Mathematical problem solving and mathematical connections abilities of students with accelerated learning cycle - Amelia, S. (International Conference on Mathematics and Science Education of Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, 2018)
This quasi-experimental research examines the abilities of mathematical problem solving and mathematical connections through the application of Accelerated Learning Cycle. The samples of research were 63 students of seventh grade students in Riau Province, which were divided into an experimental group and a control group. The research instruments were mathematical problem solving and mathematical connection abilities test, and the data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney and two ways ANOVA test. The results of this study indicate that there was a significant effect of Accelerated Learning Cycle on the overall students’ mathematical problem solving and connection skills (p = 0,000; p <0.050) and in all categories of KAM, except both of two categories on mathematical connections ability, high (p = 0.349; p <0.050) and middle (p = 0.100; p <0.050), did not significantly differ. In the problem solving and mathematical connections abilities of students, there was no difference between the categories of KAM and there was no interaction betw een learning and mathematical ability.

Evidence on Programmes that have Supported School Return for Disadvantaged Adolescent Girls - Amenya, Donvan (Institute of Development Studies, 2022)
This paper collates evidence on promising programmes that have supported school return for disadvantaged out-of-school girls in Rwanda and in other comparable low-and-middle-income country contexts. The review found evidence showing that interventions that address financial barriers which keep girls out of school delivered through cash transfers, stipends/fee waivers, and girls only scholarships can be effective in enhancing school return for disadvantaged girls. In addition, there is a strong evidence base showing that multi-faceted programmes that integrate health education, foundational skill training, vocational training, and financial literacy are effective in supporting school return for disadvantaged adolescent girls. While results from systematic reviews show that girls clubs can be effective in supporting school retention for disadvantaged girls, there is limited evidence on effectiveness of clubs in supporting school return for disadvantaged girls. The review found very limited evidence on effectiveness of financial and multi-faceted interventions in supporting school return for disadvantaged girls with disabilities.

Conducting a systematic review in six weeks – experiences with and evaluation of an intensive team pilot project - Ames, Heather; Kornør, Hege; Evensen, Line Holtet; Lidal, Ingeborg Beate; Hafstad, Elisabet; Hestevik, Christine Hillestad; Jardim, Patricia Sofia Jacobsen; Hval, Gyri (Research Square (Research Square), 2023)
Abstract Background Evidence synthesis organisations worldwide are trying to meet commissioners’ need for rapid responses to their evidence synthesis commissions. In this project we piloted an intensive process, working to complete an evidence synthesis within six-weeks, rather than the standard lead time of 4-6 months. There were three objectives: 1) To develop a plan for and conduct an evidence synthesis in six weeks or less (“intensive pilot”) 2) To register time used for the intensive pilot 3) To evaluate the intensive pilot process and identify barriers, facilitators, learning points, areas for improvement or future implementation ideas. Methods The two project teams divided the pilot into three phases: Pre-planning, planning and intensive. During the pre-planning phase commissions were identified and researchers were recruited. During the planning phase the team interacted with the commissioner, completed the evidence synthesis protocol, and planned how they were going to work together during the intensive phase. During the intensive phase the team implemented their plan and completed the evidence synthesis they were assigned. We held reflective meetings and kept evaluator notes throughout the process. Results The team was able to achieve the project objectives. They developed and implemented a plan for conducting an evidence synthesis in six weeks. They registered their times use. During the pilot process the team reflected on and evaluated the process itself to identify barriers, facilitators, learning points, areas for improvement or future implementation ideas. The involved researchers preferred working in this intensive way. They felt that time use was more effective, and they were more focused. However, there are implications for project leadership and implementation that should be considered before implementing an intensive approach in future evidence synthesis projects. Conclusions The involved researchers preferred working intensively with one evidence synthesis over being involved with many projects at the same time. They felt that time use was more effective, and they were able to complete the tasks in a focused way. However, there are several implications for project management, leadership and further implementation that should be considered before implementing an intensive approach in future evidence syntheses.

Who Benefits from the Public Good? How OER Is Contributing to the Private Appropriation of the Educational Commons - Amiel, Tel; ter Haar, Ewout; Vieira, Miguel Said; Soares, Tiago Chagas (Radical Solutions and Open Science: An Open Approach to Boost Higher Education, 2020)
The idea of Open Educational Resources (OER) has a history and is embedded in social contexts that influence its practice. To get a handle on tensions between different conceptualizations of “open” we discuss some of the battles surrounding the usage of the term. We note the origin of the concept of OER and how the emergence of the OER movement fits into the discourse of educational improvements through technologies and techniques. We argue that there is a relation between an uncritical stance toward technology and the appropriation of education activities by private oligopolies, a phenomenon that could be mitigated by a larger awareness of recent history and current sociotechnical analysis. We point out how these dilemmas play out in the Brazilian context of the implementation of OER in public policies and conclude by mentioning some programs and projects that point to the way forward.

A Review Of The Job Satisfaction Theory For Special Education Perspective - Amin, Farah Azaliney Binti Mohd; Al, Et (Turkish Journal of Computer and Mathematics Education (TURCOMAT), 2021)
Job satisfaction reflects a positive feeling towards the task performed. Through this value of job satisfaction, an individual will feel confident and enthusiastic in every job undertaken. In the field of education, of course the discussion is focused on the job satisfaction of teachers because the main role in the delivery of knowledge in schools is the teachers. Even in special education specifically, job satisfaction is very important in increasing the accauntibility of special education teachers as well as motivating themselves to continue to dedicate themselves to religion, race and country. The discussion of job satisfaction, has been explained in several theories that can be linked to special education. This study was conducted to examine the previous theories related to teacher job satisfaction which can be referenced by teachers.

The Sierra Leone Teachers Union: Labor in a Post-Conflict Society - Amman, John; O'Donnell, James (WorkingUSA, 2011)
The Sierra Leone Teachers Union (SLTU) has long played an important role in the country's education system and its labor movement. With more than 30,000 members, the SLTU is the largest and perhaps the most powerful union in Sierra Leone today. Nonetheless, the union struggles with challenges unheard of in developed countries. It represents teachers in an education system that was ravished by its eleven-year civil war (1991 to 2002). Not only are working conditions extremely difficult for teachers (classroom overcrowding, lack of educational materials, low pay, and often late pay), the union must negotiate union agreements with the Ministry of Education, which itself has no direct influence on the nation's coffers. Sierra Leone's Ministry of Finance and more importantly, the International Monetary Fund set policies that directly impact the quality of Sierra Leone's education system and its teachers.

Health impact assessment and climate change: A scoping review - Ammann, Priska; Dietler, Dominik; Winkler, Mirko S. (The Journal of Climate Change and Health, 2021)
Climate change has various adverse impacts on public health, ranging from heat-related illness to an increased risk of undernutrition in low-income countries. Health impact assessment (HIA) has been advocated as a valuable tool to systematically identify and quantify the effects of climate change on public health and to inform and evaluate the impact of disease-specific adaptation measures as well as health co-benefits of mitigation measures. We conducted a scoping review to map out peer-reviewed literature on HIA in the context of climate change. Web of Science, Scopus and PubMed were searched without language or time restriction. Publications were included in the full text screening that presented or discussed the application of HIA for investigating health impacts of climate change, or associated adaptation and mitigation measures. In total, 76 peer-reviewed publications from 26 countries were included and characterized. There was a paucity of studies on HIA in the context of climate change from low- and middle-income countries. The most investigated climate change effects were related to temperature and air-pollution. Consequently, associated health impacts, such as respiratory or cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, were examined most frequently. Research-driven HIAs with a quantitative methodological approach were the predominant choice to assess health impacts of climate change. Only one in five publications applied a classical step-by-step HIA approach. While quantitative assessment of health impacts associated with climate change seems to be a well established field of research, the few publications applying a step-by-step HIA approach to systematically anticipate potential health impacts of climate change in a given context point at a missed opportunity for strengthening intersectoral collaboration to maximize health (co-) benefits of climate mitigation and adaptation measures. To promote the use of step-by-step HIA in regions that are most affected by climate change, HIA teaching and training efforts are urgently needed.

Assessing a Remedial Intervention Programme in Developing the Planning Skills of Grade 4 and 5 Learners - Amod, Zaytoon; Heafield, Deidré; Seabi, Joseph (International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2018)
The search for assessment procedures that are more fair and useful have led to the investigation of alternatives to traditional forms of intellectual assessment. This study explored an alternative which combined a dynamic assessment approach with the Planning, Attention, Simultaneous and Successive Processing (PASS) model of cognitive processing. The aim was to investigate the effectiveness of a planning intervention programme based on Feuerstein's criteria for Mediated Learning Experience (MLE) with a group of Grade 4 and 5 remedial school learners who presented with a range of barriers to learning. Twenty six learners were assigned to the experimental group and 25 to the control group. The results showed that there was a significant improvement in the experimental group's Planning Scale score on the Cognitive Assessment System, following the intervention. These results imply that children often have far greater potential than is realised and that intentional mediation can help to enhance cognitive functioning and assist in further developing children's learning potential.

