Title
Designing Teacher Learning Circles for Improved Foundational Numeracy Outcomes: Findings from the National Numeracy Programme in Malawi
Abstract
The Malawi National Numeracy Programme (NNP) was designed in 2020 in partnership with the Malawi Ministry of Education and Cambridge Education (Mott McDonald), funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). Building on findings from a prior qualitative review of the NNP's programme components, EdTech Hub proposed a new phase of design-based implementation research (DBIR) to be undertaken in Term 2 of the 2022–2023 school year to refine the school-based teacher continuous professional development (TCPD) model of the NNP. As part of the research, EdTech Hub developed a new TLC guide to be tested in schools. Through observations, focus group discussions, and interviews, the Hub gathered teacher feedback and used it to co-design and iterate on this guide alongside teachers. This report summarises the principal findings from the study. It also outlines the research background, methodology, findings, and recommendations for the programme moving forward.
