Reflecting on Five Decades of Teacher Professional Development in Tanzania: The Missing Dimensions - Dachi, Hillary (Papers in Education and Development, 2016)
The importance of teacher development need not be over stated. This is adducible by the fact that transformations, innovations and diffusions in education make it imperative that teachers have to continually change and adopt. This paper takes stock of the trajectory of teacher professional development in Tanzania by locating related initiatives in the macro-policies and education transformations spanning a period of nearly five decades. It identifies the missing dimensions for robust in-service continuous professional development programmes (CPD) for primary and secondary school teachers. The paper proposes the need to support a cost effective in-service CPD model, which is school based designed around a reflective practitioner approach, for which teaching is an interactive problem solving professional undertaking requiring continuous updating of key competences that teachers require for classroom practices. Key words:      teachers’ professionalism; teachers’ continuous professional development; macro-policies; education transformations

Developing an emergency nursing short course in Tanzania - Cunningham, C.; Brysiewicz, P.; Sepeku, A.; White, L.; Murray, B.; Lobue, N.; Sawe, H. (African Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2017)
Abstract Nurses are the largest group of healthcare workers in Africa. By adequately equipping nurses to identify, intervene and care for emergency conditions, emergency healthcare systems can be strengthened. To address this need, a nursing working group was formed within the African Federation for Emergency Medicine (AFEM). The aim of this international emergency nursing group was to develop a guiding document to help improve emergency nursing skills within Africa. Using this guiding document, a group of Tanzanian clinical nurse trainers was selected to develop a context specific short course. They used this guiding document as a foundation to improve skill development. The pilot course was well received and has since expanded to training in five regions within the United Republic of Tanzania. The clinical nurse trainers leading the course, are supported by a mentorship programme with competent educators within a global emergency nursing infrastructure. This course, a combination of local knowledge, formal mentorship programs, and international nursing support, demonstrates that investing in the improvement of emergency nursing skills can have high impact results with low-cost. This will ultimately improve emergency care on the continent.

The disconnected: COVID-19 and disparities in access to quality broadband for higher education students - Cullinan, John; Flannery, Darragh; Harold, Jason; Lyons, Seán; Palcic, Dónal (International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education, 2021)
Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic forced many higher education institutions (HEIs) across the world to cancel face-to-face teaching, close campus facilities, and displace staff and students to work and learn from home. Given the persistent nature of the pandemic, many HEIs have continued to deliver courses online and/or use a blended learning approach. However, there are concerns around differences in student access to digital learning resources while at home, including high quality broadband connectivity. This is important, since variation in connectivity may impact the type of online/blended model that faculty can deliver or constrain student engagement with online content. In this context, this paper combines national data on the domiciles of students enrolled in Irish HEIs with detailed spatial data on broadband coverage to estimate the number of higher education students ‘at risk’ of poor access to high quality internet connectivity. Overall it finds that one-in-six students come from areas with poor broadband coverage, with large disparities by geography and by HEI. It also finds that students from the poorest broadband coverage areas are more likely to be socioeconomically disadvantaged. As a result, this paper recommends that HEIs use their detailed registration data to help identify and support at-risk students. In particular, the results suggest that some HEIs may need to prioritise access to campus facilities and services to less well-off students living in poor broadband coverage areas.

Reference Coverage Analysis of OpenAlex compared to Web of Science and Scopus - Culbert, Jack; Hobert, Anne; Jahn, Najko; Haupka, Nick; Schmidt, Marion; Donner, Paul; Mayr, Philipp (arXiv, 2024)
OpenAlex is a promising open source of scholarly metadata, and competitor to the established proprietary sources, the Web of Science and Scopus. As OpenAlex provides its data freely and openly, it permits researchers to perform bibliometric studies that can be reproduced in the community without licensing barriers. However, as OpenAlex is a rapidly evolving source and the data contained within is expanding and also quickly changing, the question naturally arises as to the trustworthiness of its data. In this empirical paper, we will study the reference and metadata coverage within each database and compare them with each other to help address this open question in bibliometrics. In our large-scale study, we demonstrate that, when restricted to a cleaned dataset of 16,788,282 recent publications shared by all three databases, OpenAlex has average reference numbers comparable to both Web of Science and Scopus. We also demonstrate that the comparison of other core metadata covered by OpenAlex shows mixed results, with OpenAlex capturing more ORCID identifiers, fewer abstracts and a similar number of Open Access information per article when compared to both Web of Science and Scopus.

Creating the golden triangle of evidence-informed education technology with EDUCATE - Cukurova, Mutlu; Luckin, Rosemary; Clark-Wilson, Alison (British Journal of Educational Technology, 2019)
EDUCATE is a London-based programme that supports the development of research-informed educational technology (EdTech), allowing entrepreneurs and start-ups to create their products and services, and simultaneously grow their companies in a more evidence-informed manner. The programme partners businesses with researchers who mentor, guide and support this research journey, a key aspect of which is the evaluation of the company’s EdTech product or service. However, conducting impact evaluations of technology in education is challenging, particularly for early stage technologies, as rapid cycles of innovation and change are part of their essence. Here, we present the pragmatic approach to evidence-informed education technology design and impact evaluation, as developed and adopted by the EDUCATE programme. The research process is shaped by the core principles of evidence-informed decision making detailed in the paper. The contributions of the paper are threefold. First, it defines and details an academia-industry-education collaboration model centred on a research training programme. Second, it presents emerging impact results of the programme. Third, it provides clear reflections on the challenges encountered during the implementation of the model in the EdTech ecosystem of London, which should be addressed if we are to move towards evidence-informed EdTech globally.

Student-teacher relationships matter for school inclusion: school belonging, disability, and school transitions - Crouch, Ronald; Keys, Christopher B.; McMahon, Susan D. (Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Community, 2014)
For students with disabilities, the process of school inclusion often begins with a move from segregated settings into general education classrooms. School transitions can be stressful as students adjust to a new environment. This study examines the adjustment of 133 students with and without disabilities who moved from a school that served primarily students with disabilities into 23 public schools in a large urban school district in the Midwest. These students and 111 of their teachers and other school staff rated the degree that students felt they belonged in their new schools and the quality of their social interactions. Results show that students who experienced more positive and fewer negative social interactions with school staff had higher school belonging. Teachers accurately noted whether students felt they belonged in their new settings, but were not consistently able to identify student perceptions of negative social interactions with staff. Implications for inclusion and improving our educational system are explored.

Eliminating global learning poverty: The importance of equalities and equity - Crouch, Luis; Rolleston, Caine; Gustafsson, Martin (International Journal of Educational Development, 2021)
This paper explores the quantitative relationships between average levels of learning achievement across countries, changes in average levels of learning achievement, the inequality of distribution of achievement (akin to income or wealth inequality in general development analysis), and the proportion of students learning at or below an absolute minimum (akin to poverty in general development analysis). The paper uses a variety of data from cross-national and national assessments: aggregate data, micro (student-level) data, school-level data, and time-series data. The paper shows how various factors such as gender or wealth impact learning levels, but also shows that ‘systems-related’ inequality, not directly related to such factors, is typically much larger than inequality associated with any of those factors. The paper shows that countries progress from very low average levels of achievement to middle levels more by reducing the percentage of students with very low scores (that is, by paying attention to the ‘bulging’ left-hand tail of the distribution) than by increasing the percentage of high performing students. The availability of micro data from a particular case allows exploration of the relationship between inequality measures and measures of the percentage of students below a low level of achievement and shows that, at least in that case, the reduction in inequality that accompanies improvements in the average levels takes place mostly through a reduction in the percentage below a low level. Unlike in the case of income, where vast reductions in income poverty seem possible without reducing income inequality, the evidence presented here suggests that this typically does not happen with learning levels: inequality reduction, reductions in percentages below a low level, and improvements in the averages are all empirically connected. More work is needed to show whether that connection is also causal.