Best Practice for Scaling Up Efforts to Improve English Language Skills - Amonoo-Kuafi, Esi Fenyiwa (2019)
This rapid review drew primarily on academic and grey literature published in the last 10 years. Presently, there is a paucity of literature which explores comparable national experiences of implementing large‐scale English language programs and which provide: (i) documentation of the critical components and conditions of the programme designs that affect the likelihood of successfully transitioning from pilot to scale; (ii) review of the design, deployment, and effectiveness of each pilot programme; and (iii) the scale, design, duration, enabling conditions, and initial effectiveness results of the scaled language programmes. The most insightful case study from which there are several recommendations for future language programmes was that of the English in Action (EIA) programme in Bangladesh. Many of the recommendations from this study are listed above and expanded upon in Section 4 of this report. This report is organised into six sections. Section 1 provided an overview of the report findings; Section 2 seeks to give a brief review of some of the background literature on language acquisition and language practice; Section 3 then considers scaling up of national programmes – firstly with an overview of the main lessons regarding scaling up, then looking at lessons learnt for scaling up education programmes more generally; Section 4 focus is on lessons specifically learnt from English language programmes; Section 5 provides the full list of references used.

ClassBeacons: Designing Distributed Visualization of Teachers' Physical Proximity in the Classroom - An, Pengcheng; Bakker, Saskia; Ordanovski, Sara; Taconis, Ruurd; Eggen, Berry (Proceedings of the Twelfth International Conference on Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied Interaction, 2018)
As necessary for creating a learner-centered environment, nowadays teachers are expected to be more mindful about their proximity distribution: how to spend time in different locations of the classroom with individual learners. However feedback on this is only given to teachers by experts after classroom observation. In this paper we present the design and evaluation of ClassBeacons, a novel ambient information system that visualizes teachers' physical proximity through tangible devices distributed over the classroom. An expert review and a field evaluation with eight secondary school teachers were conducted to explore potential values of such a system and gather user experiences. Results revealed rich insights into how the system could influence teaching and learning, as well as how a distributed display can be seamlessly integrated into teachers' routines.

Publication rate and citation counts for preprints released during the COVID-19 pandemic: the good, the bad and the ugly - Añazco, Diego; Nicolalde, Bryan; Espinosa, Isabel; Camacho, Jose; Mushtaq, Mariam; Gimenez, Jimena; Teran, Enrique (PeerJ, 2021)
Background Preprints are preliminary reports that have not been peer-reviewed. In December 2019, a novel coronavirus appeared in China, and since then, scientific production, including preprints, has drastically increased. In this study, we intend to evaluate how often preprints about COVID-19 were published in scholarly journals and cited. Methods We searched the iSearch COVID-19 portfolio to identify all preprints related to COVID-19 posted on bioRxiv, medRxiv, and Research Square from January 1, 2020, to May 31, 2020. We used a custom-designed program to obtain metadata using the Crossref public API. After that, we determined the publication rate and made comparisons based on citation counts using non-parametric methods. Also, we compared the publication rate, citation counts, and time interval from posting on a preprint server to publication in a scholarly journal among the three different preprint servers. Results Our sample included 5,061 preprints, out of which 288 were published in scholarly journals and 4,773 remained unpublished (publication rate of 5.7%). We found that articles published in scholarly journals had a significantly higher total citation count than unpublished preprints within our sample (p < 0.001), and that preprints that were eventually published had a higher citation count as preprints when compared to unpublished preprints (p < 0.001). As well, we found that published preprints had a significantly higher citation count after publication in a scholarly journal compared to as a preprint (p < 0.001). Our results also show that medRxiv had the highest publication rate, while bioRxiv had the highest citation count and shortest time interval from posting on a preprint server to publication in a scholarly journal. Conclusions We found a remarkably low publication rate for preprints within our sample, despite accelerated time to publication by multiple scholarly journals. These findings could be partially attributed to the unprecedented surge in scientific production observed during the COVID-19 pandemic, which might saturate reviewing and editing processes in scholarly journals. However, our findings show that preprints had a significantly lower scientific impact, which might suggest that some preprints have lower quality and will not be able to endure peer-reviewing processes to be published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Effects of a Scalable Home‐Visiting Intervention on Child Development in Slums of Urban India: Evidence from a Randomised Controlled Trial. - Andrew, Alison; Attanasio, Orazio; Augsburg, Britta; Day, Monimalika; Grantham‐McGregor, Sally; Meghir, Costas; Mehrin, Fardina; Pahwa, Smriti; Rubio‐Codina, Marta (Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2020)
Background An estimated 63.4 million Indian children under 5 years are at risk of poor development. Home visits that use a structured curriculum to help caregivers enhance the quality of the home stimulation environment improve developmental outcomes. However, achieving effectiveness in poor urban contexts through scalable models remains challenging. Methods Using a cluster randomised controlled trial, we evaluated a psychosocial stimulation intervention, comprising weekly home visits for 18 months, in urban slums of Cuttack, Odisha, India. The intervention is complementary to existing early childhood services in India and was run and managed through a local branch of a national NGO. The study ran from August 2013 to July 2015. We enrolled 421 children aged 10–20 months from 54 slums. Slums were randomised to intervention or control. Primary outcomes were children's cognitive, receptive language, expressive language and fine motor development assessed using the Bayley-III. Prespecified intent-to-treat analysis investigated impacts and heterogeneity by gender. Trial registrations: ISRCTN89476603, AEARCTR-0000169. Results Endline data for 378 (89.8%) children were analysed. Attrition was balanced between groups. We found improvements of 0.349 of a standard deviation (SD; p = .005, stepdown p = .017) to cognition while impacts on receptive language, expressive language and fine motor development were, respectively, 0.224 SD (p = .099, stepdown p = .184), 0.192 SD (p = .085, stepdown p = .184) and 0.111 (p = .385, stepdown p = .385). A child development factor improved by 0.301 SD (p = .032). Benefits were larger for boys. The quality of the home stimulation environment also improved. Conclusions This study shows that a potentially scalable home-visiting intervention is effective in poor urban areas.

Building State Capability: Evidence, Analysis, Action - Andrews, Matt; Pritchett, Lant; Woolcock, Michael (Oxford University Press, 2017)
Governments play a major role in the development process, and constantly introduce reforms and policies to achieve developmental objectives. Many of these interventions have limited impact, however; schools get built but children don't learn, IT systems are introduced but not used, plans are written but not implemented. These achievement deficiencies reveal gaps in capabilities, and weaknesses in the process of building state capability. 00This book addresses these weaknesses and gaps. It starts by providing evidence of the capability shortfalls that currently exist in many countries, showing that many governments lack basic capacities even after decades of reforms and capacity building efforts. The book then analyses this evidence, identifying capability traps that hold many governments back - particularly related to isomorphic mimicry (where governments copy best practice solutions from other countries that make them look more capable even if they are not more capable) and premature load bearing (where governments adopt new mechanisms that they cannot actually make work, given weak extant capacities). The book then describes a process that governments can use to escape these capability traps.

Escaping Capability Traps Through Problem Driven Iterative Adaptation (PDIA) - Andrews, Matt; Pritchett, Lant; Woolcock, Michael
Many reform initiatives in developing countries fail to achieve sustained improvements in performance because they are merely isomorphic mimicry—that is, governments and organizations pretend to reform by changing what policies or organizations look like rather than what they actually do. The flow of development resources and legitimacy without demonstrated improvements in performance, however, undermines the impetus for effective action to build state capability or improve performance. This dynamic facilitates ‗capability traps‘ in which state capability stagnates, or even deteriorates, over long periods of time despite governments remaining engaged in developmental rhetoric and continuing to receive development resources. How can countries escape capability traps? We propose an approach, Problem-Driven Iterative Adaptation (PDIA), based on four core principles, each of which stands in sharp contrast with the standard approaches. First, PDIA focuses on solving locally nominated and defined problems in performance (as opposed to transplanting pre-conceived and packaged ―best practice‖ solutions). Second, it seeks to create an ‗authorizing environment‘ for decision-making that encourages ‗positive deviance‘ and experimentation (as opposed to designing projects and programs and then requiring agents to implement them exactly as designed). Third, it embeds this experimentation in tight feedback loops that facilitate rapid experiential learning (as opposed to enduring long lag times in learning from ex post ―evaluation‖). Fourth, it actively engages broad sets of agents to ensure that reforms are viable, legitimate, relevant and supportable (as opposed to a narrow set of external experts promoting the ―top down‖ diffusion of innovation).

Student Version of the Teacher–Student Relationship Inventory (S-TSRI): Development, Validation and Invariance - Ang, Rebecca P.; Ong, Soo Lin; Li, Xiang (Frontiers in Psychology, 2020)
There is limited knowledge concerning children’s relationships with their teachers, and specifically, we lack a suitable, culturally appropriate measurement instrument for assessing the teacher-student relationship from the student’s perspective in Asia. This study used attachment theory as a theoretical framework to understand teacher-student relationships. Using a dataset from the Ministry of Education (MOE) of Singapore, the authors developed and validated a student version of the Teacher-Student Relationship Inventory (S-TSRI), with good psychometric properties for Singaporean children. The three-factor S-TSRI model comprising the factors satisfaction, instrumental help, and conflict was first established by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Through subsequent multigroup CFAs, we found that the factorial invariance was supported across gender, grade levels, and students of different academic levels, represented by the pass and fail groups. The structural model was tested in the total, pass, and fail groups. For the total and pass groups, the factors satisfaction and instrumental help showed significant positive relationships with a sense of school belonging, and negative or non-significant relationships with aggression. The conflict factor showed a weaker negative or non-significant relationship with a sense of school belonging, and a positive relationship with aggression. For the fail group, identical results were obtained with one exception; this was discussed in light of the fail group having a different needs profile. Findings from this study show that the 14-item S-TSRI measure has robust psychometric properties and yields scores that are reliable and valid in this large sample of primary school students from Singapore.

