This document reports on a research and development project (ODA project ref 5052) to develop and evaluate learning materials using a technological approach to science education and an INSET package designed to introduce these to teaching. The evaluation aimed to identify effective INSET strategies in terms of changes in teacher perceptions and student learning outcomes. Support has been given at various stages of the project by a number of people and organisations.
In addition to ODA funding the project has had financial support from The British Council (Mbabane), Swaziland Educational Research Association (SERA), and the Universities of York and Swaziland. We are grateful for the financial input from each of these sources.
We thank Robin Millar and David Waddington from the University of York for their assistance with the formulation of the project. We are also grateful to Sipho Dlamini, Bongi Putsoa and Dan Mavuso, who shared their experience with the use of contextualised and application-focused teaching materials during the writing and dissemination workshops. The input of in-service science specialists Lawrence Manana (South Africa), Funja O-saki (Tanzania), Thabiso Sephalane (Lesotho) and Partson Shanyinde (Zambia) as peer-reviewers of the INSET manual was invaluable. We particularly acknowledge the enthusiasm of teachers and students who worked with the Matsapha materials and willingly provided us with their views.