Doing Reform Differently: Combining Rigor and Practicality in Implementation and Evaluation of System Reforms - Crouch, Luis; DeStefano, Joseph (2017)
This paper brings together two promising intellectual trends in development: Doing Development Differently (DDD), and whole-system reform. In addition, it provides a framework for evaluating system reforms, as rigorously as possible. Doing Development Differently proposes an approach to development in which many different things are tried, in smallish ways, involving stakeholders; in one sense it is a reaction against “blueprint” development. These approaches have much to recommend them.

Learning with technology during emergencies: A systematic review of K-12 education [BJET] - Crompton, Helen; Burke, Diane; Jordan, Katy; Wilson, Samuel W. G. (British Journal of Educational Technology, 2021)
Emergency situations that cause damage to educational buildings or require the closure of schools due to unsafe health, environmental, or political conditions can be an unwelcomed interruption to education. Indeed, the recent COVID-19 pandemic created the largest disruption of education in history, affecting 94% of the world's student population. In emergencies, technology is often utilised as part of a crisis response protocol by continuing education using emergency remote education (ERE). The purpose of this study is to determine how technology has been used to continue K-12 learning remotely during an emergency. This systematic review included an aggregated and configurative synthesis to examine extant empirical work over eleven years, from January 2010 to December 2020. Following a rigorous, PRISMA selection process, 60 articles were included in the final analysis from 48 countries. Grounded coding of the strategies used for learning revealed the following categories: communication, delivery systems, student ERE readiness, partnerships, promoting student learning and engagement, and resources. Grounded coding of the technologies revealed that types of technologies used were divided into two major categories: Internet-based and non-Internet based, with the majority using Internet-based technologies. Practitioner notes What is already known about this topic The COVID-19 pandemic has caused school closures across the globe and prevented in-person school teaching. The rapid shift to distance education in schools can be conceptualised as ‘emergency remote education’ (ERE). Prior ERE research focused on bounded geographic locations where localised emergencies occurred. What this paper adds This provides the scholarly community with a unique systematic review of existing academic research on K-12 ERE implementation in emergencies. This provides aggregated data and analysis on the past 11 years of the types of emergencies, participants, subject domain, technologies used, and location information. This provides findings of the types of remote teaching strategies involving technology used to continue K-12 learning in emergency situations. This provides a set of recommendations on ERE for teachers, school leaders, policy makers, and funders. This provides researchers with a review of the field with identification of gaps and future research opportunities. Implications for practice and/or policy Recommendations regarding ERE are provided in this paper that will be of benefit to K-12 teachers, school leaders policymakers, and funders in the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and future emergencies. The research gaps highlighted in this paper, such as the lack of studies conducted in low and low middle-income countries, are presented with suggestions for much needed future research. This can lead to changes in practice and policy.

Support provided for K-12 teachers teaching remotely with technology during emergencies: A systematic review [JRTE] - Crompton, Helen; Burke, Diane; Jordan, Katy; Wilson, Samuel (Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2021)
Emergencies can cause disruption to education. This study is unique in providing the first empirical systematic review on teacher support for Emergency Remote Education (ERE) from 2010 to 2020. A total of 57 studies emerged from the PRISMA search. This mixed-method study used deductive and inductive iterative methods to examine the data. The data reveal teacher support strategies from across 50 different high and low-income countries. Few studies focused on a teacher’s subject and the age range taught. In the examination of professional development provided to prepare K-12 teachers to conduct ERE, eight codes emerged from the grounded coding as; 1) prior preparation, 2) understanding ERE, 3) needs analysis, 4) digital pedagogical strategies, 5) technology tools, 6) frameworks, 7) digital equity, and 8) mental wellness.

Inclusive open education: presumptions, principles, and practices - Croft, Benjamin; Brown, Monica (Distance Education, 2020)
Open education has long been forwarded as a producer of equity. However, there currently exists a lack of critical engagement with issues of justice in open educational practices (OEP). Although the affordances of open education have potential for increasing equity, creating knowledge alongside learners is inherently rife with complexities for inclusion and diversity. As online faculty build relationships with and between students and engage in unconventional but authentic instruction, they must be cognizant of the ways in which historically underrepresented populations are systematically marginalized and might be excluded from full participation. This article seeks to investigate tensions at the nexus of OEP and social justice, identify underlying principles of inclusive OEP, and offer initial strategies on using OEP inclusively and in alignment with a social justice framework.

A Measure to Assess Student-Instructor Relationships - Creasey, Gary; Jarvis, Pat; Knapcik, Elyse (International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2009)
There is a need for an instrument that assesses student-instructor relationships as many experts speculate that close, non-threatening relationships between students and instructors predict positive achievement orientations, academic progress and success. In this paper, we present reliability and additional validity data concerning the Student-Instructor Relationship Scale, a 36-item inventory we developed that taps studentinstructor relationship connectedness and anxiety. In the first study, college students completed this instrument twice over a 3-4 week time period and the instrument subscales possessed good test-retest reliability. In the second study, the subscales of the SIRS were associated with student perceptions of test anxiety in a randomly determined class. As predicted, student-instructor connectedness was negatively associated with test anxiety and student-instructor anxiety was positively associated with this construct. Study implications and suggestions for future research are offered.

Factors shaping lecturers’ adoption of OER at three South African universities - Cox, Glenda; Trotter, Henry (2017)
The research presented here focuses on understanding the obstacles, opportunities and practices associated with Open Educational Resources (OER) adoption at three South African universities. It addresses the question: Why do South African lecturers adopt – or not adopt – OER? In trying to answer this, the authors also attempt to identify which factors shape lecturers’ OER adoption decisions, and how lecturers’ institutional cultures influence their OER use and creation choices. This study employed a qualitative research approach through in-depth personal interviews with 18 respondents at three different universities which together broadly represent the characteristics of South Africa’s university sector. Unique analytical tools – the OER adoption pyramid and OER adoption readiness tables – were developed to help with analysing and synthesising the data. Findings indicate that whether and how OER adoption takes place at an institution is shaped by a layered sequence of factors – infrastructural access, legal permission, conceptual awareness, technical capacity, material availability, and individual or institutional volition – which are further influenced by prevailing cultural and social variables. This study has value and application for researchers and institutions pursuing an OER agenda, policy-makers seeking tools to assess OER readiness in institutional contexts, and funding agencies aiming to boost institutional OER engagement.

