A Commonwealth Guide to Ocean Climate Finance: A Guidance Document for Policy-Makers and Ocean Advocates - Secretariat, Commonwealth (Commonwealth iLibrary, 2022)
Drawing from a wide range of resources on ocean climate finance, this guide is intended to support practitioners, policy-makers and ocean advocates to understand the ‘seascape’ of ocean climate finance, and empower them to design and develop more successful ocean climate finance applications. It introduces the special characteristics of ocean-based mitigation and adaptation projects, explains the diffferent sources and types of finance available, and equips readers with a practical understanding of the priorities of different funding groups from both the public and private sectors. The global ocean is a critically important component of the Earth’s biosphere and climate system, but it faces tremendous threats from the impacts of climate change, including warming, acidification, pollution and development. While the global landscape of climate finance is growing quickly, funding for ocean-based climate mitigation and adaptation projects remains disproportionately small. In this context, the guide provides a clear and practical guide for project design and development, including best practices for securing finance and a wealth of tools and resources for those seeking funding for ocean-based initiatives. These include decision trees to identify the best funding match for your project; checklists for finance applications; and perhaps most importantly, a long-term, strategic approach to project development that is focused on building communities of practice and partnerships between governments, the private sector, public institutions, civil society organisations and communities. It also includes summaries of funding sources and investment models, as well as case studies and examples of best practice. The guide encourages project proponents to pursue long-term planning for crosscutting projects that deliver multiple integrated goals, both environmental and social. Recognising and addressing the unique features and opportunities of ocean-based projects, and the barriers to them, can contribute to realistic and impactful project design. Furthermore, proactively building partnerships with the private sector allows project proponents to access the largest source of finance in the global economy as well as its associated skills and resources.

Addressing Online Violence Against Women and Girls in the Commonwealth Africa Region: The Role of Bystanders - Secretariat, Commonwealth (Commonwealth iLibrary, 2023)
This report provides a summary of the phenomenon of online violence against women in various African Commonwealth membercountries and describes the legal frameworks and their limitations and the challenges these present. The report also makes suggestions on how totackle these issues in order to find solutions to the problem of online violence against women and girls.

Addressing Online Violence Against Women and Girls in the Commonwealth Asia Region: The Role of Bystanders - Secretariat, Commonwealth (Commonwealth iLibrary, 2023)
Online violence is increasing rapidly and is emerging as one of the biggest threats facing the online world today. Acts of online violence take multiple forms, including cyberstalking, cyberbullying, sexual harassment, sex trolling, doxing, hate speech, public shaming and intimidation. Broadly speaking, online violence against women and girls and the victimisation pattern in Commonwealth Asia member countries are consistent with the overall global trend. However, given unique formal and informal institutions in these countries, perpetration and victimisation related to OVAWG have many significant aspects that are different from most other countries in the world. As a result of underdeveloped regulations and regulatory infrastructure related to OVAWG, it is difficult to arrest, prosecute and convict the perpetrators in most of these countries. Meanwhile, societal norms tend to make victims of OVAWG feel devalued and excluded.

Addressing Online Violence Against Women and Girls in the Commonwealth Caribbean and the Americas: The Role of Bystanders - Secretariat, Commonwealth (Commonwealth iLibrary, 2023)
The purpose of this report is to map the prevalence of online violence against women and girls, with a particular focus on so-called innocent bystanders and the state of laws, institutions, policies and practices within the Caribbean and Americas regionof the Commonwealth (Canada). Cyberviolence against women and girls in the Commonwealth countries of the Caribbean and Americas (Canada) is recognised as a serious problem, and measures are being taken to address it. The prevalence of cyberviolence in terms of its root causes and impacts is gender based, with a disproportionate impact on females and marginalised individuals where there is also intersectionality of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, poverty, disability and other socioeconomic factors. Similar types of violence against women and girls often occur in both offline and online spheres or originate in one sphere and carried through into the other. In the most serious cases, cyberviolence can lead to physical assaults and even suicide.

Addressing Online Violence Against Women and Girls in the Commonwealth Europe Region: The Role of Bystanders - Secretariat, Commonwealth (Commonwealth iLibrary, 2023)
This report contributes to the Commonwealth study on online violence against women and girls (OVAWG) and considers the prevalence of online violence and the role of bystanders as well as therelevant laws, institutions, policies and practices to address the problem in the European region of the Commonwealth, namely Cyprus, Malta and the United Kingdom of Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) and Northern Ireland (UK). The report highlights the complex nature of OVAWG and the difficulties associated with differences in terminology resulting in inconsistent data collection and varied legal responses across the European region of the Commonwealth. It also details the role of bystanders and their criminal or civil liability that, it argues, are relatively new considerations in the OVAWG space. An understanding of the nature and presentation ofOVAWG is required by bystanders, including the impact on victims to drive action.

Addressing Online Violence Against Women and Girls in the Commonwealth Pacific Region: The Role of Bystanders - Secretariat, Commonwealth (Commonwealth iLibrary, 2023)
This report focuses on the role of online bystanders in reducing online violence against women and girls (VAWG), including consideration of any related policies or laws. Given the relatively recent emergence of bystanders as potential facilitators and exacerbators of online crime, policy responses have tended to focus on the virtual versions of existing physical crimes, such as ‘cyber’ bullying and ‘cyber’ stalking, and/or the dissemination of intimate images online (when previously they might have been posted on a physical bulletin board). Moreover, these policy responses have tended to focus on capturing perpetrators, but not bystanders, within a legislative framework.

Bridging the Human Rights Implementation Gap: A Commonwealth Survey - Secretariat, Commonwealth (Commonwealth iLibrary, 2023)
In January 2022, the Commonwealth Secretariat launched a survey of national frameworks for the implementation of international human rights obligations in Commonwealth member states. The primary objectives of the survey were to: a. Contribute to the body of knowledge, such as studies conducted by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and other organisations, on the role and effectiveness of National Mechanisms for Implementation, Reporting and Follow-up (NMIRFs). Recent OHCHR studies have shown that NMIRFs are vital for improved implementation and reporting on human rights. They have identified several essential ‘capacities’ for enhanced performance, including engagement, co-ordination, consultation and information management. b. Map existing national systems for implementation, reporting and follow-up to understand how they implement their mandates, and thereby facilitate an exchange of good practice and lessons learnt. c. Understand specific needs for further technical assistance for Commonwealth member states to establish and/or strengthen NMIRFs. d. Provide information to be used in advocacy for formulating common guiding principles on NMIRFs.

Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) Toolkit: Long form version - Secretariat, Commonwealth (Commonwealth iLibrary, 2022)
High-quality and accessible Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) lays the foundation for healthy and well-functioning societies. Effective ECCE systems equip young children with the means to develop to their fullest potential during their formative years, in a safe and inspiring environment, nurtured by well trained professional teachers and carers. The Commonwealth’s ECCE Toolkit has been designed as a resource for Ministers of Education and officials to increase access to quality ECCE services, for ages 0 to 8 years, using a multi-sectoral approach. This toolkit outlines five features to support this approach, covering topics including conducting situational ECCE sector analyses, planning and implementing quality services,methods to expand access, and monitoring and evaluating ECCE systems. In addition, it aims to assist governments in ensuring these services are responsive to the rights, needs, and capabilities of children, their families and their communities.

Environmental, Social and Governance Practices for Value Creation in the Commonwealth - Secretariat, Commonwealth (Commonwealth iLibrary, 2023)
The concept of ESG is used to effectively assess longer-term environmental, social and governance risks and opportunities for firms. It has gained traction in recent years with the public sector and with international finance institutions. Three key challenges remain to ensure effective ESG sector outcomes and growth. First, the most common criticism of ESG is that it provides opportunities for companies to engage in ‘greenwashing’ – inflating their sustainability credentials while continuing business-as-usual. Second, the application of ESG lacks a clear or standardised definition or assessment methodology. This results in high uncertainty around scoring and impact. Finally, although ESG has been growing in all regions, the maturity of regulatory and policy frameworks is highly unequal.

