incorporating practice teaching into preservice training. Improving teacher
motivation is perhaps the trickiest task that governments face in their
effort to upgrade the teaching force. Doing so will require a variety of
measures, such as paying adequate salaries and providing nonsalary
benefits, improving working conditions, offering opportunities for
professional advancement and incentives for good performance, and
strengthening supervision and support. (pp 115-6)
This last point is worth further investigation. According to Lillis (1992, p 1)
Effective inspection and supervision is seen as one key to the complex
issue of improving the quality and efficiency of basic education, the
quality of educational management and the quality of educational
attainment.
However Lillis points out that little or no empirical evidence is available on which to
judge the impact of inspection and supervision. It appears that evaluation research in this
area is desirable; it is possible that appropriate training measures would be effective.
