Review of Enhancing primary science teaching through school-based mentors: A study from Pakistan

Abstract

Enhancing Primary Science Teaching Through School-based Mentors: A Study from Pakistan is a practical guide for teachers, mentors, and teacher educators for their professional journey. In response to the dire need for enhancing the quality of primary education in Pakistan, author Nelofer Halai has provided an indigenous model of teacher education as a viable route to achieving this goal. Dr. Nelofer Halai is a Professor at Aga Khan University – Institute for Education Development (AKU-IED), Karachi, Pakistan. Her 25-year long association with educational research, teacher development, and science education is evident in her writings. Like her other publications in refereed journals and books, this work is based on field-stories analyzed using a grounded theory framework. Hence, this book helps the readers to understand the contextual dynamics and practical approaches for teacher development in rural Sindh-Pakistan rather than merely focusing on borrowed models from the West.