Fiscal Policy Options for Resilient and Sustainable Development - Secretariat, Commonwealth (Commonwealth iLibrary, 2023)
Creating enabling environments and the capacity to access and generate multidimensional financing for development, climate change and enhanced resilience, remains challenging amid global pressures. One feasible approach is to revisit the criteria for financing allocation and the management of earmarked international transfers and debt relief. This paper focuses on fiscal policy options for resilient and sustainable development. An appropriate design and mix of national taxes would help raise revenues efficiently, reduce the cost of doing business and the barriers to exports, and encourage economic integration to counteract disruptions in global value chains.

Parametric Climate Insurance Using Blockchain Technology: A Feasibility Study on Technical and Economic Viability in Fiji - Secretariat, Commonwealth (Commonwealth iLibrary, 2022)
Blockchain technology has the potential to drive efficiencies throughout the insurance value chain. This study aimed to investigate the likely customer demand for, technical feasibility and economic viability of blockchain-based climate catastrophe insurance (BBCCI) in Fiji. The report analysed BBCCI’s application in the context of Fiji by undertaking a technical feasibility assessment, which was followed by an economic feasibility assessment. Based on these assessments, a roadmap for the implementation of BBCCI in Fiji is recommended.

Realising Article 24 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Case Studies in Mainstreaming and Inclusive Education - Secretariat, Commonwealth (Commonwealth iLibrary, 2023)
As part of an ongoing commitment to support the development of a more inclusive education system across Commonwealth countries, the Commonwealth Secretariat commissioned documentation to support good policy and practice, particularly on including students with disabilities in mainstream education. This has been prepared with the objective of initiating a wider dialogue on inclusive practices for mainstreaming disability.This document provides examples from 11 Commonwealth countries, highlighting the process of change that is underway in these countries and the evolution of policies and strategies to improve access to education for children with disabilities.It additionally provides models and self-assessment tools to support policy-makers and education professionals as they work towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 to ensure inclusive andequitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.

Is technology good for education? - Selwyn, Neil (Polity Press, 2016)
Digital technologies are a key feature of contemporary education. Schools, colleges and universities operate along high-tech lines, while alternate forms of online education have emerged to challenge the dominance of traditional institutions. According to many experts, the rapid digitization of education over the past ten years has undoubtedly been a ‘good thing’. Is Technology Good For Education? offers a critical counterpoint to this received wisdom, challenging some of the central ways in which digital technology is presumed to be positively affecting education. Instead Neil Selwyn considers what is being lost as digital technologies become ever more integral to education provision and engagement. Crucially, he questions the values, agendas and interests that stand to gain most from the rise of digital education. This concise, up-to-the-minute analysis concludes by considering alternate approaches that might be capable of rescuing and perhaps revitalizing the ideals of public education, while not denying the possibilities of digital technology altogether.

Assistive technology for students with visual disability in schools for the blind in Delhi - Senjam, Suraj Singh; Foster, Allen; Bascaran, Covadonga; Vashist, Praveen; Gupta, Vivek (Disability and Rehabilitation: Assistive Technology, 2020)
Background: To understand the awareness and utilization of assistive technology in students at schools for the blind in Delhi.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among 250 students selected randomly from 10 blind schools in Delhi. Binocular distance presenting and pinhole vision acuity were assessed using Snellen “E” chart and a multiple pinhole occluder. Students were also interviewed using a questionnaire about 42 assistive devices to understand their awareness and use.Results: Male participants were 72.8%. Of the total, 27.6% students had best corrected visual acuity <6/18 to 1/60, and the rest had <1/60 vision. The awareness about tactile and sound-based technology was good among students: Braille books (98%), Braille slate and stylus (99.2%), handheld audio recorders (77.6%) and screen readers (77.2%). Good awareness was reported for abacus (88.8%), walking long canes (94.4%) and smart cane (89.6%), audible balls (96%), Braille chess (82.8%) and talking watch (98%). Among the students with <6/18 to 1/60 vision, the awareness of visual based technology ranged from 0.8% (typoscope) to 43.6% (video magnifiers). Braille technology was used for reading by 96.4% (books) and for writing by 96.8% (Braille slate and stylus) irrespective of visual status. Other devices were poorly used ranging from nil (typoscope) to 55% (screen readers). The use of math and science learning devices was poor (<20%). Walking canes were used by 59% of students whereas 87.2% students used audible ball for games.Conclusion: The results showed that majority of students used tactile based technology irrespective of visual status.Implications for rehabilitationStudents with visual disability need assistive technology for a wide range of activities including academic learning.Students in schools for the blind who have binocular best corrected vision acuity of 1/60 or better should be encouraged to use visual based assistive technology instead of tactile based.Students with binocular best corrected vision acuity less than1/60 should be encouraged to use other available tactile and sound-based assistive technologies as well as Braille books and Braille slate and stylus for their academic activities including maths and sciences.Teachers should be trained in the use of various assistive technologies for reading, writing, maths, sciences, sports, mobility and activities of daily living.

Contract Type and Teacher Absenteeism in Benin: The Role of Teacher’s Supplemental Income - Senou, Barthelemy Mahugnon (2021)
Absenteeism is a phenomenon that has been noted in professional circles with consequences on the income of the wage earner as well as the profits of the firm, consequences that led, according to statistics from 2005, to losses in public finance amounting to close to 70 billion francs for the Government of Benin. Despite such losses, very few studies in economics have focused on the subject in order to try and give an understanding of the real causes of absenteeism and its consequences. The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between the status of the teacher, supplemental income of the teacher, and the absenteeism of the teacher. Using data from PASEC-CONFEMEN 2005, that will be applied to a theoretical model that we are developing, and through the use of a Tobit empirical method, after having taken the endogeneity bias on the practice of supplemental income generating activities by the teacher into account, this study demonstrates that the practice of income generating activities by teachers positively influences their absenteeism, with contract teachers being more frequently absent than those who are on permanent and pensionable employment contracts. Through linking the level of prices in a locality with absenteeism behaviours, we make it clear that the reasons for absenteeism are mostly related to low purchasing power in the context of earning relatively meagre salaries. These results elicit a set of recommendations that essentially suggest that there should be an improvement in the salaries and working conditions of teachers.

Differences of TVET teachers’ perceptions on competency across different types of TVET institutions in nigeria - Sern, Lai Chee; Hamisu, Mohammed Adamu; Salleh, Kahirol Mohd; Adamu, Babayo Yakubu (International Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering, 2019)
© BEIESP. Competency is regarded as one of the main elements related to human resource development because it supports the aims of an organisation and the capabilities of its employees. This paper aimed at finding out the differences of the TVET teachers’ perceptions on competency (Thinking, Organizational and Application Competencies) across the three categorises of Nigerian tertiary institutions (University, Polytechnics, and College of Education) based on Malaysian Human Resource Development Practitioners (MHRDP) Competency Model. The study was quantitative by nature and 218 questionnaires were distributed to TVET teachers in five tertiary institutions based on stratified sampling technique. A total of 205 questionnaires were retrieved and ANOVA was conducted for data analysis. The present findings revealed that there was no statistically significant differences of the TVET teachers’ perceptions across the three categorises of Nigerian tertiary institutions in terms of Thinking Competency, Organisational Competency, and Application Competency. This outcome reflects that the competency model (MHRDP) can be used by TVET teachers regardless of their affiliated TVET institutions.