Essays in development economics, human capital and external validity - Angrist, N. (University of Oxford, 2020)
This thesis comprises three papers under the overarching theme of external validity – a question of how the effectiveness of interventions or policies translate across contexts. I focus on interventions that aim to improve human capital, specifically health and education, in developing countries. To address the topic of external validity, we need comparable interventions and outcomes as well as identification of causal mechanisms that drive intervention effectiveness across contexts. My three papers contribute to each aspect. Two of my papers focus on constructing and comparing outcomes to measure education and human capital globally. In a third paper, I conduct a large-scale randomized controlled trial of a sex education intervention in Botswana in a third of the country. This trial builds on a prior trial showing a similar intervention reduced teenage pregnancy by 28% in Kenya ten years prior. The study in Botswana provides replicable evidence across contexts, showing reductions in pregnancy of up to 40%. The trial also deepens understanding of the underlying mechanism driving behavior by testing novel dimensions, such as the degree to which the messenger delivering the sex education message matters. I find the messenger makes-or-breaks the intervention: while near-peer educators reduce pregnancy, government teachers have a null effect and appear to induce a teenage rebellion response. This contrast is striking, suggesting that an underexplored dimension on which external validity turns – the messenger – might matter more than dimensions which traditionally get more attention, such as time and geography.

Stemming Learning Loss During the Pandemic: A Rapid Randomized Trial of a Low-Tech Intervention in Botswana - Angrist, Noam; Bergman, Peter; Brewster, Caton; Matsheng, Moitshepi (2020)
The COVID-19 pandemic has closed schools for over 1.6 billion children, with potentially long-term consequences. This paper provides some of the first experimental evidence on strategies to minimize the fallout of the pandemic on education outcomes. We evaluate two low-technology interventions to substitute schooling during this period: SMS text messages and direct phone calls. We conduct a rapid trial in Botswana to inform real-time policy responses collecting data at four- to six-week intervals. We present results from the first wave. We find early evidence that both interventions result in cost-effective learning gains of 0.16 to 0.29 standard deviations. This translates to a reduction in innumeracy of up to 52 percent. We show these results broadly hold with a series of robustness tests that account for differential attrition. We find increased parental engagement in their child’s education and more accurate parent perceptions of their child’s learning. In a second wave of the trial, we provide targeted instruction, customizing text messages to the child's learning level using data from the first wave. The low-tech interventions tested have immediate policy relevance and could have long-run implications for the role of technology and parents as substitutes or complements to the traditional education system.

Practical lessons for phone-based assessments of learning - Angrist, Noam; Bergman, Peter; Evans, David K.; Hares, Susannah; Jukes, Matthew C. H.; Letsomo, Thato (BMJ Global Health, 2020)
School closures affecting more than 1.5 billion children are designed to prevent the spread of current public health risks from the COVID-19 pandemic, but they simultaneously introduce new short-term and long-term health risks through lost education. Measuring these effects in real time is critical to inform effective public health responses, and remote phone-based approaches are one of the only viable options with extreme social distancing in place. However, both the health and education literature are sparse on guidance for phone-based assessments. In this article, we draw on our pilot testing of phone-based assessments in Botswana, along with the existing literature on oral testing of reading and mathematics, to propose a series of preliminary practical lessons to guide researchers and service providers as they try phone-based learning assessments. We provide preliminary evidence that phone-based assessments can accurately capture basic numeracy skills. We provide guidance to help teams (1) ensure that children are not put at risk, (2) test the reliability and validity of phone-based measures, (3) use simple instructions and practice items to ensure the assessment is focused on the target skill, not general language and test-taking skills, (4) adapt the items from oral assessments that will be most effective in phone-based assessments, (5) keep assessments brief while still gathering meaningful learning data, (6) use effective strategies to encourage respondents to pick up the phone, (7) build rapport with adult caregivers and youth respondents, (8) choose the most cost-effective medium and (9) account for potential bias in samples.

Experimental evidence on learning using low-tech when school is out - Angrist, Noam; Bergman, Peter; Matsheng, Moitshepi (Nature Human Behaviour, 2022)
School closures occurred extensively during the COVID-19 pandemic, and occur in other settings, such as teacher strikes and natural disasters. The cost of school closures has proven to be substantial, particularly for households of lower socioeconomic status, but little evidence exists on how to mitigate these learning losses. This paper provides experimental evidence on strategies to support learning when schools close. We conduct a large-scale randomized trial testing two low-technology interventions—SMS messages and phone calls—with parents to support their child in Botswana. The combined treatment improves learning by 0.12 standard deviations, which translates to 0.89 standard deviations of learning per US$100, ranking among the most cost-effective interventions to improve learning. We develop remote assessment innovations, which show robust learning outcomes. Our findings have immediate policy relevance and long-run implications for the role of technology and parents to support education provision during school disruptions.

School’s Out: Experimental Evidence on Limiting Learning Loss Using “Low-Tech” in a Pandemic - Angrist, Noam; Bergman, Peter; Matsheng, Moitshepi (National Bureau of Economic Research, 2020)
Schools closed extensively during the COVID-19 pandemic and occur in other settings, such as teacher strikes and natural disasters. This paper provides some of the first experimental evidence on strategies to minimize learning loss when schools close. We run a randomized trial of low-technology interventions – SMS messages and phone calls – with parents to support their child. The combined treatment cost-effectively improves learning by 0.12 standard deviations. We develop remote assessment innovations, which show robust learning outcomes. Our findings have immediate policy relevance and long-run implications for the role of technology and parents as partial educational substitutes when schooling is disrupted.

Building back better to avert a learning catastrophe: Estimating learning loss from COVID-19 school shutdowns in Africa and facilitating short-term and long-term learning recovery - Angrist, Noam; de Barros, Andreas; Bhula, Radhika; Chakera, Shiraz; Cummiskey, Chris; DeStefano, Joseph; Floretta, John; Kaffenberger, Michelle; Piper, Benjamin; Stern, Jonathan (International Journal of Educational Development, 2021)
We model learning losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the potential for cost-effective strategies to build back better. Data from Early Grade Reading Assessments in Ethiopia, Kenya, Liberia, Tanzania, and Uganda suggest half to over a year’s worth of learning loss. In modeling losses over time, we found that learning deficits for a child in grade 3 could lead to 2.8 years of lost learning by grade 10. While COVID-19 has stymied learning, bold, learning-focused reform consistent with the literature reviewed in this paper—specifically reform on targeted instruction and structured pedagogy—could improve learning even beyond pre-COVID-19 levels.

How to improve education outcomes most efficiently? A comparison of 150 interventions using the new Learning-Adjusted Years of Schooling metric - Angrist, Noam; Evans, David K.; Filmer, Deon; Glennerster, Rachel; Rogers, F. Halsey; Sabarwal, Shwetlena (The World Bank, 2020)
Many low- and middle-income countries lag far behind high-income countries in educational access and student learning. Limited resources mean that policymakers must make tough choices about which investments to make to improve education. Although hundreds of education interventions have been rigorously evaluated, making comparisons between the results is challenging. Some studies report changes in years of schooling; others report changes in learning. Standard deviations, the metric typically used to report learning gains, measure gains relative to a local distribution of test scores. This metric makes it hard to judge if the gain is worth the cost in absolute terms. This paper proposes using learning-adjusted years of schooling (LAYS)—which combines access and quality and compares gains to an absolute, cross-country standard—as a new metric for reporting gains from education interventions. The paper applies LAYS to compare the effectiveness (and cost-effectiveness, where cost is available) of interventions from 150 impact evaluations across 46 countries. The results show that some of the most cost-effective programs deliver the equivalent of three additional years of high-quality schooling (that is, schooling at quality comparable to the highest-performing education systems) for just $100 per child—compared with zero years for other classes of interventions.

Design-based online teacher professional development to introduce integration of STEM in Pakistan - Anwar, Tasneem (University of Minnesota, 2017)
In today's global society where innovations spread rapidly, the escalating focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) has quickly intensified in the United States, East Asia and much of Western Europe. Our ever-changing, increasingly global society faces many multidisciplinary problems, and many of the solutions require the integration of multiple science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts. Thus, there is a critical need to explore the integration of STEM subjects in international education contexts. This dissertation study examined the exploration of integration of STEM in the unique context of Pakistan. This study used three-phase design-based methodological framework derived from McKenney and Reeves (2012) to explore the development of a STEM focused online teacher professional development (oTPD-STEM) and to identify the design features that facilitate teacher learning. The oTPD-STEM program was designed to facilitate eight Pakistani elementary school teachers' exploration of the new idea of STEM integration through both practical and theoretical considerations. This design-based study employed inductive analysis (Strauss and Corbin, 1998) to analyze multiple data sources of interviews, STEM perception responses, reflective learning team conversations, pre-post surveys and artifacts produced in oTPD-STEM. Findings of this study are presented as: (1) design-based decisions for oTPD-STEM, and (2) evolution in understanding of STEM by sharing participant teachers' STEM model for Pakistani context. This study advocates for the potential of school-wide oTPD for interdisciplinary collaboration through support for learner-centered practices.

