Governance and Change in Educational Policy Systems in Technical Vocational Education - Oluwafemi, CO; Martins, OR; Adebiaye, HO (2015)
From time immemorial, people have been controlled (ruled) by others in order to maintain law and order. This process is what is called governance. Governance is the act of exercising power and making decisions for a group of people by a selected few granted the authority to do so. Different human era called for different ‘curricular’ of teaching since it is believed that the needs of the society are one of the major determinants of the content of the curriculum. The authorities at each of such times only help to articulate the curriculum and provide the environment for teaching and learning to take place. In this pursuit, the Nigerian government has not been an exception. Over the years, the Governments have brought in one change or the other to the educational sector all with the utmost aim of making the nation better through her educational processes. This paper through the methodology of literature review and the authors’ observations focuses on some of the changes brought into the sector particularly in Technical Vocational Education. It looked at how these changes have benefited or otherwise affected the country and makes suggestions based on the findings.

Re-Integrating Vocational Technical Skill Acquisition into the Educational Curriculum: Capacity Building for Future Professionals - Olukanni, David O.; Aderonmu, Peter A.; Ogbiye, Adebanji S.; Akinwumi, Isaac I.; Chova, LG; Martinez, AL; Torres, IC (ICERI 2014, 2014)
One of the observable problems facing most developing nations today is the non-availability of adequately trained and well-motivated professionals with the capacity to solving problems of national development. Many University graduate professionals complain of unemployment. However, there exist substantial employment opportunities in Africa and other developing nations but the major challenge being that, the skills to match up with imminent challenges are missing. There is, therefore a need to re-integrate vocational technical skill acquisition into the Educational Curriculum for young professionals with proper mental orientation and practical skills for solving societal problems. This paper underlined the necessity of re-integrating vocational technical education (VTE) courses with special targets on sustainability and capacity building aspect of citizenry lives with a view to ascertain the empowerment of students for self employment after graduation. In a bid to achieve this, the current pedagogical approach and curriculum dynamics employed at the Architecture and Civil Engineering Department of Covenant University Ota, Nigeria was evaluated. Specific reference was made in terms of knowledge application from fabrication, construction in timber, reinforced concrete and steel to the main architectural design project. As regards the capacity building development aspect within the architectural and civil engineering education, the application of the respective vocational technical knowledge, obtained through lectures, site works and work shop practices were of major essence in collaborative design projects. It is expected that the indispensability of VTE courses for a successfully-integrated design would bind every element of the design together in different scales. In this way, the sustainability component of the designs in the studio, engineering workshop practice and energy-efficient design would be put to use. The study recommended the investigation and application of all critical elements of VTE-based curriculum development for a sustainable capacity development of emerging future professionals.

A Framework For Evaluating The Outcome Of Use Of ICTOn Early Grade Literacy Assessment; A Case Study Of Tusome Literacy Programme In Kenya - Olubendi, Doreen (University of Nairobi, 2019)
Previous research work in the field of education has highlighted how information and communication technology plays an integral role in deepening and accelerating learning. Little has been done focusing on its adoption among public schools in Kenya. Systematic use of mobile devices and other information and communication technologies to assess early grade literacy and numeracy, especially in developing countries, remains limited to date. The purpose of this study is to develop a framework for evaluating the outcomes of ICT use on early grade literacy assessment. The focus of this study is on Tusome Literacy program, which is a USAID funded program of over five years, which has been adopted by the Kenyan Government. Education officials under Ministry of Education are equipped with tablets that have pre-installed software to be used for continuous assessment of Curriculum Support Officers, teachers and learners in early grade literacy in public primary schools. The specific objectives are: the relationship between the ICT infrastructure and the level of use of the assessment tool; the relationship between the ICT skills of the Curriculum Support Officer/County Director of Education and the level of use of the assessment tool; the relationship between the local support and the level of use of the assessment tool; the relationship between the level of use of the assessment tool and the frequency of the lessons observed; the relationship between the frequency of lessons observed and the literacy score of the learners. The design of this study is a survey research that was conducted in three counties in Kenya i.e Uasin Gishu, Bungoma and Busia counties. The sample size determination for the CSOs was equal to the population. The study targeted 30 CSOs and 2 County Directors from Bungoma, 14 CSOs and 2 County Directors from Busia; and 17 CSOs and 2 County Directors from Uasin Gishu. Questionnaires were used to collect data. The response rate was 89%. Analysis of the data was done by both descriptive statistics and inferential analysis. The study found out that the issuance of tablets with preloaded monitoring tools and applications to the CSOs and County Directors of Education enabled implementation and use of the ICT tools. The tablets had a source of internet connection so as to send the collected data to a central server. Continuous training and support of the CSOs on use of the ICT gadgets for classroom support was also key. Proper implementation resulted to increased frequency of CSOs visit to schools to iii continuously support teachers and assess teachers and learners using the ICT tools. Frequency of lessons observed and the implementation (use of the assessment tools) was significantly related as the OR=1.599, p=0.004. The study compared the literacy score and the ICT outcome (frequency of lessons observed by CSOs). The result showed that the ICT outcome significantly relates to the literacy score the with an odds ratio OR=9.531E-019, p=0.001. In conclusion, Tusome Literacy Programme has enabled improved literacy on early grade learners through use of ICT tools to monitor and support teachers and continuous assessment of learners in the early grade. A recommendation for further research is the integration of the ICT monitoring tool (Tangerine:Tutor) with other Ministry of Education systems such as The National Education Management Information System (NEMIS). The integrated data and information would enable better use for decision-making and formulation of transparent and accountable policies within the education sector in Kenya.

