The World Conference on Education for All held in Jomtien, Thailand, in March 1990 was influential in the spread of student-centered pedagogies in low-income countries (Ginsburg, 2010). A document prepared in this conference considered the active and participatory teaching approaches as "particularly valuable in assuring learning acquisition and allowing learners to reach their fullest potential" (Interagency Commission, 1990, Article 4). Various low-income countries as well as aid agencies enthusiastically adopted student-centered pedagogies as a means to improve the quality of education. These countries include Namibia (O'Sullivan, 2002, 2004), South Africa (Brodie et al., 2002), Tanzania (Vavrus & Bartlett, 2013), Nigeria (Hardman et al., 2008), Mongolia (Steiner-Khamsi & Stolpe, 2006), and Cambodia (Bunlay et al., 2010; Kingdom of Cambodia, 2007), to list a few.
