Uzbekistan Status of Instruction Study Round 1
The Status of Instruction Study (SIS) aims to shed light on teachers’ knowledge, attitudes
and beliefs, and skills and behaviors; the resources available at the school level and for the
targeted subjects; and how these resources are used. The SIS was designed to inform the
customization and development of student textbooks, teacher guides, and TPD approaches.
Originally, the SIS was to have a school-based data collection component that would include
classroom observations and parent and teacher interviews. Given the protracted challenges
resulting from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, data collection was
conducted remotely and focused on garnering feedback directly from teachers. As such one
limitation of this study is that all data are self-reported without additional means of
triangulation or confirmation at this point in time.
This report presents the SIS methodology and findings from online surveys administered to
more than 9,400 teachers from all regions of Uzbekistan, including the Republic of
Karakalpakstan and Tashkent City.
