ABSTRACT

In keeping with action research traditions, this paper has been written collaboratively. It contains three “voices,” all speaking in the first person. The “I’ of the first part, the first case study, and of the concluding comments and reflections, is Janet Stuart, a teacher educator who worked for a year as a consultant with a team of five Basotho teachers of development studies at postprimary level. The second voice is that of Mahlape Morojele, writing as a primary teacher-trainer and one of that original team. The third voice, Pulane Lefoka, writes as a researcher who helped set up a subsequent project supporting primary teachers to develop instructional self-reflection skills.