Open Textbooks and Social Justice: Open Educational Practices to Address Economic, Cultural and Political Injustice at the University of Cape Town - Cox, Glenda; Masuku, Bianca; Willmers, Michelle (Journal of Interactive Media in Education, 2020)
There is currently a clarion call to address social injustice in South African higher education (HE) in order to achieve greater equity in access. Within this context, current social injustices pertain to financial exclusion as well as epistemic marginalisation and are embodied in the predominance of expensive textbooks which are authored in the Global North, meaning that they are unaffordable for many students and do not represent local realities. This paper provides evidence from the Digital Open Textbooks for Development (DOT4D) project at the University of Cape Town (UCT), on the potential of open textbooks to address social injustice in South African HE and the practices utilised by UCT staff to address these challenges. The paper uses Nancy Fraser’s (2005) trivalent lens to examine inequality, specifically as relates to the following dimensions: economic (maldistribution of resources); cultural (misrecognition of culture and identities); and political (misrepresentation or exclusion of voice). This enables the authors to critically analyse the UCT context and the extent to which open textbook production as well as open education practices within the classroom promote social justice through “parity of participation”. The findings presented demonstrate that open textbooks have the potential to disrupt histories of exclusion in South African HE institutions by addressing issues of cost and marginalisation through the creation of affordable, contextually-relevant learning resources. In addition to this, they provide affordances which enable lecturers to change the way they teach, include student voices and create innovative pedagogical strategies.

The AI gambit: leveraging artificial intelligence to combat climate change—opportunities, challenges, and recommendations - Cowls, Josh; Tsamados, Andreas; Taddeo, Mariarosaria; Floridi, Luciano (AI & SOCIETY, 2023)
Abstract In this article, we analyse the role that artificial intelligence (AI) could play, and is playing, to combat global climate change. We identify two crucial opportunities that AI offers in this domain: it can help improve and expand current understanding of climate change, and it can contribute to combatting the climate crisis effectively. However, the development of AI also raises two sets of problems when considering climate change: the possible exacerbation of social and ethical challenges already associated with AI, and the contribution to climate change of the greenhouse gases emitted by training data and computation-intensive AI systems. We assess the carbon footprint of AI research, and the factors that influence AI’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in this domain. We find that the carbon footprint of AI research may be significant and highlight the need for more evidence concerning the trade-off between the GHG emissions generated by AI research and the energy and resource efficiency gains that AI can offer. In light of our analysis, we argue that leveraging the opportunities offered by AI for global climate change whilst limiting its risks is a gambit which requires responsive, evidence-based, and effective governance to become a winning strategy. We conclude by identifying the European Union as being especially well-placed to play a leading role in this policy response and provide 13 recommendations that are designed to identify and harness the opportunities of AI for combatting climate change, while reducing its impact on the environment.

Artificial Intelligence in Education as a Rawlsian Massively Multiplayer Game: A Thought Experiment on AI Ethics - Cowley, Benjamin Ultan; Charles, Darryl; Pfuhl, Gerit; Rusanen, Anna-Mari (AI in Learning: Designing the Future, 2023)
In this chapter, we reflect on the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) as a pedagogical and educational instrument and the challenges that arise to ensure transparency and fairness to staff and students . We describe a thought experiment: ‘simulation of AI in education as a massively multiplayer social online game’ (AIEd-MMOG). Here, all actors (humans, institutions, AI agents and algorithms) are required to conform to the definition of a player. Models of player behaviour that ‘understand’ the game space provide an application programming interface for typical algorithms, e.g. deep learning neural nets or reinforcement learning agents, to interact with humans and the game space. The definition of ‘player’ is a role designed to maximise protection and benefit for human players during interaction with AI. The concept of benefit maximisation is formally defined as a Rawlsian justice game, played within the AIEd-MMOG to facilitate transparency and trust of the algorithms involved, without requiring algorithm-specific technical solutions to, e.g. ‘peek inside the black box’. Our thought experiment for an AIEd-MMOG simulation suggests solutions for the well-known challenges of explainable AI and distributive justice.

Short-run Effects of COVID-19 on U.S. Worker Transitions - Cowan, Benjamin W (National Bureau of Economic Research, 2020)
I use Current Population Survey Data from February and April 2020 to examine how individual workers have transitioned between labor-market states and which workers have been hurt most by the COVID-19 pandemic. I find not only large effects on workers becoming unemployed but also a decline in labor-force participation, an increase in absence from one’s job, and a decrease in hours worked. Generally, more vulnerable populations—racial and ethnic minorities, those born outside the U.S., women with children, the least educated, and workers with a disability—have experienced the largest declines in the likelihood of (full-time) work and work hours.

Curriculum and training needs of mid-level health workers in Africa: A situational review from Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa and Uganda - Couper, Ian; Couper, Ian; Ray, Sunanda; Ray, Sunanda; Blaauw, Duane; Ng'Wena, Gideon; Muchiri, Lucy; Oyungu, Eren; Omigbodun, Akinyinka; Omigbodun, Akinyinka; Morhason-Bello, Imran; Ibingira, Charles; et al. (BMC Health Services Research, 2018)
© 2018 The Author(s). Background: Africa's health systems rely on services provided by mid-level health workers (MLWs). Investment in their training is worthwhile since they are more likely to be retained in underserved areas, require shorter training courses and are less dependent on technology and investigations in their clinical practice than physicians. Their training programs and curricula need up-dating to be relevant to their practice and to reflect advances in health professional education. This study was conducted to review the training and curricula of MLWs in Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa and Uganda, to ascertain areas for improvement. Methods: Key informants from professional associations, regulatory bodies, training institutions, labour organisations and government ministries were interviewed in each country. Policy documents and training curricula were reviewed for relevant content. Feedback was provided through stakeholder and participant meetings and comments recorded. 421 District managers and 975 MLWs from urban and rural government district health facilities completed self-administered questionnaires regarding MLW training and performance. Results: Qualitative data indicated commonalities in scope of practice and in training programs across the four countries, with a focus on basic diagnosis and medical treatment. Older programs tended to be more didactic in their training approach and were often lacking in resources. Significant concerns regarding skills gaps and quality of training were raised. Nevertheless, quantitative data showed that most MLWs felt their basic training was adequate for the work they do. MLWs and district managers indicated that training methods needed updating with additional skills offered. MLWs wanted their training to include more problem-solving approaches and practical procedures that could be life-saving. Conclusions: MLWs are essential frontline workers in health services, not just a stop-gap. In Kenya, Nigeria and Uganda, their important role is appreciated by health service managers. At the same time, significant deficiencies in training program content and educational methodologies exist in these countries, whereas programs in South Africa appear to have benefited from their more recent origin. Improvements to training and curricula, based on international educational developments as well as the local burden of disease, will enable them to function with greater effectiveness and contribute to better quality care and outcomes.