Challenges and opportunities for climate change education (CCE) in East Africa: A critical review - Apollo, Abigael; Mbah, Marcellus Forh (Climate, 2021)
It is undoubtedly clear that climate change is happening, and its adverse impacts could reverse the progress made toward meeting sustainable development goals. The global crisis poses one of the most severe challenges to reducing poverty and existing inequalities, especially in developing countries that are projected to be highly vulnerable to climate variability. However, the education sector provides an untapped opportunity for successful climate change adaptation and mitigation through knowledge and skill acquisitions, and consequently, positive behavioral change. Specifically, education can capacitate individuals and communities to make informed decisions and take practical actions for climate-resilient sustainable development. This study is focused on East Africa, a region whose economy heavily relies on climate-dependent activities. At present, East African governments are already embedding climate change in their school curriculum. However, they lack coherent approaches to leverage climate change education as a tool in their adaptation and mitigation strategies. Therefore, this review explores some of the critical barriers to climate change education and possible opportunities for leveraging learning to promote sustainable development in East Africa.

The volume is thus connected to the publication “Berufsbildung am Bau digital” (edited by Bernd Mahrin and Johannes Meyser), which was published in 2019 by the University Press of the Technische Universität Berlin. The first chapter discusses fundamental didactic questions about digitally supported learning and working, including the framework conditions. The second chapter picks contributions on capacity development, standards, and digital tools out as central themes. The third chapter is dedicated to concrete specific solutions with strong practical relevance and high transfer potential for digitized work and learning in the construction sector and in the metal sector. The final fourth chapter presents comprehensive and freely accessible online offers such as a media pool for educational purposes, a learning media database and a hybrid learning system with a virtual 3D building model. The book was created as part of the DigiBAU project - digital vocational learning and working in the field of construction - funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the European Social Fund.

Informing the scale-up of Kenya's nursing workforce: A mixed methods study of factors affecting pre-service training capacity and production - Appiagyei, Ashley A.; Kiriinya, Rose N.; Gross, Jessica M.; Wambua, David N.; Oywer, Elizabeth O.; Kamenju, Andrew K.; Higgins, Melinda K.; Riley, Patricia L.; Rogers, Martha F. (Human Resources for Health, 2014)
© 2014 Appiagyei et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd. Background: Given the global nursing shortage and investments to scale-up the workforce, this study evaluated trends in annual student nurse enrolment, pre-service attrition between enrolment and registration, and factors that influence nurse production in Kenya.Methods: This study used a mixed methods approach with data from the Regulatory Human Resources Information System (tracks initial student enrolment through registration) and the Kenya Health Workforce Information System (tracks deployment and demographic information on licensed nurses) for the quantitative analyses and qualitative data from key informant interviews with nurse training institution educators and/or administrators. Trends in annual student nurse enrolment from 1999 to 2010 were analyzed using regulatory and demographic data. To assess pre-service attrition between training enrolment and registration with the nursing council, data for a cohort that enrolled in training from 1999 to 2004 and completed training by 2010 was analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was used to test for factors that significantly affected attrition. To assess the capacity of nurse training institutions for scale-up, qualitative data was obtained through key informant interviews.Results: From 1999 to 2010, 23,350 students enrolled in nurse training in Kenya. While annual new student enrolment doubled between 1999 (1,493) and 2010 (3,030), training institutions reported challenges in their capacity to accommodate the increased numbers. Key factors identified by the nursing faculty included congestion at clinical placement sites, limited clinical mentorship by qualified nurses, challenges with faculty recruitment and retention, and inadequate student housing, transportation and classroom space. Pre-service attrition among the cohort that enrolled between 1999 and 2004 and completed training by 2010 was found to be low (6%).Conclusion: To scale-up the nursing workforce in Kenya, concurrent investments in expanding the number of student nurse clinical placement sites, utilizing alternate forms of skills training, hiring more faculty and clinical instructors, and expanding the dormitory and classroom space to accommodate new students are needed to ensure that increases in student enrolment are not at the cost of quality nursing education. Student attrition does not appear to be a concern in Kenya compared to other African countries (10 to 40%).

Examining the effectiveness of technology use in classrooms: A tertiary meta-analysis - Archer, Karin; Savage, Robert; Sanghera-Sidhu, Sukhbinder; Wood, Eileen; Gottardo, Alexandra; Chen, Victoria (Computers & Education, 2014)
Identifying effective literacy instruction programs has been a focal point for governments, educators and parents over the last few decades (Ontario Ministry of Education, 2004, 2006; Council of Ontario Directors of Education, 2011). Given the increasing use of computer technologies in the classroom and in the home, a variety of information communication technology (ICT) interventions for learning have been introduced. Meta-analyses comparing the impact of these programs on learning, however, have yielded inconsistent findings (Andrews et al., 2007, Torgerson and Zhu, 2003, Slavin et al., 2008, Slavin et al., 2009). The present tertiary meta-analytic review re-assesses outcomes presented in three previous meta-analyses. Four moderator variables assessed the impact of the systematic review from which they were retrieved, training and support, implementation fidelity and who delivered the intervention (teacher versus researcher). Significant results were found when training and support was entered as a moderator variable with the small overall effectiveness of the ICTs (ES = 0.18), similar to those found in previous research, increasing significantly (ES = 0.57). These findings indicate the importance of including implementation factors such as training and support, when considering the relative effectiveness of ICT interventions.

Early childhood environmental education: A systematic review of the research literature - Ardoin, Nicole M.; Bowers, Alison W. (Educational Research Review, 2020)
Environmental education focused on the early-childhood years is experiencing dynamic growth in research and practice due to persistent environmental challenges coupled with burgeoning interest in the documented benefits of nature-rich experiences for infants and children. To better understand the landscape of early childhood environmental education (ECEE) pedagogical practices and expected outcomes, we undertook a systematic review of empirical studies of ECEE programs. Focusing on a 25-year span, we surfaced 66 studies that met our inclusion criteria. We found that participants in such programs spanned the early-childhood age range (birth through age eight) with the majority involving three- to six-year-olds in teacher-led, formal (school-like) programs. The primary outcomes documented in our sample studies included environmental literacy development, cognitive development, and social and emotional development. To a lesser extent, the studies addressed physical development and language and literacy development. On balance, our sample of ECEE studies reported strongly positive findings associated with the aforementioned outcomes. The majority emphasized the effectiveness of play-based, nature-rich pedagogical approaches that incorporated movement and social interaction. We include a visualization that synthesizes cross-sample findings with the intention of assisting ECEE practitioners in developing, implementing, and evaluating programs as well as encouraging researchers to further study elements, processes, and theoretical assumptions inherent in them.

Environmental education outcomes for conservation: A systematic review - Ardoin, Nicole M.; Bowers, Alison W.; Gaillard, Estelle (Biological Conservation, 2020)
Effective environmental education represents more than a unidirectional transfer of information: rather, this suite of tools develops and enhances environmental attitudes, values, and knowledge, as well as builds skills that prepare individuals and communities to collaboratively undertake positive environmental action. Environmental education also facilitates connections between actionable research findings and on-the-ground practices, creating synergistic spaces where stakeholders collaborate to address dynamic environmental issues over time. Because of this commitment to application and iteration, environmental education can result in direct benefits to the environment and address conservation issues concretely. Yet, the path to achieving those tangible impacts can be winding, with robust data documenting changes challenging to produce. To better understand the research-implementation spaces where those environmental education outcomes occur, are measured, and are reported, we undertook a systematic review of research on environmental education's contributions to conservation and environmental quality outcomes. Given the variation in research designs and data, we used a mixed-methods approach to the review; analysis of the 105 resulting studies documented strongly positive environmental education outcomes overall and highlighted productive research-implementation spaces. Chi-square analyses revealed that programs reporting direct outcomes, compared with those reporting indirect outcomes, differed on primary topic addressed. A narrative analysis indicated that environmental education programs documenting direct impacts included: a focus on localized issues or locally relevant dimensions of broader issues; collaboration with scientists, resource managers, and/or community organizations; integrated action elements; and intentional measurement/reporting structures. Those themes suggest program development and documentation ideas as well as further opportunities for productive research-implementation spaces.

Should We Treat Data as Labor? Moving beyond "Free" - Arrieta-Ibarra, Imanol; Goff, Leonard; Jiménez-Hernández, Diego; Lanier, Jaron; Weyl, E. Glen (AEA Papers and Proceedings, 2018)
In the digital economy, user data is typically treated as capital created by corporations observing willing individuals. This neglects users' roles in creating data, reducing incentives for users, distributing the gains from the data economy unequally, and stoking fears of automation. Instead, treating data (at least partially) as labor could help resolve these issues and restore a functioning market for user contributions, but may run against the near-term interests of dominant data monopsonists who have benefited from data being treated as "free." Countervailing power, in the form of competition, a data labor movement, and/or thoughtful regulation could help restore balance.

A Critical Analysis of the What3Words Geocoding Algorithm - Arthur, Rudy (arXiv.org, 2023)
What3Words is a geocoding application that uses triples of words instead of alphanumeric coordinates to identify locations. What3Words has grown rapidly in popularity over the past few years and is used in logistical applications worldwide, including by emergency services. What3Words has also attracted criticism for being less reliable than claimed, in particular that the chance of confusing one address with another is high. This paper investigates these claims and shows that the What3Words algorithm for assigning addresses to grid boxes creates many pairs of confusable addresses, some of which are quite close together. The implications of this for the use of What3Words in critical or emergency situations is discussed.

