Pre-Service Teachers’ Internet Usage a Function of Demographic Factors: The Case of a Nigerian College of Education - Onwuagboke, Bede Blaise Chukwunyere; Singh, Termit Kaur Ranjit; Fong, Soon Fook (Journal of Education and Learning (EduLearn), 2014)
With the overreaching acceptance of ICT in education and access to Internet occasioned by advancement in technology, this paper investigates pre-service teachers’ use of Internet in a college of education. The study was a descriptive survey. Data was collected using a researcher designed instrument tagged “Student Internet Use Scale” (SIUS). The population comprised of all NCE pre-service teachers in Alvan Ikoku Federal College of Education Owerri Nigeria. Findings show that mobile phones remains the most widely used mode of internet access with social networking, searching for information on school assignments, chatting forming the major reasons why they surf the net. Social networking is the major purpose for Internet use by female pre-service teachers while school related activities are of priority to males. The difference in purpose of internet use according to gender is however not statistically significant; similarly, there is no statically significant difference between male and female pre-service teachers in the frequency of Internet usage. The result has far reaching implication for provision and use of Internet facilities to enhance teaching and learning in the College and colleges of education in Nigeria.

Influence of Sustainable Skills-Training on Educational Management-University-Teachers’ Technological Competences in Nigeria - Onwudinjo, Oluchi Queen; Chukwu, Chukwuemeka Joseph; Ezepue, Evelyn Ijeoma; Uwakwe, Iro Stephen; Okereke, Nkemakolam Athanasius (Journal of Emerging Technologies and Innovative Research, 2021)
The experimental survey study focused on: (1) To examine the mean difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the educational management university-teachers exposed to sustainable skills training and those who were not exposed to it in the selected Nigerian Federal universities. (2) To examine the mean difference between the performance scores of educational management teachers exposed to sustainable skills training and those who were not exposed to the training in the selected Nigerian Federal universities. Two research questions and two null hypotheses were asked and formulated as guides. Area was 5 Nigerian first generation-federal universities. Population comprised educational management teachers = 145 Teachers. The entire population was used. A sample of 25 teachers from University of Benin was used. The sample group was divided into two-unequal groups (‘A’- Experimental groups and ‘B’- Control group). Two research assistants and two trainers (professional teachers) were hired and paid at the end of the study. The trainers focused on sustainable skills with technological competences during the training exercises that lasted for three weeks (one week was for two of the universities studied). Test–retest method was used for group ‘A’ and ‘B’. The performances of each of the groups were uniquely tagged, numbered, collected and collated for analyses with high consciousness to avoid bias and inconsistency. With the help of the research assistants and trainers, all the relevant data were collected and collated for analyses. The data were analyzed using t-tests, One-Way ANOVA and Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The results showed positive-significant differences between the two mean scores as t=11.0 and t=3.518 with F= .026 and F = 1.119 respectively at an alpha level of P < 0.05. However, the study results were: t=14.595 and t=9.629 with F=.339 and F=11.737 respectively. The researchers concluded that the university teachers needed to be trained in sustainable skills which must be supported by the government. Finally, they recommended that the university management should establish a monitoring committee to ensure that the tasks are dully performed for goals actualization.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Theoretical Knowledge Retention of Some Nigerian Teachers 15 Months after Initial Training - Onyeaso, Adedamola Olutoyin; Onyeaso, Chukwudi Ochi (Public Health Research, 2018)
Introduction: For effective bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to be achievable, potential bystander CPR providers must be able to retain sufficient CPR knowledge for a reasonable time frame after training. This study aimed at ascertaining the retained CPR theoretical knowledge of some Nigerian teachers after 15 months of CPR training. Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental study design was used. From the initial cohort of forty one (41) teachers, thirty one (31) of them participated in the last phase of the study. The same self-administered questionnaire with seven (7) questions on their theoretical CPR knowledge, used initially immediately after their CPR training in 2016 to assess them was used again in December 2017 without further training. The data was analysed using both descriptive and paired samples t-test statistics. Results: Generally, the participants had good retention of the CPR theoretical knowledge that were not statistically significantly different from their post-training knowledge earlier (P > 0.05) except in two questions where the differences (CPR knowledge losses) were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusions/ Recommendations: The Nigerian teachers retained satisfactory CPR theoretical knowledge after 15 months of initial training, which holds promise for their ability to provide bystander CPR for victims of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) and the training of their students with the possible incorporation of CPR programme into Nigerian schools’ curricula. There is need to repeat the study with larger sample sizes.

Enhancing the Quality of Secondary Education Through Professional Development of Teachers in Nigeria - Onyekwelu, Raphael Azubuike (British Journal of Multidisciplinary and Advanced Studies, 2024)
The study investigated how to enhance the quality of secondary education through professional development of teachers in Nigeria. Two research questions guided the study and one hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance. The descriptive survey research design guided the study. The population of the study comprised 5396 (5,133 teachers and 263 principals) in 263 public secondary schools in six Education Zones in Anambra State. A total of 579 respondents (513 teachers and 66 principals) were drawn through proportionate stratified and simple random sampling technique for the study. Two validated structured questionnaires were used as a instrument for data collection. The application of Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient yielded coefficient values of 0.81 for teachers’ professional development and 0.77 for quality in secondary education for the two instruments respectively with an overall coefficient value of 0.79 for internal consistency of the instrument. Mean, standard deviations and t-test were used for data analysis. The findings of the study revealed that engaging secondary school teachers in ongoing training workshops target at improving subject knowledge; establishing mentorship programmes for experienced and less experienced teachers so as to provide guidance and providing teachers with adequate time to study new techniques to improve their practice are TPD strategies for enhancing the quality of secondary education in Nigeria. The findings also show that dysfunctional school cultures, poor leadership commitment towards providing quality in secondary education, poor funding and lack of a shared vision about what high-quality instruction entails are some of the obstacles to professional development of teachers. Further findings revealed that teachers’ professional development significantly enhances the quality of secondary education in Nigeria. The researchers therefore recommended among others that Government at all levels through the ministries of education should draw up a policy framework for teachers’ professional development in secondary schools in Nigeria.

Lifelong learning, lifelong education and adult education in higher institutions of learning in Eastern Africa: The case of Makerere University Institute of Adult and Continuing Education - Openjuru, , G.L. (International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2011)
This paper advocates for policy recognition of lifelong learning by institutions of higher learning and governments in Eastern Africa. Lifelong learning and lifelong education are two concepts that aim at widening access to and the participation of adult learners in the acquisition of new knowledge, skills, values and attitudes. There are many reasons for advocating for lifelong learning and education in higher institutions of learning in Eastern Africa. Firstly, the demand for higher education in Eastern Africa has increased phenomenally. Secondly, the need to cope with this fast-changing world calls for a continuous acquisition of new knowledge, skills and attitude. This paper looks at the concepts of lifelong learning (LLL) and lifelong education (LLE) in relation to the changes that are affecting the provision of universitybased learning opportunities for non-traditional students in Eastern Africa, with examples from Makerere University Institute of Adult and Continuing Education in Uganda. In looking at the concepts of LLL and LLE, other concepts of lifewide learning and the learning society are also discussed. Adult learning and adult education are discussed as concepts that are used by adult educators in Eastern Africa with very limited understanding of what they really mean. The confusion in the use of these emerging and popular concepts in Eastern Africa is discussed. The paper presents some recommendations for higher institutions of learning in Eastern Africa to develop a clear understanding of and embrace lifelong learning. © 2011 Taylor & Francis.

Teachers’ Perceptions of Open Educational Resources: The Case of Open Resources for English Language Teaching (ORELT) in Kenya - Orwenjo, Daniel Ochieng; Erastus, Fridah Kanana (Journal of Learning for Development, 2021)
The use of Open Educational Resources (OERs) in the teaching and learning of various subjects is a relatively new innovation in the Kenyan school system. With the advent and subsequent liberalization of ICT, material developers are subsequently shifting away from the traditional modes of material development in the form of textbooks and other “canonical” formats which require the teacher to use them as they are handed down without any input or modification. The Open Resources for English Language Teaching (ORELT) is one such educational innovation. This paper reports the findings of a baseline survey conducted in Kenya with a view to finding out the views and perceptions of Kenyan Junior Secondary School Teachers with regard to the adoption of open resources for the teaching of English language in Kenyan secondary schools. Sixty (60) JSS teachers of English from rural and urban schools and of mixed gender were invited for a four day ORELT in-service induction workshop at the Kenyatta University Conference Centre. The teachers were then given ORELT materials in form of CDs and textbooks for use in teaching English in their schools. They were also registered on the online ORELT platform and each given log in credentials to enable them access freely access the materials and freely interact with fellow teachers throughout the commonwealth. The study reports that whereas teachers are ready to embrace the use of open resources, they have varying perceptions on the suitability and potential efficacy of open resources in Kenyan classrooms. It also emerges that such differing perceptions are constrained by institutional, cultural, pedagogical and personal factors. Accordingly, the study recommends a more structured, inclusive bottoms up approach to any educational innovation as a means of ensuring success.

The Impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on Teacher Education and its Implication for Professional Development in Nigeria - Osakwe, Regina N. (International Journal of Learning and Development, 2013)
This study was designed to investigate the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on teacher education programme and professional development in Nigeria. The population comprised 825 lecturers of colleges of education. The sample of 206 lecturers were randomly selected using stratified sampling technique. Four research questions and four hypotheses were raised and tested at alpha level of 0.05 significance using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Statistics. Results of the research questions revealed that there is a relationship between ICT and research, effective student learning, access to information materials for teaching and professional development. This was because the mean ratings of lecturers responses were above 2.50 decision rule. The results of the hypotheses revealed that there is a significant relationship between ICT and lesson presentation, access to information on teaching materials, students’ effective learning and professional development. It was therefore recommended that government should provide adequate ICT accessories and infrastructures in all colleges of education, fund and proper electricity. Refresher courses should also be organized for teacher trainers and trainees on the operation and usage of ICT.

Emotional Intelligence and Interpersonal skills Training as strategies for Fostering Psychological sense of Community among Teachers in Ogun State, Nigeria. - Oscar, Yomi Akindele; Adesoye, Emmanuel; Adesina, Sekinat; Adariku, Edith Yengura (KIU Journal of Humanities, 2020)
The more psychological sense of community a group of teachers achieves, the better surrounding for personal learning of students and effective cooperation amongst colleagues. Yet a lot of teachers still manifest low Psychological sense of community with attendant consequences of devolving relationships, conflict with significant others in the school, poor delivery of teaching to the student, and low sense of belonging to the school. This study examined the effects of emotional intelligence (EI) and Interpersonal skills (IS) training on teachers’ Psychological sense of community. The study adopted a pretest, posttest, control group quasi-experimental design with a 3x3x2 factorial matrix. One hundred and twenty-six secondary school teachers were randomly selected and randomly assigned to two treatment groups and a control group. Collective Teacher Efficacy instrument was used to put participants into groups while the Sense of Community Index-2 was used to collect pretest and posttest data. Findings revealed that the two treatment interventions have significant main effect on teachers’ Psychological sense of community. It also revealed a no three-way interaction effects of treatment, collective efficacy and gender. It was concluded that secondary school teachers who demonstrate low Psychological sense of community could be assisted to develop better attitudes to school activities and improved sense of belongings to the school through emotional intelligence and Interpersonal skills training programmes.