Children’s data protection in an education setting - Guidelines - Council of Europe (Council of Europe Publishing, 2021)
Children's digital footprint: guidelines to support organisations and individuals in the educational context to respect, protect and fulfil children's rights in the digital environmentThe digital environment shapes children’s lives in many ways, creating opportunities and risks to their well-being and enjoyment of Human Rights.This applies in the everyday life but also increasingly in education settings where tools designed for teaching, supervision, assessment of children are deployed without the various actors always being aware of the challenges to children’s private life and personal data protection.The introduction of digital tools to the classroom in effect opens up the school gates to a wide range and high volume of stakeholders who interact with children’s everyday activities. The majority of the devices and applications, software and learning platforms, adopted in educational settings are developed by private, commercial actors.The Guidelines on Children’s Data Protection in an Educational Setting aim at supporting organisations and individuals in the context of education to respect, protect and fulfil the data protection rights of the child in the digital environment, within the scope of Article 3 of the modernised Convention 108 (more commonly referred to as “Convention 108+”), and in accordance with the CoE instruments including the Guidelines on Children in the Digital Environment Recommendation CM/Rec(2018)7.

Open and Innovative Schooling: An Implementation Experience in Fifteen Secondary Schools across Mozambique - Cossa, Sérgio Paulo; Nakala, Lurdes Patrocínia Matavela; Cherinda, Nilsa Adelaide Issufo Enoque Pondja (Journal of Learning for Development, 2021)
This case study explores the open and innovative schooling model piloted in fifteen secondary schools across all regions of Mozambique in the period 2018 to 2020. The model involved provision of access to curriculum-based digital Open Educational Resources (OER) using an Aptus device to enable sharing offline. Learning support centres offering access to some ICT as well as opportunities for individual use or structured tutorials were established in fifteen schools around the country. A mixed methods tracer study was designed and implemented using quantitative analysis to ascertain student enrolment, retention and success and then used qualitative focus surveys and focus groups to gauge the satisfaction of students, teachers and managers with the OIS model to inform future planning. While the pilot was generally considered successful in augmenting existing secondary schooling provision, access to devices, teacher development and support and expansion of curriculum coverage were all found to be in critical need of improvement if the model is to be scaled.

Teacher self-efficacy in online education: a review of the literature - Corry, Michael; Stella, Julie (Publisher, 2018)
Although empirical validation of teacher self-efficacy in face-to-face environments continues, it remains a relatively new construct in online education. This literature review, which was conducted over academic databases and which examined work published in the past 15 years, explores three areas of research about teacher self-efficacy in online education: (1) ease of adopting online teaching, (2) online teaching self-efficacy in comparison to demographic and experience variables and (3) changes in teacher self-efficacy in professional development scenarios where self-efficacy was measured before and after treatment. Research studies demonstrate agreement (or no discernible disagreement) in the importance of system/curriculum quality in the implementation of online learning and the recognition that a measure of self-efficacy in online pedagogy has not yet been empirically derived. Researchers continue to examine the balance of technological and pedagogical knowledge that supports the development of teacher self-efficacy, the role of learner self-efficacy in teacher self-efficacy and whether teacher self-efficacy differs fundamentally in online education. In addition, it seems clear that empirical validation of the association of teacher self-efficacy and student success has yet to occur in online education with the rigour seen in face-to-face modes of delivery.

Rhizomatic Education: Community as Curriculum - Cormier, Dave (Innovate: Journal of Online Education, 2008)
The pace of technological change has challenged historical notions of what counts as knowledge. Dave Cormier describes an alternative to the traditional notion of knowledge. In place of the expert-centered pedagogical planning and publishing cycle, Cormier suggests a rhizomatic model of learning. In the rhizomatic model, knowledge is negotiated, and the learning experience is a social as well as a personal knowledge creation process with mutable goals and constantly negotiated premises. The rhizome metaphor, which represents a critical leap in coping with the loss of a canon against which to compare, judge, and value knowledge, may be particularly apt as a model for disciplines on the bleeding edge where the canon is fluid and knowledge is a moving target.

Exploring the Use of Tweets and Word Clouds as Strategies in Educational Research - Cooshna-Naik, Dorothy (Journal of Learning for Development, 2022)
This paper presents personal insights and discussions on the exploration of specific strategies which relate to data collection and analysis used to support the focus group discussion data collection and preliminary analysis of a doctoral research entitled Undergraduate students’ experiences of learning with digital multimodal texts. The main objective of the doctoral research was to understand the different ways undergraduate students experienced learning with digital multimodal texts (DMTs) within the context of a history module included in their first-year programme of studies both as readers (consumers) and authors (producers). Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, written reflection accounts, a focus group discussion and consideration given to the DMT (a video) produced by the participants. The focus group discussion event included a hands-on task whereby participants were requested to write their views in response to a given prompt question in the form of tweets. Also, the written tweets were visualised as word clouds for the purpose of initial analysis. The findings reported in this paper, which are based on observation notes and investigation of the word clouds, suggest that the tweet-related, hands-on task acted as a good ice breaker, making the participants feel at ease and more relaxed about sharing their views amongst each other while eliciting discussions and fostering deeper thinking. Also, the word clouds were revealed to be an effective data visualisation tool allowing emerging and salient themes to stand out from the participants’ written tweets and reflections.

Identifying effective education interventions in sub-Saharan Africa: A meta-analysis of impact evaluations - Conn, K.M. (Review of Educational Research, 2017)
In this article, I identify educational interventions with an impact on student learning in Sub-Saharan Africa. After a systematic literature search, I conducted a meta-analysis synthesizing 56 articles containing 66 separate experiments and quasi-experiments and 83 treatment arms. I evaluated 12 types of education interventions such as the provision of school supplies, the use of teacher incentives, and school-based management programs. I examine each intervention type, present analytics on relative effectiveness, and explore why certain interventions seem to be more effective. A key finding is that programs that alter teacher pedagogy or classroom instructional techniques had an effect size approximately 0.30 standard deviations greater than all other types of programs combined. Limited evidence further suggests that pedagogical programs that employed adaptive instruction or teacher coaching were particularly effective. Given that the literature in the field is still nascent overall, these results advocate for further research into these pedagogical interventions.

Using eye-tracking in applied linguistics and second language research - Conklin, Kathy; Pellicer-Sánchez, Ana (Second Language Research, 2016)
With eye-tracking technology the eye is thought to give researchers a window into the mind. Importantly, eye-tracking has significant advantages over traditional online processing measures: chiefly that it allows for more ‘natural’ processing as it does not require a secondary task, and that it provides a very rich moment-to-moment data source. In recognition of the technology’s benefits, an ever increasing number of researchers in applied linguistics and second language research are beginning to use it. As eye-tracking gains traction in the field, it is important to ensure that it is established in an empirically sound fashion. To do this it is important for the field to come to an understanding about what eye-tracking is, what eye-tracking measures tell us, what it can be used for, and what different eye-tracking systems can and cannot do. Further, it is important to establish guidelines for designing sound research studies using the technology. The goal of the current review is to begin to address these issues.

Social Choice, Agency, Inclusiveness and Capabilities - Comim, Flavio; Anand, P. B.; Fennell, Shailaja (Cambridge University Press, 2024)
The capability approach is a versatile framework rooted on issues of justice and multidimensional assessment of quality of life developed in the 1980s as an alternative approach to prevailing mainstream development ideas focused narrowly on economic development. Most closely associated with the work of Amartya Sen, it has become of great interest to development scholars from a variety of different disciplines. Much has already been done exploring the conceptual foundations of the capability approach and discussing Sen's contribution to the field, but few books have explored the links between social choice (another field with rich contributions by Sen) and human development issues. Featuring many of the world's leading experts on social choice theory and capability indicators, Social Choice, Agency, Inclusiveness and Capabilities combines these interrelated themes into one volume and fully explores the relevance of social choice to human development.

