Large Class Pedagogy in Low-Income Contexts: Exploring Methods with Teachers in Malawi

Project details

The project is being implemented in collaboration with a team from Florida State University (FSU) with financial support from the 2024 SEED Award from the Council on Research & Creativity at FSU, which began in August 2024. The Large Class Pedagogy research project will use a mixed-methods exploratory approach to investigate instructional practices utilized by teachers in overcrowded classrooms in Malawi and develop profiles of teachers who can effectively manage teaching large classes. The purpose of this research is to determine what effective instructional methods are in use in low-resource classrooms with more than 80 children to inform later intervention research.