Utilization of E-Learning Facilities by Science Teacher Educators for Teaching Pre-Service Teachers in Nigerian Colleges of Education - Osuafor, Abigail M.; Emeji, Emmanuel O. (Asian Journal of Education and e-Learning, 2015)
E-learning facilities are necessary to meet the challenges of the contemporary world education competitiveness in scientific and technological advancement. This study investigated the availability and utilization of e-learning facilities by science teacher educators in teaching pre-service teachers in South-East Nigerian Colleges of Education. One hundred and sixty-seven (167) science teacher educators participated in the study. A researcher-developed fifty five-item questionnaire with reliability co-efficient of 0.87 was used to collect data. Four research questions guided the conduct of the study. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. Results show that some of the listed e-learning facilities were available for teaching science in Nigerian Colleges of Education to a high extent. Some of these include computer, printer, computer laboratory and public address system. On the average however, most e-learning facilities were available to a moderate extent. Results also revealed that science teacher educators use e-learning facilities to a moderate extent. High cost of computer units, lack of prior knowledge on the part of the students on usage of computers, low browsing speed resulting to wastage of payer’s money and unavailability of some e-learning facilities due to poor funding are some of the factors that contribute to poor usage of e-learning facilities. The researchers recommended (among others) that schools should be provided with e-teaching and e-learning facilities and science teacher educators should undergo regular in-service training and re-training programs.

This study examined the effectiveness of peer-collaboration learning strategy and 21st century skill knowledge on pre-service teachers’ academic achievement in integrated science in Nigerian colleges of education. This research employed non-equivalent group pre-test-post-test quasi experimental design. The sample for this study was 80 integrated science pre-service teachers from two colleges of education selected for the study. The instrument used for data collection was Integrated Science Achievement Test (ISAT). One research question and two null hypothesis were formulated were designed to guide the study. Descriptive statistics of means and standard deviation were used to answer all the research questions. The results of the study showed that, peer collaboration learning strategy enhanced 21st century skills pre-service teachers’ and performance in Integrated Science better than conventional method. Integrated science lecturer should not only use peer collaborative strategy to teach the students the subject matter but should also allow them to interact with one another, so that they (students) can take charge of how they can learn. This can foster confidence in the students and enhance their achievement in integrated science.

Promoting active learning in the Nigerian real property and related programmes: The role of teacher professional development - Oyedokun, Tunbosun (2023)
Active learning has gained widespread acceptance over the past few decades as a way to enhance student learning in higher education institutions (HEIs). Unlike the traditional teacher-focused approach, active learning prioritises the constructivist learning theory and places students at the centre of learning design and delivery. Research shows that active learning can enhance knowledge retention, foster independent learning, and improve student satisfaction. Despite its numerous benefits, however, the adoption of active learning practices by HEI teachers is not always natural or intuitive. To address this challenge, HEIs often provide or mandate teacher professional development (TPD) programmes to enlighten and influence teachers to adopt active learning strategies. However, this practice is not universal. In Nigeria for instance, academics are usually employed based on their relevant (subject-specific) qualifications and are mostly not required to undergo any special teacher training to be promoted. This lack of teacher training opportunities is a significant obstacle to the widespread adoption of active learning practices in the sector. To address this challenge, this study - currently at the data collection stage - assesses the role TPD programmes could play in driving active learning in Nigeria, focusing specifically on the property and related subjects. The study adopts a qualitative research approach and semi-structured interviews for data collection. Data will be collected from Nigerian lecturers who have migrated to take up teaching roles in the UK and those currently lecturing in Nigeria. Ultimately, this research seeks to identify effective TPD strategies that can be employed to promote the adoption of active learning practices in Nigerian HEIs.

Prospects and Challenges of Social Studies Teachers Professional Development in Nigeria - Oyewo, Adetola Elizabeth; Umoh, Samuel Uwem (2017)
Social Studies as a subject was introduced in several countries to meet certain specific needs and aspirations of the people. In Britain for instance, Social Studies was introduced into the school curriculum after the first and second world wars, as a panacea for social problems (Edinyang & Ubi, 2013). While in America, Social Studies was introduced with the intent of social competency and citizenship education (Adeshina, 2013, 2010). Social Studies is called different names in different countries, such as cultural studies, oriental studies, environmental education/studies, citizenship education or social science (Amos, 2014). In this chapter Social Studies in Nigeria is discussed with a focus on teacher education and professional development.

MOOCs for in-service teachers: the case of Uganda and lessons for Africa - Oyo, B.; Kalema, B.M.; Byabazaire, J. (Revista Española de Pedagogía, 2017)
In recent times, computers and internet have penetrated secondary schools in Africa but with greater attention to students’ computer literacy than teachers. At the same time, previous studies on digital literacy of teachers are unsustainable and mainly skewed on pre-service teachers than in-service teachers. These realities point to the need to investigate and implement effective and sustainable initiatives for improving digital literacy and online life-long learning for in-service teachers in Africa. This paper therefore presents a specialised MOOC platform known as TEP (Teachers’ E-learning Portal) for digital literacy and online life-long learning for in-service teachers in Uganda. TEP is built for environments with inadequate access to computers, internet and technical assistance. As such, TEP is accessible online or offline, managed by accredited local universities in collaboration with beneficiary secondary schools, and runs on existing resources in schools (technical personnel, computers and internet). Results from initial implementation of a computer literacy MOOC through TEP indicate that irrespective of age, when teachers are adequately supported internally by their schools and externally by a university, can improve their digital literacy and subsequently engage in online life-long learning. In addition, the results both in terms of high percentage of teacher participants’ completions (89%) and high volume of educational e-content generated, confirm TEP as an effective, attractive, and self-sustainable MOOC platform for in-service teachers’ in resource constraint environments. The paper finishes with an analysis of the relevance of TEP to Africa.

Mobility-Related Teacher Turnover and the Unequal Distribution of Experienced Teachers in Turkey - Özoğlu, Murat (Educational Sciences: Theory & Practice, 2015)
This study investigates the issue of mobility-related teacher turnover in Turkey through both quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative findings derived from descriptive and correlational analyses of countrywide teacher-assignment and transfer data indicate that a high rate of mobility-related turnover is observed in the less- developed, eastern provinces of Turkey. The qualitative findings derived from semi-structured, in-depth interviews with school principals suggest that the factors contributing to the issue of mobility-related teacher turnover experienced in eastern Turkey are largely related to the socio-economic and geographic conditions of the region. The qualitative findings further suggest that this turnover issue may have far-reaching negative consequences across school-wide performances and processes. Participants consistently reported that the issue of teacher turnover had negative impacts on student performance, teacher motivation and commitment, instructional planning, administrative processes, and school climate. The study concludes by exploring possible policy implications for alleviating the issue of mobility-related teacher turnover as experienced in the less-developed, eastern regions of Turkey.

Learning Loss, Learning Gains and Wellbeing: A Rapid Evidence Assessment - Page, Ella; Leonard-Kane, Rosie; Kashefpakdel, Elnaz; Riggall, Anna; Guerriero, Sonia (Education Development Trust, 2021)
As schools begin reopening around the world, education systems are faced with the challenge of mitigating learning lost during the pandemic, designing and implementing remedial or accelerated learning programmes, remote learning and next year's curriculum. Effective teachers are a crucial part of supporting learning recovery. School closure during COVID-19 has left many teachers uncertain about their role, worried about their working conditions and their health, safety and wellbeing, unable to use technology effectively, and unprepared for classroom challenges when schools reopen. Teachers will need to respond to students' academic losses (and gains), but also to their socio-emotional wellbeing. United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) and Education Development Trust have undertaken this study to provide information to help teachers, schools and governments understand how to support teachers to best support students as they return to school. This research is designed to allow to focus on the available existing evidence, and focuses on the most marginalised students and include research from previous crisis and disaster contexts to examine broadly what is know about actions to mitigate and recover learning loss, not just related to the current global pandemic but in a broader sense. The key research questions for this Rapid Evidence Assessment (REA) are grouped into two sections. Firstly, questions about learning loss, gain and impact on student wellbeing. The second group of questions focus on the experience of teachers and the literature around the skills and support required for teachers to recover learning and wellbeing themselves and in students as they return to school. The REA is a companion to a review of policy and grey literature which focuses more on commentary and guidance literature. These papers are the first stage in a wider research project which will look at how teachers support learning recovery post COVID-19.

A comparative study of TVET in 5 African Countries with a specific focus on TVET Teacher Education - Papier, Joy (2017)
This article describes a five country (Cameroun, Egypt, Ghana, South Africa, Tanzania) study of ‘TVET Teacher Education in Africa’ that was commissioned in terms of an EU-South African collaboration in 2013. While the focus was on vocational teacher education, the contextual realities of each country‘s vocational systems was studied as this would impact on every aspect of vocational teacher development, for instance, what teachers would have to teach, who the students might be, how students would be expected to learn, available funding for Vocational Education and so on. Comparisons were therefore made over a range of elements that included the systems in place for vocational training, systems of vocational teacher education, and the modalities for training of VET teachers.

Blogging as critical praxis: becoming a critical teacher educator in the age of participatory culture - Pascarella, John (McGill University, 2009)
This self-study of becoming a critical teacher educator extends the research on blogs as a vehicle of critical self-reflection in teaching and teacher education. While the primary focus of this thesis is a self-study of the process of becoming a teacher educator, the author presents findings based on discursive data collected from blogs produced by teacher candidates in two case studies, which inform this process of becoming. The case studies are represented as two “strands”: one carried out in Montréal, Quebec, Canada, at McGill University, and the other carried out near Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. Like prior studies involving the use of blogs in teacher preparation, this study examines pre-service teachers’ critical engagement with topics and issues endemic to their current field experiences and future careers in K-12 classrooms. The instructional techniques deployed in the case studies adhered to principles of modeling technology integration in order to transform teaching and learning activities by facilitating a learning environment for pre-service teacher candidates informed by the tenets of critical pedagogy. In this vein, this study examines the implementation of a particular instructional strategy, problem-posing pedagogy, as a practice that integrates the use of blogs to aid the achievement of pre-service teacher candidates’ “critical self-engagement” as well as contribute to the author’s development as a critical teacher educator.