The Design of Teacher Assignment: Theory and Evidence. - Combe, Julien; Tercieux, Olivier; Terrier, Camille (2020)
To assign teachers to schools, a modiﬁed version of the well-known deferred acceptance mechanism has been proposed in the literature and is used in practice. We show that this mechanism fails to be fair and efﬁcient for both teachers and schools. We identify a class of strategyproof mechanisms that cannot be improved upon in terms of both efﬁciency and fairness. Using a rich dataset on teachers’ applications in France, we estimate teachers preferences and perform a counterfactual analysis. The results show that these mechanisms perform much better than the modiﬁed version of deferred acceptance. For instance, the number of teachers moving from their positions more than triples under our mechanism.

Teacher education in anglophone west Africa: Does policy match practice? - Colley, Kabba E. (International Perspectives on Education and Society, 2014)
© 2014 by Emerald Group Publishing Limited All rights of reproduction in any form reserved. This chapter focuses on a study, which investigates the question: How do teacher education policies match teacher education practices in Anglophone West Africa? Teacher education policy in this chapter refers to action statements in verbal or written form made by national education authorities/agencies about teacher education, while teacher education practice refers to the work that teachers do. Using the method of research synthesis, multi-layered, purposeful sampling of various data sources, Boolean and non-Boolean search strategies, qualitative and quantitative analytical procedures, the study identified over a hundred documents. Out of these, 77 documents met the criteria for inclusion in the study. The distribution of research outcomes by Anglophone West African countries were as follows: 18.2% were on Gambia, 27.3% were on Ghana, 10.4% were on Liberia, 24.7% were on Nigeria, and 19.5% were on Sierra Leone. From this research synthesis, it is evident that there is a gap between teacher education policy and practice in Anglophone West Africa. Most teacher education policies are "add-on," meaning that they were formulated as part of a larger national policy framework on basic, secondary and tertiary education. In addition, the research synthesis found that Gambia, Ghana, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone are very similar in terms of their pre-service teacher training models, but differ in their in-service and professional development systems, while Liberia has a slightly different in-service model with varying durations. The limitations and implications of the findings for further comparative and international education research are discussed in the chapter.

Using video for professional development: the role of the discussion facilitator - Coles, Alf (Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2013)
Past research into the use of video for professional development has failed to problematise or theorise sufficiently the role of the discussion facilitator. It has been reported consistently that it can be hard or take time to establish norms for discussion of video but little has been said about reasons why, or the role of the discussion facilitator. As a starting point in this area, I suggest fives aspects or decision points in the role of the facilitator. Two aspects are taken from the literature and the others are drawn from empirical data, collected as part of an enactivist study into the use of video in one sec- ondary school. At the school, teachers commented on finding video watching in a group more useful than lesson observation, with no evidence of this taking time to develop. I offer speculations, based on enactivist category theory, as to why the use of video in this school is effective. Having presented key aspects of the role of the facilitator of video use, a further look at the detail of the data from discussions serves to highlight some of the complexities involved in just one of the categories (and, by implication, the others). I conclude that the role of the facilitator cannot be separated from a consideration of the historical context in which discussion takes place.

Teaching Group Counseling in Botswana: Two U.S.-Trained Counselors Discuss Experiences and Share Cultural Considerations for Practice - Coker, Angela D.; Majuta, Aaron R. (Journal for Specialists in Group Work, 2015)
There is a paucity of research in the area of teaching group counseling within an African context. In this article we describe and reflect on our experiences teaching group counseling at an institution of higher learning in the country of Botswana. We discuss cultural traditions and strengths that support an environment of group work in Botswana, describe cross-cultural challenges we experienced along the way as we implemented Western-derived didactic and experiential components of group counseling training, and discuss the ways in which we addressed the cultural differences we encountered. Implications for future cross-cultural research and training are discussed.

Design Experiments in Educational Research - Cobb, Paul; Confrey, Jere; diSessa, Andrea; Lehrer, Richard; Schauble, Leona (Educational Researcher, 2003)
In this article, the authors first indicate the range of purposes and the variety of settings in which design experiments have been conducted and then delineate five crosscutting features that collectively differentiate design experiments from other methodologies. Design experiments have both a pragmatic bent??engineering? particular forms of learning?and a theoretical orientation?developing domain-specific theories by systematically studying those forms of learning and the means of supporting them. The authors clarify what is involved in preparing for and carrying out a design experiment, and in conducting a retrospective analysis of the extensive, longitudinal data sets generated during an experiment. Logistical issues, issues of measure, the importance of working through the data systematically, and the need to be explicit about the criteria for making inferences are discussed.

Geospatial Analysis: A New Window Into Educational Equity, Access, and Opportunity - Cobb, Casey D. (Review of Research in Education, 2020)
A robust body of geographic education policy research has been amassing over the past 25 years, as researchers from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds have recognized the value of examining education phenomena from a spatial perspective. In this chapter, I synthesize 42 studies that examine education issues using a geographic information system, or GIS. The review is framed by the major thread that runs through this body of research: educational equity, access, and opportunity. I summarize the research within seven theme-based research topics and offer examples of geospatial analysis as applied to education. The chapter includes a discussion of the major barriers and limitation facing GIS researchers and offers thoughts about the future.

Open Pedagogy: A Systematic Review of Empirical Findings - Clinton-Lisell, Virginia (Journal of Learning for Development, 2021)
Open licensing used in open educational resources allows for teaching and learning practices that are not possible with traditional copyright. There is a growing body of empirical research on open pedagogy. However, definitions and instantiations of open pedagogy vary in the literature. The purpose of this review was to systematically search and synthesize empirical findings on open pedagogy. In this, the definitions of open pedagogy across empirical reports were examined. Generally, open pedagogy was defined in the context of open licensing affordances; however, there were exceptions particularly when examining faculty experiences with open pedagogy. Synthesized findings may be used by faculty to inform use of open pedagogy especially when considering issues with student confusion and changing power dynamics.

Global Skill Partnerships: a proposal for technical training in a mobile world - Clemens, Michael A. (IZA Journal of Labor Policy, 2015)
Skilled workers emigrate from developing countries in rising numbers, raising fears of a drain on the human and financial resources of the countries they leave. This paper critiques existing policy proposals to address the development effects of skilled migration. It then proposes a new kind of ex ante public-private agreement to link skill formation and skilled migration for the mutual benefit of origin countries, destination countries, and migrants: ‘Global Skill Partnerships’. The paper describes how such an agreement might work in one profession (nursing) and one region (North Africa), and offers design lessons from related initiatives around the world.