Children, Learning and Chronic Natural Disasters: How Does the Government of Dominica Address Education During Low-Intensity Hurricanes? - Serrant, Ted Donaldson (2014)
By the time today’s Grade K students graduate high school in the Commonwealth of Dominica, they will have experienced five major and many low-intensity hurricanes (LIH). Between August and November each year, each hurricane, major or low-intensity, represents a major threat to their safety and schooling. This mixed-method case study investigated how the Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica (GOCD) addressed education during low-intensity hurricanes. I identified and discussed government’s assertions, actions and consequences associated with education and LIH. I reviewed ten official documents to identify government’s policies and assertions about education and LIH. I interviewed nine key senior or elite officers in the Ministries of Finance, Public Works and Education responsible for handling low-intensity hurricanes to identify their perspectives and actions. I also interviewed ten school principals who experienced Hurricane Dean in 2007 and Hurricane Ophelia in 2011 on their experiences and perspectives. Finally, I inspected ten school buildings to assess the extent to which repairs adhered to building codes and standards as mitigation strategy for LIH. Theoretically, this study proposed an adaptive developmental approach as an anticipatory approach that sustainably incorporates LIH into educational development, planning and operations. Results of this study indicated that government and its agencies adopted a response-recovery approach based on the perception of disasters as “Acts of God” and insufficient local funds to address them. This resulted in proposed externally-based funding strategies that have not been implemented since announced in 2006. There appears to be the desire to shift to anticipatory mitigation-risk reduction approaches rather than the present response-recovery approach. This would have to be articulated in language that is binding. Institutional and administrative frameworks for addressing low-intensity hurricanes and education were described as not meeting their mission and objectives. The result was a set of administrative failures that cascaded from the national to the ministerial level and onto schools putting children at risk as LIH events unfolded. Principals were left mostly on their own without the appropriate training, support and working communication links to address LIH; unable to safely evacuate students in the case of Hurricane Ophelia. The Ministry of education must become a lead agency in LIH management. The Ministry of Education needs to put in place policies, institutional and financial frameworks for managing education during LIH. This should include LIH professional development for teachers, principals and elite officers; development of school disaster plans; the conduct of regular disaster drills and exercises at schools, and rescheduling lost instruction days. Finally, LIH as chronic events must be incorporated into the plans, budget and operations of the Ministry of Education using the adaptive developmental approach.

Evaluating the Implementation Fidelity of Technology Immersion and its Relationship with Student Achievement - Shapley, Kelly S.; Sheehan, Daniel; Maloney, Catherine; Caranikas-Walker, Fanny (The Journal of Technology, Learning and Assessment, 2010)
In a pilot study of the Technology Immersion model, high-need middle schools were “immersed” in technology by providing a laptop for each student and teacher, wireless Internet access, curricular and assessment resources, professional development, and technical and pedagogical support. This article examines the fidelity of model implementation and associations between implementation indicators and student achievement. Results across three years for 21 immersion schools show that the average levels of school support for Technology Immersion and teachers’ Classroom Immersion increased slightly, while the level of Student Access and Use declined. Implementation quality varied across schools and classrooms, with a quarter or less of schools and core-content classrooms reaching substantial implementation. Using hierarchical linear modeling, we found that teacher-level implementation components (Immersion Support, Classroom Immersion) were inconsistent and mostly not statistically significant predictors of student achievement, whereas students’ use of laptops outside of school for homework and learning games was the strongest implementation mediator of achievement.

Empowering Individuals to Empower the Nation Nigeria - Sharehu, A; Achor, E (National Association for Science, Humanities & Education Research Journal, 2014)
This paper examined strategies of empowering individuals to empower the nation with focus on Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET), Entrepreneurship Education (EE) and Information Communication Technology (ICT). It is established that from history TVE was not given its prominent place and that may have accounted for the slow and lagging nature of advancement in TVE. Consequently, future progress will be determined by the level of empowerment given to individuals in schools which is predicated upon level of empowerment of TVE teachers themselves. A number of strategies were identified as possible options for empowering learners and youths in Nigeria. Some of them include combining TVE with academic work till end of secondary education, vocationalisation, and work experience programmes (eg SIWES, youth apprenticeship and school based experience) and adjusting to effects of advance technology among others. With government’s political will and schools and teachers prepared for change, much could be achieved in empowering the nation.

Reforming Teacher Education for Inclusion in Developing Countries in the Asia-Pacific Region - Sharma, Umesh; Forlin, Chris; Deppeler, Joanne; Guang-xue, Yang
A number of Asian Pacific countries have ratified the UN Conventions on the Rights of People with Disabilities and have identified an urgent need to include children with special educational needs in regular school programs. Successful implementation of such a policy reform requires significant changes in the way education is provided to all students, but most importantly depends upon how adequately the teachers and related professionals are prepared to implement the reform. This paper reviews research from 13 Asian Pacific countries, undertaken in the last five years, to address two questions. First it reports on the issues, challenges, and proposals related to inclusive education in these countries. Second the review reports on how each region has progressed towards implementing the Millennium Development Goals with particular emphasis on how teacher education has or has not responded to this. The review concludes that a lack of well thought out policy, few resources, and limited understanding of inclusion seems widespread in the Asia-Pacific region. As yet special education and related service expertise and teacher education for inclusion, is not in place to support teachers to work inclusively.

Implementation research in LMICs—evolution through innovation - Sheikh, Kabir; Hargreaves, James; Khan, Mishal; Mounier-Jack, Sandra (Health Policy and Planning, 2020)
Major global health gains can be achieved by strengthening the delivery of public health policies and programmes in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The population impact of evidence-based technologies and interventions such as drugs, vaccines and health know-how can only be maximized where programmes optimally identify and reach target populations and support them to take up and sustain their effective use. Examples include significant gaps in the coverage and quality of maternal health, newborn, immunization, non-communicable disease, primary care and adolescent sexual and reproductive health services—all issues tackled in this supplement. While structural change and increased funding are essential, much can be gained through ongoing improvements in programme delivery (Paina and Peters, 2012). Implementation gaps are also widely implicated in the failure of broader health policies and reforms in LMICs (Haines et al., 2004), such as for decentralization, health care regulation and primary health care. This makes it important also to analyse the implementation of policies at all levels, including studying the negotiations and interactions of actors in social and political contexts, understanding gaps in the effectiveness of public policies and helping to resolve them.

Resisting Dehumanizing Assessments: Enacting Critical Humanizing Pedagogies in Online Teacher Education - Shelton, Catharyn; Aguilera, Earl; Gleason, Benjamin; Mehta, Rohit (2020)
With the shift to online learning in the wake of COVID-19, teacher educators (TEs) risk becoming swept up in a “cult of efficiency” that can dehumanize the learning process for teachers and students. In this chapter, we share how we, four TEs, use new technologies to implement critical humanizing pedagogies. This involves pushing beyond purely cognitive approaches, while reflexively addressing issues of power, access, and representation with emphasis on valuing voices historically subjected to colonizing educational practices. Specifically, we discuss our approach to online assessments, focusing on meaning-making, connecting to social realities, and engaging multimodality. We close the chapter by offering a set of guiding questions and technology tools that may help TEs (re)designing their own online assessments with students’ humanity in mind.

‘Happier in his own clothes’: Post-pandemic Possibilities for Education for Children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities: Perspectives from parent carers - Shepherd, Jacqui; Durrant, Claire; Hancock, Christina (University of Sussex, 2021)
This research examined the perspectives of parent carers of children with SEND and their experiences of their children returning to school in September 2020 and undertaking home-learning during the January/February 2021 lockdown. While celebrating the achievements of schools in supporting children with SEND back into school last September and improving the quality and provision of home learning during the second lockdown, the report also exposes some of the significant limitations in the education system - not least in meeting the fundamental needs of children with SEND, but also in enabling them to flourish and achieve. Some children did thrive during lockdown without the stress and anxiety of school and the pressure of social interaction but many did not. ‘Happier in his own clothes’ was a comment made by a parent about one of the positives of lockdown in not having to wear school uniform, but we also use it as a metaphor here for how school could be for children with SEND - and indeed all children if we can seize this opportunity to learn from lockdown. We make recommendations, based on the learning from the positive and negative experiences of the last year, for a more reflexive and recalibrated school system which works better for all children – especially those with SEND.