Teacher-Student-Relationship Quality in Inclusive Secondary Schools: Theory and Measurement of Emotional Aspects of Teaching - Pastore, Giuliana; Luder, Reto (Frontiers in Education, 2021)
Inclusive healthy schools are committed to provide a learning environment for a healthy development and optimal learning support for all students, regardless of their performance, language, learning and behavior disposition or disability. In order to achieve this goal, the relationship between teacher and students is crucial. Research in this area has shown the importance of emotional aspects as a mark of quality of teacher-student relationships, recognizing them as strong predictors for better achievement, compared to professional and subject-related aspects of teaching. Nevertheless, empirical studies in inclusive schools are seldom considering teacher-student relationships, as a theoretically sound conceptualization is missing in the context of research in inclusive schools. In the present paper, based on the attachment theory and the research on joint attention, two emotional components of teacher-student relationships are examined as key-concepts of high relevance for inclusive schools (emotional resonance and shared intentionality). It is also discussed how to empirically operationalize and measure these emotional components with the intention of analyzing the current situation of inclusive schools in future studies.

Revitalizing Teacher Training Colleges in Nigeria. Issues and Challenges - Patrick, Oladunjoye; Felix, Omenu (Journal of Education and Practice, 2013)
This study is concerned with methods of revitalizing teacher training colleges in Nigeria. Three research questions guided the study. A questionnaire on ‘Revitalizing Teacher Training Colleges’ (RTTC) was used to collect data which was analysed using the simple descriptive statistics. The instrument was administered to 1,244 respondents, which include 480 university lecturers, 782 teachers in the colleges of education and 84 Teachers’ Grade Two holders. The result shows that a greater percentage of the respondents are of the opinion that the Teachers Grade Two Programme should be revived and revitatised. The colleges of education are not attractive enough to meet up with the manpower needs in Nigeria. The university students are not concentised to look at teaching as a noble profession. Several recommendations were made such as the provision of adequate infrastructures, payment of allowances and special incentives to deserving students. Revitalizing the teacher training colleges to be attractive to all students.

Special Education Teachers Job Satisfaction In Malaysia: A Review - Pazim, Khairul Hanim; Al, Et (Turkish Journal of Computer and Mathematics Education (TURCOMAT), 2021)
Job satisfaction of special education teachers can be enjoyed when the teacher is able to focus on teaching MBK and the student shows the proper development. This job satisfaction if achieved will increase the commitment of teachers in performing their duties. However, if job satisfaction is not achieved, then avoidance and neglect of responsibilities will occur. This job satisfaction is important in producing the work productivity of special education teachers at the best level. This study was conducted to review previous studies related to job satisfaction of special education teachers. It is hoped that the findings of this study can help future researchers to get a clearer picture related to this issue.

Building capacity for professional development: the development of teachers as facilitators in Ghana - Perry, Emily; Bevins, Stuart (Professional Development in Education, 2018)
In low- and middle-income countries, cascade models of teacher professional development are often used as routes to educational reform. In these models, external agents deliver professional development, which is then disseminated by in-country facilitators. However, little is known about how to support facilitators of professional development, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. In this study, we report on a model of capacity building for professional development in Ghana. In the context of a large-scale programme of science teacher professional development, a group of Ghanaian teachers gradually assumed responsibility for professional development facilitation, working alongside experienced facilitators from the UK. Using interviews focussed on a storyline technique, we explore the experiences of the Ghanaian teachers as they reflected on their roles. We found the teachers’ epistemological beliefs about teaching were coherent with those of the programme and suggest that this may be an important factor in the success of cascade models of professional development. The teachers gained self-confidence and improved their knowledge and skills of teaching and of professional development facilitation. We propose that this is useful learning for all facilitators and that the model described here is one which is potentially useful for capacity building in other contexts.

Improving teacher professional development for online and blended learning: a systematic meta-aggregative review - Philipsen, Brent; Tondeur, Jo; Pareja Roblin, Natalie; Vanslambrouck, Silke; Zhu, Chang (Educational Technology Research and Development, 2019)
In order to fully realise the potential of online and blended learning (OBL), teacher professional development (TPD) strategies on how to teach in an online or blended learning environment are needed. While many studies examine the effects of TPD strategies, fewer studies target the specific important components of these strategies. This study addresses that gap by conducting a systematic review of qualitative data consisting of 15 articles on TPD that targets OBL. Using a meta-aggregative approach, six different synthesised findings were identified and integrated into a visual framework of the key components of TPD for OBL. These synthesised findings are the base for the action recommendations which present specific and contextualised suggestions. Taken together, the findings can inform in-service teachers and trainers, together with further research and development efforts that are concerned with TPD for OBL.

Teacher-Student Relationships and Engagement: Conceptualizing, Measuring, and Improving the Capacity of Classroom Interactions - Pianta, Robert C.; Hamre, Bridget K.; Allen, Joseph P. (Handbook of Research on Student Engagement, 2012)
Classrooms are complex social systems, and student-teacher relationships and interactions are also complex, multicomponent systems. We posit that the nature and quality of relationship interactions between teachers and students are fundamental to understanding student engagement, can be assessed through standardized observation methods, and can be changed by providing teachers knowledge about developmental processes relevant for classroom interactions and personalized feedback/support about their interactive behaviors and cues. When these supports are provided to teachers’ interactions, student engagement increases. In this chapter, we focus on the theoretical and empirical links between interactions and engagement and present an approach to intervention designed to increase the quality of such interactions and, in turn, increase student engagement and, ultimately, learning and development. Recognizing general principles of development in complex systems, a theory of the classroom as a setting for development, and a theory of change specific to this social setting are the ultimate goals of this work. Engagement, in this context, is both an outcome in its own right and a mediator of impacts that teachers have on student outcomes through their interactions with children and youth. In light of this discussion, we offer suggestions or directions for further research in this area.

Identifying the essential ingredients to literacy and numeracy improvement: Teacher professional development and coaching, student textbooks, and structured teachers’ guides - Piper, Benjamin; Simmons Zuilkowski, Stephanie; Dubeck, Margaret; Jepkemei, Evelyn; King, Simon J. (World Development, 2018)
Several rigorously evaluated programs have recently shown positive effects on early literacy and numeracy outcomes in developing countries. However, these programs have not been designed to evaluate which ingredients of the interventions are most essential to improve literacy outcomes. Policy makers therefore lack evidence as to whether program ingredients such as teacher professional development (PD), instructional coaching, learner materials, teachers’ guides, community support, or technology are required for program impact. The Kenya Primary Math and Reading Initiative was a randomized controlled trial that compared three treatment groups with speciﬁc ingredients and a control group. Using literacy and numeracy outcome measures for grades 1 and 2, we evaluated the beneﬁts of the following ingredients: (1) teacher PD and teacher instructional support and coaching; (2) revised student books in literacy and numeracy, at a 1:1 ratio, added to PD and instructional support; and (3) structured teacher lesson plans added to student books, PD, and instructional support. We found that two of the three combinations of ingredients had statistically signiﬁcant positive impacts on learning outcomes. The results showed that the third combination—PD, teacher instructional support and coaching, 1:1 student books, and structured teacher lesson plans—was most effective. A cost-effectiveness analysis on the ingredients showed that the option of PD and instructional support, 1:1 revised books, and teachers’ guides was the most expensive, but that the additional impact on learning made this the most cost-effective intervention. This study rigorously analyzes which ingredients for literacy and numeracy improvement would be most effective for overall impact, and suggests to policy makers that careful decisions regarding program ingredients will lead to more effectively designed and implemented interventions to improve learning in developing countries.

Effectiveness of Teachers’ Guides in the Global South: Scripting, Learning Outcomes, and Classroom Utilization - Piper, Benjamin; Sitabkhan, Yasmin; Mejia, Jessica; Betts, Kellie (RTI Press, 2018)
This report presents the results of RTI International Education’s study on teachers' guides across 13 countries and 19 projects. Using quantitative and qualitative methods, we examine how teachers’ guides across the projects differ and find substantial variation in the design and structure of the documents. We develop a scripting index so that the scripting levels of the guides can be compared across projects. The impact results of the programs that use teachers’ guides show significant impacts on learning outcomes, associated with approximately an additional half year of learning, showing that structured teachers’ guides contribute to improved learning outcomes. During observations, we find that teachers make a variety of changes in their classroom instruction from how the guides are written, showing that the utilization of structured teachers’ guides do not create robotic teachers unable to use their own professional skills to teach children. Unfortunately, many changes that teachers make reduce the amount of group work and interactivity that was described in the guides, suggesting that programs should encourage teachers to more heavily utilize the instructional routines designed in the guide. The report includes a set of research-based guidelines that material developers can use to develop teachers’ guides that will support effective instructional practices and help improve learning outcomes. The key takeaway from the report is that structured teachers' guides improve learning outcomes, but that overly scripted teachers' guides are somewhat less effective than simplified teachers' guides that give specific guidance to the teacher but are not written word for word for each lesson in the guide.

Teacher coaching in Kenya: Examining instructional support in public and nonformal schools - Piper, Benjamin; Zuilkowski, Stephanie Simmons (Teaching and Teacher Education, 2015)
Instructional coaching has improved student outcomes in the United States, and may help to solve Kenya's literacy problems. Coaching is costly, however, and evidence is lacking regarding the most cost-efficient teacher-to-coach ratio. We used student literacy outcome data from more than 8000 students participating in the Kenya Primary Math and Reading Initiative—a randomized controlled trial of instructional interventions in public and nonformal schools—to fill this gap. Coaches in larger public zones made fewer visits per teacher, and teacher-coach ratio and student performance were negatively associated. Using causal methods, we concluded that lower ratios might improve nonformal school outcomes.

The Emerging International Knowledge Exchange Barrier in Virtual Teacher Communities - Pirkkalainen, Henri; Jokinen, Jussi; Pawlowski, Jan (Proceedings of the 20th International Academic Mindtrek Conference, 2016)
Openness in education has sought its way to practice in schools as in universities. Many strategies and concepts have emerged: from openly shared resources to open practices to improve the access to and the quality of education. The knowledge exchange of educators has been seen a crucial activity in reaching and sustaining openness. This article analyses a typical knowledge exchange activity in schools: European teachers were engaged in virtual OER communities to exchange teaching resources as well as experiences about using OER and ICT in education. We applied technology acceptance framework and studied a potential barrier of international knowledge exchange. The findings of the study show surprising results: the willingness to exchange teaching materials within global virtual teacher communities decreases as schools mature in using OER and ICT. This study serves especially as a discussion opener for sustaining discourse and peer support in teacher virtual communities that strive for openness and international knowledge exchange. The findings have strong practical implications for the open education domain as well as for school / teacher development in general.