Climate Responsive Design - Clegg, Peter; Sandeman, Isabel (Enabel, 2019)
Although countries in East-Africa seem to have a perfect climate, people are not fully benefiting or making efficient use of its potential. They suffer from insufficient daylight or overheating and live on sites that are not coherently organized nor efficiently utilised. Energy is wasted. Trees are considered an abundant energy provider, especially for cooking purposes or for burning bricks. The Forum on ‘Raising Awareness for Climate Responsive Design in East Africa’ took place in Kampala (Uganda) on 27th and 28th February 2019. It was organized by Enabel, the Belgian development agency, and the Construction Management Unit of the Ministry of Education and Sports. Enabel (until 2018 called ‘BTC’ or Belgian Technical Cooperation) has been active in Uganda since 2005 mainly in the Education and Healthcare sectors. The group of organizers and speakers at the Forum decided to sustain momentum and set up a platform that would bring together a community of professionals from private and public sectors, to work towards a higher positive impact on our environment and communities. This document is the first step in this process. The topics of the Forum cover both hard and soft issues that contribute to improving people’s living conditions and environment. They include participation, using local and durable materials, passive ventilation and natural daylighting, sustainable landscapes, and water and waste-management. Architects and engineers must learn to identify the constraints and opportunities of each project site and help local communities to develop their full potential. We hope this document will achieve the critical mass necessary to instigate lasting behavioural change in the way we are living in our environment.

Digital Games, Design, and Learning: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis - Clark, Douglas B.; Tanner-Smith, Emily E.; Killingsworth, Stephen S. (Review of Educational Research, 2016)
In this meta-analysis, we systematically reviewed research on digital games and learning for K-16 students. We synthesized comparisons of game versus nongame conditions (i.e., media comparisons) and comparisons of augmented games versus standard game designs (i.e., value-added comparisons). We used random-effects meta-regression models with robust variance estimates to summarize overall effects and explore potential moderator effects. Results from media comparisons indicated that digital games significantly enhanced student learning relative to nongame conditions ([Formula: see text] = 0.33, 95% confidence interval [0.19, 0.48], k = 57, n = 209). Results from value-added comparisons indicated significant learning benefits associated with augmented game designs ([Formula: see text] = 0.34, 95% confidence interval [0.17, 0.51], k = 20, n = 40). Moderator analyses demonstrated that effects varied across various game mechanics characteristics, visual and narrative characteristics, and research quality characteristics. Taken together, the results highlight the affordances of games for learning as well as the key role of design beyond medium.

Can Public Rankings Improve School Performance? Evidence from a Nationwide Reform in Tanzania - Cilliers, Jacobus; Mbiti, Isaac; Zeitlin, Andrew (Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE), 2019)
In 2013, Tanzania introduced “Big Results Now in Education”, a low-stakes accountability program that published both nationwide and within-district school rankings. Using data from the universe of school performance from 2011-2016, we identify the impacts of the reform using a diﬀerence-in-diﬀerences estimator that exploits the diﬀerential pressure exerted on schools at the top and bottom of their respective district rankings. We ﬁnd that BRN improved learning outcomes for schools in the bottom two deciles of their districts. However, the program also led schools to strategically exclude students from the terminal year of primary school.

How to Improve Teaching Practice?: An Experimental Comparison of Centralized Training and In-Classroom Coaching - Cilliers, Jacobus; Fleisch, Brahm; Prinsloo, Cas; Taylor, Stephen (Journal of Human Resources, 2020)

How to Improve Teaching Practice? Experimental Comparison of Centralized Training and In-classroom Coaching - Cilliers, Jacobus; Fleisch, Brahm; Prinsloo, Cas; Taylor, Stephen (Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE), 2018)
We experimentally compare two modes of in-service professional development for South African public primary school teachers. In both programs teachers received the same learning material and daily lesson plans, aligned to the ofﬁcial literacy curriculum. Pupils exposed to two years of the program improved their reading proﬁciency by 0.12 standard deviations if their teachers received centralized Training, compared to 0.24 if their teachers received in-class Coaching. Classroom observations reveal that teachers were more likely to split pupils into smaller reading groups, which enabled individualized attention and more opportunities to practice reading. Results vary by class size and baseline pupil reading proﬁciency.

We experimentally compare on-site with virtual coaching of South African teachers. After three years, on-site coaching improved students’ English oral language and reading proficiency by 0.31 and 0.13 SD, respectively. Virtual coaching improved English oral language proficiency (0.12 SD), had no impact on English reading proficiency, and an unintended negative effect on home language literacy. Classroom observations show that on-site coaching improved teaching practice and that virtual coaching led to larger crowding-out of home language teaching time. Implementation and survey data suggest that the use of technology did not preclude effectiveness, but rather that in-person contact enabled more accountability and support.

Artificial intelligence for strengthening healthcare systems in low- and middle-income countries: a systematic scoping review - Ciecierski-Holmes, Tadeusz; Singh, Ritvij; Axt, Miriam; Brenner, Stephan; Barteit, Sandra (npj Digital Medicine, 2022)
In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), AI has been promoted as a potential means of strengthening healthcare systems by a growing number of publications. We aimed to evaluate the scope and nature of AI technologies in the specific context of LMICs. In this systematic scoping review, we used a broad variety of AI and healthcare search terms. Our literature search included records published between 1st January 2009 and 30th September 2021 from the Scopus, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Global Health and APA PsycInfo databases, and grey literature from a Google Scholar search. We included studies that reported a quantitative and/or qualitative evaluation of a real-world application of AI in an LMIC health context. A total of 10 references evaluating the application of AI in an LMIC were included. Applications varied widely, including: clinical decision support systems, treatment planning and triage assistants and health chatbots. Only half of the papers reported which algorithms and datasets were used in order to train the AI. A number of challenges of using AI tools were reported, including issues with reliability, mixed impacts on workflows, poor user friendliness and lack of adeptness with local contexts. Many barriers exists that prevent the successful development and adoption of well-performing, context-specific AI tools, such as limited data availability, trust and evidence of cost-effectiveness in LMICs. Additional evaluations of the use of AI in healthcare in LMICs are needed in order to identify their effectiveness and reliability in real-world settings and to generate understanding for best practices for future implementations.

Information and communication technology: The pivot of teaching and learning of skills in electrical and electronics technology programme in Nigeria - Chukwuedo (International Journal of Vocational and Technical Education, 2013)
The polymorphous nature of teaching and learning has contributed to the quest for skills delivery and acquisition at any place and pace. Teaching and learning of skills in electrical and electronics programme cannot be restricted to the traditional classroom settings, but should adopt favourable and acceptable technological dynamism. The inadequacy in the supply of facilities and qualified manpower perhaps has contributed to the need for skills delivery and acquisition in electrical and electronics programme through other technological means. One of such means found achievable is information and communication technologies (ICTs). This paper therefore reviewed ICTs as the pivot of globalizing teaching and learning of skills in electrical and electronics technology programme. The paper identified some of the skills in this programme, and ICTs that can be used to teach and learn the skills, by both normal and impaired teachers and learners. The findings from the survey questioning revealed that learners unavoidably support their teaching-learning situation with ICTs. It was therefore concluded that ICTs are pivot of teaching and learning of electrical and electronic skills.

