schools for disadvantaged children in Sierra Leone, was asked to provide a programme of workshops for teachers in neighbouring schools. Aims: (i) To establish whether EducAid's results justified agreeing to the request; (ii) To identify key features of EducAid schools that could be transferable to neighbouring schools; (iii) To propose key features of an evaluation. Methods: Collection of national and local data and analysis of key features of EducAid schools that could, and could not, transfer to other schools. Findings: The limited available data supported a decision that EducAid schools should offer workshops for other schools. Key components of the programme are identified, with a design including an ambitious evaluation framework. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first time that teachers in successful schools have been asked to provide a structured programme of workshops for teachers in neighbouring schools. Discussion focuses on the challenge of inter-school collaboration in a low-income country. This includes the tension between the models of pedagogy and interpersonal relations promoted in the CPD and the constraints imposed by the public examination system.

Approaches to providing psycho -social support for children, teachers and other school staff, and social and emotional learning for children in protracted conflict situations - Mattingly, Jacqui (2017)
Whilst the provision of psychosocial activities is regularly mentioned in documents referring to the humanitarian response to education, there is a dearth of literature that refers to exactly what these programmes consist of, and how effective they are. There is, however, widespread recognition of the importance of providing psycho-social interventions to counter the impact of traumatisation on children and youth’s well-being and mental health, which can manifest in depression, shame, withdrawal or aggression.

Supporting Teachers Moving Online, Using a MOOC, During the COVID-19 Pandemic - Mays, Tony John; Ogange, Betty; Naidu, Som; Perris, Kirk (Journal of Learning for Development, 2021)
Following campus closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many Ministries of Education around the world requested teachers to move their teaching online. This case study reflects on how the Commonwealth of Learning responded to requests from two countries to provide support in pedagogical and curricular change for online learning in this process. A Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) platform was used to upskill 11,568 teachers in two regions of the Commonwealth. Analytics from within the course, together with pre-, mid- and end- course surveys of participants’ perceptions indicated that while there was, and is scope for improvement, the short course largely reached its objective of providing immediate support on an introductory level and that the approach adopted was largely appropriate for the purpose.

The effects of continuing professional development (CPD) though sprint on teacher classroom practices and student learning outcomes - Mazala, Chileya Mbasilu (2009)
This study looked at the effects of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) through School Programmes for In -Service for the Term (SPRINT) on teacher classroom practices and student learning outcomes. The purpose of the study was to find out if SPRINT had any effect on teacher classroom practice and student learning outcomes. The target population was all Ndola high schools. The sample consisted of 196 respondents that is, five head teachers, five deputy heads, fifteen heads of department, five School In- Service Providers (SIP), five Zone INSET Providers (ZIP) and twelve teachers from each of the five schools and one Resource Centre Coordinator. The sample also included one hundred grade twelve pupils, twenty randomly picked from each of the five schools Purposive sampling was used to select the schools, head teachers, heads of department, INSET providers and the subject coordinator. Teachers and pupils were selected using simple random sampling. Questionnaires, observations, interviews, Focus Group Discussions and documentary evidence were the research instruments used to gather information. A review of relevant literature and its implication for CPD was undertaken to provide interrogation framework for this study. Guskey's five levels of evaluation were used to structure the framework Data were analyzed by identifying and categorizing significant themes relevant to research objectives. The data were presented in form of tables, percentages,graphs and charts. Qualitative data from interviews were coded and emerging themes grouped into categories The themes and categories of initial data were compared with those of subsequent interviews. Categories were then regrouped to get the most significant categories and themes.The findings from this study indicated that teachers at all career stages expressed the desire to take part in Continuing Professional Development through SPRINT.Research findings also showed that SPRINT activities did impact on teacher classroom practice basing on the twelve observable skills recommended by The Ministry of Education. The findings from this study further revealed that SPRINT had an impact on student learning outcomes as shown by the average scores of students whose teachers took part in CPD and those whose teachers did not.Average scores for the latter were lower than the former category of students.The findings further revealed that although there was evidence of the effect of CPD through SPRINT on teacher classroom practices and student learning outcomes, this programme was hindered by weak organisational support.The results of the study showed that teachers were not enthusiastic about continuing with the CPD programme as it lacked adequate funding and support from both local administrators and the Ministry of Education. Teachers were not involved in identifying training needs and as such did not feel they were the owners of CPD Teachers also felt that this kind of CPD did not help in career progression as the credit system was not effective. At organizational level, this study found that policies and guidelines on how to organize and manage CPD were lacking.CPD leaders also did not have adequate training to prepare them for their roles. Because of this lack of training, CPD leaders could not carry out assessment of the effects of CPD through SPRINT on teacher classroom practices and student learning outcomes.On the basis of these findings, it is recommended that teachers should be in charge of their own CPD and be involved in needs assessment .Secondly, CPD leaders should be properly trained for their role and they should have clear job specifications. In addition, adequate funding for the programme should be made available by both the Government and the School Administration. The Ministry of Education also needs to formulate national policies and guidelines on management and evaluation of SPRINT .A standardized accreditation system which would enable teachers to experience career progression through SPRINT should also be put in place. Lastly, CPD through SPRINT should be made research based with teachers having access to INTERNET and good library facilities.

Teacher and Parental Perceptions of Performance Pay in Education: Evidence from Tanzania - Mbiti, Isaac; Schipper, Youdi (Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE), 2020)
This paper presents evidence on teacher opinions regarding performance pay from a large experimental evaluation that included three interventions: a school grants program, a teacher performance pay program, and a combination of both programs. The experimental evaluation was conducted in a nationally representative sample of 350 public primary schools in Tanzania. We report four sets of results. First, approximately 96 percent of teachers support the idea of teacher performance pay, while 61 percent favor at least some performance linked element in a future salary increase. Further, 80 percent of head teachers support performance pay. Second, we find that exposure to a performance pay program has a limited positive impact on teacher support. Third, contrary to arguments from performance pay critics that such programs adversely affect the work environment in schools, we find that teachers in all the experimental arms report higher satisfaction with the work environment and job support. Fourth, we find that a majority of parents (55 percent) prefer performance pay over school grants, but exposure to the experimental programs does not change this preference.

Understanding Teacher School Choice Preferences: What Matters Most for Teacher Deployment in Sierra Leone? - McBurnie, Chris; Godwin, Katie; Haßler, Björn (2022)
This exploratory mixed-methods study investigates the factors that shape where teachers want to work in Sierra Leone. We identify five dominant factors: monetary incentives, school conditions, opportunities for professional development and support, school location, and relationships with the school and the community. Importantly, these factors combine to push and pull teachers to different locations. Moreover, the factors interact with individual teacher characteristics such as gender, family status, and experience to influence school choice preferences. This set of factors — and their interaction with certain teacher characteristics — continues to shape preferences as teachers move up the career ladder.

International distance learning in special education: a program evaluation of a US-Ecuador collaboration - McPherson, Rebekah (University of North Texas, 2010)
The internationalization of distance learning in special education is at a pivotal point in expansion. Even with concerted efforts through traditional means to increase the supply of special educators, shortages persist; therefore, teacher preparation programs are turning to online education. This dissertation study was a formative program evaluation of a bilingual, two-course sequence within a web-based special education master’s program offered at the University of North Texas (UNT), in Denton, Texas, and at the Universidad Casa Grande (UCG) in Guayaquil, Ecuador. The research design was based on the unfolding model of program evaluation, and it included mixed-methods of data collection. The model focused attention on (1) scientific evidence, (2) cost-benefit differential, (3) underlying values, and, (4) unintended consequences. Data came from archived documents as well as six semi-structured interviews with stakeholders and survey data from 23 student participants. The findings for the general-orientation course, Special Education Programs and Practices, revealed mixed results concerning multicultural awareness on the part of student participants. However, it seemed to have influenced their lesson design and made a difference in other areas. Some multicultural awareness concepts frequented the discussion board. The specialized course, Assistive Technology, which had more frequent communication between UNT and UCG on the discussion board, suggested larger increases in students’ multicultural awareness. With respect to both courses, the stakeholders recommended that the structure be strengthened for non-bilingual instructors and students to be able to communicate more freely.

Awareness and use of a mobile phone as a potential pedagogical tool among secondary school teachers in Tanzania - Mfaume, Hamisi (International Journal of Education and Development using Information and Communication Technology (IJEDICT), 2019)
The government of Tanzania through its ICT Policy for Basic Education, has indicated a commitment to use of mobile phones among other ICTs, as a strategy to enhance the quality of education. It is from this fact that this study determined teachers’ awareness of the educational benefits of the device, their use and barriers towards their educational use. The study was qualitative in nature, using a sample of twenty one (21) teachers who were purposefully selected from three secondary schools. Data were sought through semi-structured interviews and were thematically analysed. The findings revealed that teachers are well informed of the benefits, but they hardly utilize it for educational purposes. Lack of knowledge and skills, a negative attitude, lack of awareness of the ICT policy, age and low motivation emerged as key barriers. In light of the findings, the study concluded that the government’s commitment to integrate the device in the promotion of quality education has not yet moved beyond policy statements. Thus, a concerted effort is needed to train teachers on pedagogical utilization of the device.

Education Policies and Teacher Deployment in Northern Ireland: Ethnic Separation, Cultural Encapsulation and Community Cross-Over - Milliken, Matthew; Bates, Jessica; Smith, Alan (British Journal of Educational Studies, 2020)
Education is a key mechanism for the restoration of inter-community relations in post-conflict societies. The Northern Ireland school system remains divided along sectarian lines. Much research has been conducted into the efficacy of initiatives developed to bring children together across this divide but there has been an absence of studies into the impact of educational division on teachers. A number of policies, separately and in combination, restrict teachers’ options to move across and between the divided school sectors. The recruitment of teachers is excepted from fair employment legislation; details of teachers’ community identity are consequently not collected, and little is known about the impact that ethnic identity, educational policies and sectoral practices have had on teacher deployment. This quantitative project investigates the extent to which the deployment of teachers in mainstream schools in Northern Ireland reflects the enduring community divide. It is observed that, whilst primary schools are staffed mainly by community-consistent teachers, there has been an increase in cross-over teachers in post-primary schools – particularly in the grammar sector. Around one-in-five teachers have had no educational experience outside of their community of origin; this cultural encapsulation may contribute to a reluctance to engage with contentious issues in reconciliation programmes.