Understanding Sierra Leonean and Liberian teachers’ views on discussing past wars in their classrooms - Shepler, Susan; Williams, James H. (Comparative Education, 2017)
Various curricular and textbook initiatives exist to aid in the national processes of coming to terms with past violence, often serving the political goals of the victors, sometimes supported by international transitional justice institutions. Sierra Leone and Liberia each experienced a devastating civil war during the 1990s and into the 2000s, and each is struggling to rebuild shattered education systems. In addition, each country has experienced a set of post-conflict transitional justice initiatives: Truth and Reconciliation Commissions in each, and a Special Court for Sierra Leone. Although their respective ministries of education have attempted to address peace education through UNICEF-sponsored curriculum revision processes, those efforts have not yet reached the majority of serving teachers, so a discussion of teachers’ actual practices is vital. This article uses interviews with teachers in rural and urban Sierra Leone and Liberia to discuss whether and how teachers talk about past war in their classrooms; whether they think it is important to discuss past conflicts, and if so, why; and what kind of curricular support would help them better teach about the wars. The article discusses how and why teachers embrace or subvert official efforts through their classroom practices, and compares the Sierra Leone and Liberia contexts and results. This research will help us to understand teachers’ own perspectives on addressing past conflict in their classrooms, and perhaps help policy-makers better implement their peace education initiatives.

The Role of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Restoring Hospitality Sector Specific Skills in Zimbabwe: A Students’ Perspective - Shereni, Ngoni Courage (Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Education, 2019)
© 2019, © 2019 The International Council on Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional Education. This study was done to determine the role played by Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in restoring sector-specific skills lost to other countries in the Zimbabwean hospitality industry. Semi-structured questionnaires were self-administered to 136 students studying hospitality related qualifications in Polytechnics in Zimbabwe using a convenient sampling technique. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22.0 was used to analyze data generating frequencies and descriptive statistics. The findings of the research show that the hospitality industry will continue to lose skills to other countries mainly because of low salaries, better working conditions in other countries, the unfavorable economic environment in Zimbabwe and the need by students to gain international exposure. TVET institutions in Zimbabwe have a great role to play in replacing lost skills therefore financial challenges, equipment unavailability and lack of qualified lecturers need to be addressed for them to be effective.

Apps Developed by Academics - Shing, Sophia; Yuan, Benjamin (Journal of Education and Practice, 2016)
In the days of the digital Wild West, developers from all backgrounds have joined in the gold rush trying to profit from the almost unbridled spending of well-to-do parents on educational products. In 2016, the Apple App Store had over 80,000 educational apps. The proliferation of educational apps has happened at a furious pace and more apps are being introduced constantly. Although apps are labeled as educational, they are not held to any science-based standards or subject to any certification (Hirsch-Pasek, et al. 2015). With the boom in new apps introduced every year, there is simply not enough time, money, or resources available to evaluate each app as it enters the market. As a result, “educational” apps are largely unregulated and untested. As a result, app users are misled and are spending money on products which are not actually educational. The real experts – researchers, teachers and educational specialists – need to take over the driver seat in this important and evolving realm of educational apps with the developers playing the supporting role instead of the leading role. With increasingly lowered cost and ease of development to produce an app, academics who do not have vast financial resources or substantial technical knowledge are able to create truly impactful, pedagogically-based apps either by themselves or outsourcing to development services. Although technology promises to be transformative, educational content must remain the main thrust of any educational mobile app development and not technology. Educational apps need to have the experts involved. It is time that education is put back in its rightful, central position.

Introducing mobile technology for enhancing teaching and learning in Bangladesh: teacher perspectives - Shohel, M. Mahruf C.; Power, Tom (Open Learning: The Journal of Open, Distance and e-Learning, 2010)
This paper reviews the themes emerging from Bangladeshi teachers’ experiences of taking part in the initial research and the development stage of a professional development programme they were involved with. The Secondary Teaching and Learning Programme is an information and communications technologies‐enhanced supported open distance learning programme of professional development in English‐language teaching. This paper presents evidence arising from semi‐structured interviews carried out with teachers from a pre‐pilot study for the English in Action project. The teachers participating in this study reflect upon six months’ experience of using professional development materials (course material of audio podcasts enhanced with text and images; videos of classroom practice; audio of classroom language) and classroom resources (audio recordings of text‐book reading passages, songs, poems and stories), all accessed via portable digital media players (iPods).

Accelerated Reader as a Literacy Catch-Up Intervention during Primary to Secondary School Transition Phase - Siddiqui, Nadia; Gorard, Stephen; See, Beng Huat (Educational Review, 2016)
This paper describes an evaluation of an internet-based reading programme called Accelerated Reader (AR), which is widely used in UK schools and worldwide. AR is a whole-group reading management and monitoring programme that aims to stimulate the habit of independent reading among primary and secondary age pupils. The evaluation involved 349 pupils in Year 7 who had not achieved secure National Curriculum Level 4 in their Key Stage 2 results for English, randomised to two groups. The intervention group of 166 pupils was exposed to AR for 20 weeks, after which they recorded higher literacy scores in the New Group Reading Test (NGRT) post-test than the control group of 183 pupils ("effect" size of +0.24). The schools led the organisation and implementation of the intervention, and also conducted most elements of the evaluation, with advice from an expert external evaluation team. The process evaluation suggests that these schools were very capable of conducting evaluations of their own practice, given appropriate guidance.

The next generation of machine learning for tracking adaptation texts - Sietsma, Anne J.; Ford, James D.; Minx, Jan C. (Nature Climate Change, 2023)
Machine learning presents opportunities for tracking evidence on climate change adaptation, including text-based methods from natural language processing. In theory, such tools can analyse more data in less time, using fewer resources and with less risk of bias. However, the first generation of adaptation studies have delivered only proof of concepts. Reviewing these first studies, we argue that future efforts should focus on creating more diverse datasets, investigating concrete hypotheses, fostering collaboration and promoting ‘machine learning literacy’, including understanding bias. More fundamentally, machine learning enables a paradigmatic shift towards automating repetitive tasks and makes interactive ‘living evidence’ platforms possible. Broadly, the adaptation community is failing to prepare for this shift. Flagship projects of organizations such as the IPCC could help to lead the way.

Building a Better Mousetrap: How Design-Based Research was Used to Improve Homemade PowerPoint Games - Siko, Jason; Barbour, Michael (TechTrends, 2016)
This paper is a review of a three-cycle, design-based research study that explored the relationship between the pedagogical research and the actual implementation of a game design project using Microsoft PowerPoint. Much of the initial literature on using homemade PowerPoint games showed no significant improvement in test scores when students created these low-tech games, despite the fact that the game project was grounded in sound pedagogical strategies. After each iteration changes were made to better reflect the recommendations from the literature, and at the end of the study, students creating games were performing statistically higher on tests than their counterparts who did not create games. Limitations of the study are discussed, as well as ideas for future research in the area of student-generated games as an instructional approach. Retrieved from http://rdcu.be/ne9S

Urban poverty and education. A systematic literature review - Silva-Laya, Marisol; D'Angelo, Natalia; García, Elda; Zúñiga, Laura; Fernández, Teresa (Educational Research Review, 2020)
This systematic literature review seeks to provide information on the limitations and opportunities faced by the urban poor in leveraging the potential benefits of education. The review covers the period 1995–2017 and includes 66 articles. The analysis addresses: a) the educational achievement of the urban poor and b) the conditions under which they receive education. Results show that, despite attending school, the urban poor are not able to fully satisfy their right to education. Their educational achievement is deficient in terms of learning, educational trajectory and the capacity to aspire to a better future and although they are included in schooling, material deprivation combined with socio-territorial characteristics and cultural and administrative obstacles means that this inclusion occurs in a stratified manner. The findings urge a reexamination of the discussion around the challenge of education in facilitating social mobility. Breaking the cycle between urban poverty and education requires multisectoral public policies with an equity perspective and the coordinated participation of various social actors.

Achieving Community Development through an Agricultural Extension Programme: Technology Dissemination for Mushroom Farmers - Silva, Nilantha De; Wijeratne, Mahinda (Journal of Learning for Development, 2021)
Mushroom production is a small-scale business unit in rural areas. The Life Long Learning for Farmers (L3F) Programme aims to enhance the socio-economic conditions for them, increasing their access to and use of knowledge and technology. This study evaluates the outcomes of the L3F Programme at the community level. Data were collected through a pre-tested questionnaire survey. The sample consisted of 30 L3F farmers. Farmers’ achievement was assessed by the Farmer Performance Index (FPI). Results indicate that mushroom farmers have scaled up their production; have improved their productivity; designed new experiments to minimise the impact of pests and diseases; focused on environmental sustainability and scientific mushroom production; and improved the quality of packaging. The mobile app Bimmal Govi, blended with Information and Communication Technology, helped them to move with the latest technological advancements. The L3F Programme has increased the standards of mushroom production, helping the farmers become promising entrepreneurs.

