Includes bibliographical references (p. 93-99). Current science education stakeholders such as Sadler (2006) and Supovitz and Turner, (2000) emphasize the importance of teachers' professional development as a means of improving student level of enrollment and achievement in sciences. The provision of in-service education and training (INSET) programmes, as a consequence, have come to constitute a critical area of investment for almost all educational systems in order to improve the teaching and learning of sciences. In order to maximize the trustworthiness of the research findings, this study employed a mixed methods approach (deductive and inductive) to examine the availability and value of INSET programmes for secondary school physical science teachers in Malawi. The study's site was Blantyre, one of the major cities in Malawi. A survey questionnaire administered to 49 physical science teachers constituted the main data collection instrument. The participants were randomly selected from 12 secondary schools across Blantyre City. Informal classroom observations of four teachers selected from the 49 teachers who responded to the survey questionnaire were done to confirm or query the results of the questionnaire. 2015-01-10T06:55:27Z 2015-01-10T06:55:27Z 2009 Master Thesis Masters MEd http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11907 eng application/pdf School of Education Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