(arXiv:2003.12347 [cs], 2020)
This paper describes how mobile phone data can guide government and public health authorities in determining the best course of action to control the COVID-19 pandemic and in assessing the effectiveness of control measures such as physical distancing. It identifies key gaps and reasons why this kind of data is only scarcely used, although their value in similar epidemics has proven in a number of use cases. It presents ways to overcome these gaps and key recommendations for urgent action, most notably the establishment of mixed expert groups on national and regional level, and the inclusion and support of governments and public authorities early on. It is authored by a group of experienced data scientists, epidemiologists, demographers and representatives of mobile network operators who jointly put their work at the service of the global effort to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

Constraints and strategies for effective use of social networking sites (snss) for collaborative learning in tertiary institutions in nigeria: perception of tvet lecturers - Olelewe, Chijioke Jonathan; Orji, Chibueze Tobias; Osinem, Emmanuel C.; Rose-Keziah, Ikemelu Chinelo (Education and Information Technologies, 2019)
© 2019, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature. The popularity of using social networking sites (SNSs) as an educational tool is increasing every day. Many educators are now trying to integrate these online teaching platforms that were provided by commercial services such as Google, LinkedIn and Facebook into learning environment. Despite the importance of SNSs, a lot of constraints seem to hinder its effective use for collaborative learning in Nigeria by TVET lecturers. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to ascertain the perception of TVET lecturers on the constraints and possible strategies to effective use of SNSs for collaborative learning in tertiary institutions in Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive design. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 128 TVET lecturers purposively drawn from the four tertiary institutions in Enugu State that offers vocational and technical education programme. Mean, standard deviation, exploratory factor analysis and t-test statistics were used in realizing the objectives. The finding of the study showed among others that, 13 SNSs were commonly used by TVET lecturers, 13 major constraints hinder effective use of SNSs for collaborative learning by TVET lecturers, while 10 strategies were proffered to promote the effective use of SNSs for collaborative learning. This paper therefore calls for continuous professional development (CPD) of TVET lecturers particularly to enable them acquire the needed soft skills required for effective utilization of SNSs in their teaching practices.

PV-Solar Power Generation in Educational Institutions - Oleiwi, Fadhil Mahmood; Kasim, Naseer K.; Atwan, Ahmed F. (Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2021)
The PV solar system on the rooftop of buildings is a good source of renewable electric energy. Iraq has very large number of educational institutions with large non-invested rooftop with shortage of electrical energy supply. The present work aims at construction a simulation for PV-System action installed on rooftop of educational institutions in Baghdad using Green Power Solution (GPS) and PV-Syst programs. Based on the surface area of the schools’ roofs, the GPS program estimated three main PV-Systems which can be carried out, 63kW, 50kW, and 30kW in order to supply the electric power to selected school. Due to allocating few hours for school’s studying time along the year, the suitable PV-System is on-grid connection. The results indicated that the annual system performance ratio is 81.9% and the annual output power of these systems were 111.0 MWh/year, 88 MWh/year and 51.4 MWh/year respectively, 19.3MWh/year of them was consumed for this school and the rest is a feedback for grid. This green generation reduced the amount of emission CO2 by 73.981 tons, 62.216 tons and 36.3398 tons per year for systems 63kW, 50kW and 30kW respectively. The results also appear that the initial capital cost of each system can be recovered during the first six years of system operation.

