December 1983 / Teachers ' perceptions,— educational policy and the p l a n n i n g
of_iNSET: a study in the Catholic Primary schools of Sowetn
interviews with principals, assistant teache.s and certain
personnel suggest tnat these teachers (almost
exclusively black women) believe that changes in school
policy and resources would do more to improve their teaching
than would their further professional development.
However, they express interest in formal courses leading to
ert lfication that carries monetary reward. A strategy is
proposed for a programme of in-service education for these
teachers that takes into account the above and other
tendings, the evolving theoretical and policy perspectives
of the Catholic church (both international and South
African), relevant facets of the national context, and
current thi; Lng on INSET. This programme is embedded in a
general process of school improvement and is seen as a
normal part of the professional development of the teacher,
he learning-process model of innovation used is nonr
1V e ' Participative and school focussed, and involves
collaborative evaluation.