Curriculum re-engineering and development in Zambia: the sociology of education in the face of globalisation. - Simamuna, Mubita Likando; Mulenga, Innocent Mutale (The University of Zambia Press, 2017)

The Role of General Public in the Development of Technical and Vocational Education in Primary Schools in Eldoret Municipality, Kenya - Simiyu, John Wanyonyi; Sambu, Lenah (International Journal of Humanities and Social Science, 2014)
The study sought to examine the role the general public play in the development of technical and vocational education in Primary schools. These subjects were: Home science, Art and Craft and Agriculture as offered in Primary schools in the urban and rural setting of Eldoret Municipality and the surrounding areas in Kenya A random sample of eight (8) schools was selected for the study. The respondents included eighty (80) standard eight (Std VIII) pupils, thirty-one (31) teachers and ten (10) parents of the pupils studying these subjects. From the study, a large proportion of the respondents, most of whom were made up of teacher-respondents, affirmed that the local communities were supposed to contribute to the provision of equipment and facilities in the development of technical and vocational education in Primary schools while some of them indicated that the communities were supposed to establish and manage the schools. As such, parents and the general public should be sensitized on the importance of technical and vocational component in the Primary school curriculum so that they can give it the support it deserves be it materially or morally in the task of national development. In addition, the government makes the technical and vocational subjects more attractive by providing adequate facilities and resources to Primary schools. The informal sector of the economy should be strongly supported so as to attract Primary school-leavers who achieve relevant practical skills. The study is useful to all education stakeholders as it highlights the need to incorporate socio-economic contextual factors in improving performance in technical and vocational subjects in individual schools.

Nature and type of government and NGO interventions in curbing unemployment and underemployment of urban youth in Kenya - Simiyu, John; Sambu, Lenah (Journal of Emerging Trends in Educational Research and Policy Studies, 2012)
This paper examines nature and type of Government and NGO interventions in curbing youth unemployment and underemployment based on a study of the youth in Nairobi and Kisumu cities in Kenya. The study was descriptive in nature with a stratified sample from a population comprising respondents selected from slums of two major cities in Kenya where youth unemployment is rampant: Kibera slums in Nairobi and Manyatta slums in Kisumu. Questionnaires and interviews were the main research instruments used to gather data from the field for analysis. The sample size was determined by the number of registered youth groups in the slums. Data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics. Youth unemployment and underemployment is a crucial concern throughout the developing world, but it is a particularly acute problem in Africa where young people comprise a large proportion of the economically active population. Suffice to say, youth unemployment is highly dependent on the overall status of the economy. Economic activity, measured by GDP growth is probably the single factorthat most influences the chances of young people finding a job. In order to find a decent job in a globalized world, young people need to develop a range of skills and knowledge that are typically gained through formal education and training. African governments are implementing various policies and schemes to promote employment opportunities for young people, including skills training and entrepreneurship funds. Even if properly designed, however, the implementation of these interventions is constrained by cost and the lack of capacity among governments to evaluate the impact of policies. The study is useful to scholars and employment institutions in supplementing efforts by NGOs and the Government in dealing with the impact of youth unemployment and underemployment.

Promotion of PV Uptake and Sector Growth in Kenya through Value Added Training in PV Sizing, Installation and Maintenance - Simiyu, Justus; Waita, Sebastian; Musembi, Robinson; Ogacho, Alex; Aduda, Bernard (Energy Procedia, 2014)
Abstract Sub-Saharan Africa, and more specifically the East African region, has the lowest rates of access to electricity in the world. On average, at most 15% of the rural population has access to electricity. Rural households and remote institutions use traditional energy sources such as charcoal, firewood, kerosene and diesel for generator sets, batteries and dry cell batteries. On the other hand, the region is one of the most promising in the world in economic development with growth levels being high and market saturation is a far away future problem. This growth has however been hampered by several factors with lack of energy being one of them. Kenya being one of the countries in the region faces a similar problem with the traditional sources of hydro facing weather related challenges. The situation is more wanting in the rural setting having only achieved electrification rates of between 5 and 10%. The rural being where the majority of low-income earning groups reside is further compounded with large geographical imbalance in electricity demand and supply. The main challenge to adopting pv utilization however, is lack of local capacity to handle the uptake all the way from solar home systems to grid connected and hybrid systems. According to Kenya Renewable Energy Association (KEREA), it is estimated that between 800 and 1000 pv technicians have been in practice since this sector started in Kenya in the late eighties, majority of them having the basic skills but no formal training to provide the service. They however have been offering necessary service to end-users and are hence an important aspect in the pv sector as a whole. Currently the pv (mainly SHS) comprise an over the counter trade system which provides loopholes when it comes to quality of products and installation. To safeguard the quality and safety of installations, formal training has to be incorporated in the system.

Education, Girls’ Education and Climate Change - Sims, K. (Institute of Development Studies, 2021)
This Emerging Issue Report (EIR) explores research and evidence on the relationship between education, girls’ education and climate change. There is scientific consensus that climate change is real, manifested through increasing temperatures, changing rainfall patterns and increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events, including drought, flooding and cyclones (IPCC, 2012, 2014). Climate change, environmental degradation and climate vulnerability are closely linked (IPCC, 2019). Climate change exacerbates environmental and land degradation, especially in areas with drylands and permafrost, river deltas and low-lying coastal areas. There is high confidence that people living in areas affected by environmental degradation are experiencing an increase in the negative effects of climate change (IPCC, 2019). Gender, alongside other drivers of vulnerability and exclusion, is a key determinant of an individual’s vulnerability to the effects of climate change and environmental degradation, and influences how climate change is experienced (Kwauk et al., 2019; Vincent et al., 2014; Muttarak & Lutz, 2014). It is estimated that at least 200 million adolescent girls living in the poorest communities face heightened risk from the effects of climate change (Atkinson & Bruce, 2015). Although this report refers to women and girls throughout, it is important that they are not seen as a homogenous group due to a range of factors that influence identity, including poverty, age, ethnicity, disability, socioeconomic status, geographic location and HIV status, among others (Plan International, 2011; Djoudi et al., 2016). In addition, as this report highlights, women and girls should not be seen as passive victims of climate change, as this can obscure their role as powerful agents of change and may cause misinterpretation of the causes of vulnerability (Ravera et al., 2016). Extreme weather events, such as floods and tropical cyclones, can disrupt learning in a variety of ways. The direct and immediate impacts of extreme weather include damage and/or destruction to education infrastructure; however, indirect and secondary impacts can last much longer (Kousky, 2016; Anderson, 2019). These include, but are not limited to: damage to road and transport links, obstructing access to school and learning; adolescent girls’ unwillingness to attend school if water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities are not quickly rehabilitated; inability to pay for school fees and/or learning materials; displacement of families; and reduced capacity for learning because of malnutrition or trauma (Kousky, 2016; Anderson, 2019; Nordstrom & Cotton, 2020; Chuang et al., 2018; Siriwardhana et al., 2013). Evidence and commentary on the role of education, and girls’ education, to address climate change through adaptation, resilience and mitigation is limited, albeit growing. This EIR identifies and summarises evidence and key commentary around the following themes: 1. Links between education, particularly girls’ education, and climate change. 2. How climate and environment matter for achieving gender equality. 3. Why securing girls’ education is an important strategy in addressing climate change. The EIR draws on academic research and literature from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), as well as policy frameworks and grey literature, media articles and blogs from the climate, education and gender fields.