The Need for Context-specificity in Global Educational Policy Transfer by Non-state Actors: The Case of" Teach for All" to" Teach for India - OLANREWAJU, GIDEON SEUN (2021)

Availability, Access and Utilization of E-Resources among Pre-Service Teacher Trainees by Distance - Olaniran, Sunday O.; Duma, M. A. N.; Nzima, D. R.; Kumar, V; Murthy, S; Kinshuk (IEEE 8TH International Conference on Technology for Education, 2016)
The study investigated accessibility to and utilization of electronic resources among pre-service teachers in the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN). Survey research design was used to carry out the study. Two hundred and thirty eighty (238) undergraduate students studying to obtain Bachelor of Education (B. Ed.) by distance were purposively sampled from Ibadan Study Centre of the institution. The results from the survey revealed that electronic resources in different forms like radio broadcast, e-journals, e-books, and CD-ROM, among others, are available and accessible to the pre-service teacher trainees by distance. However, limited internet connectivity and inadequate access to electricity were shown as major factors constraining most of the participants from accessing and utilizing the available electronic resources. The study recommends for the distance learning providers in developing nations to partner with telecommunication firms and internet service providers with a view to providing constant and affordable internet services to their learners, especially those that are studying to become classroom teachers.

A Rapid Review of Impact Assessment of Climate Change on Health and Mental Well-Being in Africa - Oladimeji, Kelechi Elizabeth; Zungu, Lindiwe; Chocko, Ronnie; Hyera, Francis Leonard Mpotte; Nyatela, Athini; Gumede, Siphamandla; Dwarka, Depika; Lalla-Edward, Samanta Tresha (New Voices in Psychology, 2023)
Despite widespread global attention, the potential threats to human health posed by climate change in Africa still need to be further understood. Although there is mounting concern that climate change is a serious risk to human health, less evidence shows a direct causal relationship between climate change and health risks in Africa. In this rapid review, we discuss our synthesis of available evidence on the health implications of climate change with a focus on Africa. PubMed was systematically searched for relevant articles from 2020 to 2023 using a search strategy. Only eligible articles published in the English language with full article access were included for review using the population concept context (PCC) criteria by Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). After removing duplicates, the selection process began with title and abstract screening, followed by screening full-text articles. Of the 3272 articles retrieved, only 10 were eligible for synthesis. We found mainly reported climate exposures to range from drought, concerning rainfall patterns, and increasing temperatures reported to cause morbidity and mortality through health risks: respiratory diseases, vector-borne diseases, cardiovascular diseases and mental health concerns. Africa still has a huge shortage of available evidence, particularly research focusing on the health implications, including mental health of climate change and interventions to prevent climate change-related health consequences. While the limited global evidence indicates that climate change results in an increased risk to public health, there are gaps in demonstrating the causal links between climate change and societal mental health impacts in Africa. There is also an urgent need for more research on effectively addressing climate hazards that threaten the African continent's public health and well-being.

Challenges and Prospects of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in Teaching Technical Education towards Globalisation - Olabiyi, OS (Effects of Information Capitalism and Globalization on Teaching and Learning, 2014)
The relevance of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the field of Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) cannot be overemphasised in the knowledge-based and globalised society. The world of works is in as continuous a state of change as ICT itself, thus posing more challenges to the workers in the 21st century and the institutions responsible for their preparation. Therefore, this chapter discusses the challenges and prospects of ICT in teaching TVE towards globalisation. The chapter points out clearly the meaning, philosophy, and objectives of TVET, concept and types of ICT, the need for effective utilisation of ICTs and its role in TVET, the challenges and solutions to the effective utilisation of ICTs in TVET, and the prospect of using ICT in teaching TVET. The chapter concludes by suggesting solutions for proper planning, management, and effective utilisation of ICTs resources in TVET.

Forging New Partnerships: Lessons from the Dissemination of Agricultural Training Videos in Benin - Okry, Florent; Van Mele, Paul; Houinsou, Felix (The Journal of Agricultural Education and Extension, 2014)
Purpose: This article evaluates the dissemination and use of rice training videos by radio stations, farmers, farmer associations and extension services in Benin. It pays attention to positive deviants and process innovation within a 'hands-off experiment'. Design/methodology/approach: Using questionnaires and checklists we interviewed leaders of radio stations, extension services of nine municipalities and organized focus discussions with 13 farmer associations. Interviews focused on the processes of video dissemination/acquirement and the use and usefulness of the video. Findings: The commercial radio of Glazoué developed persuasive adverts and sold most of the 240 VCDs to farmers and extension services, whereas the community radios distributed most VCDs free of charge. About 20% of all the VCDs were sold, suggesting that farmers are eager to invest in acquiring knowledge. Extension services acquired the rice videos in various ways, indicating the need to inject videos via multiple pathways into the agricultural innovation system. Watching the farmer-to-farmer videos during staff meetings gave extension agents more confidence to interact with farmers. Practical implications: Videos do not need to be distributed to all farmer associations in the same village, as dissemination may take place between different associations. Farmers appreciate watching videos with their families if they are available in their local language. When suitable language versions are not available, group viewing is more appropriate. Originality/value: The farmer-to-farmer rice videos have created a momentum in Benin and across Africa, especially in the current context of rapid changes in the agricultural systems. The newly established non-governmental organization Access Agriculture aims at further supporting video-mediated learning in developing countries. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

