Action Research and the Transfer of Reflective Approaches to In-Service Education and Training (INSET) for Unqualified and Underqualified Teachers in Namibia.
O'Sullivan, Margo C.
Teaching and Teacher Education, v18 n5 p523-39 Jul 2002
Explored efforts, within an action research study of a 3- year Inservice Education and Training (INSET) program, to implement reflective approaches in training unqualified and underqualified elementary teachers in Namibia. Results found that western approaches to teacher reflection could not be used productively with Namibian teachers unless there was some adaptation of the process. Implications for educational reformers, expatriate advisors, INSET providers, and researchers are noted. (SM)