The MOOC Phenomenon: Who Takes Massive Open Online Courses and Why? - Christensen, Gayle; Steinmetz, Andrew; Alcorn, Brandon; Bennett, Amy; Woods, Deirdre; Emanuel, Ezekiel (Social Science Research Network, 2013)
Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have commanded considerable public attention due to their sudden rise and disruptive potential. But there are no robust, published data that describe who is taking these courses and why they are doing so. As such, we do not yet know how transformative the MOOC phenomenon can or will be. We conducted an online survey of students enrolled in at least one of the University of Pennsylvania’s 32 MOOCs offed on the Coursera platform. The student population tends to be young, well educated, and employed, with a majority from developed countries. There are significantly more males than females taking MOOCs, especially in BRIC and other developing countries. Students’ main reasons for taking a MOOC are advancing in their current job and satisfying curiosity. The individuals the MOOC revolution is supposed to help the most — those without access to higher education in developing countries — are underrepresented among the early adopters.

Understanding the impact of district-level decision -making on the distribution of highly qualified teachers: A multi-method and geo -spatial approach - Choi, Daniel S. (Arizona State University, 2007)
June 30, 2006 was the deadline under the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act for ensuring “...that poor and minority children were not taught at higher rates than other children by inexperienced, unqualified, or out-of-field teachers...” In the weeks after the deadline, the US Department of Education informed state departments of education that while no extension had been declared, states can still be in good standing if they show a “good faith” effort. Though states bear this responsibility, districts have the most direct influence on the distribution of “highly qualified” teachers. It is the district that directly recruits, selects, hires, and places teachers in all its schools. Therefore, the district makes the final decisions that control, in many ways, the balance of the distribution. This study, therefore, takes a district-level perspective for understanding the distribution of highly qualified teachers (HQTs) across schools. A multiple methods study approach was used to understand the various influences on the distribution of highly qualified teachers. In particular, I used three distinct, yet related methods in this study. They were: (1) Quantitative Analysis; (2) Geographical Analysis; and (3) Qualitative Analysis. The quantitative analyses revealed that weaker definitions of teacher quality mask the teacher quality shortage and gap that exists between local districts and between schools of varying demographic characteristics---particularly those with high concentrations of poor and minority students. The geographical analyses suggested that quality of geographical space influenced the presence of teacher quality in schools. Lastly, the qualitative analyses revealed that the district plays a mediating role as it enacts its own policy. In this process, the district is both influenced and is itself an influence on the final distribution of HQTs. The interviews with district and school staff revealed that the district's definition of teacher quality becomes stronger as the process moves closer to an actual hiring decision. It is at the school site where they seem to apply or screen for the fuller range of characteristics consistent with what the literature has identified as a HQT. In the end, these findings contribute to understanding the distribution of teacher quality more fully.

Social Justice and Diversity in Zambia: The Role of Civic Education and Teachers - Chivunda, Kaumba; Kabombwe, Yvonne; Mwanza, Christine; Mupeta, Sydney (Asian Journal of Education and Social Studies, 2023)
This article explores the role civic education plays in social justice and diversity in Zambia from the civic education teacher’s perspective as well as establish the extent to which teacher’s themselves are actively engaged in social justice and diversity. Predicated on the fundamental role civic education plays in teaching and promoting diversity and social justice, it is highly expected that civic education teachers should be the lodestars in undertaking this activity. It is noted that teachers of civic education can bring about social justice in society; this can be achieved through active participation in local communities and consolidating the teaching of democracy, human rights and promotion of participation within people’s local communities and global level for social justice. Therefore, the teaching for diversification is of great significance in the delivery of Civic Education in Zambia both at teacher training and secondary school level. Anchored on the explanatory design as a methodological bedrock, this study found that teachers where not actively engaged with issues of diversity. The study concludes that there is little to no engagement among teachers in diversity and in bringing about social change especially on matters that affect the wider community. This is partly attributed to the impractical nature in which Civic Education is delivered at secondary school or tertiary level. The study recommends that different approaches to the teaching of civic education must be introduced in the civic education curriculum.

Systematic literature review on opportunities, challenges, and future research recommendations of artificial intelligence in education - Chiu, Thomas K. F.; Xia, Qi; Zhou, Xinyan; Chai, Ching Sing; Cheng, Miaoting (Computers and Education: Artificial Intelligence, 2023)
Applications of artificial intelligence in education (AIEd) are emerging and are new to researchers and practitioners alike. Reviews of the relevant literature have not examined how AI technologies have been integrated into each of the four key educational domains of learning, teaching, assessment, and administration. The relationships between the technologies and learning outcomes for students and teachers have also been neglected. This systematic review study aims to understand the opportunities and challenges of AIEd by examining the literature from the last 10 years (2012–2021) using matrix coding and content analysis approaches. The results present the current focus of AIEd research by identifying 13 roles of AI technologies in the key educational domains, 7 learning outcomes of AIEd, and 10 major challenges. The review also provides suggestions for future directions of AIEd research.

Bandwidth management in universities in Zimbabwe: Towards a responsible user base through effective policy implementation - Chitanana, Lockias (International Journal of Education and Development using Information and Communication Technology; Bridgetown, 2012)
This research was undertaken to investigate the issue of how to maximise or make efficient use of bandwidth. In particular, the research sought to find out about what universities in Zimbabwe are doing to manage their bandwidth. It was, therefore, appropriate to survey a sample of five universities and to catalogue their experiences. Results show that most universities in our sample did not have an official Acceptance Use Policy (AUP) to assist with bandwidth management. Successful provision of managed network bandwidth within a university is likely to involve the application of many tools encompassing a number of different techniques. These products are often expensive and are rarely available for loan. Fortunately, a cost-effective solution exists for all universities that can be deployed regardless of the campus' existing network configuration or installed devices. The authors recommend that using Quality of Service (QoS) and Bandwidth management will enable network administrators to control network traffic flow so that appropriate users and applications get priority during the allocation of network resources. Also, universities must contain in their IT policies a meaningful AUP which will help universities to develop and refine usage and access as well as plan for network resource allocation.

The State of Inclusive Education in Zimbabwe: Bachelor of Education (Special Needs Education) Students’ Perceptions - Chireshe, Regis (Journal of Social Sciences, 2013)
The study sought to establish the current state of inclusive education in Zimbabwe. Focus was on the perceived gains of inclusive education, challenges in its implementation and how the challenges could be addressed. A survey design which was fundamentally qualitative in nature was used. Forty-two Bachelor of Education (Special Needs Education)(BEd SNE) purposefully selected students from Great Zimbabwe University participated in the study. The data were collected using an open ended questionnaire and were content analysed. The results revealed that the participants perceived inclusive education as having resulted in social acceptance of children with special educational needs. They perceived inclusion as having promoted positive attitudes among children without disabilities and in communities. Stigmatisation and discrimination were perceived as having been reduced. The challenges that were still perceived to be experienced included: lack of specific policy on inclusive education; scarcity of resources such as special needs education trained teachers and assistive devices; existence of negative attitudes among some stakeholders and lack of understanding of the meaning of inclusive education. The participants suggested several ways to address some of the above challenges. These included enacting a specific policy on inclusive education, training more teachers in special needs education, implementing more community awareness programmes, having itinerant specialist teachers, sufficient funding of the education system as a whole and availing more resources for inclusion.