Private-Public Partnership and Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in a Developing Economy - Okoye, KRE; Chijioke, Okwelle P. (Arabian Journal of Business and Management Review (Oman Chapter); Sohar, 2013)
Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) system is widely recognised as education system expected to produce a competent workforce who can compete and excel in a rapidly changing environment and improves a country's economy. That TVET system in Nigeria and many other countries are in crisis or in immediate need for intervention, are often heard. Private Public Partnership (PPP) is viewed as an alternative strategy put forward to address the challenges confronting this all-important education system. Therefore, this paper attempts to add to the available literature on PPP in TVET by examining; conceptualizing PPP and its relative importance in economic growth, revamping TVET for technological advancement and economic growth in Nigeria through PPP collaboration. Constraints on TVET as a measure for economic development in Nigeria were also highlighted. The paper concludes by recommending for a proper PPP involvement in TVET system in Nigeria to enhance its economic potentiality. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in Nigeria and energy development, marketing and national transformation - Okoye, KRE; Chijioke, Okwelle P. (Journal of Education and Practice, 2013)
Education is considered by many as an agent of human development, social mobility and socio-economic development of any society. However, it is arguable that the type and quality of education a nation offers to its citizens is a function of the level of progression of that nation. In this context, technical and vocational education and training (TVET) has been recognized as the wide-diversified education system instrumental in making the remarkable contribution to economic growth of a country by a way of suitable manpower production relevant to the needs of industry, society and changing technological work environment. This paper explores the TVET situation for Nigeria for its transformation agenda with highlights on such factors as trends on TVET policies for human resource development, capacity building, energy development and professional marketing in the national transformation agenda.

Improving graduate outcomes for technical colleges in Nigeria - Okolie, Ugochukwu C.; Igwe, Paul A.; Elom, Elisha N. (Australian Journal of Career Development, 2019)
© Australian Council for Educational Research 2019. This study examined key issues affecting the effective management of carpentry and joinery workshops for improving the quality of graduates of technical colleges in Nigeria. Drawing upon data collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 27 technical colleges teachers and 13 craft trainers, plus a focus group, this study adopts a mixed methods approach. The survey was conducted in technical colleges in Enugu and Ebonyi States of eastern Nigeria; hence, this study cuts across single geographical boundaries. The patterns of responses among respondents suggested that poor student academic performance result from lack of equipment, funding, and support for technical colleges by the government, whereas effective management of workshops promoted learning and student discipline. The study addressed issues for how workshop success can be promoted.

Towards in-service training needs of secondary school agriculture teachers in a paradigm shift to outcome-based education in Uganda - Okiror, J.J.; Hayward, Geoff; Winterbottom, M (The Journal of Agricultural Education and Extension, 2017)
This paper examines the in-service teacher training needs of secondary school agriculture teachers in Uganda as the country moves towards an ‘outcome-based’ education by removal of subjects and instead, uses learning areas, presenting a need for new pedagogical skills among teachers. Design/methodology/approach: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Uganda between June and September 2016 to assess the teaching methods and teacher training needs for secondary school agriculture curriculum. Data were collected from 80 agriculture teachers and 57 administrators from 60 secondary schools, randomly drawn from 25 districts in Uganda. The data were analysed with descriptive statistics. Findings: The findings show that there about 10 key competences required by the teachers to thrive in their profession. These range from traditional classroom teaching to community outreach and linkages with agribusinesses which is in tandem with outcome-based education beyond the classroom walls. Respondents highlight lack of practical agriculture skills and exposure to the modern farming practices. Theoretical implications: This paper examines role of formal in-service teacher training based on theory of change and proposes using professional learning communities for school-level improvements. Practical implication: The results were not significant enough to warrant strong recommendations. However, they suffice to highlight a growing need for in-service teacher support mechanism for a dynamic subject like agriculture using communities of practice at school and district levels. Originality/value: In the current context of growing concern for unemployment in Africa, secondary schools will require competent teachers to engage students into transferable learning, given that it is the terminal level of education for majority. © 2017 Wageningen University.

To vocationalise or not to vocationalise? Perspectives on current trends and issues in technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in Africa - Oketch, Moses O. (International Journal of Educational Development, 2007)
In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in the dichotomy of vocational education versus general education. This is more so as political pronouncements in many countries across the globe have taken on knowledge and skills as the key aim of the desire to improve access to education at all levels. Nowhere is this debate more tested, fiercely debated and gained controversy as in Africa. However, given recent developments in which knowledge and skills have become more acceptable terms in economically more developed nations, in which both are seen to go hand in hand, what is happening in Africa where development is highly sought but has proven to be more elusive? This has brought back to the forefront one of the dilemmas which has pre-occupied many African countries for a long time: whether to concentrate investment in general education or in vocational education. In this paper, I reflect on current trends and issues in TVET in Africa.