Lessons Learned from Education Initiatives Implemented During the First Wave of COVID-19: A Literature Review - Sims, Kate (2021)
It is important to assume that the learning crisis caused by COVID-19 is not over. As highlighted by 2021 school closures in response to the Delta variant, lessons learned from school closures in 2020 are required and applicable. There is therefore a need for reflection and a consolidation of lessons learned to protect education outcomes. Lessons include the need for parental engagement and support, the mobilisation of community actors, and inclusive and accessible remote learning approaches (Kapur, 2020, p. 38). This literature review seeks to better understand what worked and what did not work in education interventions during the first wave of COVID-19, in order to support planning on current and future school closures and/or disruptions to education systems. It focuses on three key areas: 1. Support to teachers to continue teaching during school closures, and the role of teachers in supporting marginalised learners; 2. Approaches to ensure the continuation of learning; and 3. Approaches to reach the most marginalised learners.

Girls’ Education Programmes in the ASEAN region - Sims, Kate; Thuo, Sarah (2020)
This non-standard research exercise identified and mapped girls’ education programmes and interventions across Asia and the Pacific. The study primarily focused on interventions that benefit girls, including those that support the transition to secondary school and school completion. The following areas of technical and thematic focus were of particular interest: Accelerated learning, Girls’ education post-Covid-19, Non-formal education, Supplementary education, Female empowerment (i.e. girls’ clubs, life skills programmes, economic empowerment), Climate change, Education Technology (EdTech), and Inclusion of the most marginalised. This mapping study follows a K4D report outlining key barriers to girls’ education in the ASEAN and Pacific region (Price, 2020). It included active programmes and those that finished between 2015 and 2020, with a particular focus on programmes in Cambodia, Laos, Viet Nam, Myanmar, Indonesia, the Philippines, East Timor (Timor-Leste) and Papua New Guinea. Three days of researcher time was allocated to this study, so the exercise was therefore limited in identifying and mapping a large number of applicable programmes. The study relied on publicly available information, so may not have captured all relevant current and previous programming.

Characteristics of effective teacher professional development: what we know, what we don’t, how we can find out - Sims, Sam; Fletcher-Wood, Harry (2018)
Several influential reviews and one meta-review have converged on the position that teacher professional development (PD) is more effective when it is: sustained, collaborative, subjectspecific, draws on external expertise, has buy-in from teachers and is practice-based. This consensus view has now been incorporated in government policy and official guidance in several countries. Despite this, several recent PD programmes incorporating these characteristics have failed to have any detectable impact on pupil attainment. This article reviews the evidence underpinning the consensus, arguing that the reviews on which it based are methodologically flawed because they employ inappropriate exclusion criteria and depend on an invalid inference method. The consensus view is therefore likely to be inaccurate. Researchers would make more progress on identifying characteristics of effective professional development by looking for alignment between evidence from basic research on human skill acquisition and features of rigorously-evaluated PD interventions.

Education and Disability in the Global South: New Perspectives from Africa and Asia - Singal, Nidhi; Lynch, Paul; Johansson, Shruti Taneja (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2018)
Education and Disability in the Global South brings together new and established researchers from a variety of disciplines to explore the complexities and dilemmas encountered in providing education to children and young people with disabilities in countries in South Asia and Africa. Applying a range of methodological, theoretical and conceptual frameworks across different levels of education systems, from pre-school to higher education, the contributors examine not just the barriers but also the opportunities within the educational systems, in order to make strong policy recommendations. Together, the chapters offer a comprehensive overview of a range of issues, including a nuanced appreciation of the tensions between the local and global in relation to key developments in the field, critiquing a globalized notion of inclusive education, as well as proposing new methodological advancements in taking the research agenda forward. Empirical insights are captured not just from the perspectives of educators but also through engaging with children and young people with disabilities, who are uniquely powerful in providing insights for future developments.

School enrolment and learning outcomes for children with disabilities: findings from a household survey in Pakistan - Singal, Nidhi; Sabates, Ricardo; Aslam, Monazza; Saeed, Sahar (International Journal of Inclusive Education, 2020)
This paper presents findings from household data collected as part of the Annual Survey of Education conducted in rural Punjab in 2015, which included questions on disability developed by the Washington Group on Disability Statistics. Data reported here focuses on the disability status of children aged 5 to 16 years, their access to school and learning outcomes on basic reading and maths tasks. Our findings highlight that children who were identified by their carer/mothers as having moderate to severe disabilities were less likely to be attending school and had lower levels of learning on basic reading and maths tasks, than their peers who were not identified as having any difficulties in functioning. More importantly, our findings also suggest that being a co-resident/sibling in a household with a child with moderate to severe disabilities was associated with lower levels of basic reading and numeracy for the co-residents/siblings compared to other children. We conclude by highlighting important policy considerations and identifying areas of future research.

Overlapping meta-analyses on the same topic: survey of published studies - Siontis, Konstantinos C.; Hernandez-Boussard, Tina; Ioannidis, John P. A. (BMJ, 2013)
Objective To assess how common it is to have multiple overlapping meta-analyses of randomized trials published on the same topic. Design Survey of published meta-analyses. Data sources PubMed. Study selection and methods Meta-analyses published in 2010 were identified, and 5% of them were randomly selected. We further selected those that included randomized trials and examined effectiveness of any medical intervention. For eligible meta-analyses, we searched for other meta-analyses on the same topic (covering the same comparisons, indications/settings, and outcomes or overlapping subsets of them) published until February 2013. Results Of 73 eligible meta-analyses published in 2010, 49 (67%) had at least one other overlapping meta-analysis (median two meta-analyses per topic, interquartile range 1-4, maximum 13). In 17 topics at least one author was involved in at least two of the overlapping meta-analyses. No characteristics of the index meta-analyses were associated with the potential for overlapping meta-analyses. Among pairs of overlapping meta-analyses in 20 randomly selected topics, 13 of the more recent meta-analyses did not include any additional outcomes. In three of the four topics with eight or more published meta-analyses, many meta-analyses examined only a subset of the eligible interventions or indications/settings covered by the index meta-analysis. Conversely, for statins in the prevention of atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery, 11 meta-analyses were published with similar eligibility criteria for interventions and setting: there was still variability on which studies were included, but the results were always similar or even identical across meta-analyses. Conclusions While some independent replication of meta-analyses by different teams is possibly useful, the overall picture suggests that there is a waste of efforts with many topics covered by multiple overlapping meta-analyses.

Learning without Schools? Education, Relief, and Government Partnerships during COVID-19 - Skoll Foundation (2020)

The Lifeline Program: A Case Study of Workforce Education Combating Poverty for Females in Ghana - Smith, Bettye P; Lowe, Tony; Hunt-Hurst, Patricia; Okech, David; Blalock, Emily; Dery, Alexis (International Education, 2013)
This case study research examined the contributions of the Lifeline Program in Ghana, West Africa to the preparation of young women for the workforce; this preparation is an effort to combat poverty. In this research report, a succinct overview of Ghana was provided, the economic status of the country was delineated, and the history of the Lifeline Program from its inception was given. The research provided an explanation of each of the three vocational skills training programs offered by Lifeline: catering, dressmaking, and hairdressing. The vocational skills training programs in Ghana are likened to workforce education programs in the United States. Conclusions were drawn for the Lifeline Program and the vocational skills training programs based on the Human Capital Theory, a major economic framework. Also, recommendations were suggested based on the findings and the theory that undergirded this case study. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

'Distance learning' or 'learning at a distance'? Case study of an education initiative to deliver an in‐service bachelors degree in Zambia - Smith, CJ (Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2010)
In 1998, as part of what was then Zambia’s Department of Technical Education and Vocational Training’s (DTEVT) human resources capacity building initiative, under the Ministry of Science, Technology and Vocational Training (MSTVT), donor funding was secured to provide degree-level training for key teachers and managers within the technical education and vocational education and training (TEVET) system. However, the lack of degree-level courses designed for TEVET personnel at both of Zambia’s universities prevented progress. This situation has disadvantaged TEVET staff and for years has limited their professional development. To address this, a pilot project involving a British Higher Education Institution delivering a degree programme, in-country and in-service (part-time), was proposed by senior DTEVT staff. Some seven years after the commencement of this programme and with three cohorts having successfully been completed, this paper examines some of the key issues in delivery of the programme over the years and reflects on significant events that have influenced the programme’s development and are likely to continue to impact on its future direction.