Teachers for rural schools – a challenge for South Africa - Plessis, Pierre du; Mestry, Raj (South African Journal of Education, 2019)
Poverty is rife in many African countries and this has serious implications for the provision of quality education. Rural schools face severe challenges that are unique to their environment. A lack of parental interest in children’s education, insufficient funding from the state, a lack of resources, underqualified teachers, and multi-grade teaching are some of the barriers to effective education. These challenges can be attributed to numerous sources, from within school structures and from the external environment, including local communities and education authorities. After 25 years of democracy, educational standards and learner performance in rural schooling has shown little improvement. This study illustrates the complexity and inter-connectedness of the problems faced by teachers in South African rural schools. Using qualitative research within the interpretivist paradigm, this article explores the perceptions and experiences of teachers in rural schools located in White River in the Mpumalanga province. This grounded-theory research focuses on effective teaching and learning. The findings reveal that most rural schools do not have water, sanitation, or electricity, and classrooms are in a terrible state. These issues have serious implications for effective teaching and learning.Keywords: deployment; education level; education quality; recruitment; rural schools

Approaches to teacher professional development in low-to-middle-income countries - Power, Tom (Sustainable English language teacher development at scale: lessons from Bangladesh, 2019)
This chapter begins by situating discussion of approaches to teacher development (TD) in the context of the grand societal challenge of Education for All (UNESCO 2014), as written into the earlier Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and now Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4:‘to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education for all.’ This goal cannot be met without addressing the stark and urgent need for greater numbers of teachers who are adequately equipped with the knowledge and skills to enable effective student learning. Drawing upon personal experiences of work with teachers in LMICs over nearly two decades, the chapter argues against ‘blaming teachers’ for poor student learning outcomes, and advocates instead the development of better understandings of the often challenging contexts in which teachers practise. The chapter then critically examines common approaches to TD that have often failed adequately to equip teachers for classroom practice, outlining a broadly supported agenda for reform. Recent literature has begun to identify certain characteristics of TD programmes that are increasingly associated with effective student outcomes, in what may be an emerging consensus. These characteristics are briefly outlined, before the chapter closes with lessons learned from English in Action. EIA has both contributed to and benefitted from this emerging evidence base and Chapter 5 illustrates how the implementation of EIA exemplifies such characteristics through a cohesive programme design.

The import of professional development programmes for primary school teachers in Nigeria - Prince, OSIESI Mensah (International Journal on Integrated Education, 2020)
The paper discussed the import of professional development programmes for primary school teachers in Nigeria. It highlighted the relevance of the primary school teacher; effective development programmes for them in relation to their teaching competences; the primary education in Nigeria, its functions and challenges confronting it; challenges facing primary school teachers. The paper further explored the objectives and forms of teachers’ development and barriers to effective teacher development programmes in Nigeria. It concluded that Mechanisms for effective teachers’ professional development should be put in place by stakeholders on a regular basis; as this is tantamount to enhancing teachers’ teaching competences and that teachers at the primary schools need regular on-the-job professional development programmes. A number of recommendations were articulated to ensure continuous and effective teachers development for practicing primary school teachers in Nigeria.

Openness reexamined: teachers’ practices with open educational resources in online language teaching - Pulker, Hélène; Kukulska-Hulme, Agnes (Distance Education, 2020)
Open educational practices (OEP) as a research field is relatively new. One aspect that has received limited attention is the impact of using open educational resources (OER) on the development of OEP. This article, based on a doctoral study (Pulker, 2019), considers teachers’ activities when reusing and adapting OER, with a view to providing evidence of reuse and understanding whether these activities influence teaching practices. A qualitative study following a constructivist grounded theory methodology was undertaken with 17 part-time online language teachers via semi-structured interviews. The article presents the five-step model of reuse that emerged from the data analysis. We suggest that OER reuse has a positive impact, even though teachers’ practices might not be open as defined up until now. A graphic representation depicts the process that teachers engage with when using and adapting OER. The research brings new understanding of teachers’ experiences of reuse, showing that the principal motivation is enhancing students’ learning.

Blended Learning Approach to Develop the Teachers’ TPACK - Qasem, Arwa Ahmad Abdo; Viswanathappa, Gandla (Contemporary Educational Technology, 2016)
A theoretical framework has emerged recently to guide research in the teachers’ use of ICT and it is the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). Early research indicates that Blended learning is increasingly being adopted at all levels of educational system. It is considered as a way to foster engaging in interactive learning experiences. The purpose of this article was to determine the levels of ICT knowledge on e-course design through blended learning approach among science teachers of secondary schools in Yemen. The study was conducted on the sample of 60 science teacher trainees in Ibb city. The ICT knowledge scale was used based on TPACK. To analyze the data t-test was used. The findings in this study indicated that TPACK has provided a valuable tool for assessing teacher knowledge in the area of technology integration, the teachers’ ICT knowledge was above average in two groups, and there is significant difference between experimental and control groups on ICT knowledge scale. Recommendations are made for future research on online collaboration activities to raise awareness of factors related to online group work and to determine the in-service training needs of teachers on ICT use to follow-up support and to ensure successful utilization of new technologies.

Training and Development, Job Satisfaction, Perceived Organisational Support and Job Performance of Public Primary Schools Teachers in Nigeria - Raji, Ismaheel Adewumi; Aliyu, Muhammed Kudu; Abu, Meseret Kassahun (2019)
Effectiveness of any educational system is largely dependent on the performance of its teachers. The performance of teachers in Nigeria public primary schools have been called to questions. Of course, there are a number of factors that contribute to low performance of teachers. But then, training and development, job satisfaction and perceived organisational support have not received needed attention with regards to teachers job performance. On the basis of this, the study aims at exploring the relationships between training and development, job satisfaction, perceived organisational support and teachers job performance in Nigerian public primary schools with special preference to Zaria in Kaduna State Nigeria. Cross sectional research designs and simple random sampling technique were utilized. 407 copies of questionnaire were administered to teachers in public primary schools in Zaria but only 388 were returned. Data collected were analysed using Partial Least Square –Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM). The findings of the study revealed that training and development, job satisfaction and perceived organisational support have positive relationships with teachers job performance. It was concluded by the study that training and development, job satisfaction, perceived organisational support contribute majorly to teachers job performance and recommendations were also provided.

Teachers’ conceptions and choices of assessment tasks in a Nigerian postgraduate teacher training - Raji, Monsurat Omobola; Daramola, Dorcas Sola; Oladele, Jumoke I. (Asian Journal of Assessment in Teaching and Learning, 2020)
Student assessment is a process that entails the collection of evidence of learning in diverse and systematic ways to make judgments on students’ learning. What then is the perception of this vital tool in the hands of the users (teachers)? This study investigates teachers’ conceptions of assessment and their choices of assessment tasks in postgraduate teacher training. Action research with one group pretest-posttest design was adopted for the study. The survey used to collect data for this study has three sections (A, B, & C). Section A elicits participants’ personal information; Section B contains 20 different assessment tasks. Section C includes 26 items that examined participants’ conceptions of assessment from four different sub-scales (school accountability, student accountability, improvement of teaching and learning, and irrelevance factors). The researchers further validated the survey, and the Alpha reliability coefficient of the whole scale was 0.85. Data collected from twenty-eight randomly selected teachers out of forty-five were analyzed using descriptive measures and paired sample t-test. Findings revealed that teachers enact both summative and formative assessment tasks but with preferences for summative tasks. A significant difference in teachers’ conception of assessment was recorded, but there was no significant difference in teachers’ assessment conception based on gender. Recommendations are presented to improve the research knowledgebase on assessment in the Nigerian education context.

Demographic profile and perceived INSET needs of secondary Mathematics teachers in Limpopo province - Rakumako, Angeline; Laugksch, Rüdiger C. (2010)
The findings of a study on the demographic profile and perceived INSET needs of secondary Mathematics teachers in Limpopo province are described. The survey instrument employed was the Science Teacher Inventory of Needs for Limpopo province (STIN-LP). Most teachers who responded to this survey teach at a rural or township school, are between 20 and 40 years old, and have between four and ten years experience in teaching Mathematics. Standard 10 is the highest academic qualification of half of the teachers, with 67% of teachers having an M+3 as their highest professional qualification. Teachers indicated interest in all the 38 INSET need items included in the STIN-LP with motivating learners to learn Mathematics, using audio-visual equipment and applying mathematics to daily life of learners among the most important need. The least support was indicated, among others, for needs related to the history of mathematics, improving content knowledge, how mathematics is used in society, and teaching large classes. Poor communication of INSET activities was reported to be the greatest barrier to INSET participation. Implications of the findings are discussed.

Getting the Right Teachers into the Right Schools: Managing India's Teacher Workforce - Ramachandran, Vimala; Béteille, Tara; Linden, Toby; Dey, Sangeeta; Chatterjee, Prerna Goel (World Bank Publications, 2017)
India's landmark Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act (2009) guarantees education to all children aged 6-14 years. The Act mandates specific student-teacher ratios and emphasizes teacher quality. Writing this into legislation took seven years, but the seven years since has proven that ensuring effective teachers are recruited and placed in all schools in a time-bound manner is considerably more challenging. This report takes a detailed look at the complexity of the teacher management landscape in elementary and secondary schools in nine Indian states. On a daily basis, the administrative machinery of these states has to manage between 19,000 to nearly a million teachers in different types of schools and employment contracts, and cope with recruiting thousands more and distributing them equitably across schools. This report examines the following issues: official requirements for becoming a schoolteacher in India; policies and processes for teacher recruitment, deployment and transfers; salaries and benefits of teachers; professional growth of teachers; and grievance redressal mechanisms for teachers. For the first time in India, this report compares and contrasts stated policy with actual practice in teacher management in the country, using a combination of primary and secondary data. In so doing, the report reveals the hidden challenges and the nature of problems faced by administrators in attempting to build an effective teacher workforce which serves the needs of all of India’s 200 million school children. The report examines states with varying characteristics, thus generating knowledge and evidence likely to be of interest to policy makers and practitioners in a wide range of contexts.

A shift from traditional pedagogy in Nepali rural primary schools? Rural teachers' capacity to reflect ICT policy in their practice - Rana, Karna; Greenwood, Janinka; Fox-Turnbull, Wendy; Wise, Stuart (International Journal of Education and Development using Information and Communication Technology, 2018)
Policy by the government of Nepal emphasises the need to develop ICT competencies and suggests the use of ICT will transform traditional models of teaching to ones that are student-centred. This article reports a study of primary teachers' experiences of using digital technologies in rural primary schools in Nepal, and investigates their perceptions of how the availability and use of ICT in their schools has transformed traditional teaching models. It further examines the resources they can access and the training they received. Teachers' accounts of their experiences indicated that the integration of available digital technologies in instructional activities changed their role in the classroom to some extent, created a learner-friendly learning environment and improved aspects of their teaching. The study also found that there was often insufficient access to ICT in and outside the school premises, and that pre-service teacher education, as well as government-provided in-service training, does not cover the use of ICT in instructional activities. Rather provision of infrastructures and training in the use of digital devices is carried out by non-governmental organisations (NGOs). The article argues that for policy to be realised in practice, more sustainable and comprehensive systems need to be developed to train teachers in ICT use and to provide them with necessary facilities.

ICT integration in teaching and learning activities in higher education: a case study of Nepal's teacher education - Rana, Kesh; Rana, Karna (Malaysian Online Journal of Educational Technology, 2020)
This article reports an examination of information and communication technology (ICT) integration in teaching and learning activities in higher education in Nepal. ICT education policy by the government of Nepal emphasises the need to develop teachers' ICT competencies and suggests the use of ICT will transform traditional models of teaching to ones that are student-centred. The case study reported the lack of clear strategy to implement the ICT education policy and to fund for the ICT infrastructure and professional development of university staff to integrate ICT in teacher education. In this case, the Faculty of Education in the university, where there is no funding from the government and university for the ICT in education project, received funding from an international organisation to install ICT infrastructure and provide ICT training for teachers and other staff. It is argued that, to realise the policy in practice, more sustainable mechanisms need to be developed to provide ICT facilities for teachers and to train them how to use ICT in teaching activities.