Cross-country comparison of TVET systems, practices and policies, and employability of youth in Sub-Saharan Africa - Oketch, Moses (2017)
In recent years, organisations such as the African Development Bank (AfDB), and several African governments have conceded that TVET may have a positive impact on harnessing the youth dividend. There has been some progress in some countries, but there is still insufficient understanding of the place of TVET and youth skills development. The criticisms of TVET in the past, and attitudes toward it, coupled with a period of neglect by governments and donors have all resulted in insufficient understanding of the positive effects TVET can have on the youth and on economic development compared to other regions of the world that have had clearly developed agenda for youth skills development through further colleges, community colleges, or apprenticeships.

Cross-country comparison of TVET systems, practices and policies, and employability of youth in sub-Saharan Africa - Oketch, M. O. (In: Eicker, F and Haseloff, G and Lennartz, B, (eds.) Vocational Education and Training in sub-Saharan Africa: Current situation and development. (pp. 25-38). W.Bertelsmann Verlag: Bielefeld, Germany. (2017), 2017)
In recent years, organisations such as the African Development Bank (AfDB), and several African governments have conceded that TVET may have a positive impact on harnessing the youth dividend. There has been some progress in some countries, but there is still insufficient understanding of the place of TVET and youth skills development. The criticisms of TVET in the past, and attitudes toward it, coupled with a period of neglect by governments and donors have all resulted in insufficient understanding of the positive effects TVET can have on the youth and on economic development compared to other regions of the world that have had clearly developed agenda for youth skills development through further colleges, community colleges, or apprenticeships. Nevertheless, there are signs of renewed interest and possible progress, and some countries have started to put in place innovative policies to strengthen Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) systems. But this progress is limited and hasn‘t been well researched and understood in comparison with other regions of the world. This is partly due to the past attitudes toward TVET, but may also result from limited understanding of the present positive role that TVET can play to harness youth dividend in the region. This paper aims to add to better and more research evidence on the role of TVET in youth skills development and employment in Africa using key economic and education highlights and the cases of Kenya, Ghana and Botswana by examining the policies and practices that characterize the TVET landscape across these Sub-Saharan African countries from a political economy approach.

Parental aspirations for their children’s educational attainment and the realisation of universal primary education (UPE) in Kenya: Evidence from slum and non-slum residences - Oketch, Mutisya, M., Sagwe, J., , M. (2012)
There is a sound research base attesting to the importance of parental involvement and to the many potential benefits it can offer for children's education. This study sought to examine differences in parental aspirations (as a mechanism of parental involvement in their children's education) for their children's educational attainment between slum and non-slum residing parents in Kenya. The study used cross-sectional household data for a sample of 4065 parents, collected in 2007 by the African Population and Health Research Centre (APHRC) in Nairobi. A multinomial logistic model was used for the analysis to explore the factors determining parental aspirations. The results indicate the following: (i) that parents who live in the slums have lower aspirations for their children's educational attainment when compared to those who live in non-slum areas; (ii) that parents in the slums have aspirations for higher levels of educational attainment for their children than their own levels of education. We conclude that parents in urban Kenya have a strong belief in the education of their children irrespective of their slum or non-slum residence but aspirations are higher in non-slums than in slums. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Inclusion of pupils with intellectual disabilities: primary school teachers' attitudes and willingness in a rural area in Uganda - Ojok, Patrick; Wormnæs, Siri (International Journal of Inclusive Education, 2013)
Teachers in regular schools have a responsibility to accommodate the needs and interests of all learners. The attitudes and willingness of teachers to include learners with intellectual disabilities in their classes in regular schools in a district with a semi-nomadic pastoral population in north-eastern Uganda was investigated. A survey of 125 school teachers was conducted, using an attitude scale and a willingness sub-scale. The results showed slightly more positive than negative attitudes, and more willingness than unwillingness to teach learners with intellectual disabilities. Attendance of workshops and seminars had a positive impact on teacher attitudes and willingness towards inclusive education. The findings are discussed with reference to historical–cultural characteristics of the district, as well as pupil and teacher characteristics.

