Abstract
IPG has conducted seven projects in teacher development for teachers from the remote, high poverty province of Papua in Eastern Indonesia. While Monitoring and Evaluation reports have always produced positive results regarding the teachers' views of the programs and what they have learnt, no detailed evaluations have either been required or conducted on the effects that these teachers have had since their return to Papua. This presentation reports on Phase I of an evaluation conducted by IPG staff into the impact, influences and leverage that these teachers have had or may have had since their return to Papua. Using a retrospective longitudinal design, researchers designed a customised 101-item survey to explore three phases, exploring common items before, during and after the projects. Data were analysed using non-parametric tests and findings are presented here. The presentation considers implications for policy and practice in further projects and educational change in Papua.