"Let's not leave this problem": exploring inclusive education in rural South Africa - Mitchell, Claudia; De Lange, Naydene; Thuy, Nguyen-Thi Xuan (Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2008)
Inclusive education represents a new agenda for educational reform that spans a wide range of socio-political, cultural, ethical, personal and interpersonal dimensions. Working towards educational inclusion demands commitments, responsibilities and initiatives on the part of all parties to take into consideration the meanings and purpose of education and social justice, to engage and take collective actions in their struggle to combat the diverse forms of educational and social exclusion. This paper presents an educational initiative to implement inclusive education in rural KwaZulu-Natal, an area of South Africa that is most seriously affected by the pandemic of HIV and AIDS. Through the implementation of participatory video-making projects in two schools, the authors seek to empower the voices and actions of teachers in an effort to cope with the problems of poverty and marginalization facing many children. The outcomes of this type of participatory work with teachers have implications for the policy-making process, which in turn, could change the ways educational policy research is structured and implemented.

Effectiveness of a training programme on the knowledge and perception of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder among primary school teachers in Kano, Nigeria - Mohammed, Muftau; Bella‐Awusah, Tolulope; Adedokun, Babatunde; Lagunju, Ikeoluwa; Ani, Cornelius (International Journal of Mental Health, 2023)
This study assessed the effect of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) training on teachers’ knowledge and perception of the condition in Kano, Nigeria. It was a controlled trial of 200 primary schoolteachers from two Local Government Areas (LGAs). One LGA was randomly assigned to the intervention group and the other to a waitlist control (100 teachers per group). The intervention group received two training sessions on ADHD one week apart. The training was based on the Mental Health Gap Action Programme – Intervention Guide (mhGAP-IG). Participants completed the ADHD Knowledge Questionnaire, ADHD Attitude Scale, and Knowledge of Behavioral Intervention Questionnaire at baseline and one-week post-intervention. The participants ranged from 17 to 58 years (Mean = 34.1 years; SD = 8.7), comprising 112 females and 85 males. The intervention and control groups were broadly similar at baseline. Controlling for baseline scores and other differences (age, gender, duration of teaching experience, and if schools employed staff dedicated to helping children with mental health difficulties such as ADHD), the intervention group had significantly higher scores on Knowledge of ADHD and Knowledge of Behavioral Management of the condition, with effect sizes of 0.7 and 0.3, respectively. This intervention led to statistically significant improvements in the teachers’ knowledge of ADHD and behavioral intervention for ADHD. This provides further evidence of the feasibility and effectiveness of specific ADHD-training interventions for primary school teachers in Nigeria.

Supervision of teaching practice is an important aspect of training teachers in improving their teaching skills. Barriers such as distance and time factor are the constraints faced by the lecturers at the National University of Malaysia to communicate with the teacher trainees under their supervision. Therefore, this study aims to develop and evaluate a social-networking site Ning's platform for the supervision of lecturers to teach on-line training. This study used the case design where a total of nine teacher trainees involved in this study. It found that overall, acceptance of the use of the social-networking site Ning mean score at the highest level of 3.91. In addition, all student teachers have positive attitudes towards the use of the social-networking site Ning social-networking site and agree a suitable approach to the supervision of one of the online teaching practices. While the "blog" is the most active facility used by student teachers in which they do self-reflection. In conclusion, the social-networking site Ning has the potential to assist lecturers to carry out supervision on-line teaching practice. (Contains 5 figures and 1 table.)

School-based teacher development in Sub-Saharan Africa: building a new research agenda - Moon, Bob (The Curriculum Journal, 2007)
This article explores and analyses the context of school-based teacher development in Sub-Saharan Africa. The argument is made that many aspects of the teacher problem in these regions mirror those in the rest of the world, but the size and scale of the need makes the challenge of providing schools and teachers to achieve ‘Education for All’ (EFA) one of the world's biggest educational problems. As such, a response from the global community, parallel to similar initiatives in health, is required. The context of the problem is set out, particularly the inevitability of creating new school-based modes of teacher development. The analysis draws extensively on the work of the Teacher Education in Sub-Saharan Africa (TESSA) research programme. The article then goes on to suggest: (1) the revolution in communication technologies provides an opportunity radically to reassess the forms and modes of teacher development, particularly in rural areas; and (2) there is a need for research and development activity to provide the foundation upon which such potential can be realized. In this context a new ‘architecture for teacher development’ needs putting in place, a process that should be a mainstream concern for the world's education research community.

The role of new communication technologies and distance education in responding to the global crisis in teacher supply and training: an analysis of the research and development experience - Moon, Bob (Educação & Sociedade, 2008)
Introduction Who does not remember a good teacher? Even so, it can have many appearances. In fact, teachers can be inspiring, conscientious, caring, and often dedicated. A few are lucky enough to have all these characteristics and more. In all societies, the teacher is the figure who inspires myths, stories, memories. Strong emotions surround the teacher's role: trust, deference, love and sometimes fear. In rural communities, the village's primary teacher, along with a priest, a prefect, and an elder, traditionally provided a moral orientation that mediated between the newly emerged states and the communities they sought to hold together. However, at the beginning of the 21st century, these folk ideas about "the teacher" are called into question. In many parts of the world, the vocation of teaching presents the features of a crisis. Almost every country is struggling to hire enough teachers. In some regions (sub-Saharan Africa, for example), problems of recruitment, retention and teacher training are an acute problem. This article will examine how this crisis is taking place, and more particularly the organizational and logistical challenges associated with providing sufficient education and training to the millions of new teachers needed to expand education systems. Special attention will be given to the contexts of the developing world, where significant international efforts are being made to overcome what could be called the greatest educational challenge in the world. This article will also examine the research and development experience of a number of open and distance learning programs, with particular emphasis on the emerging role of new information and communication technologies, including "open educational resources" (Open Educational Resources ).

Can new modes of digital learning help resolve the teacher crisis in sub-Saharan Africa? - Moon, Bob; Villet, Charmaine (Journal of Learning for Development, 2017)
Sub-Saharan Africa, more than any other part of the world, is experiencing a crisis in finding sufficiently qualified teachers to meet the needs of expanding school systems. The professional development support provided to serving teachers is also inadequate in most countries. The most recent data on learner outcomes has revealed a worrying picture of significant under-achievement across the region. This paper argues that the teacher education and training structures of the last century will never be able to meet urgent contemporary needs. Given population growth, especially among the young, large-scale expansion of the teaching force and the associated teacher education systems will be the norm through to the middle years of the century and beyond. In this context the paper argues for a significant policy shift to expand quality teacher education and professional support at scale through a more school-based and digitally supported network model of provision. Examples of current digital programmes within the region are considered as well as the new technologies that are emerging with relevance to teacher education. The paper suggests a three-phase process through which national governments might move in making the necessary changes in policy and practice.

Vocational Education and Training through Open and Distance Learning: World review of distance education and open learning - Moran, L; Rumble, G (2004)
The world needs workers with more and better skills. Conventional apprenticeships and old methods of professional training are not providing enough skilled workers, so governments, companies and colleges are all using open and distance learning to fill these gaps. This unique international review of experience looks at the policies needed in both the private and the public sector for effective vocational education and training at all levels – from basic skills to continuing professional education. It goes on to examine the new roles of information and communication technologies, establishing what we know about their performance, and identifying the choices to be made in applying technologies to vocational education and training. The book will help senior institutional managers and policy makers to understand and appreciate: • the role distance education can play in increasing skills levels in young people and the existing workforce; • the potential advantages and disadvantages of using technology, and therefore make better-informed choices about technology use; • how to integrate distance education with traditional educational models and approaches.

Influence of Supervision on Technical College Teachers’ Performance in Yobe State, Nigeria - Moses, Dauda; Ndatti, Bawa; Adamu, Umar Alhaji; Wakili, Bala Adamu (ATBU Journal of Science, Technology & Education, 2018)
The persistent lack of teachers’ dedication to teaching led to poor students’ academic performance and trickling down to graduating less skill-oriented students by Yobe state technical colleges. This development has been attributed to the manner administrators apply various school policies. It is in view of this that a present study investigated the influence of internal instructional supervision on teachers’ performance in technical colleges of Yobe State, Nigeria. The study conducted in eight technical colleges, employed a descriptive survey research design guided by two research questions and two null hypotheses. The population of the study was 894 which consisted of 766 technical college teachers and 128 school administrators. A sample size of 280 respondents comprising of 240 technical teachers and 40 school administrators were selected through proportionate stratified random sampling technique. Instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire developed by the researchers. Three validators have validated the questionnaire which was later trial tested on 20 technical teachers and five school administrators in Government technical college, Yola Adamawa State. A reliability coefficient of 0.92 was obtained using Cronbach’s Alpha. Data collected was analyzed using Mean statistics to answer the research questions, while z-test at 0.05 level of significance was used in testing the hypotheses. Findings of the study revealed among others that internal instructional supervision is being carried out to a high extent in technical colleges of Yobe State; it also influences teachers’ performance by improving their skills in various instructional activities/processes. The study recommended among others that Ministry of Education should through the science and technical schools board intensify external supervision in order to complement the existing high extent internal instructional supervision policy obtainable in technical colleges in Yobe State for more effective teacher performance.

