Using ICT for teacher professional development in Namibia
Burns, Mary
This report examines Namibia's Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for Teacher Professional Development (TPD) efforts thus far. It first describes the elements with which the foundation for ICT in education has been built in Namibia. It then looks at some of the ways in which ICT has been used for teacher professional development in the present and recent past. And it concludes with an analysis of obstacles and challenges for the successful establishment of ICT in teacher professional development in Namibia. Namibia has achieved much of the 'first wave' in ICT development partnerships with telecoms and IT vendors have been established; hardware and connectivity provided to schools and teachers colleges; technology training provided to National Institute for Educational Development (NIED) staff, instructors at teachers colleges and many primary and secondary school teachers; national primary school curriculum revision; and an advocacy of and push toward instruction that redefines the role of teachers and students in light of the potential of ICT in education.
