The quasi experimental design was applied in this study to determine the effect of treatment. A pre and post-test and comparison groups (which consist of the Experimental Group, the Informed Group and the Control Group) were used to estimate the effects of treatment in this study. A total of 90 primary school teachers participated in the study: 30 in the Experimental Group, 30 in the Informed Group and the other 30 in the Control Group. Treatment given is in the form of three days training to in-service teachers in the Experimental Group. Data derived from the observation were subjected to the ANOVA procedure, which indicated significant differences between the treatment and non-treatment groups. There is a significant improvement in the knowledge and attitude of INSET teachers. INSET teachers showed there is improvement in their…
