Teacher Training during Covid-19: A Case Study of the Virtual STEM Project in Africa

Abstract

The Virtual STEM project was carried out in two countries – Nigeria and Kenya by Co-creation Hub (CcHub) Africa’s largest innovation institute. The Virtual STEM training program was aimed at providing support to train and educate in-service and pre-service teachers with the right skills, tools and teaching methodology while integrating the IBL approach to foster the continuous learning for their students while at home and in turn support teachers’ development. The goal of this research is to examine the impact of the programme and to evaluate the effectiveness of the project approach in delivering remote teaching training activities.