Mapping schools' NAPLAN results: a spatial inequality of school outcomes in Australia - Smith, Crichton; Parr, Nick; Muhidin, Salut (Geographical Research, 2019)
This article identiﬁes spatial dimensions of educational outcomes using maps of the 2016 Grade 5 reading results for Australia’s National Assessment Program–Literacy and Numeracy for all Australian schools. A geographical information system (GIS) was used to overlay schools’ results onto suburbs’ advantage or disadvantage to visualise spatial patterns. We then examined the extent to which school results “cluster” in socio-economically advantaged and disadvantaged suburbs and considered the consistency of spatial patterns for results across major cities. That work illustrates both how GIS can foreground educational inequality and how “the spatial” is more than corollary for student socio-economic status. Results show substantial differences between urban and remote areas and towns of different size. Maps of cities visualise spatial “clustering” patterns of school results, with most schools in advantaged suburbs having high results and almost no schools in disadvantaged suburbs having high results. Educational outcomes strongly align to local sociodemographic characteristics, and parallel host communities’ levels of advantage or disadvantage. Differences between public and private schools are less signiﬁcant than within-sector differences for schools in advantaged or disadvantaged locales. Patterns in all cities are consistent—schools in advantaged suburbs predominantly have high results, whereas non-government schools generally perform better than government schools in disadvantaged suburbs. Most concerning is the persistent and increasing trajectory of results in advantaged, and more so in disadvantaged suburbs, of all cities since the ﬁrst National Assessment Program–Literacy and Numeracy in 2008. Ameliorating spatial inequality between primary schools is one of the greatest challenges for Australians.

Reviews and Reviewing: Approaches to Research Synthesis. An Annual Review of Information Science and Technology (ARIST) paper - Smith, Linda C. (Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, 2023)
Abstract Reviews have long been recognized as among the most important forms of scientific communication. The rapid growth of the primary literature has further increased the need for reviews to distill and interpret the literature. This review on Reviews and Reviewing: Approaches to Research Synthesis encompasses the evolution of the review literature, taxonomy of review literature, uses and users of reviews, the process of preparing reviews, assessment of review quality and impact, the impact of information technology on the preparation of reviews, and research opportunities for information science related to reviews and reviewing. In addition to providing a synthesis of prior research, this review seeks to identify gaps in the published research and to suggest possible future research directions.

Using DeepSpeed and Megatron to Train Megatron-Turing NLG 530B, A Large-Scale Generative Language Model - Smith, Shaden; Patwary, Mostofa; Norick, Brandon; LeGresley, Patrick; Rajbhandari, Samyam; Casper, Jared; Liu, Zhun; Prabhumoye, Shrimai; Zerveas, George; Korthikanti, Vijay; Zhang, Elton; Child, Rewon; et al. (arXiv, 2022)
Pretrained general-purpose language models can achieve state-of-the-art accuracies in various natural language processing domains by adapting to downstream tasks via zero-shot, few-shot and fine-tuning techniques. Because of their success, the size of these models has increased rapidly, requiring high-performance hardware, software, and algorithmic techniques to enable training such large models. As the result of a joint effort between Microsoft and NVIDIA, we present details on the training of the largest monolithic transformer based language model, Megatron-Turing NLG 530B (MT-NLG), with 530 billion parameters. In this paper, we first focus on the infrastructure as well as the 3D parallelism methodology used to train this model using DeepSpeed and Megatron. Next, we detail the training process, the design of our training corpus, and our data curation techniques, which we believe is a key ingredient to the success of the model. Finally, we discuss various evaluation results, as well as other interesting observations and new properties exhibited by MT-NLG. We demonstrate that MT-NLG achieves superior zero-, one-, and few-shot learning accuracies on several NLP benchmarks and establishes new state-of-the-art results. We believe that our contributions will help further the development of large-scale training infrastructures, large-scale language models, and natural language generations.

Potential long-term consequences of school closures: Lessons from the 2013-2016 Ebola pandemic - Smith, William C. (In Review, 2020)
Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has seen an unprecedented shutdown of society. Nearly 1.725 billion children across the globe have been affected as over 95% of countries closed schools as the virus spread in April 2020. Much attention has been given to school closures as non-pharmaceutical mitigation tools to stem the spread of the disease through ensuring social distancing. Within education, focus has been given to keep students connected through remote learning and the immediate needs of schools upon reopening. This study takes a longer-term view. Using Demographic Health Surveys and Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys from before and after the 2013-2016 Ebola outbreak in Guinea and Sierra Leone, this study examines changes in enrolment and dropout patterns, with targeted consideration given to traditionally marginalized groups. With schools closed for seven and nine months in the two countries, the length and intensity of the Ebola pandemic is the only health crises in the past century to come close to the school closures being experienced in 2020. Findings suggest that youth in the poorest households see the largest increase in dropout rates post-Ebola and that this impact can persist for years. Two years after being declared Ebola-free an additional 22,000 of the poorest secondary age youth remained out of school than would have been expected based on the pre-outbreak dropout rate. To halt the likely expansion in inequality post-pandemic, these results point to the need for longer term, sustainable planning that includes comprehensive financial support packages to groups most likely to be impacted.

Toward a Deeper Understanding: Testing a Multidimensional Framework of Professional Learning Communities in Sub-Saharan African Schools - Soares, Fernanda; Galisson, Kirsten (Comparative Education Review, 2021)
Professional learning communities (PLCs) are becoming increasingly popular, in a recognition that teachers’ knowledge is situated in teachers’ daily experiences and best acquired through ongoing practice and reflection. This study examines the relationship between participation in PLCs and teaching practices and tests specific aspects of a PLC framework for sub-Saharan Africa, which has not been studied before. Data originate from a teacher survey implemented with over 2,300 preschool and primary education teachers in Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, and Nigeria. Our results show a positive significant relationship between higher levels of participation in PLC and constructivist student-centered practices for two out of the three countries under study. Findings also indicate that PLCs’ four core characteristics conceptualized by the literature from high-income countries are associated with higher constructivist student-centered practice across all three countries.

Unpacking PLCs: What evidence do we have about professional learning communities and how can we produce more? - Soares, Fernanda; Galisson, Kirsten (R&E Search for Evidence, 2018)

A Typology of Professional Learning Communities (PLC) for Sub-Saharan Africa: A Case study of Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, and Nigeria - Soares, Fernanda; Galisson, Kirsten; Laar, Mindel van de (African Journal of Teacher Education, 2020)
In the bid to improve teaching quality and promote an approach to teacher development that is grounded in the context in which teachers are inserted, Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) have become a popular alternative model of teacher professional development in many countries. PLCs, however, have been more widely studied in high-resource contexts. In a recognition that existing conceptualizations from the Western literature may not reflect how PLCs are functioning in developing countries, this research aims to inductively create a typology of PLCs that incorporates elements that might be specific to these countries, with a focus on Sub-Saharan Africa in general and based on the cases of Equatorial Guinea, Ghana and Nigeria in particular. This study employs a multimethod approach, encompassing document analysis, semi-structured interviews with PLC experts and expert validation. The resulting typology categorizes PLCs into three models - autonomous, structured and scripted. This typology of PLCs is further integrated with dimensions previously proposed by the Western literature to form one cohesive conceptual framework. By acknowledging PLC variability, we are able to incorporate into a framework modes of PLC operation that are specific to our case countries, and possibly to Sub-Saharan African and low- and middle-income countries more generally.

