“…Further results from the mentioned studies indicated that grade 2 children had difficulties in identifying initial word sounds and also in deleting sounds and syllables from words (Ngorosho & Lahtinen, 2010). Moreover, the children made errors of omission, addition and substitution of letters.…”

The article discusses a common, yet blurred concept of "research based teacher education". It describes the action taken in Norway to concretize the political and academic claim for making the education of teachers more research based. The focus is on the process leading up to the establishment of a Norwegian national graduate school in teacher education (NAFOL), as well as on the structure of the school as it has unfolded during the first three years of its planned period of seven years. The aim of the initiative of developing an innovative concept for a national graduate school (2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016) was to create a knowledge base in teacher education and to improve the quality of educational research in Norway. This was done within an inclusive network of teacher education institutions in dialogue with international research communities. Through NAFOL we try to give meaning to the concept A Research Based Teacher Education to avoid it becoming another buzzword without a structure which puts the concept into practice in a meaningful way.

“…Their importance is reflected in the time dedicated to teaching them, which is comparable to that in more developed systems and, in some cases, exceeds international norms (Bethell, 2016; Ministry of Science, Education, and Technology, 2022). While the curriculum is arguably based on competency (Ministry of Science, Education, and Technology, 2022), classroom practices remain largely defined by content and are often delivered by teacher‐led pedagogies (Ngorosho & Lahtinen, 2010).…”

Research has consistently indicated that children of naturalized citizens from refugee backgrounds lag in most indicators of development. The disparities are more nuanced in contexts with limited educational resources, such as the sub‐Saharan region of Africa. However, that is not the case with children of naturalized citizens from refugee backgrounds of Burundian origin living in Tanzania. The early learning attainment of these children is comparable to children from more advantaged urban majority groups. In this article, I discuss the role of the home learning environment and families' socioeconomic status in children's development of early math and reading skills by linking global and local perspectives. Challenges facing children from this group in Tanzania include issues related to curriculum, cultural practices and parental beliefs, mastery of Kiswahili, and the quality of teachers in the early grades. In light of the evidence, I argue for improvements in learning experiences and recommend research to inform policy and improve practice.