Re-visioning Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) for the Youth in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Prospects and Promises Within the Framework of the Ubuntu Paradigm - Ogwo, Benjamin A. (Re-Visioning Education in Africa: Ubuntu-Inspired Education for Humanity, 2018)
Ogwo explains the concept of Ubuntu paradigm and analyses how its precepts could be adopted in designing and implementing technical vocational education and training (TVET) programmes that can enhance the attainment of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) in sub-Saharan African countries. The chapter adopts the conceptual approach of using the Ubuntu lens to re-vision technical vocational education and training (TVET), which is the fundamental means for technically acculturating the youth who will steer the sustainable development goals (SDGs) programmes towards eradicating poverty, enhancing food security, encouraging gender empowerment, improving quality of life, and sustainable progress of sub-Saharan Africa. It also examines Ubuntu-based soft skills, affective competencies, and ethical re-engineering of TVET programmes for environmentally friendly, justice-driven, people oriented and communally derived sustainable development of sub-Saharan Africa.

Linking informal apprenticeship and formal education in South-Eastern Nigeria through market/mechanic village schools - Ogwo, Benjamin (2013)
The Nigerian government as well as international agencies have implemented several informal apprenticeship intervention programmes aimed at improving productivity, trade union leadership and literacy/numeracy of practitioners. One of such interventions is the Education Trust Fund (ETF) intervention in boy-child education within south-eastern Nigeria established by UNICEF. This paper highlights the process, nature, and scope of the ETF intervention in relation to informal apprenticeships. As research meth9odology, the research & development (R&D) design was used for the study. Among other outcomes, the UNICEF market/mechanic village school curriculum was modified using open-learning principles by informal apprenticeship. School is taken to the apprentices rather than the apprentices to school by incorporating formal education into informal apprenticeship thus ensuring certification and enhanced social status for informal apprenticeship graduates.

The Context of Training Teachers to Implement a Socially Relevant Science Education in Africa - Ogunniyi, Meshach B. (African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2011)
The underlying assumption to this paper is that learners' ability to appreciate the relevance of school science and its importance to socio-economic development of their communities to a large extent depends on the quality of instruction they receive from their teachers. A popular conundrum is that no country is greater than the calibre of its teachers. However, a sort of Mathew's principle of the "haves" having more and the "have-nots" losing even what they do have tends to hold. Hence, learners of well-trained teachers tend to outperform those of poorly trained teachers on most tasks. A vivid example here in South Africa is the usual wide chasm between the matriculation results of learners from the former well-resourced Model C schools and those (with few exceptions due to massive support) from the previously disadvantaged schools. In pursuit of relevance many African political leaders and policy makers have called on teacher training institutions to produce teachers who are capable of making school science relevant to learners' home environment. This paper reports an attempt that has been made to equip teachers in such a way that makes science accessible, interesting and complementary to learners' indigenous knowledge and life worlds in general.

Revitalizing Technical and Vocational Education in Nigeria for Youths and National Development - Ogbondah, Livinus; Wobi, KK (Journal of Education and Practice, 2014)
Nigeria as a developing nation cannot but strive to meet with the fast speed of technological advancement and the challenges in a globalize world nowadays. If she must address the numerous technological and job challenges, the issue of technology, skills and vocation acquisition must be tackled with all sincerity in the country’s education system. Highly industrialized nations have at one time or the other identified technical and vocational education as a transformational and development key index policy trust for technological growth, economic performance and development in general. Technical and vocational education lays emphasis on learning, skills acquisition; job creation and development that would enable individual engaged in it adjust to the changes in the ever dynamic society of today. This paper therefore, tends to examine this aspect of education in the country’s education system and the need to revitalize it to promote the technological growth in particular and development in general. It suggests among others; adequate funding, improvement of the status of technical and vocational education and training of needed manpower to impart the requisite skills and competencies the youths required in the technology world of today.

Children in the digital environment: Revised typology of risks - OECD (OECD, 2021)
The digital environment has become an integral part of children’s everyday lives and interactions. The benefits can be tremendous, but there also risks. In 2011, the OECD adopted a Typology of Risks in an effort to broadly categorise those risks. Since then the digital environment has changed significantly, as risks have evolved in nature and new ones have emerged. This report informs the OECD’s broader work on children in the digital environment by examining these trends and presenting an updated Typology of Risks. The Typology provides a high-level overview of the risk landscape, and outlines four risk categories and their manifestations. The Typology also identifies and analyses risks that cut across these four risk categories, and that can therefore have wide-ranging effects on children’s lives.

Does having digital skills really pay off? - OECD (OECD, 2015)
Having the highest levels of skills in problem solving using ICT (information and communication technologies) increases chances of participating in the labour force by six percentage points compared with adults who have the lowest levels of these skills, even after accounting for various other factors, such as age, gender, level of education, literacy and numeracy proficiency, and use of e-mail at home. Adults without ICT experience are less likely to participate in the labour force; if they are employed, they earn less than adults with ICT experience, after accounting for various other factors. Experience in using ICT has a particularly large impact on participation in the labour force and earnings in Australia, England/Northern Ireland (UK) and the United States. Workers who use ICT frequently have substantially higher wages than those who do not use ICT often.

