Adekola, Olatunde A.2012-05-312012-05-3120070-8213-7048-0https://hdl.handle.net/10986/6737Language, Literacy, and Learning in Primary Schools is a synthesis of the findings arising from four years of policy research and development in Nigeria's primary schools that focused on the gap between what teachers should know and be able to do, and the realities of teaching and learning in classrooms. It begins by critically examining the outcomes of primary schooling as measured by learning achievement results from national assessments, and by identifying some core learning problems for Nigerian primary school children. It reviews the findings from recent research reports that studied teaching and learning processes in primary school classrooms, and it identifies the pedagogical issues in primary classrooms that contribute to poor learning achievements. This report describes a research and development program that set out to improve teaching and learning in core learning skill areas of the curriculum.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCREDITATIONACHIEVEMENT TESTSACQUISITION OF LITERACYADDITIONADEQUATE CLASSROOMSASSESSMENT REPORTSBASIC EDUCATION POLICIESBASIC EDUCATION POLICYBASIC EDUCATION PROGRAMBILINGUALISMBLACKBOARDSCAREERCAREER CHOICESCAREER DEVELOPMENTCAREER PATHSCAREERSCERTIFICATE IN EDUCATIONCERTIFICATION OF EDUCATIONCIVIL SERVICECLASSROOMCLASSROOM TEACHINGCLASSROOMSCOLLEGE PROGRAMSCOLLEGESCOLLEGES OF EDUCATIONCOURSE WORKCURRICULUM CONTENTDISTANCE LEARNINGEDUCATION ACTIVITIESEDUCATION AGENCIESEDUCATION CURRICULUMEDUCATION DATAEDUCATION DEPARTMENTEDUCATION FOR ALLEDUCATION INDICATORSEDUCATION PROGRAMSEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONSEFFECTIVE TEACHERSEFFECTIVE TEACHINGENGLISH TEACHINGFORMAL CERTIFICATIONFORMAL TEACHINGGIRLSGRADE LEVELSGRADE TEACHERSGROSS ENROLMENTGROSS ENROLMENT RATESHOMEWORKHUMAN DEVELOPMENTJUNIOR SECONDARYLANGUAGELANGUAGE COMPETENCELANGUAGE DEVELOPMENTLANGUAGE INSTRUCTIONLANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTIONLANGUAGE POLICYLANGUAGESLEARNINGLEARNING ACHIEVEMENTLEARNING ACHIEVEMENTSLEARNING ASSESSMENTSLEARNING COMPETENCIESLEARNING ENVIRONMENTSLEARNING MATERIALSLEARNING OUTCOMESLEARNING PROCESSESLEARNING SKILLSLIFE SKILLSLITERACYLITERACY INSTRUCTIONLITERACY LEVELSLITERACY SKILLSLITERACY TESTLITERACY TESTSMATHEMATICSMEDIUM OF INSTRUCTIONMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMONITORING LEARNING ACHIEVEMENTMULTIGRADE TEACHINGNATIONAL ASSESSMENTNATIONAL ASSESSMENTSNATIONAL LANGUAGENATIONAL LITERACYNATIONAL PRIMARY EDUCATIONNUMERACYOPPORTUNITIES FOR TEACHERSPAPERSPEDAGOGIESPERFORMANCE OF STUDENTSPRIMARY CLASSROOMSPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY EDUCATION PROJECTPRIMARY GRADEPRIMARY GRADESPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDRENPRIMARY SCHOOL CLASSESPRIMARY SCHOOL CURRICULUMPRIMARY SCHOOL DEVELOPMENTPRIMARY SCHOOL LEVELPRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTSPRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERPRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERSPRIMARY SCHOOLINGPRIMARY SCHOOLSPRIMARY SCIENCEPRIMARY TEACHERPRIMARY TEACHER EDUCATIONPRIMARY TEACHERSPRINTINGPRIVATE SCHOOLSPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTPROFICIENCYPROVISION OF TEACHER TRAININGPUBLIC PRIMARY SCHOOLSPUBLIC SCHOOLSQUALITY ASSURANCEQUALITY OF TEACHERSQUALITY OF TEACHINGREADINGRESEARCHERSRURAL AREASRURAL SCHOOLSSCHOOLSCHOOL CENSUSSCHOOL CLASSESSCHOOL CLASSROOMSSCHOOL CONTEXTSCHOOL CONTEXTSSCHOOL CURRICULUMSCHOOL DEVELOPMENTSCHOOL EXPERIENCESCHOOL FURNITURESCHOOL GRADUATESSCHOOL INFRASTRUCTURESCHOOL LEARNINGSCHOOL LEVELSCHOOL LEVELSSCHOOL MENTORINGSCHOOL PROFILESCHOOL QUALITYSCHOOL QUALITY IMPROVEMENTSCHOOL SUPPORTSCHOOL SYSTEMSECOND LANGUAGESECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOL GRADUATESSERVICE TRAININGSHORT COURSESSMALL SCHOOLSSOCIAL STUDIESSPECIAL PROGRAMSSTAFF DEVELOPMENTSTUDENT INTERACTIONSSTUDENT LEARNINGSTUDENT LEARNING ACHIEVEMENTSTUDENT SCORESTEACHERTEACHER ACCREDITATIONTEACHER CERTIFICATIONTEACHER DEVELOPMENTTEACHER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMSTEACHER EDUCATIONTEACHER EDUCATION CURRICULUMTEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMSTEACHER EDUCATION RESEARCHTEACHER MANAGEMENTTEACHER PARTICIPATIONTEACHER PERFORMANCETEACHER PREPARATIONTEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTTEACHER QUALITYTEACHER SUPPLYTEACHER SUPPORTTEACHER TRAININGTEACHER UNIONSTEACHINGTEACHING PERFORMANCETEXTBOOKSTRAINING PROGRAMSTRAINING SERVICESUNIVERSAL BASIC EDUCATIONUPPER PRIMARY GRADESURBAN SCHOOLSVOCABULARYWRITING SKILLSWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-7048-3
