Democracy and Teacher Education: Negotiating Practice in The Gambia.
Schweisfurth, Michele
Comparative Education, v38 n3 p303-14 Aug 2002
A 2-year British project aimed to foster greater understanding and skills in democratic education among lecturers and students at the School of Education, The Gambia College (Gambia). Project workshops were very well received and appeared to affect participant attitudes but had widely varying impacts on classroom behaviors and school culture. The ethics and effectiveness of such cross-cultural interventions are discussed. (SV)