Characteristics of micro, small and medium enterprises in Ghana: Gender and implications for economic growth - Asare, Roland; Akuffobea, Mavis; Quaye, Wilhelmina; Atta-Antwi, Kwasi (African Journal of Science, Technology, Innovation and Development, 2015)
© 2015 African Journal of Science, Technology, Innovation and Development. This paper sought to investigate the characteristics of MSMEs and to suggest ways of improving performance, particularly tackling constraints faced by women and youth entrepreneurs in Ghana. A total of 4 433 MSME operators were interviewed in all the ten regions of Ghana using a structured questionnaire. The study revealed that apprenticeship was the most common form of training received by the MSME operators interviewed. Disaggregating data by gender, it was observed that more men had received training in their business operations than women. Close to 90% of the MSMEs were under sole proprietorship. There was significant correlation between gender and scale of enterprises, with increasing numbers of men as scale of operations increased. Women, who dominated the agro-processing, agro-industrial and services sectors, were constrained by ineffective marketing strategies, lack of capital, inadequate equipment and machinery, lack of improved technology, inadequate training and low skill development. Marketing strategies employed by the majority of women were limited, mostly patronising markets within their respective districts of business operations. The study recommended support for women to access sizeable business credit with flexible payment plans, tailor-made skill development training and improved access to institutional markets with quality and well-packaged products.

Refugee Education: A Rapid Evidence Review - Ashlee, Amy; Clericetti, Giulia; Mitchell, Joel (EdTech Hub, 2020)
This Rapid Evidence Review (RER) provides an overview of existing literature on the use of educational technology (EdTech) for education of refugees in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The RER has been produced in response to the widespread global shutdown of schools resulting from the outbreak of Covid-19. It therefore has an emphasis on transferable insights that may be applicable to educational responses resulting from the limitations caused by Covid-19. In the current global context, lessons learnt from the use of EdTech in refugee contexts — in which education is often significantly disrupted and education systems and responses are required to rapidly adapt — are salient.

Negotiating a Better Future: How Interpersonal Skills Facilitate Intergenerational Investment* - Ashraf, Nava; Bau, Natalie; Low, Corinne; McGinn, Kathleen (The Quarterly Journal of Economics, 2020)
Abstract Using a randomized controlled trial, we study whether a negotiation skills training can improve girls’ educational outcomes in a low-resource environment. We find that a negotiation training given to eighth-grade Zambian girls significantly improved educational outcomes over the next three years, and these effects did not fade out. To better understand mechanisms, we estimate the effects of two alternative treatments. Negotiation had much stronger effects than an informational treatment, which had no effect. A treatment designed to have more traditional girls’ empowerment effects had directionally positive but insignificant educational effects. Relative to this treatment, negotiation increased enrollment in higher-quality schooling and had larger effects for high-ability girls. These findings are consistent with a model in which negotiation allows girls to resolve incomplete contracting problems with their parents, yielding increased educational investment for those who experience sufficiently high returns. We provide evidence for this channel through a lab-in-the-field game and follow-up survey with girls and their guardians.

Moving teachers to Malawi’s remote communities: A data-driven approach to teacher deployment - Asim, Salman; Chimombo, Joseph; Chugunov, Dmitry; Gera, Ravinder (2017)
There are severe geographical disparities in pupil-teacher ratios (PTR) across Malawi, with most teachers concentrated near commercial centers and in rural schools with better amenities. Most of the variation in PTR is concentrated in small sub-district areas, suggesting a central role for micro-geographic factors in teacher distribution. Employing administrative data from several government sources, regression analysis reveals that school-level factors identified by teachers as desirable are closely associated with PTR, including access to roads, electricity, and water, and distance to the nearest trading center, suggesting a central role for teachers’ interests in PTR variation. Political economy network mapping reveals that teachers leverage informal networks and political patronage to resist placement in remote schools, while administrative officials are unable to stand up to these formal and informal pressures, in part because of a lack of reliable databases and objective criteria for the allocation of teachers. This study curates a systematic database of the physical placement of all teachers in Malawi and links it with data on school facilities and geo-spatial coordinates of commercial centers. The study develops a consistent and objective measure of school remoteness, which can be applied to develop policies to create rules for equitable deployments and targeting of incentives. Growing awareness of disparities in PTRs among district education officials is already showing promising improvements in targeting of new teachers. Simulation results of planned policy applications show significant potential impacts of fiscally-neutral approaches to targeted deployments of new cohorts, as well as retention of teachers through data-calibrated incentives.

Non-state education provision; access and quality for the marginalised - Aslam, Monazza (2017)
This report undertakes a rapid review of some recent, high quality syntheses and reports to summarise the evidence on the effectiveness of different types of non-state schools in reaching the marginalised and providing quality education to them. Non-state provision has risen dramatically over the last few decades especially across South and West Asia and the Latin America and Caribbean region and provides opportunities in Sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere. The all-encompassing term ‘non-state’ constitutes a spectrum of providers with different characteristics, scope and scale. Overall, the evidence is indicative of potential improvements in learning outcomes in certain types of non-state provision but this is caveated by the very low overall learning outcomes across education systems, as well as by the extent to which non-state provision is aligned with human rights. There is evidence of certain types of non-state providers being able to reach the marginalised and disadvantaged more effectively but questions exist with regards to their sustainability. Whilst different types of arrangements may work in different contexts, the critical factor remains the governments’ ability to both foster an enabling environment but also combine it with effective legislation, monitoring and regulation to ensure quality education provision.

Why the TVET System of French-Speaking African Countries is Not Able to Produce a Highly Qualified and Operational Man Power? A Comparison with Canadian Community Colleges - Assignon, Efia R. (Handbook of Comparative Studies on Community Colleges and Global Counterparts, 2018)
Most of the French-speaking African countries gained political independence in the 1960s. Since then, the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) system inherited from France has not allowed them to develop their economies. Moreover, in these countries, there are many new building projects that need highly qualiﬁed workers, and due to the problems with the TVET system, they cannot hire the needed workers locally. This chapter analyzes why for over 50 years, these countries are unable to provide their economies with effective manpower with professional and operational abilities that can function to attract investors and why the system produces so many unemployed graduates. To answer these questions, this chapter will ﬁrst analyze the TVET system in West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) countries, Benin, Burkina Faso, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, Mali, Niger, Senegal, and Togo to then compare it with Canadian Community Colleges. The comparison is made because there are strong similarities between the Francophone African economies and the Canadian economy, both of which are based essentially on small and medium enterprises.

Exploring relationships between Kolb's learning styles and mobile learning readiness of pre-service teachers: a mixed study - Ata, Rıdvan; Cevik, Mustafa (Education and Information Technologies, 2019)
The aim of this research is to reveal relations between Kolb's learning styles and mobile learning readiness of pre-service teachers in depth in regard to different variables and identify their mobile learning perspectives. The study group consisted of 352 students enrolled in undergraduate programs in education faculties of different universities in Turkey. The convergent parallel design was used as a mixed method strategy. The survey model, as a quantitative component, was used to describe the present situation and embedded interviews, as a qualitative component, were carried out to deeply reveal pre-service teachers' perspectives on mobile learning depending on their learning styles. The "Learning Styles Inventory - Version III" as well as the "Mobile Learning Readiness Scale" were administered to participants. ANOVA, Tukey-HSD test and Structural Equation Modelling were used to analyze the quantitative data. The qualitative data were analyzed by the content analysis method. Results suggest that 126 (36%) of the pre-service participating in the study were with the assimilating learning style, 92 (26.29%) participants were with the diverging learning style, 73 (20.85%) were with the converging learning style and 59 (16.85%) were with the accommodating learning style. Furthermore, it was observed that there is a statistically significant relationship between the learning styles of the pre-service teachers and their m-learning readiness. In addition, it was observed that while optimism, self-directed learning and self-efficacy have a strong effect on m-learning; mother education, monthly income, gender, internet use frequency have a moderate effect on m-learning within different learning styles. Qualitative data were also in line with the results of quantitative data. Findings were discussed in light of relevant literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

South Sudan: Stakeholders' Views of Technical and Vocational Education and Training and a Framework for Action - Atari, Dominic Odwa; McKague, Kevin (Journal of Vocational Education & Training, 2015)
The Republic of South Sudan, recently emerging from the longest civil war in contemporary African history, has set goals towards post-conflict reconstruction in many areas of social services. However, the educational infrastructure continues to struggle, and many stakeholders in government and international and local organisations are not sufficiently aware of the needs, challenges and opportunities that face the implementation of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in the country. Preparing future generations of youth and adults with in-demand technical skills and retraining ex-combatants to enter a peacetime workforce is essential to the development and growth of South Sudan. As a first step towards creating the foundation necessary for post-conflict training, we collected and analysed qualitative data from focus groups, in-depth interviews, field observations, and archival documents and identified three interrelated elements that require attention for the effective development of TVET: political climate, curriculum and delivery options. The resulting findings offer a starting point for addressing some of the key constraining factors for the important job of TVET development in South Sudan.