Improvement needs of Nigerian technical college teachers in teaching vocational and technical subjects - Chinonso Okolie, Ugochukwu; Nwonu Elom, Elisha; Uchechukwu Osuji, Catherine; Agu Igwe, Paul (International Journal of Training Research, 2019)
© 2019, © 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. This study examined key areas in which Nigerian technical college teachers need improvements to effectively teach vocational and technical subjects to foster skills acquisition and improve the quality of graduates. The study was conducted in nine technical colleges in the south-eastern region of Nigeria. It adopted a mixed methods approach and data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 87 teachers and two focus groups with 14 of the teachers. The quantitative data were analysed using simple percentages, while the qualitative data were analysed thematically. Patterns of responses among respondents suggested that technical teachers need improvements in instructional planning, workshop management, student management, facilities and equipment management for effective teaching of vocational and technical subjects, and for improved learners’ experience to acquire relevant skills to be either paid or self-employed.

Evaluation of the transformative potential of positive gender socialization in education for peace building - Chinen, Marjorie; Elmeski, Mohammed (Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2016)
American Institutes for Research (AIR) is conducting an impact evaluation of The United Nations Children's Emergency Fund's (UNICEF's) teacher-training program and reinforcing text messages that aim to provide meaningful knowledge regarding the transformative potential of positive gender socialization in education for peace building in the region of Karamoja, Uganda. The impact evaluation assesses the effects of the teacher-training program, with an emphasis on gender socialization, on teachers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices concerned with gender equity, and positive gender socialization. The authors implemented a mixed-methods research design for the impact evaluation, using quantitative and qualitative methods. They compared the outcomes of interest among the teachers who benefit from the program with the outcomes of interest of comparable teachers in different schools who do not benefit from the program. The impact evaluation is based on an eight-month intervention, with baseline data collected in March 2015 and endline data collected in November 2015. One hundred five schools from eight Coordinating Centre Tutors (CCTs) located in the districts of Abim, Kaabong, and Napak are participating in the study, with a third of the schools receiving the training plus reinforcing text messages (the "complete intervention" group), another third receiving the teacher training only (the "limited intervention" group), and the other third not receiving any of the interventions (the control or "business as usual" group). A total of 916 teachers working in the 105 schools at the time of baseline data collection were surveyed. Provided that the various stakeholders respond in the manner anticipated, the trainings--and potentially the active teacher support and engagement delivered using the mobile SMS platform--should lead to a set of initial effects or intermediate outcomes. Tables and figures are appended.

A Systematic Review On Education for Sustainable Development: Enhancing TVE Teacher Training Programme - Chinedu C.C.; Wan Mohamed W.A.; Ajah A.O. (Journal of Technical Education and Training, 2018)
As the call for the advancement of TVET deepens, and as skill requirement for vocations transcends traditional job requirements due to technological advancement and innovation. It becomes imperative that workers in the industrial and vocational ambits of nations develop the requisite skills and capacities for work in the 21st century that adheres to sustainable standards and meets market needs also. Thereby, contributing to societal wellbeing and community development. To achieve this goal, teachers in Technical and Vocational Education (TVE) have a crucial to play as they will be responsible for the training of workers and developing their skills and capacities for work necessary to improving societal well-being and community development. The challenge is that technical and vocational teachers are not being trained to develop capabilities for Sustainability. Using a systematic literature review, this paper critically examines the extant literature on education for sustainable development and provides a synthesis of the literature in identifying the shared message that SD and ESD models attempt to represent. Furthermore, the paper discusses the factors that foster societal well-being and community development through an ESD perspective. Conclusively emphasis is paid on the unique and significant role that technical and Vocational teachers can play in contributing towards the transition to sustainable development. Consequently, this paper culminates with an analysis of the various ways TVE can help contribute towards societal wellbeing and community development if SD is rightly integrated within TVE teacher training programs.

Teachers' views about technical education: implications for reforms towards a broad based technology curriculum in Malawi - Chikasanda, VK; K Otrel-Cass, K; Jones, A (International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2011)
Internationally there has been concern about the direction of technical education and how it is positioned in schools. This has also been the case in Malawi where the curriculum has had a strong focus on skills development. However, lately there has been a call for enhancing technological literacy of students, yet little support has been provided for teachers to achieve this goal. This paper reports from a wider study that looked at teachers’ existing views and practices in technical education in Malawi. The article focuses on the findings from interviews that were conducted with six secondary school teachers to find out about their understanding of the meaning and rationale for technical education. It is also discussed how the teachers view technical education as involving skills development for making things and their thoughts on the benefits of such knowledge. It is argued that teachers’ views about technical education were strongly linked to the goals of the curriculum vacationalization policies adopted at the dawn of political independence. Besides skills training they saw the potential to impart thinking skills related to design and problem solving, and the need for essential pedagogical techniques to support learning in technical education. Examination requirements, inadequate opportunities to conduct practical activities and a lack of supportive policy were seen as limiting factors. This article claims that teachers’ views were shaped by their expectations and beliefs about the nature of technical education and what they perceived students may gain from such learning. Their views were also influenced by contextual factors which may have implications on reforms towards broader notions of technology education.

Challenges of Using Icibemba in the Learning of Initial Literacy in Selected Primary Schools in Serenje District of Zambia: An Analysis of Views of Teachers and Learners - Chibesakunda, Mwimba; Mulenga, Innocent Mutale (Multidisciplinary Journal of Language and Social Sciences Education (2664-083X, Online ISSN: Print ISSN: 2616-4736), 2019)
The purpose of this study was to establish views and investigate challenges faced by teachers and learners in the use of Icibemba in teaching initial literacy in primary schools in Serenje district. A descriptive research design supported by qualitative data collection techniques was employed. A purposive sampling procedure was used to select all the participants giving the study a sample size of 56 comprising of 40 grade four learners and 16 of their teachers sampled from 10 primary schools. Researchers decided to have more learners in this study since they were the direct beneficiaries of the curriculum. And thus the need to have a wider view from them. This was also done so as to have enough participants from each school. Data was collected through interviews, focus group discussions and classroom observations of literacy lessons. Lesson observation was used to get first hand information on the learning experiences and helped the researchers to triangulate with what participants expressed during interviews and focus group discussions. Focus group discussions and interviews enabled participants to provide their detailed views of the exact situation learners and teachers encountered. Thematic analysis was used to analyze all the data. It involved organizing data through use of open, axial and selective coding before presenting the emerging themes. The findings revealed that although the Ministry of General Education zoned Serenje district under Icibemba instead of Icilala in teaching initial literacy, learners’ performance was low because the language used in school was unfamiliar to learners. Additionally, findings also showed that there was a lack of teacher’s guide books and learners’ text books to use in teaching initial literacy hence teacher’s delivery of lessons was negatively affected. Researchers concluded that learners performed poorly in literacy due to the fact that the zoned language was unfamiliar to learners in that area where it was used as a medium of teaching literacy. It is therefore recommended that the Ministry of General Education through the Curriclum Development Center should develop and produce and distribute learning materials for the teaching of literacy in grades one to four. Furthermore, lessons for literacy should be taught using concrete and real teaching and learning resources that can enhance learning. Additionally, there is a need to start thinking about the possibility of rezoning the whole country.