Supporting teacher development: literature review. - Reid, Kate; Kleinhenz, Elizabeth; Australia; Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (2015)
This literature review identifies and evaluates evidence on the effectiveness of approaches to improving teacher quality in developing countries. It examines four categories of assistance for improving teacher quality: teacher development policies; pre-service education and training; in-service professional development; and school-based support. As far as possible the review highlights practices that demonstrat effectiveness. The review describes examples from different countries, of practices in educational policy and teacher development focused on enhancing teacher quality. It identifies policies that support teacher development as well as the characteristics of effective pre-service teacher education programs and of high-quality professional learning programs for teachers. It acknowledges the need to modify and adapt intervention approaches to suit particular country contexts. [Executive summary].

Teachers of Refugees: A Review of the Literature - Richardson, Emily (Education Development Trust, 2018)
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimates that 65.6 million people are forcibly displaced, having either crossed national borders or become internally displaced within their own countries. Of this estimate, over 22.5 million are refugees. Over half of the world's refugees are children. With an average length of displacement of approximately 20 years, the majority of these children will spend their entire childhoods away from home. Refugee children have limited access to basic social services like healthcare and education. Given the length of their displacement, generations of refugee children throughout the world could miss out on education altogether. Numerous studies show that the teacher is the most important in-school factor affecting the quality of education, particularly in refugee contexts, where the teacher is sometimes the only resource available to students. In refugee contexts where infrastructure and resources are limited, the role of the teacher is particularly important to the quality of education. However few studies to date have examined the role of teachers in refugee contexts. With more literature focusing on refugee children and youth, little is known about who the teachers of refugees are and how they are recruited, trained, retained, compensated and managed in their contexts. Importantly, there is little research on national teachers who are teaching refugee children; rather, much of the available literature focuses on refugee teachers – that is, teachers who are also refugees. In addition, this lack of literature on teachers of refugees hinders our understanding not only of their needs but also of 'how refugees can contribute to education in their host countries and (eventually) to their home countries'. The purpose of this literature review is to survey policies, practices and debates that governments and their partners must navigate to provide education for refugee populations, and the strategies they have used to select and manage teaching forces. The review analyses findings from the main literature on teachers of refugees according to the following themes: (1) recruitment, certification and selection of teachers; (2) teacher preparation and development; (3) teacher remuneration and incentives; and (4) teacher retention. In addition, for each of these themes, this review highlights the salient gaps in the research and suggests an agenda for further research. [Co-written with Leonora MacEwen and Ruth Naylor.]

Sustainability and science and technology teacher education: A review of the literature - Rocksén, Miranda; Vhurumuku, Elaosi; Svensson, Maria (Science and Technology Teacher Education in the Anthropocene, 2022)
To introduce the theme of this book, in this chapter, we report the results from a review of the pertinent research literature, from South Africa and Sweden, focusing on approaches to sustainable development in science and technology teacher education. The 25 studies, selected for content analysis, were categorised into six approaches: (1) studies with content-focus, (2) studies of interdisciplinary approaches, (3) approaches proposing significant changes in teaching practices, (4) approaches challenging educational paradigms, (5) approaches developing theoretical models and (6) approaches towards effective integration of sustainable development in curricula. Although papers from both countries agree that contemporary challenges emanating from unsustainable exploitation of the environment and earth's resources necessitate reorientation in science and technology teacher education, there are differences in the ways in which this is approached. In Sweden, the emphasis has been on understanding and developing teachers’ and learners’ sustainability competencies, while in South Africa, the major focus has been on developing teachers’ pedagogical practices and implementation of policies and curricula.

Baseline Study for Distance Technical and Professional Education in Mozambique - Romiszowski, A (2015)
This baseline study has been undertaken to describe and analyse the current situation with respect to TVET, in order to evaluate the needs and the viability of employing open and distance Learning (ODL), and in particular eLearning in a flexible and blended approach. The main focus of the study is directed to that part of the system that is under the responsibility of the National Directorate for Technical and Professional Education (DINET) – namely the pre-tertiary level public-sector TVET institutions. These institutions are classified into three levels, equivalent to the subdivisions of the general education system: elementary, basic and medium, the last being equivalent to high school – the 11th and 12th grades. Elementary level courses are offered in 36 technical schools, 28 offer basic level courses and 19 offer courses at the medium level, a total of 85.

The political economy of teacher management reform in Indonesia - Rosser, Andrew; Fahmi, Mohamad (International Journal of Educational Development, 2018)
Indonesia faces serious problems in the number, cost, quality and distribution of teachers. In recent years, its central government has introduced a range of reforms to address these problems but they have produced modest results. This paper suggests that this outcome reﬂects the way in which predatory political and bureaucratic elites have used the school system for decades to accumulate resources, distribute patronage, mobilize political support, and exercise political control rather than promote improved learning outcomes. Eﬀorts to reduce teacher numbers, enhance teacher quality, and improve teacher distribution have accordingly constituted an assault on the interests of these elites, provoking powerful, if often subterranean, resistance. Broadly, reform has only occurred where the central government has employed policy instruments that have disciplined local governments and maintained a commitment to these instruments in the face of resistance. The paper concludes by assessing the implications for Indonesian education.

Epistemic mediation: Video data as filters for the objectification of teaching by teachers - Roth, Wolff-Michael (Video Research in the Learning Sciences, 2007)
Learning science researchers attempting to understand situated human practices traditionally have relied on ethnographic observation and field notes recorded after the events have occurred. However, as Jordan and Henderson articulated in the opening quote, they are faced with the gap between accounts of action and (situated) ac-tions themselves. The problem is heightened when learning science researchers become themselves participants in the setting under study. Thus, a number of learning science researchers-including Magdalene Lampert, Jim Minstrell, David Hammer, and myself-conducted research on cognition and instruction all the while teaching the lessons that are the focus of their studies. Furthermore, an increasing number of teachers continue their formal education and become learning science researchers and teach at elementary and secondary schools. Teacher-researchers are confronted with particular challenges arising from the fact that they are participants in rather than onlookers to the situation to be analyzed and theorized. They are interested rather than disinterested participants, and therefore have something at stake, which harbors particular dangers for the quality of the analyses of learning and instruction in their classrooms that accompany the analytic advantages that derive from their insider role (Roth & Tobin, 2002). Video, as the second quote shows, provides opportunities to teacher-researchers to see themselves and their experiences differently, even pertaining to their own actions. In the second quote, Christina described how watching herself on videotape allowed her notice that she was standing a lot next to the chalkboard even when it was not used during interactions with students. That is, by means of the video, she became aware of her own actions in a different way.

Co-creation of OER by teachers and teacher educators in Colombia - Sáenz Rodríguez, María del Pilar; Pino, Ulises Hernandez; Hernández, Yoli Marcela (Adoption and impact of OER in the Global South, 2017)
This chapter, based on research conducted by members of the Collaborative CoCreation of Open Educational Resources by Teachers and Teacher Educators in Colombia (coKREA) project, assesses whether and how a contextually based, bottomup approach to the promotion and advocacy of Open Educational Resources (OER) – in which teachers are encouraged to collaboratively co-create resources – supports the adoption of OER in Colombian schools. The study, conducted with public school teachers in southwestern Colombia, used a Participatory Action Research approach, in which the object of study is not external to the researchers, as the social practices under study are performed by the same subjects who are conducting the investigation. This allows teachers to identify possibilities of OER in their own educational practices, as well as the conditions required for their adoption, based on collective thinking processes immersed in their own sociocultural contexts. A call for research participation was issued to teachers who were experienced in using information and communication technologies (ICT) in their teaching. The data collection process was undertaken through administration of a series of online questionnaires (completed by 19 teachers), a survey (completed by 248 teachers), webinars (in which 28 teachers connected and 14 participated actively), unstructured telephone interviews (with 30 teachers) and a series of focus group discussions (with a cohort of 49 teacher educators, teachers and students). A face-to-face workshop was also conducted with teachers to provide an introduction to OER, after which they identified challenges to incorporating OER into their pedagogical practices and discussed their own OER-related activities.

“Give courage to the ladies”: Expansive apprenticeship for women in rural Malawi - Safford, K.; Cooper, D.; Wolfenden, F.; Chitsulo, J. (Journal of Vocational Education & Training, 2013)
Apprenticeship in developed and industrialised nations is increasingly understood and practised as learning which connects workplace activity and formal study. The concept of 'expansive apprenticeship' defines frameworks for workforce development where participants acquire knowledge and skills which will help them in the future as well as in their current roles; 'restrictive' apprenticeships limit opportunities for wider, lifelong learning. In developing world economies, apprenticeships are a traditional route to learning and employment, but tend to reflect a restrictive approach characterised by narrowly defined roles and weak educational outcomes. This paper examines the apprenticeship opportunities in a large scale Access to Teaching Scholarship in Malawi. The programme's study materials and support structures are designed to move participants from restrictive to expansive contexts for learning and to develop hybrid roles as students, community workers and apprentice teachers. The authors examine data from the first cohort of participants and consider the extent to which the Scholarship offers an innovative model of expansive apprenticeship to address barriers to female continuing education and chronic teacher shortages in Sub-Saharan Africa. © 2013 Copyright The Vocational Aspect of Education Ltd.

Digital learning in schools: What does it take beyond digital technology? - Sailer, Michael; Murböck, Julia; Fischer, Frank (Teaching and Teacher Education, 2021)
We investigated how often teachers apply digital technology in their teaching and which student learning activities teachers initiate. Further, we analyzed factors relating to technology use. 410 teachers in our sample, representative for the state of Bavaria (Germany), reported that they spend a substantial amount of time using digital technologies in a typical lesson. Results indicated that rather teachers’ basic digital skills and technology-related teaching skills than digital technology resources are crucial. Even though a certain threshold level of digital technology is necessary in school, our results suggest shifting the focus from equipping schools to teachers’ skills using technologies effectively.

Supporting Change in Literacy Instruction in Malawi - Sailors, Misty; Hoffman, James V.; Pearson, P. David; McClung, Nicola; Shin, Jaran; Phiri, Liveness Mwale; Saka, Tionge (Reading Research Quarterly, 2014)
In this study, we examined the effectiveness of an innovative approach to literacy instruction in Malawi on teachers' perceptions, attitudes, and instructional practices. Two groups participated in the study: Treatment teachers received complementary teaching and learning materials, workshops, and directive coaching, and control teachers received no intervention. After this five-month intervention, treatment teachers were significantly more comfortable with their languages of instruction and were more positive about their teaching ability, beliefs about the learning materials in their classroom, and beliefs about the culture of reading in their communities than control teachers were. There were no significant differences between groups when we analyzed their teaching practices or the engagement of their students. The coaching model proved to be associated with changes in teachers' beliefs and perceptions on many of our variables. These findings suggest that the program under examination was successful in promoting the conditions for success (teacher beliefs and perceptions). Further, the findings suggest that the implementation of coaching was an important source of support in implementing changes.