Mean and standard deviation was used to answer the research questions, while z-test was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Findings: The finding of the study revealed that the level of ICT integration in teaching electrical installation and maintenance trade is low; the impact of ICT on the performance of electrical installation and maintenance trade teachers indicated negative impact. Practical Implications: The study has practical implications for teachers. Based on the findings, Electrical Installation and Maintenance Work Trade Teachers should engage themselves in group discussion and idea sharing among them on improving ICT integration in teaching electrical installation and maintenance trade among others. Originality/value: The performance of ICT users will improve as there are several platforms available for the ICT.

Professional Development for Primary School Teachers in Cameroon: Is the Cascade PD Model Effective? - Moulakdi, André; Bouchamma, Yamina (Creative Education, 2020)
Teacher professional development (TPD), a constant concern on the minds of education leaders, is conducted in various ways in education systems around the world. Using Guskey’s professional development assessment model, we evaluated a cascade model of teacher professional development in Cameroon’s primary education system by examining the responses of the teachers who experienced these activities. Our findings indicate that the professional growth activities undertaken in cascade format, particularly professional development (PD) days, teacher evaluations, demonstration and group lessons did not adequately address the teachers’ training needs and expectations and this because this model of training is not suitable to improve teaching practices in the context.

Aligning the principles of assessment for learning to learning in physical education: A review of literature - Moura, André; Graça, Amândio; MacPhail, Ann; Batista, Paula (Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2021)
Background: A comprehensive international literature review on alternative assessment in physical education has been provided by López-Pastor et al. ([2013]. “Alternative Assessment in Physical Education: A Review of International Literature.” Sport, Education & Society 18 (1): 57–76). The authors remarked that while more authentic forms of assessment in physical education have been evidenced over the last three decades, the extent to which alternative assessment practices have become common practice in the teaching of physical education is yet to be established.Purpose: This review provides an updated perspective on the prevalence of assessment for learning (AfL) principles in physical education discourse since the 2013 publication. The intent is to inform and consider future AfL practices in school physical education and physical education teacher education (PETE) programmes.Methods: Eligibility criteria for the review required full-text articles written in English or Spanish; published (open access and/or in print) in peer-reviewed, academic and professional journals; and limited to the period 2013–2019. Inclusion criteria required articles to report assessment being used to promote learning in physical education, regardless of making reference to ‘assessment for learning’.Findings: Fifty-two articles met the inclusion criteria. A thematic analysis of these articles resulted in four themes: i) traditional positioning of assessment in physical education; ii) AfL and physical education; iii) the constraints in enacting AfL in physical education; and iv) how to most effectively embed AfL in daily physical education practices.Conclusions: The main conclusions of this review are that i) AfL is a learning-oriented assessment based on socio constructivist theories and integrated into the teaching-learning process, ii) physical education teachers continue to use assessment solely to grade students; iii) physical education teachers do not have the necessary skillset to use AfL in physical education successfully; iv) physical education teachers need to be supported to implement AfL; and v) it is necessary to consider how best PETE programmes can infuse AfL across the programme.

An integrated model for teacher continuing professional learning in Zimbabwean primary schools - Mtetwa, David KJ; Ndemo, Zakaria (African Journal of Teacher Education and Development, 2022)

Challenges in the training of teachers through open and distance learning: Implications for quality - Mubika, KA; Bukaliya, R (Asian Journal of Social Sciences & Humanities, 2013)
This study aimed at establishing the challenges that may have affected the training of teachers through ODL at the Zimbabwe Open University. The study was carried out in order to put in place a model that may be implemented to improve the quality teacher training programme. The study adopted the case study design for the gathering the in-depth perceptions held by the given population. Questionnaires, telephone interviews and documentary analysis were adopted for data collection. The population of the study consisted of the National Programme Leader, Regional Programme Coordinators and graduate diploma students and their former school heads. Thirty-three members of the population constituted the sample for this study. Among other findings, results of the study show that while the training of teachers was a very viable undertaking at ZOU, existing collaboration between the schools and the training institution was very informal. Teaching practice faced numerous problems such as inadequate funding and unavailability of teaching practice vehicles. The study recommended that there be collaboration among all the stakeholders. There is also need for the setting up of a Teaching Practice Department which should be fully equipped with to enable the smooth flow of teaching practice supervisory activities.

An analysis of pre-service family planning teaching in clinical and nursing education in Tanzania - Muganyizi, Projestine S; Ishengoma, Joyce; Kanama, Joseph; Kikumbih, Nassoro; Mwanga, Feddy; Killian, Richard; McGinn, Erin (BMC medical education, 2014)
Doc number: 142 Abstract Background: Promoting family planning (FP) is a key strategy for health, economic and population growth. Sub-Saharan Africa, with one of the lowest contraceptive prevalence and highest fertility rates globally, contributes half of the global maternal deaths. Improving the quality of FP services, including enhancing pre-service FP teaching, has the potential to improve contraceptive prevalence. In efforts to improve the quality of FP services in Tanzania, including provider skills, this study sought to identify gaps in pre-service FP teaching and suggest opportunities for strengthening the training. Methods: Data were collected from all medical schools and a representative sample of pre-service nursing, Assistant Medical Officer (AMO), Clinical Officer (CO) and assistant CO schools in mainland Tanzania. Teachers responsible for FP teaching at the schools were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. Observations on availability of teaching resources and other evidence of FP teaching and evaluation were documented. Relevant approved teaching documents were assessed for their suitability as competency-based FP teaching tools against predefined criteria. Quantitative data were analyzed using EPI Info 6 and qualitative data were manually analyzed using content analysis. Results: A total of 35 pre-service schools were evaluated for FP teaching including 30 technical education and five degree offering schools. Of the assessed 11 pre-service curricula, only one met the criteria for suitability of FP teaching. FP teaching was typically theoretical with only 22.9% of all the schools having systems in place to produce graduates who could skillfully provide FP methods. Across schools, the target skills were the same level of competence and skewed toward short acting methods of contraception. Only 23.3% (n = 7) of schools had skills laboratories, 76% (n = 22) were either physically connected or linked to FP clinics. None of the degree providing schools practiced FP at its own teaching hospital. Teachers were concerned with poor practical exposure and lack of teaching material. Conclusions: Pre-service FP teaching in Tanzania is theoretical, poorly guided, and skewed toward short acting methods; a majority of the schools are unable to produce competent FP service providers. Pre-service FP training should be strengthened with more focus on practical skills. Promoting family planning (FP) is a key strategy for health, economic and population growth.

From teacher oriented to student centered learning, developing an ICT supported learning approach at the Eduardo Mondlane University, Mozambique - Muianga, Xavier; Klomsri, Tina; Tedre, Matti; Mutimucuio, Inocente (TOJET: The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology, 2018)
Eduardo Mondlane University (UEM) is in the process of modernizing its teaching and learning approaches. As one of the pedagogical reform projects, student-centred learning (SCL) in combination with web 2.0 tools was introduced as a pilot in the course ‘ICT in Environmental Education’ in the Faculty of Education. This study explored - using action research strategy - to what extent the new pedagogical approach contributed to students’ competency development. Twenty-nine students were involved in the course, eight semi-structured interviews with students were combined with sixteen classroom observations and 8 weeks how students used the Learning Management System (LMS) and web 2.0 tools. Results showed that collaborative E-learning supported the development of students’ information management and problem solving skills as well as their metacognitive strategies for self-regulated learning. ICT supported problem based learning contributed to an increased intrinsic motivation. However, not all students were ready to adopt an active role. At the start they looked upon teaching as a one-way knowledge transfer. This study recommends that E-learning initiatives in Mozambique should always go together with an ICT literacy course and training in 21st-century learning skills.

Teacher professional development outside the lecture room: Voices of professionally unqualified practicing teachers in rural Zimbabwe secondary schools - Mukeredzi, Tabitha Grace (Global Education Review, 2016)
Attempts to address global pressure to achieve Education for All have been hampered by two fundamental challenges in developing countries, namely an acute shortage of teachers and large rural populations in these countries. In addition there is a trend for qualified competent teachers to shun working in rural settings. While recruitment of professionally unqualified graduate teachers into the teaching profession has become internationally acclaimed to address in particular rural school postings and Education for All commitments, there remain outstanding questions regarding how such teachers professionally learn and grow in these rural contexts outside the Teacher Education Institution lecture room. An understanding of how they develop professionally is crucial. The study explored professional development experiences of professionally unqualified practicing teachers in rural secondary schools. A qualitative design was adopted and three-interview series complimented by photo elicitations were employed to explore the teachers’ professional development experiences. Data were transcribed and manually analysed inductively utilizing open coding. Findings suggest that professional development experiences for these teachers occurred in four sites: school structures, wider professional sites, planned and unplanned gatherings, and the classroom. Drawing on concepts around professional development to describe, analyse and understand data, I illustrate that professionally unqualified practicing teachers in rural secondary schools experience professional development outside Teacher Education Institutions in interaction, through domains of formality and experience: non formal, informal and experiential.

Teacher's Voices Crying in the School Wilderness: Involvement of Secondary School Teachers in Curriculum Development in Zambia. - Mulenga, Innocent Mutale; Mwanza, Christine (Journal of Curriculum and teaching, 2019)

Teacher’s Voices Crying in the School Wilderness: Involvement of Secondary School Teachers in Curriculum Development in Zambia - Mulenga, Innocent Mutale; Mwanza, Christine (Journal of Curriculum and Teaching, 2019)
In Zambia, curriculum development for primary and secondary schools is done centrally. The Curriculum Development Centre (CDC), the institution placed with the responsibility of facilitating curriculum development, claims that the Zambian school curriculum is developed through a consultative and participatory approach through course and subject panels where teachers and other stakeholders are represented. However, there has been no empirical evidence to suggest the roles that teachers, who are the major implementers of the same curricular, are required to play in the development process. This study therefore, sought to establish perceptions of secondary school teachers on their role in the curriculum development process in Zambia. The concurrent embedded design of the mixed methods approach was employed with the qualitative approach dominating the study while the quantitative was used to add detail. Data from secondary school teachers was collected using questionnaires while interview guides were used for Head teachers. Raw data collected from interviews and questionnaires was analyzed using themes and descriptive statistics and then arranged into significant patterns so as to easily interpret and understand the essence of the data. The findings of the study clearly suggested that the majority of secondary school teachers in Lusaka were willing to participate in the curriculum development process, especially in situational analysis, in the formulation of educational objectives, in setting up the curriculum project, and in the writing of curriculum materials such as textbooks. From the study it was concluded that teachers were aware of some of the roles that they could play in the curriculum development but were not adequately involved in the development process.

