Research Group Activity

Several research studies are underway as part of the Kenyatta University-Syracuse University Partnership. One group is examining student teacher, cooperating teacher, principal, and university supervisor perceptions of the preparedness of KU student teachers for meeting the challenges of classroom teaching. This group is collecting data through questionnaires. Another group is investigating Kenyan secondary teachers’ integration of technology in their teaching. They are collecting data through teacher questionnaires and classroom observations. A third group is examining English language norms in Kenyan secondary classrooms. Their data collection consists of questionnaires and classroom observations. We expect that results from these studies will be presented at the 3rd International Conference on Education to be held at Kenyatta University July 10-12, 2013.