Not just for special occasions: supporting the professional learning of teachers through critical reflection with audio-visual information - Saito, Eisuke; Khong, Thi Diem Hang (Reflective Practice, 2017)
Despite increased use of professional learning communities in the teacher education field, they do not necessarily guarantee change in teachers’ daily practice. This study is a multiple case study of three school leaders in Vietnam to connect their teachers’ learning and practice by utilising visual records. In the cases studied, we see a progression of models of joint reflection based on visual information, from only occasional reflection to daily critical reflection, the latter of which the authors call ‘vide-flection’ referring to a process for people to consider their actions, thoughts, or experiences by utilising video-recorded images. For joint vide-flection, school leaders visit every classroom for several minutes every day to observe the wellbeing and learning of pupils and video-record struggles or breakthroughs in children’s learning; they share those images with teachers to jointly reflect on the situations. Through this vide-flection, teachers develop more detailed awareness of pupils needs. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Training Teachers at a Distance: Perceptions and Challenges of Open and Distance Learning (ODL) in Teacher Education the Zimbabwean Experience - Samkange, Wellington (Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education, 2013)
Zimbabwe like most developing countries continues to experience shortages in skills. One such area that has experienced skills shortages is education. This has resulted in governments and education institutions coming up with innovative ways to improve the training of of teachers. Such innovative models include the Open & Distance Learning (ODL) model in the development of skills. In some instances, there has been a combination of the conventional model and the ODL model. The purpose of the study was to examine the different methods used in the training of teachers and the role of ODL in addressing skills shortages. The study used the qualitative methodology and the case study design. The respondents were purposively selected. Data was collected through lesson observations, document analysis and open-ended questionnaires that were administered to senior teachers, deputy school heads and school heads. These gave a total of twenty respondents from different schools. At the same time twenty trainee teachers in different programmes with the Zimbabwe Open University (ZOU) were observed teaching and were assessed. The study also examined views, attitudes and perceptions about the training of teachers. From the data it could be concluded that the model being used by teachers' colleges (2-5-2) was more inclined to ODL than the 'conventional' model, thus demonstrating that indeed teachers can be trained through ODL. Whilst there were mixed feelings about the role of universities in the training of pre-service teachers, it could be concluded that universities had a role in the training of teachers regardless of the mode of delivery they used. The study noted that the lack of resources and lack of understanding between different stakeholders was negatively affecting the success of the ODL model of training teachers at the Zimbabwe Open University (ZOU).

School-Based Teacher Professional Development Framework (SBTPDF): A Blueprint for School Principals in Nigeria - Sasere, Oluwasola Babatunde; Makhasane, Sekitla Daniel (International Journal of Learning Teaching and Educational Research, 2023)
There is a growing body of knowledge on effective Teacher Professional Development (TPD), with a consensus that skews in favour of decentralised, school-based and teacher-centred approach to TPD as opposed to the centralised, traditional and top-down approach. On the contrary, developing countries such as Nigeria still practise a centralised education system where traditional top-down TPD remains the norm, with the attendant consequence of professionally deficient teachers in the classroom. This situation has left a deficiency in centralised district/cluster-based teacher development. This study explored teachers’ and school administrators’ perceptions on the existing effectiveness TPD, with a view to developing a school-based TPD framework that caters for teachers’ professional needs. The study was a qualitative multiple-case study informed by the interpretivist paradigm. The study used, as its lenses, two complementary theories: Distributed Leadership Theory (DLT) and Adult Learning Theory (ALT). Three schools were selected using the purposive sampling technique. Four participants were selected from each school using a combination of purposive and snowball techniques. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analysed using the Thematic Analysis (TA) procedure. The findings revealed that one-size-fit-all centralised schools cluster TPD no longer meet the professional needs of teachers. The result also showed that participants preferred school-based teachers’ professional development to centralised approach. Hence, the study proposed a data-informed and theory-driven model known as School-Based Teacher Professional Development Framework (SBTPDF) as a blue-print for the implementation of school-based TPD for school administrators.

Effective integration of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in technical and vocational education and training (TVET) toward knowledge management - Saud, MS; Shu, B; Yasin, MAM (African Journal of Business Management, 2011)
The relevance of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the field of Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) cannot be exhausted by studies available in the “knowledge-based” society. The world of work is in continuous change as ICT itself, thus posing more challenges to the workers in the 21st century and the institutions responsible for their preparation. Despite numerous studies revealing the extent to which ICTs are applied at different educational specializations, literature on the effective integration of ICTs into Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) field is scarce and needs further exploration to highlight the TVETs’ level of requirement for ICTs integration. Therefore, this paper attempts to add to the available literature on ICTs integration in TVET by bringing out clearly; the need for effective integration of ICTs in TVET, factors influencing the effective integration of ICTs in TVET, overview of the challenges to the effective integration of ICTs in TVET. The paper concludes by recommending for a proper planning and management of ICTs resources in TVET.

Preparing Teachers and Developing School Leaders for the 21st Century: Lessons from around the World - Schleicher, Andreas (OECD Publishing, 2012)
Results from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development's (OECD's) Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) have shown that the degree to which education systems succeed in equipping students with important foundation skills varies significantly. Since the quality of teaching is at the heart of student learning outcomes, it is an appealing idea to bring together education leaders from high performing and rapidly improving education systems to explore to what extent educational success and some of the policies related to success transcend the specific characteristics of cultures and countries. To this end, in March 2012 the second "International Summit on the Teaching Profession" was held in New York, hosted by the U.S. Department of Education, the OECD and Education International. The Summit brought together education ministers, union leaders and other teacher leaders from high-performing and rapidly improving education systems, as measured by PISA, to review how to best improve the quality of teaching, teachers and school leaders. This publication underpinned the Summit with available research about what can make educational reforms effective, and highlights examples of reforms that have produced specific results, show promise or illustrate imaginative ways of implementing change. The Summit was organized around three interconnected themes: (1) Developing Effective School Leaders; (2) Preparing Teachers to Deliver 21st-Century Skills; and (3) Matching Teacher Demand and Supply. Selected comparative data on education from OECD sources are annexed. Individual chapters contain references and notes. (Contains 37 figures and 35 boxes.)

Inequitable Dispersion: Mapping the Distribution of Highly Qualified Teachers in St. Louis Metropolitan Elementary Schools - Schultz, Lyndsie Marie (Education Policy Analysis Archives, 2014)
The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 required all schools, including those located in historically disadvantaged areas, to employ highly qualified teachers. Schools in areas with higher levels of poverty and students of color have historically employed a higher percentage of less qualified teachers (Clotfelter, Ladd, & Vidgor, 2005, 2006; Hill & Lubienski, 2007; Lankford, Loeb, & Wyckoff, 2002). This study examines the distribution, location, and exceptions to highly qualified teachers in St. Louis metropolitan elementary schools. Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), this study demonstrates how the distribution of highly qualified teachers remains relevant to urban education policy discussions.

Contract Type and Teacher Absenteeism in Benin: The Role of Teacher’s Supplemental Income - Senou, Barthelemy Mahugnon (2021)
Absenteeism is a phenomenon that has been noted in professional circles with consequences on the income of the wage earner as well as the profits of the firm, consequences that led, according to statistics from 2005, to losses in public finance amounting to close to 70 billion francs for the Government of Benin. Despite such losses, very few studies in economics have focused on the subject in order to try and give an understanding of the real causes of absenteeism and its consequences. The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between the status of the teacher, supplemental income of the teacher, and the absenteeism of the teacher. Using data from PASEC-CONFEMEN 2005, that will be applied to a theoretical model that we are developing, and through the use of a Tobit empirical method, after having taken the endogeneity bias on the practice of supplemental income generating activities by the teacher into account, this study demonstrates that the practice of income generating activities by teachers positively influences their absenteeism, with contract teachers being more frequently absent than those who are on permanent and pensionable employment contracts. Through linking the level of prices in a locality with absenteeism behaviours, we make it clear that the reasons for absenteeism are mostly related to low purchasing power in the context of earning relatively meagre salaries. These results elicit a set of recommendations that essentially suggest that there should be an improvement in the salaries and working conditions of teachers.

Differences of TVET teachers’ perceptions on competency across different types of TVET institutions in nigeria - Sern, Lai Chee; Hamisu, Mohammed Adamu; Salleh, Kahirol Mohd; Adamu, Babayo Yakubu (International Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering, 2019)
© BEIESP. Competency is regarded as one of the main elements related to human resource development because it supports the aims of an organisation and the capabilities of its employees. This paper aimed at finding out the differences of the TVET teachers’ perceptions on competency (Thinking, Organizational and Application Competencies) across the three categorises of Nigerian tertiary institutions (University, Polytechnics, and College of Education) based on Malaysian Human Resource Development Practitioners (MHRDP) Competency Model. The study was quantitative by nature and 218 questionnaires were distributed to TVET teachers in five tertiary institutions based on stratified sampling technique. A total of 205 questionnaires were retrieved and ANOVA was conducted for data analysis. The present findings revealed that there was no statistically significant differences of the TVET teachers’ perceptions across the three categorises of Nigerian tertiary institutions in terms of Thinking Competency, Organisational Competency, and Application Competency. This outcome reflects that the competency model (MHRDP) can be used by TVET teachers regardless of their affiliated TVET institutions.

Reforming Teacher Education for Inclusion in Developing Countries in the Asia-Pacific Region - Sharma, Umesh; Forlin, Chris; Deppeler, Joanne; Guang-xue, Yang
A number of Asian Pacific countries have ratified the UN Conventions on the Rights of People with Disabilities and have identified an urgent need to include children with special educational needs in regular school programs. Successful implementation of such a policy reform requires significant changes in the way education is provided to all students, but most importantly depends upon how adequately the teachers and related professionals are prepared to implement the reform. This paper reviews research from 13 Asian Pacific countries, undertaken in the last five years, to address two questions. First it reports on the issues, challenges, and proposals related to inclusive education in these countries. Second the review reports on how each region has progressed towards implementing the Millennium Development Goals with particular emphasis on how teacher education has or has not responded to this. The review concludes that a lack of well thought out policy, few resources, and limited understanding of inclusion seems widespread in the Asia-Pacific region. As yet special education and related service expertise and teacher education for inclusion, is not in place to support teachers to work inclusively.

Resisting Dehumanizing Assessments: Enacting Critical Humanizing Pedagogies in Online Teacher Education - Shelton, Catharyn; Aguilera, Earl; Gleason, Benjamin; Mehta, Rohit (2020)
With the shift to online learning in the wake of COVID-19, teacher educators (TEs) risk becoming swept up in a “cult of efficiency” that can dehumanize the learning process for teachers and students. In this chapter, we share how we, four TEs, use new technologies to implement critical humanizing pedagogies. This involves pushing beyond purely cognitive approaches, while reflexively addressing issues of power, access, and representation with emphasis on valuing voices historically subjected to colonizing educational practices. Specifically, we discuss our approach to online assessments, focusing on meaning-making, connecting to social realities, and engaging multimodality. We close the chapter by offering a set of guiding questions and technology tools that may help TEs (re)designing their own online assessments with students’ humanity in mind.