Revisiting Technical and Vocational Education in Sub-Saharan Africa: An Update on Trends, Innovations and Challenges. New Trends in Technical and Vocational Education - Atchoarena, David; Delluc, Andre (2002)
Differences in historical, political, cultural, and economic contexts in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) account for wide variations in structures, operating conditions, and outcomes in technical and vocational education (TVE). This diversity is associated with glaring disparities, so in examining policy trends and the reconstruction of training systems particular attention is focused on innovations in an effort to identify promising initiatives likely to contribute to the establishment of consistent TVE systems, closely linked with the world of work and involving labor market stakeholders. Some common emerging trends in TVE include the following: (1) a shift in the policy focus from inputs to outputs; (2) the use of new financing and certification mechanisms; (3) the involvement of social partners in governance; greater autonomy for institutions; (4) the promotion of private providers and company-based training; and (5) an increasing interest in the informal sector and skills development for poverty reduction. Issues addressed include these: (1) an overview of TVE systems in 10 SSA countries; (2) reviewing various models currently in place; (3) documenting relationships between African TVE systems and policies and donor intervention and traditions in TVE; (4) identifying reasons why certain reforms are facing implementation difficulties; analyzing specific innovations; (5) drawing lessons on the implementation of the reform agenda and its impact on TVE systems; and (6) discussing possible directions for future donor support.

Private Technical and Vocational Education in Sub-Saharan Africa: Provision Patterns and Policy Issues. New Trends in Technical and Vocational Education - Atchoarena, David; Esquieu, Paul (International Institute for Educational Planning, 2002)
The private provision trend in technical and vocational education (TVE) in sub-Saharan Africa occurred as the deterioration of state-run TVE systems in the region created a market niche for private providers. While advocates of deregulation believe the adoption of market principles in TVE will lead to greater efficiency and effectiveness, private providers have emerged in an uncoordinated and unmonitored fashion. A literature review and case studies of two countries Senegal and Mali led to some of the following key findings: (1) in some countries the majority of TVE students are enrolled in private institutions; (2) a large number of private TVE institutions operate illegally; (3) private provision concentrates on the service and commercial trades; and (4) the private sector may operate with lower costs and be more responsive to the labor market, but they do not provide much job-related training or include work-experience programs. Some of the policy issues are as follows: (1) simplifying procedures for establishing private TVE institutions facilitates their growth but is not sufficient to prevent the growth of an illegal sector; (2) the lack of regulation for private TVE institutions raises complex issues regarding the mechanisms required to ensure quality and protect consumers against abuses; and (3) for private TVE to succeed, students and the programs themselves must receive some public funding and develop relationships with industry.

The Impact of COVID-19 on Student Experiences and Expectations: Evidence from a Survey - Aucejo, Esteban M; French, Jacob F; Araya, Maria Paola Ugalde; Zafar, Basit (National Bureau of Economic Research, 2020)
In order to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on higher education, we surveyed approximately 1,500 students at one of the largest public institutions in the United States using an instrument designed to recover the causal impact of the pandemic on students' current and expected outcomes. Results show large negative effects across many dimensions. Due to COVID-19: 13% of students have delayed graduation, 40% lost a job, internship, or a job offer, and 29% expect to earn less at age 35. Moreover, these effects have been highly heterogeneous. One quarter of students increased their study time by more than 4 hours per week due to COVID-19, while another quarter decreased their study time by more than 5 hours per week. This heterogeneity often followed existing socioeconomic divides; lower-income students are 55% more likely to have delayed graduation due to COVID-19 than their higher-income peers. Finally, we show that the economic and health related shocks induced by COVID-19 vary systematically by socioeconomic factors and constitute key mediators in explaining the large (and heterogeneous) effects of the pandemic.

Linking vocational education and training (VET) progression pathways into the academic route in Tanzania: Case study in electrical and mechanical engineering programmes at Arusha technical college (ATC) - Augustine, S. Mbitila; Richard, J. Masika; Donatha, E. Mwase (International Journal of Vocational and Technical Education, 2017)
The bridging course was designed by the Vocational and Education Training Authority (VETA) in collaboration with three technical Colleges/Institutions: Arusha Technical College, Dar es Salaam Institute of Technology and Mbeya University of Science and Technology under the auspices of National Council for Technical Education (NACTE). The course was an immediate solution to the missing link between the Vocational Education and Training (VET) pathway for graduates and the Tanzanian national education model. Data were collected from a random sample of 350 students, from various parts of the country, to analyze the problem. Comparison tests of performance between students from the bridging course and from other educational routes were conducted. Results demonstrate that, the bridging course is a substantive solution to enabling VET students to progress toward further studies. Bridging courses in Technical Colleges and Institutes of Technology offer a valuable contribution to the vocational training sector if sponsored by both Government and Private sector in terms of fiscal and non-fiscal resources.

Industrial training in Ghana: perceptions of the undergraduate construction student - Ayarkwa, J; Adinyira, E; Agyekum, K (2011)
The recent oil discovery and processing in Ghana is expected to result in growth of infrastructural development and increased chances of construction graduates to secure jobs. Universities hold the responsibility of producing graduates with sufficient background and excellent qualification to meet the expectations of the construction industry. Although universities‘ curricula have provisions for industrial training (IT), such programmes have not made the expected impact and need quick redress. This paper assesses the perceptions of undergraduate construction students of the College of Architecture and Planning of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, Ghana, on IT, and identifies challenges and possible measures to overcome such challenges. A structured questionnaire survey of 185 final year Building Technology and Architecture students was conducted. Data obtained were analyzed based on mean scores of factors evaluated and also t-test to assess the significance of the differences between students‘ performance before and after undertaking IT. Students are of the view that IT exposes them to real work environment and increase their job prospects among others. Students‘ satisfaction level with their performance on personal attitude, communication and work attitude significantly improved after undergoing IT. They are, however, not satisfied with their departments‘ involvement, particularly, with regards to placement and monitoring. Stressful placement processes and financial strain on students are some of the challenges identified. Educational institutions are to collaborate with industry to secure suitable placement for all students and to monitor IT activities in order to enhance the effectiveness of training programmes.

GIS Based Suitable Site Selection and Road-map Preparation for Equitable Distribution of Secondary Schools of Amhara Region, Ethiopia - Ayel, Leykun; Wondim, Yirga; Abebe, Abiyu (2018)
The main objective of this study is to select suitable sites for high school construction and prepare 10 years Road-map plan for the equitable distribution of secondary schools in Amhara Region, Ethiopia. The school site selection analysis is done by Multi-Criteria Analysis Method (MCAM) using Arc GIS software and GIS models. Three models: Restriction Model, Suitability Model and Integrated Suitable Sites Model were developed. First, Restriction Model was developed to identify areas excluded from suitability site analysis. Constraints or restrictions considered in this study includes: the area covered by roads, 150-meter noise level buffer along roads, 5-kilometer radius area around existing high schools, ecologically sensitive areas (parks and conservation areas), lakes and dams, and gorges of major rivers. Having Restriction Model results, Suitability Model was developed to identify suitable areas for high school construction. The major criteria used were: number of students in each school and their spatial distribution, slope, access to road, power access, drinking water access and telecommunication access. Finally, the integrated suitable sites model was developed to combine the restricted areas and suitable areas. The combination gives the final suitable sites for construction of new high schools. The finding of high school suitability sites of Amhara Region indicated that 235,903.67ha (2.1%), 2,551,599.57ha (22.3%), 7,518,477.63ha (65.8), 1,127,206.72ha (9.9%) of the areas of the Region were least suitable, marginally suitable, moderately suitable and highly suitable respectively. Finally, prioritization was done by clustering the primary schools according to the number of students, nearness to each other and considering geographical barriers. In general, about 902 school sites were selected and prioritized for the construction of new high schools in the coming 10 years. In connection, a 10-year road-map plan was prepared so as to achieve a reasonable high school coverage in Amhara region.

Skilled labour shortage: a qualitative study of Ghana’s training and apprenticeship system - Ayentimi, Desmond Tutu; Burgess, John; Dayaram, Kantha (Human Resource Development International, 2018)
The impacts of training and apprenticeship education towards building high-level technical and vocational skills that support human capital development and attracting foreign direct investment are being reshaped by global competition. This article draws on human capital theory to report on a qualitative study that explores skilled labour challenges within Ghana’s training and apprenticeship system through the lens of the demand side of employment perspective. The ﬁndings point to a training mismatch, lack of regulations and ineﬀective apprenticeship programmes, underinvestment in education and training, and outdated training programmes. The bottlenecks in the supply of skilled labour in Ghana are hampering the ﬁrms’ ability to ﬁnd skilled labour across industries. We suggest improved social partnership between industries and training institutions, with increased government investment in training and apprenticeship programmes, as a way forward to address the technical and vocational skilled labour supply bottlenecks. Wider implications for the African region which shares similar developing contexts are discussed.

The Effects of Authentic Learning Practices on Problem-Solving Skills and Attitude towards Science Courses - Aynas, Naciye; Aslan, Mecit (Journal of Learning for Development, 2021)
This study aims to investigate the effects of authentic learning methods — applied in science courses — on the problem-solving skills and attitudes towards those courses. As a research design, a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test control groups was used in the study. The data of the study were collected from 92 students at the level of 6th grade in Van, Turkey in the 2017-2018 academic year. As data collection tools, the Problem-Solving Skills Test and Science Attitude Scale were used throughout the study. During the data analysis phase, descriptive statistics, one-factor analysis of variance for unrelated samples, t-test for related samples, Kruskal Wallis-H and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test were used. As a result of the study, it was realised that there was a significant difference between the experimental group and control groups' problem-solving skills total scores in favour of the experimental group. Furthermore, it was ascertained that authentic learning practices improved the problem-solving skills of the experimental group students to a significant extent. In terms of attitude points towards science, it was determined that the post-test scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than the control groups and authentic learning practices had a positive effect on attitude.