Costing the implementation of public health interventions in resource-limited settings: a conceptual framework - Sohn, Hojoon; Tucker, Austin; Ferguson, Olivia; Gomes, Isabella; Dowdy, David (Implementation Science, 2020)
Background: Failing to account for the resources required to successfully implement public health interventions can lead to an underestimation of costs and budget impact, optimistic cost-effectiveness estimates, and ultimately a disconnect between published evidence and public health decision-making. Methods: We developed a conceptual framework for assessing implementation costs. We illustrate the use of this framework with case studies involving interventions for tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS in resource-limited settings. Results: Costs of implementing public health interventions may be conceptualized as occurring across three phases: design, initiation, and maintenance. In the design phase, activities include developing intervention components and establishing necessary infrastructure (e.g., technology, standard operating procedures). Initiation phase activities include training, initiation of supply chains and quality assurance procedures, and installation of equipment. Implementation costs in the maintenance phase include ongoing technical support, monitoring and evaluation, and troubleshooting unexpected obstacles. Within each phase, implementation costs can be incurred at the site of delivery (“site-specific” costs) or more centrally (“above-service” or “central” costs). For interventions evaluated in the context of research studies, implementation costs should be classified as programmatic, researchrelated, or shared research/program costs. Purely research-related costs are often excluded from analysis of programmatic implementation. Conclusions: In evaluating public health interventions in resource-limited settings, accounting for implementation costs enables more realistic estimates of budget impact and cost-effectiveness and provides important insights into program feasibility, scale-up, and sustainability. Assessment of implementation costs should be planned prospectively and performed in a standardized manner to ensure generalizability.

Adapting implementation science for higher education research: the systematic study of implementing evidence-based practices in college classrooms - Soicher, Raechel N.; Becker-Blease, Kathryn A.; Bostwick, Keiko C. P. (Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2020)
Finding better ways to implement effective teaching and learning strategies in higher education is urgently needed to help address student outcomes such as retention rates, graduation rates, and learning. Psychologists contribute to the science and art of teaching and learning in higher education under many flags, including cognitive psychology, science of learning, educational psychology, scholarship of teaching and learning in psychology, discipline-based educational research in psychology, design-based implementation research, and learning sciences. Productive, rigorous collaboration among researchers and instructors helps. However, translational research and practice-based research alone have not closed the translation gap between the research laboratory and the college classroom. Fortunately, scientists and university faculty can draw on the insights of decades of research on the analogous science-to-practice gap in medicine and public health. Health researchers now add to their toolbox of translational and practice-based research the systematic study of the process of implementation in real work settings directly. In this article, we define implementation science for cognitive psychologists as well as educational psychologists, learning scientists, and others with an interest in use-inspired basic cognitive research, propose a novel model incorporating implementation science for translating cognitive science to classroom practice in higher education, and provide concrete recommendations for how use-inspired basic cognitive science researchers can better understand those factors that affect the uptake of their work with implementation science.

Towards competence-based technical-vocational education and training in Ethiopia - Solomon, GH (2016)
In the human development effort, different countries are underscoring the role of TVET in providing relevant knowledge and skills to improve productivity, increase access to employment opportunities and raise the standard of living. It is in recognition of this that, in all Ethiopian educational development endeavors, TVET has been considered to play a key role to tackle the country’s socioeconomic underdevelopment through knowledgeable and skillful manpower. Since its introduction in 1941, TVET has been guided by different policies and strategies adopted by successive governments who came to power at different times. This thesis investigates how TVET has reached the current stage of its development in Ethiopia and the challenges encountered in implementing a competence-based system aimed at improving present and future TVET practices. This introduction opens with the general state of affairs in Ethiopia as a basis for considering TVET to be a pivotal component of its socio-economic development. Describing the context in which the different studies in this thesis were conducted, this introduction closes with an introduction of the research questions that guided the different studies presented as separate chapters

What Do Tanzanian Parents Want from Primary Schools—and What Can Be Done about It? - Solomon, Samuel; Zeitlin, Andrew (Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE), 2019)
Key Points RISE researchers ran a ‘discrete choice’ experiment among parents of school-aged children. They find: • Parents’ choices are driven by proximity and learning quality, with little additional role for class sizes or infrastructure quality. • Parents’ willingness to walk for learning outcomestheir tradeoff between distance and quality—varies widely by region. • Regional variation in willingness to walk for learning is not reflected in the mix of services provided by the school system.

Traditional apprenticeship in Ghana and Senegal: Skills development for youth for the informal sector - Sonnenberg, K (Journal of International Cooperation in Education, 2012)
The demographic youth bulge, representing large cohorts of youth, coupled with lack of pathways to education and employment and therefore social mobility, have become issues of great concern. As a result, youth employment and technical and vocational skills development have grown in prominence on international and national agendas in recent years. However, skills development strategies often overlook the informal sector despite the fact that in developing countries, income-generating activities in the informal sector often far exceed those of the formal sector. UNESCO’s 2012 EFA Global Monitoring Report on youth skills development states that traditional apprenticeships are an important way of acquiring transferable and job-specific skills, particularly for the informal sector. An extensive review of the literature of Ghana and Senegal reveals that these two countries have long histories of traditional apprenticeship and that these forms of skills training reach more youth than formal technical and vocational training. This paper examines the approaches these two countries’ governments have taken to increase access to and quality of non-formal skills training opportunities. Despite a lack of data on the long-term outcomes of these initiatives, programs and reforms, several important implications arise from these countries’ experiences. These implications are discussed as well as areas for future research.

Effectiveness of Computer-Assisted Instruction in Statistics: A Meta-Analysis - Sosa, Giovanni W.; Berger, Dale E.; Saw, Amanda T.; Mary, Justin C. (Review of Educational Research, 2011)
Although previous meta-analyses have documented the efficacy of computer-assisted statistics instruction, the current study examined a range of specific features that presumably influence its effectiveness, such as the level of learner engagement, learner control, and the nature of feedback. In 45 experimental studies with a control condition, computer-assisted statistics instruction provided a meaningful average performance advantage ( d = 0.33). Because of great methodological heterogeneity among the studies, the authors employed a conservative but appropriate mixed effects model to examine potential moderator effects. The authors’ analyses revealed three statistically significant findings. Larger effects were reported in studies in which treatment groups received more instructional time than control groups, in studies that recruited graduate students as participants, and in studies employing an embedded assessment. A newly developed second order standardized mean effect size, d diff , reveals that additional study characteristics may serve as meaningful moderators. Tight experimental control is needed to assess the importance of specific instructional features in computer-assisted statistics instruction.

Human-AI Collaboration to Identify Literature for Evidence Synthesis - Spillias, Scott; Tuohy, Paris; Andreotta, Matthew; Annand-Jones, Ruby; Boschetti, Fabio; Cvitanovic, Christopher; Duggan, Joe; Fulton, Elizabeth; Karcher, Denis; Paris, Cecile (2023)
Systematic approaches to evidence synthesis can improve the rigour, transparency, and replicability of a traditional literature review. However, these systematic approaches are time and resource intensive. We evaluate the ability of OpenAI’s ChatGPT to undertake two initial stages of evidence syntheses (searching peer-reviewed literature and screening for relevance) and develop a novel collaborative framework to leverage the best of both human and AI intelligence. Using a scoping review of community-based sheries management as a case study, we nd that with substantial prompting, the AI can provide critical insight into the construction and content of a search string. Thereafter, we evaluate ve strategies for synthesising AI output to screen articles based on prede ned inclusion criteria. We nd low omission rates (< 1%) of relevant literature by the AI are achievable, which is comparable to that of human screeners. These ndings show that generalised AI tools can assist reviewers with evidence synthesis to accelerate the implementation and improve the reliability of a review.

Guided interaction as intercultural learning: designing internationalisation into a mixed delivery teacher education programme - Spiro, Jane (Higher Education Research and Development, 2011)
In this paper the process of building an international student community is explored. Strategies discussed include guided interaction within a virtual environment between home students studying in their own culture and international students studying at a distance. The context includes both the state and private sector in South East Asia, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East. The subject is a Master of Arts in Education for practising in-service teachers of English. Through exchanging teacher narratives, students identify shared concerns and values about their profession and recognise connections with their peers in apparently widely different cultural settings. Student and tutor evaluations suggest that participants developed the competence of recognising connections between their own meanings and behaviours and those of others. They also deconstructed their assumptions and unexamined beliefs through engagement with others. The paper concludes by analysing how these competences impacted on the self-knowledge and practice of the participants, and suggests the generative principles which made this learning effective.
