The Impact of Teachers Professional Development in Video Technology on Mathematics and English Learning of Preschoolers in a Rural Primary School in Pakistan

Abstract

Learning media technologies are common and affordable tools in preschools for teaching and learning purposes. Unfortunately, many young children from low socio-economic communities do not have challenging and stimulating learning environment as compared to their advantaged peers. Moreover, the traditional teaching methods of mathematics and English language have failed because conventional methods of teaching miss the motivation factor. The classical methods are slower than the modern technical methods because the latter methods give students a more significant role in the learning process. Beside terrorism and corruption, the Pakistani education system suffers from many additional problems. In result, Pakistan’s literacy rate remains one of the lowest in South Asian region. This developing mixed methods study intend to examine teachers’ training to bring technological interventions in their nursery classrooms, and randomized controlled trials anticipate the effect of PBS and Sesame Street learning videos on 86 students’ mathematics and English language learning.
