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...

Meeting in Mauritius in May 2014, COL Focal Points from Africa and the Mediterranean Regions reviewed the state of ODL in their respective countries and proceeded to map out their strategic plans for 2015–2018. The report from Cameroon demonstrated that although the country is making some progress in the domain of ODL, it lacks an ODL policy framework, a national body to manage distance education and expertise in the field of ODL. To address the issues raised, it was important to establish...

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...

The School of Accessible and Visualized Electromagnetics (SAVE), a teaching and learning resource management consortium in Taiwan, has been formed to coordinate teachers from the field of electromagnetics (EM) to develop and share innovative teaching materials. Based on the cloud concept and following the simplicity, accessibility, visualization, and edutainment (S.A.V.E.) principles, various types of teaching resources, such as slides, problem sets, video clips, and interactive online...

Inadequate potable water supply remains one of the challenges of residents of Minna Metropolis, Niger State, Nigeria owing to the basement complex terrain underlying the area. The rapid increase in population in the area, which is due to its proximity to the nation’s capital city (Abuja) among others, has led to a corresponding increase in the demand for potable water for domestic, irrigational and industrial uses which public water by government could not meet. Consequently, the inhabitants...

Boys are doing worse in school than are girls, which has been dubbed “the Boy Crisis.” An analysis of the latest data on educational outcomes among boys and girls reveals extensive disparities in grades, reading and writing test scores, and other measurable educational outcomes, and these disparities exist across family resources and race. Focusing on disadvantaged schoolchildren, I then examine whether time investments made by boys and girls related to computer use contribute to the gender...

Improvements in empirical research standards for credible identification of the causal impact of education policies on education outcomes have led to a significant increase in the body of evidence available on improving education outcomes in developing countries. This chapter aims to synthesize this evidence, interpret their results, and discuss the reasons why some interventions appear to be effective and others do not, with the ultimate goal of drawing implications for both research and...

This paper critically reviews the youth unemployment crisis in resource-rich Sub-Saharan Africa. Although the region has experienced continuous and a seemingly limitless flow of investment in all types of extractive industries in recent decades, this growth has not directly translated into significant poverty reduction. Its overdependence on natural resources economically seems to have had a negative impact on socioeconomic development overall, generating very few jobs for youth and...
