The study attempted to evaluate the newly designed training
module for teachers who are teaching English in class three, four,
and five of BRAC NFPE schools. With the knowledge of BRAC
graduates' relative weakness in English when they join the
Government Formal Schools, the Materials Development Unit (MDU)
has made a concerted effort in addressing this issue concerning
English teaching. Also, MDU's goal entailed a plan to break away
from the top down model of training, traditionally followed. The study
aimed to see how much of these goals have been met, what are the
problems involved, and how to address those.
A teachers guide has been developed based on the Class III
Textbook, which delineates six steps in teaching English. The guide
provides step by step instruction in teaching English. The study was
undertaken at the initial stage of the training process. MDU has been
selecting and training a group of Master Trainers. The Master
Trainers then have been training the field staff, and finally the field
staff have been providing the same to the teachers through the
monthly refreshers.
Since the training schedule involved several stages, the most
important issue was to find out how much of the dissemination has
been happening in a standardized way, and the impact of training on
the trainees, particularly the teachers, who are the gatekeepers of
successful implementation. The impact of training can be generally
located in two domains, i.e., cognitive and affective. Training helps to
improve the knowledge base of a subject, and also the trainees do
have an emotional response towards the training. The study
attempted to explore both the domains.
By using a variety of instruments like opinion questionnaires,
group discussions, observations, and tests, the researchers tried to
derive the impact of this training on all concerned, particularly the
teachers, who are the final recipients and gatekeepers of successful
implementation. |