Understanding Sierra Leonean and Liberian teachers’ views on discussing past wars in their classrooms - Shepler, Susan; Williams, James H. (Comparative Education, 2017)
Various curricular and textbook initiatives exist to aid in the national processes of coming to terms with past violence, often serving the political goals of the victors, sometimes supported by international transitional justice institutions. Sierra Leone and Liberia each experienced a devastating civil war during the 1990s and into the 2000s, and each is struggling to rebuild shattered education systems. In addition, each country has experienced a set of post-conflict transitional justice initiatives: Truth and Reconciliation Commissions in each, and a Special Court for Sierra Leone. Although their respective ministries of education have attempted to address peace education through UNICEF-sponsored curriculum revision processes, those efforts have not yet reached the majority of serving teachers, so a discussion of teachers’ actual practices is vital. This article uses interviews with teachers in rural and urban Sierra Leone and Liberia to discuss whether and how teachers talk about past war in their classrooms; whether they think it is important to discuss past conflicts, and if so, why; and what kind of curricular support would help them better teach about the wars. The article discusses how and why teachers embrace or subvert official efforts through their classroom practices, and compares the Sierra Leone and Liberia contexts and results. This research will help us to understand teachers’ own perspectives on addressing past conflict in their classrooms, and perhaps help policy-makers better implement their peace education initiatives.

Introducing mobile technology for enhancing teaching and learning in Bangladesh: teacher perspectives - Shohel, M. Mahruf C.; Power, Tom (Open Learning: The Journal of Open, Distance and e-Learning, 2010)
This paper reviews the themes emerging from Bangladeshi teachers’ experiences of taking part in the initial research and the development stage of a professional development programme they were involved with. The Secondary Teaching and Learning Programme is an information and communications technologies‐enhanced supported open distance learning programme of professional development in English‐language teaching. This paper presents evidence arising from semi‐structured interviews carried out with teachers from a pre‐pilot study for the English in Action project. The teachers participating in this study reflect upon six months’ experience of using professional development materials (course material of audio podcasts enhanced with text and images; videos of classroom practice; audio of classroom language) and classroom resources (audio recordings of text‐book reading passages, songs, poems and stories), all accessed via portable digital media players (iPods).

Are teachers agents of change? Teacher training and the gender dimension in adult education: Italy and Nigeria in comparison - Simeon-Fayomi, Bolanle Clara; Guerrini, Valentina; Tonelli, Denise (2020)
Adult education can play a fundamental role in changing existing gender hierarchies, breaking down gender stereotypes, and promoting gender equality. Teachers can be important agents of change, but they not only have to be aware of their behaviours, attitudes, and views, they also have to be able to understand the specific needs and interests of learners, to use gender-based methods, and to implement practices free of gender stereotypes. In order to do this, adequate education and training are needed, but both in Italy and Nigeria, gender issues are not part of the education and training curriculum, and much remains to be done for raising awareness of this issue.

Characteristics of effective teacher professional development: what we know, what we don’t, how we can find out - Sims, Sam; Fletcher-Wood, Harry (2018)
Several influential reviews and one meta-review have converged on the position that teacher professional development (PD) is more effective when it is: sustained, collaborative, subjectspecific, draws on external expertise, has buy-in from teachers and is practice-based. This consensus view has now been incorporated in government policy and official guidance in several countries. Despite this, several recent PD programmes incorporating these characteristics have failed to have any detectable impact on pupil attainment. This article reviews the evidence underpinning the consensus, arguing that the reviews on which it based are methodologically flawed because they employ inappropriate exclusion criteria and depend on an invalid inference method. The consensus view is therefore likely to be inaccurate. Researchers would make more progress on identifying characteristics of effective professional development by looking for alignment between evidence from basic research on human skill acquisition and features of rigorously-evaluated PD interventions.

Identifying the characteristics of effective teacher professional development: a critical review - Sims, Sam; Fletcher-Wood, Harry (School Effectiveness and School Improvement, 2021)
Several inﬂuential reviews and two meta-reviews have converged on the position that teacher professional development (PD) is more eﬀective when it is sustained, collaborative, subject speciﬁc, draws on external expertise, has buy-in from teachers, and is practice based. This consensus view has now been incorporated in government policy and oﬃcial guidance in several countries. This paper reassesses the evidence underpinning the consensus, arguing that the reviews on which it is based have important methodological weaknesses, in that they employ inappropriate inclusion criteria and depend on an invalid inference method. The consensus view is therefore likely to be inaccurate. It is argued that researchers would make more progress identifying characteristics of eﬀective professional development by looking for alignment between evidence from basic research on human skill acquisition and features of rigorously evaluated PD interventions.

A Typology of Professional Learning Communities (PLC) for Sub-Saharan Africa: A Case study of Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, and Nigeria - Soares, Fernanda; Galisson, Kirsten; Laar, Mindel van de (African Journal of Teacher Education, 2020)
In the bid to improve teaching quality and promote an approach to teacher development that is grounded in the context in which teachers are inserted, Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) have become a popular alternative model of teacher professional development in many countries. PLCs, however, have been more widely studied in high-resource contexts. In a recognition that existing conceptualizations from the Western literature may not reflect how PLCs are functioning in developing countries, this research aims to inductively create a typology of PLCs that incorporates elements that might be specific to these countries, with a focus on Sub-Saharan Africa in general and based on the cases of Equatorial Guinea, Ghana and Nigeria in particular. This study employs a multimethod approach, encompassing document analysis, semi-structured interviews with PLC experts and expert validation. The resulting typology categorizes PLCs into three models - autonomous, structured and scripted. This typology of PLCs is further integrated with dimensions previously proposed by the Western literature to form one cohesive conceptual framework. By acknowledging PLC variability, we are able to incorporate into a framework modes of PLC operation that are specific to our case countries, and possibly to Sub-Saharan African and low- and middle-income countries more generally.

Guided interaction as intercultural learning: designing internationalisation into a mixed delivery teacher education programme - Spiro, Jane (Higher Education Research and Development, 2011)
In this paper the process of building an international student community is explored. Strategies discussed include guided interaction within a virtual environment between home students studying in their own culture and international students studying at a distance. The context includes both the state and private sector in South East Asia, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East. The subject is a Master of Arts in Education for practising in-service teachers of English. Through exchanging teacher narratives, students identify shared concerns and values about their profession and recognise connections with their peers in apparently widely different cultural settings. Student and tutor evaluations suggest that participants developed the competence of recognising connections between their own meanings and behaviours and those of others. They also deconstructed their assumptions and unexamined beliefs through engagement with others. The paper concludes by analysing how these competences impacted on the self-knowledge and practice of the participants, and suggests the generative principles which made this learning effective.

Cultivating a personal learning network that leads to professional change - Stewart, Benjamin L. (Northcentral University, 2015)
Teacher professional development opportunities in Mexico are currently lacking. The traditional approaches of professional development such as workshops and conferences are commonplace but do little to bridge the gap between abstract concepts about teaching and learning and the practicalities teachers face in the classroom. The purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to describe how ideas, materials, and social interactions form a PLN through online, informal pedagogical dialogues among English language educators as it relates to professional learning. The five participants of this study were selected from a total of 10 based on their willingness to complete an informed consent form, complete an initial online survey, interact with other professionals publically online, and participate in a final interview. The online survey contained demographic information about each case and included both open and closed items; a content analysis was done on public interactions that tool place online; and a final in-depth interview used open questions to inquire about how respective PLNs changed over time. All data was coded, categorized, and placed into themes based on the ideational, material, and social aspects of each PLN. The findings show that professional knowledge, skills sets, and overall dispositions emerge in unique ways based on how ideas, technologies, and personal contacts interrelate with each other over time, and that an individual’s PLN provides unanticipated benefits when sharing publicly online.

Teacher Learning Circles: Reading Theory in Practice Through Dialogue - Suda, L. (2007)
The research suggests that teachers need to keep abreast of new ideas about student learning and effective strategies for enhancing that learning, and that professional learning is an essential aspect of improving practice at the classroom level. Furthermore, the evidence suggests that traditional approaches to professional development, usually delivered away from the school and focusing on teacher needs and development rather than student learning, have little impact on practice unless they are explicitly followed up through application in the classroom.

A tale of two communication tools: discussion-forum and mobile instant-messaging apps in collaborative learning - Sun, Zhong; Lin, Chin-Hsi; Wu, Minhua; Zhou, Jianshe; Luo, Liming (British Journal of Educational Technology, 2018)
Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) has shown considerable promise, but thus far the literature has tended to focus on individual technological tools, without due regard for how the choice of one such tool over another impacts CSCL, either in outline or in detail. The present study, therefore, directly compared the learning-related uses of an online discussion forum against such use of a mobile instant-messaging app by the same group of 78 upper-division undergraduate pre-service teachers in China. The participants were asked to use one of the two communication tools during the first of three learning activities, then to switch to the other during the second, and to choose their preferred tool for the third. Based on the results of content analysis, social-network analysis and a survey of the students' attitudes, it was found that while both tools facilitated collaborative learning, they appeared to have different affordances. Specifically, using the online discussion forum resulted in more communication aimed at knowledge construction, while using the mobile instant-messaging app resulted in more social interactions.

Insights on ESL student teachers reflecting collaboratively online - Suppiah, Shubashini; Wah, (PhD), Lee Kean; Swanto, (PhD), Suyansah; Lajium, (PhD), Denis Andrew (The English Teacher, 2019)
The concept of a collaborative based reflective practice approach is grounded within the theoretical argument that critical reflection can be fostered through the presence of the "knowledgeable other" (Vygotsky, 1978). The present study was a pilot initiative in utilizing EDMODO (a closed educational learning management system) as a platform to explore reflection in a communal approach within a group of pre-service ESL teachers and their teacher educator mentor during a teaching practice placement in the context of the TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) degree programme in an institute of teacher education (ITE) in Malaysia. The aims of the study are: (1) to examine the nature of the online reflection posts; and (2) to explore the nature of interactions that occurred online and the extent it supported collaborative reflection practices. The study employed a qualitative case study design in which five pre-service teachers (n=5) and their teacher educator mentor used EDMODO to post their reflections and carry out discussions for four weeks (n=4). The sources of data were the online reflection posts, the threaded discussion posts and a semi-structured group interview. Despite initial ambiguities and constraints, the EDMODO learning site as a platform for reflective practice showed positive results in that it allowed collaboration and dialogue to take place. Nevertheless, the facilitation of the reflection process requires further inquiry. The findings of the study suggest the need to establish a more systematic and structured approach when fostering critical reflection practices in a communal setting.

