  mentoring_philosophy: 'In our role as mentors of students in the UROP program, we seek to contribute to developing future researchers, particularly researchers with a better understanding of international education. For this, we will aim to get to know the student, understand their goals, and purposely plan for the attainment of those goals. We will also allow the students to get to know us. This two-way relationship will represent the stage for a successful experience as we conduct research together. We understand that the students may not have vast research experience. Hence, we will demonstrate the tasks, conduct the tasks together, and then allow the students to work independently. This gradual release of responsibility will reduce frustrations resulting from now knowing the task at hand. However, problems and challenges arise, even after the demonstrations and joint work. In this case, we will do our best to listen and identify mechanisms to resolve and move forward. Asking questions will always be welcome. Ultimately, we will prioritize the success of the students, no matter their personal strengths and weaknesses, or career goals.'

  overall_research_project_description: "In the 2023-24 academic year, FSU faculty was part of a Consortium established by the Ministry of Education in Rwanda (MINEDUC) to design and pilot the Primary Teaching Residency Program (PTRP). The PTRP's purpose was to strengthen the pedagogical knowledge and skills of beginning teachers, provide extended teaching practice, and improve their English and ICT skills. One hundred beginning teachers participated in the PTRP. The purpose of the Improving Training of Beginning Teachers in Rwanda project is to deepen the understanding of the impact of the PTRP on beginning teachers education to better inform the future design of teaching residency programs in Rwanda and other low- and middle-income countries. Some of the research questions to answer are: (1) How do the aspects of the residency program contribute to the pedagogical knowledge of beginning teachers?, (2) How do beginning teachers integrate various pedagogical strategies into the planning and teaching practice?, (3) What pedagogical strategies do beginning teachers use in their classrooms?, (4) How do beginning teachers perceive the value of the residency program in their early experience as classroom teachers? To answer these questions, we will analyze qualitative data collected with Focus Group Discussions, Interviews, Journals, and other methods. Also, we will conduct follow-up interviews and administer follow-up electronic questionnaires to collect additional data.     "
