ABSTRACT
A less sensitive evaluation ... might have concluded ... that one might be justified in recommending a wider adoption of a [BP]-type programme. Yet such a recommendation would have been misguided, since further analysis appears to show that the 'success' of the project may owe at least as much to the commitment, evangelical zeal almost, of the non-regular teachers. Regular teachers, uncommitted to the particular project, show more anxiety and confusion, less commitment, and less understanding, than the atypical nonregular teachers. Any attempt to introduce the [BP] more widely, without taking account of these special circumstances, could be inviting disaster on a large scale.
