• W431651738 abstract "This was a study in Papua New Guinea (PNG) of the planning and implementation of anew three-year teacher education programme, the Diploma in Teaching (Primary). Whatthe indigenous staff in the nine residential colleges did to introduce the programmebetween 1991 and 1993, was seen at the outset by the writer to be an importantculmination of all that preceded the innovation. The context, therefore, is detailedhistorically for the 50 years from 1946 to 1996, indicating teacher training and teachereducation policy development, the process of staff localisation (indigenisation) and collegeprogramme evolution.The pioneering work of indigenous PNG school teachers was a significant contribution tothe country's development, consequently the way they were prepared for their work androles was a useful investigation. The need for education was apparent as the training andemployment of indigenous people accelerated at all levels in the workforce. PoliticalIndependence in 1975 heralded withdrawal of many Australian Public Servants. PapuaNew Guinea's contacts with the wider world were assisted by those proficient in theEnglish language and modernisation demanded 'international standards', a term used by aPrime Minister, Sir Julius Chan. All of the changes over fifty years required a person tobe educated differently than before.The study involved collecting data through multi-site and multi-method means as follows:Observations and interviews of lecturers in colleges and a survey with administrators atthe end of the first year of the Diploma implementation; an analysis of staff reports,which had been written in each of the three years, and an examination of the responses toa questionnaire sent to colleges at the time of the graduation of their first Diploma cohort.The instruments were designed for this study. The historical data were located in a rangeof official and private documents, and secondary sources, as well as conversations withpeople who earlier served in PNG (and personal experience). The analysis fitted togetherthe story of teacher education in Papua and New Guinea. It is written mainly from agovernment policy perspective although data included material from college staff,Christian church agencies, universities and involved national, provincial and internationalgroups and individuals. Limitations to the study may be partly associated with paucity ofaccess to official records and transient key actors due to a 'developing country' situation.In terms of findings of the study data show that new policies need to be clear if they are to be implemented as planned and adopted not adapted; the possibility in a joint workingrelationship of tensions between Church agency goals and Government objectives andresponsibilities; cross-cultural communication is a requirement and can never be assumedto be effective; assistance for a young country needs to start from where it sees itself;dissonant events and timing between host country and donor agency require nonthreateningprocesses for adjustment and timing of intervention is important; the fragilityof modem structures needs to be taken into account when planning change; ownership iscrucial to meaningful participation by a developing country; a vision for change needs tobe clarified with the teacher before commencement as failure to do so results ininterpretation and action even more varied than normal; in a culture where criticism is notnormally in public or the classroom, educational research documents, even ifconstructively critical, may not be read and there is a need for understanding continuity,overall policy formulation and coordination of implementation.The thesis may assist volunteer staff agencies recruiting for a developing country setting,teacher educators, policy-makers, external funding agencies, indigenous leaders andhistorians." @default.
