ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Oklahoma State University
This study utilized a qualitative case study design to explore participants' perspectives regarding the value of ECHO Education Nigeria (EEN) program. EEN is a social Learning Space created for educators in Nigeria in 2021. A survey on value creation was disseminated to all participants of EEN, and subsequent interviews were carried out with a subset of participants who achieved high scores on the survey. The data analysis process followed a constant comparative method, wherein gathering and analysis of data took place simultaneously. Data were coded; codes were consolidated into categories and subsequently themes emerged. Findings indicated that EEN had a noteworthy influence on the participants' professional development, career progression, and overall satisfaction with their jobs. The perception of value creation within the social learning space of EEN was derived from active engagement, the dissemination of knowledge to a broader audience, alignment of objectives and aspirations, and the fostering of empowerment and agency. Participants underscored the significance of collaboration, peer learning, and practical application of knowledge. This study makes a valuable contribution to the existing body of literature on effective professional development programs, highlighting the significance of customizing these programs to align with educators' specific needs and interests. Findings from this study have significant implications for further research, theoretical frameworks, and practical applications. These findings emphasize the importance of implementing professional development programs tailored to specific contexts. Nevertheless, it is crucial to acknowledge that this study specifically concentrated on early impacts of EEN. Consequently, additional research is warranted to investigate the enduring transformative impacts of EEN. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