Digital literacies for international teacher education: a Ghanaian perspective - Taner, Lisa (The Open University, 2018)
Teacher education in Sub Saharan Africa has been highlighted as key in helping to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education across the continent. Digital technologies that support new modes of teacher education can improve access and quality in developing regions (Moon and Villet, 2017a, b; Moon, 2007; Power, 2013), however little is known about how teachers develop digital literacies to enable them to effectively use these new resources, nor the ways in which student teachers are introduced to the technologies they need to support their professional development. Given the scarcity of research in this area and with teacher support and preparation having been the least examined topics in mobile learning research, this project investigated the ways in which student teachers in one College of Education in Ghana participate in learning experiences that develop their digital literacies to support their professional development throughout the college course, both on campus and in school placements. Using ethnographic approaches within a sociocultural theoretical rationale, the aim of this research was to address the gap in literature by examining the ways in which student teachers participate in learning experiences that develop their digital literacies during their training at a College of Education in Ghana. In view of the slow pace of ICT infrastructure advancement in Ghanaian schools, tutors at one college of education are encouraging the use of student teachers’ personal devices such as mobile phones to support their professional learning, both on campus and in the absence of other equipment in school placements. Smartphone use was found to be an enabling tool for students, whose formal and informal use of communication tools such as WhatsApp supported their developing professionalism and gave them access to new ways to locate and use materials for teaching and their wider professional development, including the academic requirements of their courses.

Social Justice and K-12 Teachers’ Effective Use of OER: A Cross-Cultural Comparison by Nations - Tang, Hengtao; Bao, Yu (Journal of Interactive Media in Education, 2020)
Open educational resources (OER) have the potential to promote social justice imperatives in education, but because of the uneven provision of technical infrastructure across different countries, it remains uncertain whether the people who need OER the most are its primary beneficiaries. In K-12 education, educators play a major role in the effort to incorporate OER into classroom teaching but, even if they are able to source such resources (overcoming the “first-level digital divide”), many lack the practical capacity to effectively use (e.g., adapt) OER (the “second-level digital divide”). This exploratory research paper employs a cross-cultural perspective to interrogate how the second-level digital divide shapes K-12 teachers’ effective use of OER. With the goal of understanding how this divide influences OERs’ potential to enhance social justice, this research attempts to identify the factors accounting for teachers’ effective use of OER – and any reception gap – between different countries by conducting a series of stepwise logistic regressions applied to a largescale survey of K-12 educators. It does so by assessing OER use amongst 675 K-12 educators around the world in relation to their developmental and cultural contexts, as expressed through the Human Development Index, the Gender Development Index, and Hofstede’s six dimensions of national culture. The findings of this exploratory study provide new insights to support OER adoption in K-12 settings worldwide from a cultural perspective.

Using the Capability Approach to improve female teacher deployment to rural schools in Nigeria - Tao, Sharon (International Journal of Educational Development, 2014)
This study focuses on the socio-cultural and institutional factors that affect female teacher deployment in rural primary schools in Nigeria. In Kwara State, there are extreme imbalances in teacher distribution between rural and urban areas due to female teachers’ active avoidance and/or attrition from rural posts. Given these problems, this article discusses an innovative use of the Capability Approach that informed a rural teacher deployment policy that addressed a number of issues that were specifically identified through female teachers’ values and lived experiences. This research not only had the positive analytical and political effects of prioritising the knowledge, participation and empowerment of female teachers; but it also provided a more fine-grained and holistic understanding of issues hindering effective deployment and retention of female Nigerian teachers, which informed the development of comprehensive and relevant strategies to address these.

Conceptual understanding of definite integral with GeoGebra - Tatar, Enver; Zengin, Yilmaz (Computers in the Schools, 2016)
This study aimed to determine the effect of a computer-assisted instruction method using GeoGebra on achievement of prospective secondary mathematics teachers in the definite integral topic and to determine their opinions about this method. The study group consisted of 35 prospective secondary mathematics teachers studying in the mathematics education program at a state university in Turkey. The study was carried out using an embedded design, and the Definite Integral Knowledge Test and an opinion form were used for data collection. Upon analyzing the data, the computer-assisted instruction method using GeoGebra was found to positively contribute to the success of teaching the definite integral topic. Prospective teachers stated that this method should be used in math courses as it creates a fun and interesting environment with dynamic learning elements, provides visualization and opportunities to learn mathematics through practice and exercises, enables thorough understanding and explication of skills, and makes way for conceptual learning instead of memorizing. Furthermore, this study was found to facilitate conceptual learning of the relationship between the lower sum, upper sum and Riemann sum.

Antecedents and consequences of active procrastination and mediation effect of self-regulation strategies among pre-service teachers in colleges of education in Nigeria - Taura, Ali Abdullahi (2014)
This study examined motivational beliefs (self-efficacy, intrinsic goal orientation, extrinsic goal orientation, task value, and test anxiety), perfectionism and selfregulation as predictors of active procrastination among pre-service teachers in colleges of education in Nigeria. In addition, the study investigated the mediating role of self-regulation in the relationship between motivational beliefs, perfectionism and active procrastination. A total of 426 pre-service teachers (223 males, 203 females) participated in the study. A set of self-report questionnaire was used to measure the participants’ levels of procrastination, motivational beliefs, perfectionism and self-regulation. Structural equation modelling (SEM) using AMOS and SPSS software was employed as statistical technique for data analysis of the study. The findings of the study based on the output structural model, which overall goodness-of-fit indices indicate good model fit, revealed that motivational beliefs and perfectionism were not direct significant predictors of active procrastination, and active procrastination, in turn, was not found to be a significant predictor of academic achievement. However, mediation analysis, conducted in the active procrastination model of pre-service teachers, indicated that there was an evidence of indirect effects of the motivational beliefs variables and perfectionism on active procrastination through self-regulation strategies. Test of mediation by bootstrapping method established significant mediating role of self-regulation in the relationship between self-efficacy, extrinsic goal orientation, task value, test anxiety, perfectionism and active procrastination. In conclusion, the findings of the study underscore the importance of self-regulation in procrastination research. This is for the fact that self-regulation strategies were found to have considerable influence in the relationships between the predictor (self-efficacy, extrinsic goal orientation, task value, test anxiety, perfectionism) and the outcome (active procrastination) variables as well as the academic achievement of active procrastinators. In other words, active procrastination fails to explain academic achievement except through self-regulation strategies as mediator. This suggests that the reason active procrastinators can obtain satisfactory outcomes might be derived not from active procrastination itself but from their ability to apply self-regulation strategies. Thus, the findings lend a strong support to one of the general assumptions of the theory of self-regulated learning that self-regulatory activities serve as mediators between personal and contextual characteristics and actual achievement or performance. Theoretical and practical implications of the study, in addition to recommendation for future research, have been offered. For instance, as the findings of this study revealed, self-regulation is a key to understanding procrastination. Hence, the focus of future research should be on examining students’ ability to self-regulate and, therefore, procrastinate actively for successful learning and better performance.

Training and Supervision as Predictors of Business Teachers’ Job Performance for Policy and Practice in Nigerian Secondary Schools - Tijani, Abdulganiyu Adebayo (Texila international journal of academic research, 2021)
This study investigated training and supervision as predictors of Business Teachers' Job Performance in Nigerian Public Secondary Schools. A Descriptive research design of correlation types was adopted for the study. The population consisted of the entire 1,500 Business related subject teachers from four states in the North Central Geo-Political Zone of Nigeria. 550 samples were purposely selected as the respondents from 20 schools using proportional sampling techniques. A Structured questionnaire was purposely used to collect relevant data from the respondents. However, the checklist was used to collect WAEC/SSCE results of the sampled schools. The validity of the instrument was done by three experts from the Department of Business Education, Kwara State University. The reliability coefficient of 0.71 was obtained through a split-half method. The two research questions stated were answered using percentages and cumulative frequency statistical method, while the three hypotheses generated were tested using multiple regression analysis. The finding of the study revealed the poor performance of a student in Business-related subjects. However, there was a moderate level of Business Teacher job performance. Also, both training and supervision were discovered to be the predictors of Business Teacher Job Performance in Nigeria Public Secondary Schools. Regular capacity building such as workshops and conferences were recommended for the Teachers in addition to the regular external and internal supervision. The Government should also supply the necessary teaching facilities to help the teachers improve on teaching and learning.

ASSESSING TECHNICAL TEACHERS’ PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING IN POLYTECHNICS IN THE NORTH EASTERN STATES OF NIGERIA - Tumba, Ishaya; Michika, Mohammed Usman (2014)
This study was designed to assess the level of preparedness of technical teachers to use information and communication technology facilities for teaching in Polytechnics in the North Eastern States of Nigeria. The study adopted descriptive survey research design to collect opinions of technical teachers on their professional development in information and communication technology and their exposure to information and communication technology facilities used for teaching. A 5-point researcher made questionnaire was used for data collection. The instrument was validated by two experts in information and communication technology and it was also pilot tested on nine polytechnic teachers after which a reliability coefficient of 0.98 was estimated. Two research questions were raised and one hypothesis propounded. The study revealed that technical teachers teaching in polytechnics in the North Eastern States of Nigeria possess moderate professional development and exposure to information and communication technology facilities. This implies that the teachers need further training on information and communication technology facilities used in the classroom. It was then recommended that employers of the teachers should send them on in-service training in information and communication technology and to also put in place adequate information and communication technology facilities for instructional purpose. The study suggested further studies to investigate the teachers’ level of competency in using information and communication technology in the classroom.

Moving education into the digital age: the contribution of teachers’ professional development - Twining, P.; Raffaghelli, J.; Albion, P.; Knezek, D. (Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2013)
This article introduces the main outcomes of discussions at EDUsummIT 2011 by the specific Technical Working Group on Teacher Professional Development (TWG3). The focus was to explore how professional development of teachers may ensure that teachers are better prepared to use information and communication technology (ICT) to promote 21st century learning. The article is organized into three main sections: a review of key literature on professional development of teachers (TPD), in general and with specific reference to ICT; a summary of the key points emerging from TWG3's discussions; and recommendations for action. On the basis of discussions held within the TWG3, the authors concluded that effective TPD requires changes at several levels of educational systems (political, institutional and individual), and that ICTs should be seen as an opportunity for introducing new goals, structures and roles that support these changes. It is significant that while many of the issues highlighted by the group are well established, addressing them continues to be problematic globally.

Teacher Professional Development at a Tsunami-Affected School in Banda Aceh - Ubit, Fadliadi; Bartholomaeus, Pam (International Education Journal: Comparative Perspectives, 2018)
The 2004 tsunami in Aceh resulted in significant post-disaster problems which extended far beyond the loss of possessions and infrastructure destruction. In addition to having to deal with their own problems as a consequence of the tsunami, teachers were faced with the additional problems arising from working with children who had been exposed to the traumatic event. Teacher professional development was regarded as an important support mechanism to help teachers in this period. Findings from a qualitative study conducted in one school affected by the tsunami in Banda Aceh provided evidence that teachers indeed needed professional development that went beyond enhancing their knowledge and skills to teach their subjects to working with young people affected by the traumatic event. This paper discusses teacher professional development, focusing on the five criteria for effective professional development proposed by Desimone.
