This paper illustrates how a concrete, research-informed school-based, model of professional development in sub-Saharan Africa can address the quality agenda. It reports on a trial of a pioneering, multimedia programme supporting interactive mathematics and science teaching using open educational resources and classroom digital technology, where available. The programme was carefully adapted to the Zambian context and ran weekly for one school year with 12 teachers in a low-resourced primary school. The study examined the impact on teachers' thinking and classroom practices. Data were derived from observations, lesson and workshop recordings, teacher interviews, portfolios and audio diaries. Through a teacher-led workshop approach and trialling new pedagogical strategies, teachers raised their expectations of pupils, adapted to learners’ knowledge levels, used more practical and group work, and integrated technology use. Pupils built deeper understanding of subject matter, were actively engaged, worked collaboratively and used digital technologies for problem-solving.}, language = {en}, number = {4}, journal = {Research Papers in Education}, author = {Hennessy, Sara and Haßler, Björn and Hofmann, R.}, month = aug, year = {2016}, note = {shortDOI: 10/gftr46 KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 10.1080/02671522.2015.1073343 10/gftr46 10/ghgnfx 2129771:4DDI7MD4 2129771:CPWUEHPK 2129771:DLXY6Q8J 2129771:QGHFB3QL 2129771:WHB6UUT9 2339240:8PZIPSBY 2339240:ASBRKMNU 2339240:UTDG7DWR 2339240:VBAD27XQ 2405685:C677I5RF 2405685:CHHQANDG 2405685:CSCFPKV2 2405685:F6292I9Z 2405685:LDKZC9TP 2405685:NAJLZ3FE 2405685:NK5HW6CV 2405685:R5KQR27A 2405685:S9FRC57W 2405685:VZ562RQX 2405685:YBR4RYHA 2534378:4NJUGCID 2534378:E2PEHWQT 2534378:GGBWWEIN 2534378:HQ26LIRW 2534378:QVE8VZAZ 2534378:Z7EEHWT2 257089:AGK9WB3X 257089:FXEJEAA9 261451:ENUVRNA2 261495:4NPFWURU 261495:YIZHH9Z5}, keywords = {C:sub-Saharan Africa, CAREER development, EDUCATION -- Study \& teaching, GRADUATE education, PROFESSIONAL education, TEACHER training, ZAMBIA, Zambia, \_\_:import:01, \_\_:match:final, \_\_:matched, \_\_:study\_id:2099887, \_\_\_working\_potential\_duplicate, \_\_finaldtb, digital technology, docs.opendeved.net, dode\_eth-src-dode, dode\_eth-trf2-dode, interactive pedagogy, open educational resources, sub-Saharan Africa, teacher professional development}, pages = {399--427}, }