Beyond COVID-19 supernova. Is another education coming? - Azorín, Cecilia (Journal of Professional Capital and Community, 2020)
Purpose This article explores social and educational responses to COVID-19 as seen through the lens of the Spanish education, in which professional capital and community is at the epicenter of the fight against the pandemic. Design/methodology/approach This is a reflective and forward-thinking piece in which educators are presented as first responders to the crisis. The article is structured in four parts. First, the opportunities and barriers that COVID-19 is encountering in 21st-century education are commented on. Second, there is recognition of the need to be connected more than ever; and the vital role of networks. Third, the article discusses the effort to realize the maxim “not to leave anyone behind.” Fourth, the last section summarizes the key points related to the aspects to which education should devote its efforts in the coming months and years in Spain. Findings There is a set of reasons why the Spanish education system is extremely vulnerable to the consequences caused by COVID-19, and these include, among others: the high rates of socioeconomic segregation, of school dropouts and of academic failure; poor culture of networking and collaboration; overcrowded classrooms that hinders quality education; an obsolete curriculum; the consideration of education as a political currency; the need to strengthen bimodal education; and teachers' obligation to update their digital competences. Originality/value The article questions whether another education is possible beyond the pandemic and promotes a deep reflection in this particular context for practitioners and policymakers on which topics more attention could be focused during this time of turmoil.

Acht gängige Temperatur- und Luftfeuchtesensoren im Vergleichstest - Bablok, Bernhard (Raspberry Pi Geek)
Wer viel misst, misst Mist. Gute Sensor-Breakouts sollten jedoch keine Fantasiewerte ausspucken. Wir testen acht Vertreter der Gattung. Die Verkabelung eines Sensors und das zyklische Auslesen der Werte gelingt leicht. Vermutlich hat Sie dabei schon einmal das Gefühl beschlichen, dass die merkwürdig hohen Zahlen nicht stimmen. Ein Zweitgerät macht die Verwirrung perfekt, denn Abweichungen von zwei Grad kommen durchaus vor. Schnell keimt dann der Verdacht auf, es mit einem schlechten Exemplar oder Billigware zu tun zu haben. Da fragt man sich, ob die mysteriös hohen Messwerte an schwachen Produkten liegen oder die Datenblätter nicht stimmen. Beiden Verdachtsmomenten gehen wir nach und versuchen ein paar Empfehlungen zu geben. Acht gängige Sensorbausteine in bis zu vier Exemplaren müssen sich dem Test stellen (Abbildung 1). Der Großteil davon stammt von Berrybase oder Pimoroni und befand sich teilweise schon länger in der Bastelkiste. Die Tabelle “Testkandidaten” gibt einen Überblick über Ausstattung, technische Werte und Preise. Neben der Temperatur messen viele der Sensoren die Luftfeuchte, die Bosch-Sensoren ermitteln zudem den Luftdruck. Der BMP280 kostet sehr wenig, was vermuten lässt, dass es sich um einen Billig-Klon handelt. Ein Exot in der Kandidatenliste ist der DS18B20: Er hat keine I2C-Schnittstelle und kommt nicht als Breakout, sondern als IC im TO-92-Format. Der Anschluss erfolgt per 1-Wire-Protokoll. Bei Tests wären viele Exemplare pro Produkt wünschenswert, was aus Kosten- und Zeitgründen nicht infrage kam. Wir schickten aber immer mindestens zwei Exemplare ins Rennen, mit Ausnahme des teuersten Sensors SHT45. Zudem decken die Produkte nicht alle Anwendungsszenarien ab. Möchten Sie etwa einen eigenen Lötofen bauen, brauchen Sie einen Sensor mit einem ganz anderen Temperaturbereich. An der Unterseite der Temperaturskala ist bei unserer Auswahl spätestens bei -40 Grad Celsius Schluss. Genauigkeit und Präzision In den Datenblättern tauchen die beiden Begriffe Genauigkeit und Präzision auf – hier besteht Verwechslungsgefahr. Die Genauigkeit bezeichnet die typische Differenz zum wahren Wert. Die Präzision informiert darüber, wie stark wiederholte Messungen desselben Werts schwanken. Die Werte in den Datenblättern lassen sich nur schwer vergleichen, da sie die Genauigkeit meist in den zwei Ausprägungen “typisch” und “maximal” angeben. Oft verwenden die Anbieter zusätzlich Grafiken. Allerdings sind diese Kurven ohne Zusatzinformationen unvollständig und lassen Interpretationsspielraum. Weder […]

Preparing teacher education students to integrate mobile learning into elementary education - Bai, Hua (TechTrends, 2019)
The wide adoption of mobile technology has greatly influenced K-12 education. In teacher education programs, it is necessary for educators to train teacher education students to use mobile technology for educational purpose. This paper reports an exploratory effort in preparing elementary education students for mobile learning. The participants’ perceptions of mobile learning and intended use of mobile technology were examined through the analyses of their online discussion posts, responses to survey items and their projects. Their perceived benefits of mobile learning, limitations of mobile technology, their intended implementation of mobile learning and the challenges they anticipated were reported. Implications and recommendations were discussed regarding the knowledge of mobile apps, pedagogical practices and some non-instructional issues.

Search Engine Overlaps : Do they agree or disagree? - Bailey, J.; Zhang, C.; Budgen, D.; Turner, M.; Charters, S. (Second International Workshop on Realising Evidence-Based Software Engineering (REBSE '07), 2007)
Secondary studies, such as systematic literature reviews and mapping studies, are an essential element of the evidence-based paradigm. A critical part of the review process is the identification of all relevant research. As such, any researcher intending to conduct a secondary review should be aware of the strengths and weakness of the search engines available. Analyse the overlap between search engine results for software engineering studies. Three independent studies were conducted to evaluate the overlap between multiple search engines for different search areas. The findings indicate that very little overlap was found between the search engines. To complete a systematic review, researchers must use multiple search terms and search engines. The lack of overlap might also be caused by inconsistent keyword selection amongst authors.

E-Learning for Teacher Training in Tanzania - Baker, D; Bliss, A; Chung, R (2013)
Rural Tanzania is struggling to provide an adequate number of qualified teachers to keep up with increased primary and secondary school enrollment rates. Teachers enter classrooms with minimal teaching experience and education, sometimes having never studied the subject they are teaching. As a result of this under-qualification, teachers struggle in critical topics such as math, science, and English, exacerbating the trend of low academic performance. A lack of well-qualified teachers means the country is producing students whose education is cut short, as they are not passing national exams for graduation. This result is a great disappointment and an unacceptable outcome for students who represent years of investment and hope for the future. Primary and secondary school teachers must have sufficient knowledge and skills in the classroom. Teacher training will need to employ a variety of tools, among them education of and with Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs). This project has two components. First, it provides a landscape review of national and international policies and initiatives that affect education in Tanzania, clarifying how Asante Africa’s programs can best fit into the country’s established systems. Second, it identifies best practices for using e-learning ICTs to train teachers and improve the country’s education system. The report identifies four prospective e-learning models, and recommends that Asante Africa consider aspects of two: mobile learning and massive open online courses (MOOCs). Through our model evaluation, we found that these two models ranked best for Tanzania in effectiveness, cost, rural feasibility, scalability, and sustainability. Once a delivery method is in place and Asante Africa ensures technical support for the teachers utilizing the training materials, Asante Africa can strategize a plan for content and curriculum that leverages its Khan Academy videos. By implementing the recommended ICTs for learning and teacher training, Asante Africa will deliver increased access of quality training to teachers in the rural districts of Tanzania, improving the academic environment and performance of students throughout the country.

Framing Open Educational Practices from a Social Justice Perspective - Bali, Maha; Cronin, Catherine; Jhangiani, Rajiv S. (Journal of Interactive Media in Education, 2020)
OEP (open educational practices), inclusive of open pedagogy, is often understood with respect to the use of OER (open educational resources) but can be conceived with more expansive conceptualisations (see Cronin & McLaren 2018; DeRosa & Jhangiani 2017; Koseoglu & Bozkurt 2018). This article attempts to build on existing OEP research and practice in two ways. First, we provide a typology of OEP, giving examples of practices across a continuum of openness and along three axes: from content-centric to process-centric, teacher-centric to learner-centric, and practices that are primarily for pedagogical purposes to primarily for social justice (Bali 2017). Second, we employ Hodgkinson-Williams and Trotter’s (2018) conceptual framework, which builds on Fraser’s model of social justice, to critically analyse the ways in which the use/impact of OEP might be considered socially just, with a particular focus on expansive, process-centric OEP. We analyze for whom and in which contexts OEP can (i) support social justice along economic, cultural and political dimensions, and (ii) do so in transformative, ameliorative, neutral or even negative ways. We use the typology and framework to analyse specific process-centric forms of OEP including collaborative annotation, Wikipedia editing, open networked courses, Virtually Connecting, public scholarship, and learner-created OER. Analysing specific practices highlights diversity across the axes and subtle differences among them, such as when a particular practice is considered good pedagogy and how it can be modified to be more oriented towards social justice. We discuss limitations of each practice not just from its discourse and design, but also how it works in practice.

