Patterns

In order to investigate how local educators would approach the behaviours we identified, two workshops with local educators were run: one in Botswana and one in the UK. The educators were presented with a list of behaviours identified during the protocol studies and asked whether they had seen this behaviour, whether they would encourage or discourage this behaviour, and whether they could identify any pedagogical responses to this behaviour. The behaviours were listed randomly and no indication was given as to where these behaviours were identified, i.e. from which cohort of students. These pedagogical responses were compiled and compared with published pedagogical patterns.

A further pedagogical patterns session was held to investigate the good practice of teaching and learning in Botswana.