The Importance of Teacher-Student Relationships for Adolescents with High Incidence Disabilities - Murray, Christopher; Pianta, Robert C. (Theory Into Practice, 2007)
In this article the authors examine the theoretical and empirical basis of teacher-student relationships. They focus specifically on the importance of supportive teacher-student relationships in the lives of adolescents with high-incidence disabilities. Students receiving special education services in these categories are at a heightened risk of experiencing social, emotional, and mental health problems. School-based programs and practices designed to promote supportive relationships between teachers and students with disabilities have the potential to provide these students with much needed support within the contexts of schools. A number of factors that can enhance teacher-student relationships including school and classroom structures, teacher beliefs and practices, and social-emotional curricula are presented and discussed.

Designing the Course and Curricula for Teacher Development, Open School and Vocational Education through Media Education in Eritrea - Murthy, C. S. H. N. (Educational Media International, 2006)
Since Eritrea became independent in 1993, efforts have been underway to revise and update the conventional education curriculum. With a determination to quickly bridge the growing knowledge gap between Eritrea and the rest of the world, the Eritrean Government has decided on media education as a sustainable alternative. This choice is in line with developments emerging from many African, Asian and Latin American countries as the only option in line with the philosophy of UNESCO and the Association for Development of Education in Africa (ADEA). It is against this backdrop that a strategy paper "Media education in Eritrean education" was developed. This paper formed the basis of the developments discussed in this article.

Evaluating the Performance of Student-Teachers’ Pedagogical Skills Prior to Teaching Practice Using Multimedia Microteaching Laboratory in Colleges of Education Yobe State, Nigeria - Musa, Lawan Dumai; Mamman, Hassan; Halilu, Usman Ibrahim (The International Journal of Humanities & Social Studies, 2020)
Pedagogical skills are basic tools teachers should possess for effectiveness in their service. Therefore, teaching the student teachers those skills is not an easy task; hence the need for multimedia microteaching laboratory which aids pre-service teachers to acquire them under controlled laboratory setting. The research designs adopted for study was quasi experimental research design using pretest and post-test. The study was be guided by three research objectives, three research questions and three null hypotheses and was tested at (0.05) level of significance. The population of the study was 4,334 NCE II Students of Umar Suleiman college of Education Gashua, Federal College of Education (Technical) Potiskum and College of Arabic and Islamic Studies Potiskum. A purposive random sampling technique was used to determine the sample from population, in the ratio of 30:30student teachers drawn from both male and female student. The instrument used for data collection was microteaching skills rating scale (MSRS) developed by the researchers. Data collected was analyzed using descriptive and inferential stati stics, at (0.05) level of significance. The result revealed that; Multimedia Microteaching Laboratory approach improved pre-service teachers’ pedagogical skills prior to teaching practice. Multimedia Microteaching Laboratory was presumed to be better approach in improving males’ students’ pedagogical skills prior to teaching practice than their female counterpart. This shows that the increase in the pedagogical skills of the Federal College Education pre-service teachers was significantly higher than the increase in the pedagogical skills of State-owned College per-service teachers.

Teaching with and Learning through ICTs in Zimbabwe's Teacher Education Colleges. - Musarurwa, C (US-China Education Review, 2011)
The use of ICTs (information and communication technologies) in Zimbabwe’s teacher education colleges is of paramount importance. The teacher trainees have a dual role to play: learning through ICTs and also learning how to teach through them. Interestingly, the rate at which schools have embraced the use of ICTs is unprecedented, but this has not been matched with an equal effort by teacher education colleges and hence teacher trainees have been less exposed and trained in using such technologies. Evidently, this has created a mismatch between the need for teachers who are conversant with ICTs and e-learning and their availability. This paper stems from a pilot programme in which the author was an active participant. It reflects on efforts made to integrate ICTs into the teacher education curriculum and evaluates the impact that this programme will have on teacher education in Zimbabwe.

The Impact of Cl4STEM Online Community of Practice on Science and Mathematics Teachers’ Knowledge and Professional Development in Nigeria - Mustapha, M. T.; Yaki, Akawo Angwal; Garba, Sani Hyedima; Usman, Syaikhu; Abdullahi, K.; Dahiru, Sabiru; Aliyu, Zainab Abubakar; Yusuf, Abdul Raheem; Hussaini, Muhammad (International Journal of Research and Innovation in Social Science, 2024)
Connected Learning for STEM (CL4STEM) is an innovative teacher capacity-building project piloted in Nigeria. It aimed at science, technology, engineering, and mathematics teachers’ capacity building to foster higher-order thinking with inclusion and equity (HOTIE) in their classroom practices. It adopted a model of mobile-based communities of practice (CoP) as one of the strategies for CL4STEM teacher professional development. Hence, this study investigated the impact of the CL4STEM project online CoP on science and mathematics teachers’ subject matter knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, and professional practice for achieving HOTIE in their classrooms. The study adopted a survey research design involving documentary content analysis and a one-group pre-test-posttest design to collect qualitative and quantitative data to achieve the objectives of the research. The population of the study was all science; biology, chemistry, and physics teachers in senior secondary schools in selected states in Northern Nigeria. Purposive sampling was used to select one newly qualified biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics teacher per subject area from twenty sample schools in the population, thus a target sample size of 80 science and mathematics teachers, 20 each per subject. Content analysis of the module reports and evaluation of lesson plans were used to obtain qualitative data on the science and mathematics teachers’ CoP practices and professional learning. The Pre-test and post-test on the teachers’ subject matter knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge were the instruments for quantitative data collection. The instruments were validated by the project consultant and science and mathematics education experts. Four research objectives and four corresponding research questions guided the study. Descriptive statistics, descriptive content analysis, and descriptive narrative were used to analyze the data. The study revealed that online CoP has remarkably impacted teachers’ subject matter and pedagogical content knowledge and professional development.

Student Teachers School Experience in Zambia: Experiences and Challenges - Mutale Mulenga, Innocent; Bwalya, Katongo (EAST AFRICAN JOURNAL OF EDUCATION AND SOCIAL SCIENCES, 2022)
The purpose of this study was to establish challenges and experiences faced by student teachers during teaching practice in Zambia. The study employed the concurrent embedded design. Data was collected from 280 respondents including 200 student teachers, 30 host school deputy head teachers and 50 lecturers. The study employed a questionnaire, focus group discussion and an interview to collect data from the respondents. The study established some challenges which can serve as learning points for teacher educators and administrators in institutions of higher learning that are running teacher education programs. The challenges include the struggle of maintaining low costs while having a high quality school experience, lecturers hurrying through the supervision process, the tendency to involve non-lecturers to supervise students and students lack of adequate support during the school experience period. The school experience period was adequate and students had a number of benefits from it although some institutions had it at the end of the program. It was therefore recommended that school experience be continually evaluated by both the Ministry of Education and institutions that provide teacher education programs in Zambia and that the length of the school experience period be maintained so as to enhance the benefits that student teacher drew from it. It was further recommended that institutions preparing teachers should make sure that school experience is done during the teacher education period and not at the end of it so that students and their lecturers evaluate the experience before the end of the program.

Inclusion of GIS in student teacher training and its significance in higher education in southern African countries - Mzuza, Maureen Kapute; Westhuizen, Christo Van der (International Research in Geographical and Environmental Education, 2020)
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 countries (South Africa, Botswana and Malawi) teach GIS at their teacher-training universities and secondary schools. In Lesotho, GIS are only taught in secondary schools. In other countries, such as Zambia, Namibia and Zimbabwe, GIS are not taught at all at teacher-training universities and secondary schools but only at universities or departments that do not train teachers. There is no inclusion of GIS at the universities in Angola, Mozambique, Swaziland and Lesotho. Countries that use GIS have demonstrated that the course helps with decision-making, critical thinking and inquiry-based and learner-centred learning, which have the ability to improve the quality of education. Educators and policy-makers are encouraged to reinforce the inclusion of GIS and use of relevant pedagogical skills in teacher-training universities.

The need of developing a self-critical experimental attitude – intentions, concepts and consequences for vocational teacher education - Naeve-Stoß, Nicole (Social Dimension and Participation in Vocational Education and Training, 2017)
The central aim of teacher education is to develop a profound scientific professionalism, which enables teachers to reflect upon their educational actions in a complex and non-standardized pedagogical environment. In this sense, study programs in teacher education for vocational schools should foster the development of both a self-critical experimental attitude and an inquiry-based disposition, as well as the willingness to engage in self-reflection. The development of such attitudes is enabled by the concepts of reflexive and research-based learning, which will be outlined in this paper.

