Review of: "Effects of Teachers’ Professional Development on Students’ Academic Achievement"
Résumé
Potential competing interests: No potential competing interests to declare.This is a nice study that underscores the role of teacher professional development in enhancing classroom learning.Indeed, "nations are because teachers are", and there is no education system that can be smarter than its own teachers.The author is commended for selecting such a visionary study.However, a number of issues may need attention that could improve the overall readability of the paper.The narrative of the Background is fairly written.However, there is a tendency of writing long sentences that are not clear.It should have been necessary that sentences are shorter and clear.Often times, the use of joining word "and" combines two sentences with completely different ideas into one unclear sentence.Citations in text use "&" and "and" interchangeably.Consistency in using one form is necessary.When referring to the text in a previous paragraph, please be specific enough for the reader to connect the texts accordingly.In the opening sentence of the third paragraph of the Introduction that reads "Prior attempts to address this led stakeholders in the African…" for example, what does "this" imply in that case?One-sentence paragraphs in most cases do not deliver the intended message.Try to avoid them.
