The research grant is supported by the International Research Development Centre (IDRC), Canada.
The consortium is a South-South collaboration of higher education institutions that aims to address the global undersupply of quality STEM teachers.
project Activities
The project activities will be carried out in four thematic phases: Knowledge Transfer and Capacity Building, Situational Analysis Study (SAS), Research and Knowledge Generation, and Knowledge Dissemination and Scalability. During the knowledge transfer phase, TISS consultants trained STEM teacher educators at SCE in the curation of OERs incorporating TPACK, UDL, Inclusive pedagogies, and Design Thinking. Similarly, teacher educators were trained in the establishment and management of CoPs for the professional development of school STEM teachers and the design and adaptation of research tools for various research activities.