Mapping Non-formal Education at Post-primary Educational Level in Uganda - Bananuka, T; Katahoire, AR (2008)
1. This paper explores various cases of non-formal education at post-primary education level in Uganda with special focus on the analysis of the context of NFE provision and the curriculum. Other issues explored included educator training, materials development, teaching and learning methods, policy development and implementation, the relationship with formal education, linkages with work and employment and issues of sustainability and continuity. 2. The study findings suggest that Non-formal Education at post-primary education level is run on a rather ad hoc basis without clearly defined structures save for the recent initiatives in Community Polytechnics. Much as various policy documents and statements advocate for the integration of Non-Formal Education into the PPE level and the education system as a whole, the policy statements lack proper follow up and coherence. This is a contrast to government’s commitment to international protocols and proclamations on EFA – a position that would have seen NFE clearly streamlined in the entire education system. 3. Despite the lack of a policy framework to direct Non-Formal Education at PPE level, a number of advancements in terms of policies have been made. These include the draft Education Bill for educationally disadvantaged children at primary level and the adoption of a modularized curriculum for Community Polytechnics. These advancements however have not come easy as government has over time backtracked on the issue of Non-Formal Education particularly at PPE level. 4. Notable challenges still facing Non-Formal Education in Uganda include lack of specialized training for trainers, limited funding for the education sector which renders NFE a none priority and lack of policy framework to regulate and inform NFE as an alternative route to PPE in the country among others.

The Economic Lives of Young Women in the Time of Ebola : Lessons from an Empowerment Program - Bandiera, Oriana; Buehren, Niklas; Goldstein, Markus P.; Rasul, Imran; Smurra, Andrea (The World Bank, 2019)
This paper evaluates an intervention to raise young women's economic empowerment in Sierra Leone, where women frequently experience sexual violence and face multiple economic disadvantages. The intervention provides them with a protective space (a club) where they can find support, receive information on health and reproductive issues, and vocational training. Unexpectedly, the post-baseline period coincided with the 2014 Ebola outbreak. The analysis leverages quasi-random across-village variation in the severity of Ebola-related disruption, and random assignment of villages to the intervention to document the impact of the Ebola outbreak on the economic lives of 4,700 women tracked over the crisis, and any ameliorating role played by the intervention. In highly disrupted control villages, the crisis leads younger girls to spend significantly more time with men, out-of-wedlock pregnancies rise, and as a result, they experience a persistent 16 percentage points drop in school enrolment post-crisis. These adverse effects are almost entirely reversed in treated villages because the intervention enables young girls to allocate time away from men, preventing out-of-wedlock pregnancies and enabling them to re-enrol in school post-crisis. In treated villages, the unavailability of young women leads some older girls to use transactional sex as a coping strategy. The intervention causes them to increase contraceptive use so this does not translate into higher fertility. The analysis pinpoints the mechanisms through which the severity of the aggregate shock impacts the economic lives of young women and shows how interventions in times of crisis can interlink outcomes across younger and older cohorts.

Perceived Self-Efficacy in Cognitive Development and Functioning - Bandura, Albert (Educational Psychologist, 1993)
In this article, I review the diverse ways in which perceived self-efficacy contributes to cognitive development and functioning. Perceived self-efficacy exerts its influence through four major processes. They include cognitive, motivational, affective, and selection processes. There are three different levels at which perceived self-efficacy operates as an important contributor to academic development. Students' beliefs in their efficacy to regulate their own learning and to master academic activities determine their aspirations, level of motivation, and academic accomplishments. Teachers' beliefs in their personal efficacy to motivate and promote learning affect the types of learning environments they create and the level of academic progress their students achieve. Faculties' beliefs in their collective instructional efficacy contribute significantly to their schools' level of academic achievement. Student body characteristics influence school-level achievement more strongly by altering faculties' beliefs in their collective efficacy than through direct affects on school achievement.

From Proof of Concept to Scalable Policies: Challenges and Solutions, with an Application - Banerjee, Abhijit; Banerji, Rukmini; Berry, James; Duflo, Esther; Kannan, Harini; Mukerji, Shobhini; Shotland, Marc; Walton, Michael (Journal of Economic Perspectives, 2017)
The promise of randomized controlled trials is that evidence gathered through the evaluation of a specific program helps us—possibly after several rounds of fine-tuning and multiple replications in different contexts—to inform policy. However, critics have pointed out that a potential constraint in this agenda is that results from small "proof-of-concept" studies run by nongovernment organizations may not apply to policies that can be implemented by governments on a large scale. After discussing the potential issues, this paper describes the journey from the original concept to the design and evaluation of scalable policy. We do so by evaluating a series of strategies that aim to integrate the nongovernment organization Pratham's "Teaching at the Right Level" methodology into elementary schools in India. The methodology consists of reorganizing instruction based on children's actual learning levels, rather than on a prescribed syllabus, and has previously been shown to be very effective when properly implemented. We present evidence from randomized controlled trials involving some designs that failed to produce impacts within the regular schooling system but still helped shape subsequent versions of the program. As a result of this process, two versions of the programs were developed that successfully raised children's learning levels using scalable models in government schools. We use this example to draw general lessons about using randomized control trials to design scalable policies.

Mainstreaming an Effective Intervention: Evidence from Randomized Evaluations of “Teaching at the Right Level” in India - Banerjee, Abhijit; Banerji, Rukmini; Berry, James; Duflo, Esther; Kannan, Harini; Mukherji, Shobhini; Shotland, Marc; Walton, Michael (National Bureau of Economic Research, 2016)
Previous randomized studies have shown that addressing children’s current learning gaps, rather than following an over-ambitious uniform curriculum, can lead to significant learning gains. In this study, we evaluate a series of efforts to scale up the NGO Pratham’s approach to teaching children according to their actual learning level, in four Indian States. While this approach was previously shown to be extremely effective when implemented with community volunteers outside of school, the objective of these new scale-up evaluations was to develop a model that could be implemented within the government school system. In the first two instances (Bihar and Uttarakhand), the methodology was not adopted by government schoolteachers, despite well-received training sessions and Pratham support. Motivated by the quantitative and qualitative analysis of these early attempts, we adapted the approach and designed large-scale experiments in the states of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh to test two new scale-up models. In Haryana, teachers received support from government resource persons trained by Pratham, and implemented the approach during a dedicated hour. In Uttar Pradesh, Pratham volunteers implemented high-intensity, short-burst “learning camps” for 40 days, in school and during school hours, with additional 10-day summer camps. Both models proved effective, with gains in language of 0.15 standard deviation in Haryana, and 0.70 standard deviations in Uttar Pradesh, on all students enrolled in these schools at baseline. These two models provide blueprints that can be replicated inside other government systems.

Remedying education: Evidence from Two randomized experiments in India - Banerjee, Abhijit; Cole, Shawn; Duflo, Esther; Linden, Leigh L (NBER, 2005)
Many efforts to improve school quality by adding school resources have proven to be ineffective. This paper presents the results of two experiments conducted in Mumbai and Vadodara, India, designed to evaluate waysto improve the quality of education in urban slums. A remedial education program hired young women from the community to teach basic literacy and numeracy skills to children lagging behind in government schools. We find the program to be very effective: it increased average test scores of all children in treatment schools by 0.14 standard deviations in the first year, and 0.28 in the second year, relative to comparison schools. A computer-assisted learning program provided each child in the fourth grade with two hours of shared computer time per week, in which students played educational games that reinforced mathematics skills. The program was also very effective, increasing math scores by 0.35 standard deviations the first year, and 0.47 the second year. These results were not limited to the period in which students received assistance, but persisted for at least one year afterleaving the program. Two instrumental variable strategies suggest that while remedial education benefited the children who attended the remedial classes, their classmates, who did not attend the remedial courses but did experience smaller classes, did not post gains, confirming that resources alone may not be sufficient to improve outcomes.

Improving literacy and math instruction at scale in India’s primary schools: The case of Pratham’s Read India program - Banerji, Rukmini; Chavan, Madhav (Journal of Educational Change, 2016)
Pratham’s “Read India” initiative is a large-scale intervention to improve basic learning and arithmetic among children in primary school. It was started almost 10 years ago and has evolved considerably over time. Currently, this initiative uses two strategies. The first strategy is to work directly with village communities and local schools to improve children’s learning. “Learning camps” are organized in the local school or community for a period of 6–10 days at a time. Local village volunteers help to teach children who are organized in groups by their level of learning. These camps—intensive bursts of focused instruction—are repeated several times during the year. This model which has been rigourously evaluated shows that children’s learning levels improve significantly. The second strategy is to work with the government. This approach is used when school systems want to partner or collaborate with Pratham for improving basic learning. The key element here too is grouping children and teaching them from their level rather than by their grade. This approach also shows promising results. Independent evaluations and randomized control trials conducted on both models have indicated significant impact. Moving between the present set of conditions in India and past lessons, this case describes a decade-long journey of efforts to change teaching and learning at the ground level as well the efforts to bring about significant shifts in priority at the system level. The “Read India” case presented here contributes knowledge on strategies under which effective pedagogy can be brought to scale. It also discusses challenges of transforming instructional change in a context of low initial capacity at the school and system levels, where attention to rapid expansion of access to school had kept aside for a long time critical questions about teaching quality and learning outcomes. A second contribution of “Read India” to current knowledge on large-scale educational change relates to the role non-government actors such as Pratham can play in bringing effective pedagogy to scale to improve student learning.