Interaction in a discussion list: an exploration of cognitive, social, and teaching presence in teachers’ online collaborations - Nami, Fatemeh; Marandi, S Susan; Sotoudehnama, Elaheh (ReCALL: the Journal of EUROCALL, 2018)
Discussion lists have gained a significant popularity in professional development research over the past few decades for the opportunity they provide for asynchronous interaction. This article presents findings from a small-scale case study that aimed at exploring the nature of teachers’ asynchronous exchanges in a discussion list. The data comprised the archived log of the messages in a Yahoo Group discussion list by five in-service English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers who volunteered to take part in a hybrid computer-assisted language learning (CALL) teacher education course in a state university in Iran. The discussion list was incorporated into the course to engage participants in professional dialogue on topics related to technology/CALL. During the initial data analysis, participants’ asynchronous exchanges were grouped as suggestions, questions, unclassified, answers, and delivery, drawing upon Oriogun and Cave’s (2008) SQUAD categorization, following the constant comparative method of analysis. Through a follow-up computer-mediated discourse analysis, cognitive, social, and teaching presence functional moves were identified in the data. Participants used the space not only for socializing and peer instruction but also for constructing knowledge. Despite an uneven pattern of contribution, asynchronous exchanges provided opportunities for knowledge construction at different levels of cognitive presence on topics ranging from technology tools and their affordances/constraints to computer-assisted language testing, materials development, and classroom management. The findings provide CALL teacher education researchers and course designers insights into the potential of asynchronous interaction for online and blended language teacher education.

The Importance of Educating Girls in the Newly Merged Districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan: Policy Paper - Naveed, Sumbal (Center for Universal Education at The Brookings Institution, 2018)
The Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) in Pakistan, named the Newly Merged Districts (NMDs) of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in July 2018, have begun rebuilding after years of Talibanization and military operations. This policy paper focuses on how the government-led education activities can be best aligned to make education possible for the districts' girls, who have long been excluded from education due to conflict and war. Based on stakeholder perceptions, the paper identifies some barriers missed by the FATA's Education Sector Plan (ESP) and points out the opportunities within communities to accelerate the efforts to improve the girls' participation in schools. The results of the study propose to use a gender lens for planning and implementing the activities that can improve access to quality education, to prepare the girls for a better and more productive life.

Teacher perceptions on the effectiveness of an English remedial teaching programme in primary schools in Zimbabwe: towards an alternative to the deficit model - Ndebele, Clever (International Journal of Educational Sciences, 2014)
In the Zimbabwean education system, primary school pupils are tested at the beginning of grade four to determine their English proficiency and based on the test results those who fall below a certain predetermined score are placed on a generic remedial programme offered by a specially designated teacher. This study set out to evaluate the effectiveness of this English remedial education programme in Zimbabwe. Using the descriptive survey method, a total of thirty respondents from ten schools, comprising ten heads of schools, ten Grade four teachers and ten remedial teachers were issued with a semi structured questionnaire. For data analysis, substantive themes were deduced and outlined from the data through content analysis. The study showed that very few pupils were benefiting from remedial instruction. Remedial teachers were poorly trained for remedial teaching, materials for use for both teachers and pupils were grossly inadequate, while supervision and monitoring by Schools Psychological Services (SPS) was virtually non-existent. The study recommends that Schools Psychological Services considers an integrated approach where, rather than pupils being sent to an external expert for fixing, the grade four teacher provides the extra tuition using authentic contextualized grade four material.

Improving educational outcomes & reducing absenteeism at remote villages with mobile technology and WhatsApp: findings from rural India - Nedungadi, Prema; Mulki, Karunya; Raman, Raghu (Education and Information Technologies, 2018)
Reduction of teacher and student absenteeism, together with consistent teacher support and training, are critical factors in improving the quality of education in rural India. As part of an ongoing project involving schools and educational centers in rural areas spread across 21 Indian states, this study investigated how implementation of two simple, accessible technologies could not only reduce absenteeism but also increase teachers' effectiveness and improve student performance. In addition to students and teachers, key stakeholders included educational coordinators who provided support and monitoring regarding use of WhatsApp and two additional apps designed specifically to support simple educational improvements. In our study we coded and analyzed nine months of messages (n = 8968), both photographs and texts, posted by 26 participants. The number of text messages related to attendance was strongly positively correlated with frequency of interactions between coordinators and teachers. Our approach resulted in increased teacher and student attendance, as well as improvements in lessons and other planned educational activities. This model functions well in rural settings where there is poor internet connectivity and lack of supporting infrastructure. Remote schools can easily adopt this tablet-based model to reduce teacher absenteeism, improve teaching techniques, improve educational resources, and increase student performance.

Integration of ICTs into the Curriculum of Cameroon Primary and Secondary Schools: A Review of Current Status, Barriers and Proposed Strategies for Effective Integration - Ngajie, Berty Nsolly; Ngo, Mback Marie Charlotte (International Journal of Education and Development using Information and Communication Technology, 2016)
Many sub-Saharan African countries are progressively integrating information and communication technologies (ICTs) into their education systems especially in primary and secondary schools. These efforts that are seen in both private and public schools to bring technologies into the classroom are just starting but are encountering a lot of difficulties. Cameroon, a Sub-Saharan African country, is not an exception to the situation in this group of countries. ICTs were officially introduced in schools in Cameroon since 2001 and since then many initiatives have been carried out but the difficulties supersede the progress. Based on available research, this study focuses on the current status of ICTs in Cameroon primary and secondary schools. It gives a brief description of the country's education system, and reviews major initiatives that have been carried out so far in the integration of ICTs in primary and secondary schools. It further identifies and analyzes some barriers that cause ICT integration into curriculum ineffective. Lastly, it recommends some strategies to overcome the barriers, and guidelines for a contextualized and effective ICT integration.

Integration of security awareness education in technical and vocational education training curriculum: the technical teachers' opinion in Nigeria - Nnajiofor, Francisca N. (2020)
The study investigated opinions of technical teachers on the integration of security education into [technical and vocational education and training] TVET curriculum. Five research questions were raised and one null hypothesis. Descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. A questionnaire structured in five-point rating scale was used as instrument which underwent face validation by three experts and a reliability coefficient of 0.79 was obtained with Cronbach's Alpha method. The population was 116 respondents made of technical teachers in the four Science and Technical Colleges and a Vocational Centre within the study area. Data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions, while z-test statistics was used to test the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The study concludes that technical teachers unanimously agreed upon the inclusion of security education in the TVET curriculum. The findings of this study revealed among others that TVET teachers are not adequately equipped with the knowledge of TVET related security issues in spite the community members' readiness to accept the inclusion of security education in TVET curriculum. The researchers recommended that security education should be included into the TVET curriculum, and there should be close monitoring to ensure conformity to avoid misinterpretation/misuse.

Teaching Practice Anxiety Sources as Correlates of Teaching Performance Among Student Teachers in Federal Colleges of Education in Southwestern Nigeria - Nnenna, Emerole Elizabeth; Olanrewaju, Muraina Kamilu (European Scientific Journal ESJ, 2015)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the teaching practice anxiety sources as correlates of teaching performance among student teachers in federal colleges of education in Southwestern Nigeria. Descriptive research design of ex-post-facto was used in the study. One thousand four hundred and sixteen (1,416) respondents were selected from student teachers in federal colleges of education in Southwestern Nigeria. The respondents were measured with self developed scales and the data obtained was analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) and Multiple Regression Statistical analysis of (SPSS). Three research Questions were raised and answered in the study. The result showed that teaching performance among student teachers was significantly correlated with teaching confidence (r = .783; p<.05), supervision anxiety (r = .613; p<.05), content mastery (r = .801; p<.05), relating with other student teachers (r = .832; p<.05), relating with students (r = .713; p<.05), classroom control (r = .681; p<.05), lesson preparation (r = .913; p<.05) and lesson presentation (r= .837; p<.05), independent variables when pulled together had significant effect on the teaching productivity among secondary school teachers (R (adjusted) =.617 & R2 (adjusted) =.674) and each of the independent variables made significant contribution to the prediction of teaching performance among student teachers in federal colleges of education. In view of these findings, the study stressed and advocated that the staff and the students prior to the period of teaching practice should be prepared for the task ahead with a good frame of mind and school counselors should intensify

Exploring the mismatch between teacher demand-supply in sub-Saharan Africa: Ghana as case study - Ntim, , S. (Mediterranean Center of Social and Educational Research, 2013)
This study presents an analysis of the factors affecting the supply and demand of school teachers in Ghana. The findings suggest that the major pull causing the mismatch in teacher supply-demand equation can be summed up under: a) economic demand, b) demographic factors and c) market forces. Sixty percent of those sampled constituting 162 of the respondents were of the view that there was a significant correlation between remuneration and supply while the other 40% (108) not attributing it to remuneration per se, nevertheless saw a link between supply and other economic issues such as end of service benefit. Ninety five percent of respondents were of the view that teacher upgrading in higher market premium courses in institutions of higher learning exacerbate teacher attrition into other better paid jobs: an indication of non-incentives pulling teachers from the teaching profession. The objective of the study is to contribute to advocacy on teacher issues, especially increased resources as well as innovative funding for the employment of sufficient number of teachers.

Time to Teach: Teacher Attendance and Time on Task in Primary Schools in Mozambique - Nugroho, Dita; Karamperidou, Despina (UNICEF, 2021)
Teacher attendance is one of the prerequisites on the path toward universal learning in developing countries. Over the past decades, however, studies from across the developing world have found national rates of teacher absenteeism that range from 3 to 27 per cent. Therefore, enhancing teachers' presence in the classroom and ensuring that class time is spent teaching, can contribute significantly to the productivity and inclusive prosperity of a country. This Time to Teach study collates and strengthens the evidence base on primary school teacher absenteeism in Mozambique. The study uses a mix of qualitative and quantitative research methods to provide critical insights into the factors that underpin the multiple forms of teacher absenteeism and time on task. It also examines how factors vary across countries, school types, gender of teacher and other teacher characteristics. Despite high levels of teacher absenteeism, the study shows that teachers are generally committed and that what is needed is education system strengthening. It is hoped that findings will inform workable solutions and policies that will ensure a motivated teaching force, increase opportunities for children to learn at school and, ultimately, improve their life and work opportunities.

