“…If some of the activities listed above seem mundane for heads of large educational establishments, it should be borne in mind that the participants’ role – college principal – was closer to that of a head teacher than that of vice chancellor as it might be understood in the West. That caveat notwithstanding, it should not be too surprising that most of the given answers are in the two columns to the right of this table, since ‘sometimes’ and ‘often’ might mean different things to different people (Spratto and Bandalos, 2020). Even so, of most interest here is the suggestion in the data that the participants already viewed themselves as effective leaders at the start of the research project.…”

Award-bearing transnational professional development training has received little attention in the literature. By taking a longitudinal mixed-methods approach, this project's researchers investigated the ways in which participants on a World Bank-funded programme practised leadership at the start of their training, before revisiting them a year later to find out what, if any, changes had resulted. It was discovered that the award-bearing design had been very influential in endowing the participants with concepts that they enthusiastically adopted, but that, over time, the concepts had undergone a process of simplification, largely driven by incongruities between the concepts and the cultural environments to which they had been applied. It is recommended that award-bearing programmes might more readily take into account the individual and contextual circumstances of their participants at the planning stage.
