Pedagogical practices in Fiji schools

This chapter presents the findings of a study carried out in 2013 at three primary schools and five secondary schools in Fiji. The study aimed to compile information about pedagogical approaches, so as to inform future reforms in national education policies and educational practices in the Asia-Pacific context. A mixed-methods approach was used, including document and policy analysis, questionnaires, classroom observations and talanoa, an indigenous dialogic research instrument. Participants included Ministry of Education (MOE) officials, teacher educators at the University of the South Pacific (USP) and a group of primary and secondary school teachers