Action research and the transfer of reflective approaches to in-service education and training (INSET) for unqualified and underqualified primary teachers in Namibia - O’Sullivan, Margo C. (Teaching and Teacher Education, 2002)
The literature on training approaches for both pre-service and in-service teacher training has been dominated since the 1980s by reﬂective approaches. This has undoubtedly inﬂuenced the relatively recent introduction of reﬂective approaches in developing countries. This article explores efforts, within an action research study of a 3-year (1995–1997) In-service Education and Training (INSET) programme, to implement reﬂective approaches in the training of unqualiﬁed and underqualiﬁed primary teachers in Namibia. The study raises ‘transfer’ questions concerning the appropriateness of reﬂective approaches, as conceptualised in western contexts, for these teachers. It led to the adaptation of these approaches and ultimately the development of an approach termed the ‘structured reﬂection’ approach, which was within the professional capability of the teachers to implement at the time of the study. Action research was used to develop this approach. r 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Fostering the Teaching of English Language in Nigeria Primary Schools: the Need for Teachers’ Continuous Professional Development and Training - Obateru, Oluwatoyin Tolu (International Journal on Integrated Education, 2020)
This article highlights how English language teachers professional development and training programmes fosters teachers’ professional competences in the teaching of the subject. English Language is vital in developing communication and social skills in learners as it does empower learners to compete favorably with their peers around the world. The ex-post factor approach of the survey design was adopted in the study. A random sampling technique was used to select twenty primary schools in Oyo state, Nigeria, with 168 English teachers who were currently undergoing the SUBEB/UBEC teacher professional development programme (2018). Two instruments: Teacher Teaching Competence Scale (TTCS) with Cronbach’s Alpha reliability coefficient of 0.68 and the Teachers Checklist Observation Scale (TCOS) with Scott Pi reliability coefficient of 0.71 were used for data collection. The data collection lasted for a period of fourteen weeks. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics and correlation at 0.05 level of significance. Results revealed that teacher’ attendance and exposure to a professional development and training programme; does enhance their professional teaching competences. It is therefore expedient that stakeholders in the education sector; especially governmental agencies, sponsor and encourage practicing primary teachers in attending and participating in professional development programmes; incentives should also be given to these teachers. This will go a long way at ensuring that these teachers look forward to attending such programmes at any time in the future

Towards Positive Behaviours: An Evaluation of a Teachers’ Training on Classroom-based Interventions for Managing Problem Behaviours in Preschoolers in Nigeria - Obiejemba, Ngozi; Adeniyi, Yetunde; Omigbodun, Olayinka (Journal of Education Society and Behavioural Science, 2023)
Aim: This study was a cluster randomized trial, designed to evaluate the effect of a teachers’ training on Classroom-based Interventions for Managing Problem Behaviours in Preschoolers in Nigeria.
Methodology: A total of 110 preschool teachers participated in the study. Fifty-five were randomly assigned to each of the intervention and the wait-list groups. Participants in the intervention group received two training sessions on child behaviour problems and management. Data was collected in 3 phases; baseline, immediate post-intervention and one-month post-intervention.
Results: The proportion of participants in the intervention group who felt frustrated about managing challenging behaviours, reduced significantly (p=0.045) at follow up (14.5%) compared to baseline (32.7%). There was a statistically significant (p<0.001) increase in the proportion of those who documented problem behaviours occurring at school (72.7%) at follow up, compared to baseline (38.2%). Participants in the intervention group reported increased confidence and competence to manage problem behaviours in their classroom settings.
Conclusion: This study showed that training interventions can improve the perception, competence and skills of teachers in managing problem behaviours among preschoolers. It is recommended that preschool teachers receive training that will improve their classroom management of children with problem behaviours, even in low-income settings.

Teachers’ and Students’ Perception of Students’ Rating as a Tool for Evaluating Language Instruction in College of Education, Warri, Nigeria - Obiunu, Esevosa Augustine; MUSA, Rose Jummai; Gbenedio, Uche B. (2021)
This study was designed to investigate teachers’ and students’ perception of students’ rating as a tool for evaluating language instruction in College of Education. It examined the percentage of teachers and students who perceived students’ rating as a tool for evaluating language instruction; it also tested to ascertain the significant differences in the perception of students’ rating as a tool for evaluating teachers’ language instruction. The population of the study comprised all the fourteen (14) lecturers and all the two hundred and twenty one (221) Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) students of the English Department, College of Education, Warri in the 2015/2016 academic session. The manageable size of the population informed the researchers’ choice of purposively using the entire population as the sample for the study. Two research questions were answered and three research hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Two instruments titled Teachers’ Perception of Students’ Rating (TPSR) with a reliability coefficient of 0.68 and Students’ Perception of Students’ Rating (SPSR) with a reliability coefficient of 0.87 were used to gather data for the study. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The result of the study showed that there is no significant difference in the perception of NCE students on students’ rating as a tool for evaluating teachers’ instruction but data analysis revealed a significant difference in the perception of NCE students of different academic levels on students’ rating as a tool for evaluating teachers’ instruction. Furthermore, there is no significant difference in the perception of teachers of different academic qualifications and years of teaching experience on students’ rating as a tool for evaluating teachers’ instruction. It was concluded that students’ rating of teachers’ instruction should be adopted for quality education and academic excellence instead of the use of publications, paper presentation at conferences and workshops attendance for annual performance evaluation for teachers in College Education, Warri and similar institutions.

The Effects of Training on Pre-school Teachers Practices in Oyo State, Nigeria - Oduolowu, Esther; Oyesomi, Fatimah Ayodele (International Journal of Learning and Development, 2012)
The survey of daycare and nursery schools in Nigeria conducted by National Commission for Colleges of Education in 2004 revealed that teachers are not trained for this level of education and most early years programmes are managed by people who have never been in the classroom. Because of this, Federation of Muslim Women’s Associations in Nigeria (FOMWAN), organized series of training for teachers of pre-schools to improve their quality on child development curriculum interpretation, teaching method and evaluation techniques. This study therefore investigated the teaching practices of those preschool teachers exposed to the training in Ibarapa East Local Government Area of Oyo State. It adopted the descriptive survey research design. Thirty two pre-school teachers participated in the study. Two instruments titled “Pre-school Teachers Teaching Practices Questionnaire” (PTTPQ) and “Pre-school Teachers Observation Schedule” (PTOS) were used to gather relevant data. Findings of the study revealed the pre-school teachers used teacher-centred method of teaching with few materials provided. It was also revealed that the pre-school teachers used the new curriculum but did not encourage hands-on activities in learning the content of the curriculum. Among others, it was recommended that trained pre-school teachers should be recruited to teach in the pre-schools and workshops should be organized to train and re-train those on the job regularly on pedagogy.

The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of an improvised furnace on students’ performance in heat treatment in technical colleges in Rivers State. The study adopted research and development incorporating quasi-experimental design. It involved the use of control group, pre-test – post test design. The population of 194 students from four technical colleges in Rivers State was used for the study. The instrument for data collection was made up of Heat Treatment Achievement Test (HTAT) developed by the researchers. The achievement test consists of 50-multiple choice items with four options of A-D. The test items were identified and selected from the content of (NABTEB) syllabus on metal work technology. Test re-test method was used to establish the reliability of the instrument; the tests yielded 0.70, 073 and 0.72, 0.74 for the first and second tests respectively. Four experts in metal work technology were involved in both face and content validity of the instrument. The results obtained from the test scores were compiled and analyzed using statistical tools such as; percentage, mean, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) in answering the research question and testing the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. Improvised furnace had positive effects on students’ performance in heat treatment with a mean gain of 4.61. The difference in performance between those taught using improvised furnace and those taught using conventional teaching aids was found to be significant at 0.05 levels of significance. Based on the findings of the study, the researcher recommended that government, technical college principals and the different agencies should provide fund to procure the materials and component for designing and constructing furnace by the teacher for teaching heat treatment in technical colleges in Rivers State. Also, constant power supply, generators, accumulators, anvil, steel vessel, pipes and electric blower should be provided and distributed by the ministry of education to the technical colleges for construction of furnace for effective teaching of in Rivers State. The industries, government, nongovernmental agencies and private enterprises and communities should provide components, consumable materials necessary for teaching heat treatment and supply the materials directly to the individual technical colleges in Rivers State.

The Context of Training Teachers to Implement a Socially Relevant Science Education in Africa - Ogunniyi, Meshach B. (African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2011)
The underlying assumption to this paper is that learners' ability to appreciate the relevance of school science and its importance to socio-economic development of their communities to a large extent depends on the quality of instruction they receive from their teachers. A popular conundrum is that no country is greater than the calibre of its teachers. However, a sort of Mathew's principle of the "haves" having more and the "have-nots" losing even what they do have tends to hold. Hence, learners of well-trained teachers tend to outperform those of poorly trained teachers on most tasks. A vivid example here in South Africa is the usual wide chasm between the matriculation results of learners from the former well-resourced Model C schools and those (with few exceptions due to massive support) from the previously disadvantaged schools. In pursuit of relevance many African political leaders and policy makers have called on teacher training institutions to produce teachers who are capable of making school science relevant to learners' home environment. This paper reports an attempt that has been made to equip teachers in such a way that makes science accessible, interesting and complementary to learners' indigenous knowledge and life worlds in general.

Inclusion of pupils with intellectual disabilities: primary school teachers' attitudes and willingness in a rural area in Uganda - Ojok, Patrick; Wormnæs, Siri (International Journal of Inclusive Education, 2013)
Teachers in regular schools have a responsibility to accommodate the needs and interests of all learners. The attitudes and willingness of teachers to include learners with intellectual disabilities in their classes in regular schools in a district with a semi-nomadic pastoral population in north-eastern Uganda was investigated. A survey of 125 school teachers was conducted, using an attitude scale and a willingness sub-scale. The results showed slightly more positive than negative attitudes, and more willingness than unwillingness to teach learners with intellectual disabilities. Attendance of workshops and seminars had a positive impact on teacher attitudes and willingness towards inclusive education. The findings are discussed with reference to historical–cultural characteristics of the district, as well as pupil and teacher characteristics.

