| Abstract: | Teacher education for early childhood education in Papua New Guinea (PNG) has been minimal in the past and this paper reports on workshops in which both quality mathematics education and computers were introduced to teachers in remote areas of PNG. With a lack of funding and time, the logistics of holding the workshops are noted. There were some small but significant gains made by teachers. The paper also notes some of the issues for teachers indicating ways in which further professional development could occur. |
