Efficacy of continuous professional development training on Rwandan upper primary teacher’s content knowledge in Mathematics and Science and Elementary Technology Subjects
Abstract
The current study seeks to evaluate the Content Knowledge (CK) of Mathematics and Science and Elementary Technology (SET) upper primary teachers who received Continuous Professional Development training on Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) offered by Rwanda Quality Basic Education for Human Capital Development (RQBEHCD) project. The study adopted a quasi-experimental design. The achievement tests were used to collect data from 290 trained teachers including 166 males and 124 females. A Repeated measures ANOVA was used to analyze whether or not there is a statistically significant difference in the mean score between pre and post-test, male, female, and working experience. Results revealed that the intervention increased content knowledge of teachers in both subjects but there was no difference between male, female, and working experience. Therefore, the study recommends Mathematics and SET teachers conduct CPD in their respective departments.