Effectiveness of Two Modes of Distance Learning on Nigerian College Teachers’ Meaningful Understanding of Chemistry Concepts - Okafor, Ngozi (Journal of Education and Practice, 2013)
This study has assessed meaningful understanding of chemistry concepts by College teachers using Live and Video Modes of distance Learning. It has examined if gender could influence college teachers understanding of chemistry concepts meaningfully. It was a quasi-experimental study with a sample size of Ninety-Four (94) college teachers drawn from Forty-Seven (47) State Colleges of Education in Nigeria. The instrument used for data collection was a Multiple-choice Objective Chemistry Test (MOCT). Data was analyzed using t-test based on the standard alpha level of p<0.05 and simple percentages. The findings showed that the live mode was more effective than the video mode such that, teachers in the interactive television that used personal cell phones (GSM technology) on the live mode of distance learning performed better on MOCT than those in the video mode. A significant gender influence was observed such that males in the live mode out-performed the females on the live mode and video mode in the MOCT respectively. The study therefore has recommended that college teachers who are not biased in chemistry and females in particular should strive for excellence in attending live mode distance learning programmes with adequate commitment. This would promote meaningful understanding of some perceived difficult Chemistry concepts and thus enhance quality lesson delivery for performance improvement in chemistry. It concludes that adequate incentives and flexibility on the use of live-mode distance learning could help in building up a desired collaborative professional network especially for those college teachers who are not chemistry specialists and ultimately could improve the teaching of chemistry meaningfully in Nigeria Colleges of education. Keywords: College Teachers, Chemistry Concepts, Live and Video Modes of Distance Learning.

Perception of Adult Chemistry Teachers' on Re-Training Through Open and Distance Learning in Nigeria - Okafor, Ngozi; Anyikwa, E.B (2013)
The study examined the level of perception of adult chemistry teachers on re-training through Open and Distance Learning (ODL) programme in Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The population of the study covered all Adult chemistry teachers in National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN). Five research hypothesis were formulated to guide the study. The sample covered 300 adult chemistry teachers selected through purposive random sampling. The research instrument for the study was a questionnaire designed by the researchers. The reliability coefficient of the instrument was determined using Cronbach alpha and this yielded index of r=0.73. Data was analysed using percentage, mean and standard deviation while all hypothesis were tested at 0.05 significant levels. The findings revealed a significant difference in the perception (Positive and Negative) of adults chemistry teachers in their retraining programme through ODL. Also the study showed that there is a positive significant relationship between the perception of adult chemistry teachers and their interest in the program. The study also revealed that positive perception of effectiveness of the programme to a large extent influenced the interest of adult chemistry teachers in the programme. Furthermore, the study revealed that there is a significant influence of adult chemistry teachers’ involvement in the retraining through ODL for their professional development. Finally, the study showed a significant gender difference in the perception of adult chemistry teachers on the programme. Based on the findings, it was recommended among other thing, that Institutional base Chemistry teachers’ development (IBCTD) approach for continuing professional development of Adult chemistry teachers at the senior secondary school level should be adopted to give teachers access to retraining.. To achieve this, ODL institutions should create a department to handle and organise such training and retraining programme according to their capacity and competency for more efficiency

Towards in-service training needs of secondary school agriculture teachers in a paradigm shift to outcome-based education in Uganda - Okiror, J.J.; Hayward, Geoff; Winterbottom, M (The Journal of Agricultural Education and Extension, 2017)
This paper examines the in-service teacher training needs of secondary school agriculture teachers in Uganda as the country moves towards an ‘outcome-based’ education by removal of subjects and instead, uses learning areas, presenting a need for new pedagogical skills among teachers. Design/methodology/approach: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Uganda between June and September 2016 to assess the teaching methods and teacher training needs for secondary school agriculture curriculum. Data were collected from 80 agriculture teachers and 57 administrators from 60 secondary schools, randomly drawn from 25 districts in Uganda. The data were analysed with descriptive statistics. Findings: The findings show that there about 10 key competences required by the teachers to thrive in their profession. These range from traditional classroom teaching to community outreach and linkages with agribusinesses which is in tandem with outcome-based education beyond the classroom walls. Respondents highlight lack of practical agriculture skills and exposure to the modern farming practices. Theoretical implications: This paper examines role of formal in-service teacher training based on theory of change and proposes using professional learning communities for school-level improvements. Practical implication: The results were not significant enough to warrant strong recommendations. However, they suffice to highlight a growing need for in-service teacher support mechanism for a dynamic subject like agriculture using communities of practice at school and district levels. Originality/value: In the current context of growing concern for unemployment in Africa, secondary schools will require competent teachers to engage students into transferable learning, given that it is the terminal level of education for majority. © 2017 Wageningen University.

The Abolishment of Teachers⿿ Training Colleges and its Implications on ELT in Nigeria - Okpe, Agnes Ada; Onjewu, Martha Ada (Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2016)
ELT like any other venture is confronted with diverse challenges globally. Effective training of personnel is the bedrock for success in any endeavour. Where there is dearth of trained hands, effective teaching of English, especially as a second language, can be grossly inhibited. This study is based on empirical data from interviews conducted among about 100 ESL teachers/educators who were randomly selected. The paper chronically explicates the conscientious training of teachers in Teachers⿿ Colleges before the segment was abolished as against the current practice. The aim of the study therefore, is to show the difference between the performance of trained ESL teachers and those that are not; and the outcome of their performance. The research reveals a general decline in students⿿ performance after the abolishment of teachers⿿ colleges. The analysis among other things, shows that teachers who went through teachers⿿ training colleges are better equipped and produce better students, show more commitment to duty, deliberately chose teaching English as a career, more innovative at teaching, more keen on personal development, and above all, more sensitive to learners⿿ needs and more apt at providing solutions to those problems. Based on these findings, the paper recommends that for ESL to be effective in any region, the teachers must be consciously trained from the onset. Also, to tackle poor performance in English Language, those currently handling the course must be trained.

Availability, Access and Utilization of E-Resources among Pre-Service Teacher Trainees by Distance - Olaniran, Sunday O.; Duma, M. A. N.; Nzima, D. R.; Kumar, V; Murthy, S; Kinshuk (IEEE 8TH International Conference on Technology for Education, 2016)
The study investigated accessibility to and utilization of electronic resources among pre-service teachers in the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN). Survey research design was used to carry out the study. Two hundred and thirty eighty (238) undergraduate students studying to obtain Bachelor of Education (B. Ed.) by distance were purposively sampled from Ibadan Study Centre of the institution. The results from the survey revealed that electronic resources in different forms like radio broadcast, e-journals, e-books, and CD-ROM, among others, are available and accessible to the pre-service teacher trainees by distance. However, limited internet connectivity and inadequate access to electricity were shown as major factors constraining most of the participants from accessing and utilizing the available electronic resources. The study recommends for the distance learning providers in developing nations to partner with telecommunication firms and internet service providers with a view to providing constant and affordable internet services to their learners, especially those that are studying to become classroom teachers.

A study of clinical teachers’ attitude to teaching and perceived learning needs in a medical college in Nigeria - Olasoji, H O; Mu'azu, Ahmad Bilyamini; Garba, Mairo Hassan (Advances in Medical Education and Practice, 2019)
Debates on medical educational reform initiatives in Nigeria have gradually shifted from access to medical colleges to improving learning quality. Understandably, clinical teachers are being encouraged to acquire basic teaching pedagogical knowledge through learning activities. Considering the fact that the concept of faculty development for medical teachers' is still evolving in Sub-Saharan Africa, this study aims to explore clinical teachers' attitude to teaching and perceptions of continuing education in teaching knowledge and skills in a medical college in Nigeria.Using a mixed-method research approach, quantitative data were collected from a sample of teachers through survey questionnaires, and qualitative data were obtained through face-to-face individual semi-structured interviews of teachers from the same institution.Sixty-one survey questionnaires (response rate of 88%) and 10 interviews were completed and analyzed. Findings revealed that teachers' derived satisfaction from teaching and maintain a strong commitment to teaching. Bedside teachings (64%) and lectures (21%) were reported to be the most frequent mode of teaching. Although four out of every five respondents (80%) reported not having previous training in teaching, a large proportion (97%) self-assessed their teaching abilities to be average or above average, with most indicating that the experience of teaching observed during undergraduate medical training may be sufficient preparation for their teaching roles. The majority of the teachers' were of the opinion that there is a need to improve their individual teaching skill. However, in the absence of formal faculty development programs in the college, most of the teachers indicated that their teaching skills are currently being improved through sporadic informal community of practice involving interested colleagues and modeling identified good teachers.A catalyst of learning by teachers' may come from their belief and self-rating of teaching ability. In this under-resourced context, explicit classifications of existing informal learning opportunities coupled with greater institutional support could improve teaching and teachers' development.

Education and Training as a Tools for Sustainable Development among Secondary School Teachers in Southwest Nigeria - Olorunda, Sola Elijah (Indonesian Journal of Contemporary Education, 2022)
The educational methodologies that might be used to manage education and in-service training among secondary school teachers in southwest Nigeria were mentioned in the paper. The degree of in-service training and academic qualifications of secondary school teachers in Southwest Nigeria were investigated, as well as male and female teachers' impressions of in-service training and re-training by the government. The study employed survey-style descriptive research. In southwest Nigeria, the population was made up entirely of teachers. The study's sample included 200 teachers who were chosen using a multistage sampling approach that included both simple random sampling and stratified random sampling techniques. The study found that secondary school teachers in southwest Nigeria have a low level of in-service training and a high level of academic qualifications and that there is no significant difference in perceptions of in-service training and academic qualifications between male and female secondary school teachers in southwest Nigeria. It was suggested that the government step up their efforts to organize in-service training for secondary school teachers, such as conferences, seminars, and workshops, in order to impart the necessary knowledge to students in order to achieve sustainable development goals. Additionally, necessary types of machinery should be put in place to improve the performance of the ministry of education and local education authorities in order to upgrade teachers and enhance their performance. In conclusion, there is a lack of teacher training and retraining in southwest Nigeria, as well as a high level of academic qualifications among secondary school teachers.

Teachers’ Professional Development and Instructional Supervision as Contributory Factor to Job Performance in Ogun State Secondary Schools, Nigeria - Oluwakemi, Agbajeola R.; A, Hassan Olusola. (Journal of Education in Black Sea Region, 2023)
Evident complacency of teachers as indicated by absenteeism, poor student grade return, poor record keeping, and laziness at work among others are clear indicting evidence that teachers’ job performances call for questioning. The purpose of the study is to investigate the contribution of professional development and instructional supervision to teachers’ job performance in Ogun State secondary schools. The study adopted descriptive survey research. The population comprised of teachers in Ogun state public secondary schools with 208 samples selected through a multi-stage sampling technique. Three adopted questionnaires (Instructional supervision scale, 0.88; Teachers Professional Development scale, 0.82; job performance scale, 0.74) were revalidated and used for data collection. Data collected were analyzed using simple percentage and multiple regression analysis (MRA). Findings show that there is a significant relationship among the variables of the study (professional development and instructional supervision, r = 262, P < 0.05; professional development and job performance, r = .182, P < 0.05; job performance and instructional supervision r = 078, P < 0.05). It also shows that professional development and instructional supervision have a significant contribution to teachers’ job performance in Ogun state secondary schools (F = 1.550, p < 0.05). It also shows a significant contribution of professional development to teachers’ job performance (F (1,205) = 1.257, P < 0.05) while instructional supervision also contributed significantly to teachers’ job performance (F(1,205) = 1.257, P < 0.05). It is concluded that teachers will continue to improve their job performance once they are given the right training and are well-supervised. The study recommends that adequate and timely training should be provided to teachers based on their needs to enhance their job performance.

Assessment of ICT Skills Application of Teacher Educators in Kwara State Colleges of Education, Nigeria - Oluwatoyin, Fashiku Christopher; Abiola, Yusuf Abubakar; Francis, Olowo Busuyi; Baba, Ayoku Oba; Comfort, Fashiku Bunmi (Innovare Journal of Education, 2022)
The study was carried out to assess the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) skills application of teacher educators in Kwara State Colleges of Education, Nigeria. The descriptive survey research design was adopted; the population of the study comprised 430 lecturers from Kwara State Colleges of Education Oro, Lafiagi, and Ilorin, respectively. A proportional sampling technique was used to select 160 respondents from the two teacher educator institutions. A simple random sampling technique was used in selecting 60 respondents from Oro College of Education and 100 respondents from Kwara State College of Education Ilorin. One self-designed questionnaire titled ‘Assessment of ICT Competency Skills of Lecturers’ (AICTCSL) with four points Liker scale was used to elicit information from the respondents. The instrument was validated. Its reliability was ensured at .78. Total Average Weighted Response (TAWR), and percentage and frequency counts were used in analyzing the collected data for the raised research questions at .05 levels of significance, while z-test statistics were used in addressing the formulated hypotheses. It was discovered in the study that lecturers in the used institutions were competent in manipulating the computer keyboard and connecting to the internet but were not competent in accessing the information on CD, organizing electronic files into folders, use of application software, use of PowerPoint, word excel and blog website. Also, no significant difference was established between the mean scores of lecturers in Kwara State Colleges of education Oro and Ilorin on their ICT skills acquisition and use, while there was a significant difference in the mean ratings of teacher educators from Oro and Ilorin on their use of application software competency. It was therefore recommended that government should make it a matter of policy that all lecturers in the institutions are ICT literate and it should be a prerequisite for their promotion and recruitment for a lecturing job in the state.

Teachers' perception of humor and laughter as pedagogical tools for promoting learning in Kogi State College of Education, Ankpa, Nigeria - Omede, Jacob; Daku, Noah Jimba (Journal of Emerging Trends in Educational Research and Policy Studies, 2013)
This paper examined the knowledge of teachers of Kogi State College of Education, Ankpa, about the pedagogical relevance of humor and laughter in view of their consequentiality to teaching and learning and how they could be used to encourage classroom attendance for learners' who misunderstand academic freedom to be truancy, absenteeism and lateness to classes. Areas of close examinations were the educational relevance of humor and laughter and how they could impact on learning, the various types of humor available to the teacher for use, the forms that humor could take to make it effective and possible hindrances to effective use of humor in achieving desired goals. Five research questions were drawn from the five purposes established for the study. The data for the study were collected from 120 teachers in the college through accidental sampling procedure using 42 item designed questionnaires by the researchers. The questionnaires were of a four-point likert type. The acceptable mean score was 2.50, meaning that any item with a mean score of 2.50 and above is accepted as positive while scores below 2.50, were termed negative and rejected. The data were analyzed using tables, means and standard deviations.

In-Service Training Needs in an African Context: A Study of Headteacher and Teacher Perspectives in the Gucha District of Kenya - Onderi, Henry; Croll, Paul (Journal of in‐service education, 2008)
Improving the quality of teaching is an educational priority in Kenya, as in many developing countries. The present paper considers various aspects on in-service education, including views on the effectiveness of in-service, teacher and headteacher priorities in determining in-service needs and the constraints on providing in-service courses. These issues are examined though an empirical study of 30 secondary headteachers and 109 teachers in a district of Kenya. The results show a strong felt need for in-service provision together with a firm belief in the efficacy of in-service in raising pupil achievement. Headteachers had a stronger belief in the need for in-service for their teachers than did the teachers themselves. The priorities of both headteachers and teachers were dominated by the external pressures of the schools, in particular the pressures for curriculum innovation and examination success. The resource constraints on supporting attendance at in-service courses were the major problems facing headteachers. The results reflect the difficulties that responding to an externally driven in-service agenda creates in a context of scarce resources. (Contains 6 tables.)

JiFUNzeni: a blended learning approach for sustainable teachers' professional development - Onguko, Brown Bully (The Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2014)
JiFUNzeni blended learning approach is a sustainable approach to provision of professional development (PD) for those in challenging educational contexts. JiFUNzeni approach emphasizes training regional experts to create blended learning content, working with appropriate technology while building content repositories. JiFUNzeni approach was field tested though a design-based research intervention conducted in rural western Kenya. The field test included design, development and implementation of a blended learning course for teachers' professional development utilizing appropriate technologies including tablets powered by solar energy, open educational resources and open source software. One year after the intervention, there were follow-up interviews conducted with eight of the ten teachers and two PDTs who participated in the research. The findings from the follow-up interviews shared in this paper revealed that: teachers still used cooperative learning and activity-based learning strategies in their teaching. The PDTs on the other hand designed, developed and implemented one other jiFUNzeni blended learning course for twelve teachers in one school in Korogocho in Nairobi city. Implementation by PDTs of jiFUNzeni approach confirmed that they had learned through a sustainable way of delivering professional development in challenging educational contexts. The PDTs utilized the instructional design approaches learned through their participation in the research in designing blended learning content, while they also innovated new ways of developing self-study content as an important creative addition to what they had previously learned. Two teenage children participated in digital content development by advising the PDTs on more efficient ways of applying technology attesting to the fact that digital natives are important reciprocal supporters to digital immigrants and vice versa.

Teachers’ Attitude towards Teaching of Sexuality Education in Federal Government Colleges in Nigeria - Implications for Counselling - Onoyase, Anna (Higher Education Studies, 2018)
The study investigated the attitude of teachers towards the teaching of sexuality education in federal government colleges in Nigeria. In order to carry out the investigation, three hypotheses were formulated. An instrument known as “teachers’ attitude towards teaching of sexuality education” (TATTOSE), was used to obtain information from the respondents. The instrument had a reliability coefficient of 0.79. It also had language appropriateness, content and facial validity. Four research assistants were used to administer 580 copies of the questionnaire to the respondents. Five hundred and twenty eight copies were retrieved showing 91.03 percent return rate. The data collected from the field were analyzed using t-test statistics. The research found out that there was no significant difference in the attitude of male and female teachers towards the teaching of sexuality education, that there was significant difference in the attitude of less experienced and experienced teachers towards the teaching of sexuality education. Finally, the study also revealed that there was no significant difference in the attitude of married and unmarried teachers towards teaching of sexuality education in Nigeria. One of the recommendations is that a curriculum of sexuality education should be drawn up for secondary schools.

The Impact of Microteaching in Developing Teaching Skills among Pre-Service Teachers in Alvan Ikoku College of Education Owerri, Nigeria - Onwuagboke, Bede Blaise Chukwunyere; Osuala, Rita Chigozie; Nzeako, Rowland Chibuike (African Research Review, 2017)
Teaching skills are necessary tools teachers should possess for effectiveness in their job. Teaching the teacher candidates these skills is not simple hence the need for a microteaching environment which enables pre-service teachers to acquire them under controlled laboratory setting. This study was an extension of current NCE microteaching programme run by Alvan Ikoku College of Education for the B.Ed student teachers in order to determine its impact on their acquisition of the requisite teaching skills. A sample of 90 student teachers was purposively drawn from the second-year degree students in the college who were preparing to embark on the teaching practice programme in the 2016 teaching practice programme. The study involved a pre-test and a post-test of the students using a microteaching skills rating scale (MSRS) developed by the researchers. Data collected was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study revealed that the microteaching interventions improved the teaching skills significantly with significant differences between the three intervention groups. The group that received microteaching treatment with video recording performed better than the other groups while gender had no significant effect on their mean scores. The result has far reaching implication on the need for a well-equipped microteaching laboratory for microteaching programmes in teacher education institutions.Key Words: Impact; microteaching; teaching skills; pre-service teachers