Sources, Format Preference and Challenges of Accessing TVET Information among the Engineering Students of the Federal Polytechnic Ede, Osun State, Nigeria - Odumade-Salako, Adepero Olajumoke; Federal Polytechnic Ilaro Library, Nigeria, Ogun State; Amusan, Blessing Babawale (Library Philosophy and Practice, 2019)
The study focused on sources, format preference and challenges faced by the engineering students of the Federal Polytechnic Ede, Osun State in accessing Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) information resources. The study adopted a survey method. Questionnaire was administered on a sample size of 379 students selected from the School of Engineering of the Federal Polytechnic, Ede, from a population of 7400 students through a stratified sampling technique. 306 sets of questionnaire were returned and valid for analysis, representing 80.74% return rate. The study discovered that personal collections, Internet and colleagues were the three most used sources of accessing TVET information among the students. Also majority of the respondents preferred TVET information sources in electronic format to print resources and reasons attributed to this include ability to interact with the source and search within texts; and round-the-clock, easy, cheap and remote accessibility. Also, the respondents experienced several challenges in accessing TVET information which include high cost of accessing information, poor attitudes of library staff and lack of awareness of TVET information sources. The study recommends among others that the Institution Library should reposition itself to be the first point of call for information among the students, and also acquire more eresources and improve accessibility to the resources. There is also the need to re-orientate the library staff, especially the front desk staff on staff-customer relations as well as teaching information literacy skills to the students to solve the problems associated with information retrieval.

Investigating Turkish pre-service teachers' perceptions of blogs: implications for the FATIH project - Ocak, Mehmet Akif; Gökçearslan, Sahin; Solmaz, Ebru (Contemporary Educational Technology, 2014)
This study aimed to investigate pre-service teachers' perceptions on the use of blogs regarding ICT integration in the FATIH project in Turkey. Participants were 174 pre-service teachers continuing their education. Data collection tool was a questionnaire which measured pre-service teachers' perceptions of the blogs. Questionnaire embodied some sub-categories of blog use such as learning, motivation, active participation, writing skills, group work, and critical thinking. Findings revealed that using blogs in classes affected learning and teaching process. The obtained results also showed that the blogs contributed to the recuperation of writing and critical thinking skills. These results indicated that students found social contributions of the blogs such as sharing information and interacting with peers. Based on the findings of study, appropriate conclusions and implications were addressed within the context of the FATIH project.

Action research and the transfer of reflective approaches to in-service education and training (INSET) for unqualified and underqualified primary teachers in Namibia - O’Sullivan, Margo C. (Teaching and Teacher Education, 2002)
The literature on training approaches for both pre-service and in-service teacher training has been dominated since the 1980s by reﬂective approaches. This has undoubtedly inﬂuenced the relatively recent introduction of reﬂective approaches in developing countries. This article explores efforts, within an action research study of a 3-year (1995–1997) In-service Education and Training (INSET) programme, to implement reﬂective approaches in the training of unqualiﬁed and underqualiﬁed primary teachers in Namibia. The study raises ‘transfer’ questions concerning the appropriateness of reﬂective approaches, as conceptualised in western contexts, for these teachers. It led to the adaptation of these approaches and ultimately the development of an approach termed the ‘structured reﬂection’ approach, which was within the professional capability of the teachers to implement at the time of the study. Action research was used to develop this approach. r 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Lesson observation and quality in primary education as contextual teaching and learning processes - O’Sullivan, Margo (International Journal of Educational Development, 2006)
Quality in primary education is currently high on the education agenda in developing countries. What is quality? How can we effectively measure it? How can we achieve it? How can we improve it? The author considers two suggestions to be critical to answering these above questions and engages with them in this article:• place what is happening in the school and classroom, specifically teaching and learning processes, at the top of the quality agenda; and • use lesson observation to answer the questions. The engagement in the article with the term “quality” highlights that six conceptualisations are used in the literature. However, the author argues that only two subsections of one of the conceptualisations are influencing policy, i.e. the input and output definitions of quality. An exploration of the common indicators of quality supports this and the author uses a political economy perspective to consider the reasons for it. This leads to the main section of the paper which seeks to explore the two suggestions bulleted above.

Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy - O'Neil, Cathy (Penguin UK, 2016)
'A manual for the 21st-century citizen... accessible, refreshingly critical, relevant and urgent' - Financial Times 'Fascinating and deeply disturbing' - Yuval Noah Harari, Guardian Books of the Year In this New York Times bestseller, Cathy O'Neil, one of the first champions of algorithmic accountability, sounds an alarm on the mathematical models that pervade modern life – and threaten to rip apart our social fabric.We live in the age of the algorithm. Increasingly, the decisions that affect our lives - where we go to school, whether we get a loan, how much we pay for insurance - are being made not by humans, but by mathematical models. In theory, this should lead to greater fairness: everyone is judged according to the same rules, and bias is eliminated. And yet, as Cathy O'Neil reveals in this urgent and necessary book, the opposite is true. The models being used today are opaque, unregulated, and incontestable, even when they're wrong. Most troubling, they reinforce discrimination. Tracing the arc of a person's life, O'Neil exposes the black box models that shape our future, both as individuals and as a society. These "weapons of math destruction" score teachers and students, sort CVs, grant or deny loans, evaluate workers, target voters, and monitor our health. O'Neil calls on modellers to take more responsibility for their algorithms and on policy makers to regulate their use. But in the end, it's up to us to become more savvy about the models that govern our lives. This important book empowers us to ask the tough questions, uncover the truth, and demand change.

Using text mining for study identification in systematic reviews: a systematic review of current approaches - O’Mara-Eves, Alison; Thomas, James; McNaught, John; Miwa, Makoto; Ananiadou, Sophia (Systematic Reviews, 2015)
The large and growing number of published studies, and their increasing rate of publication, makes the task of identifying relevant studies in an unbiased way for inclusion in systematic reviews both complex and time consuming. Text mining has been offered as a potential solution: through automating some of the screening process, reviewer time can be saved. The evidence base around the use of text mining for screening has not yet been pulled together systematically; this systematic review fills that research gap. Focusing mainly on non-technical issues, the review aims to increase awareness of the potential of these technologies and promote further collaborative research between the computer science and systematic review communities.

Using Machine Learning to Parameterize Moist Convection: Potential for Modeling of Climate, Climate Change, and Extreme Events - O'Gorman, Paul A.; Dwyer, John G. (Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2018)
Abstract The parameterization of moist convection contributes to uncertainty in climate modeling and numerical weather prediction. Machine learning (ML) can be used to learn new parameterizations directly from high‐resolution model output, but it remains poorly understood how such parameterizations behave when fully coupled in a general circulation model (GCM) and whether they are useful for simulations of climate change or extreme events. Here we focus on these issues using idealized tests in which an ML‐based parameterization is trained on output from a conventional parameterization and its performance is assessed in simulations with a GCM. We use an ensemble of decision trees (random forest) as the ML algorithm, and this has the advantage that it automatically ensures conservation of energy and nonnegativity of surface precipitation. The GCM with the ML convective parameterization runs stably and accurately captures important climate statistics including precipitation extremes without the need for special training on extremes. Climate change between a control climate and a warm climate is not captured if the ML parameterization is only trained on the control climate, but it is captured if the training includes samples from both climates. Remarkably, climate change is also captured when training only on the warm climate, and this is because the extratropics of the warm climate provides training samples for the tropics of the control climate. In addition to being potentially useful for the simulation of climate, we show that ML parameterizations can be interrogated to provide diagnostics of the interaction between convection and the large‐scale environment. , Plain Language Summary Small‐scale features such as clouds are typically represented in climate models by simplified physical models, and these simplified models introduce errors and uncertainties. A promising alternative approach is to use machine learning to train a statistical model to represent small‐scale processes based on output from expensive physics‐based models that better represent the small‐scale processes. Here we use idealized tests to explore the implications of incorporating a machine‐learning model of atmospheric convection in a climate model. We find that such an approach can give accurate simulations of mean climate and heavy rainfall events. The machine‐learning model does not work well for global warming if it is only trained on the current climate. However, it does work well for global warming if trained on both the current and warmer climates, and it works surprisingly well if only trained on the warmer climate. We also show that the machine‐learning model can be used to better understand the underlying physical processes. , Key Points Random‐forest parameterization of convection gives accurate GCM simulations of climate and precipitation extremes in idealized tests Climate change captured when trained on control and warm climate, or only on warm climate, but not when trained only on control climate Machine‐learning parameterizations can also be interrogated to generate diagnostics of interaction of convection with the environment

Moving toward the automation of the systematic review process: a summary of discussions at the second meeting of International Collaboration for the Automation of Systematic Reviews (ICASR) - O’Connor, Annette M.; Tsafnat, Guy; Gilbert, Stephen B.; Thayer, Kristina A.; Wolfe, Mary S. (Systematic Reviews, 2018)
The second meeting of the International Collaboration for Automation of Systematic Reviews (ICASR) was held 3–4 October 2016 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. ICASR is an interdisciplinary group whose aim is to maximize the use of technology for conducting rapid, accurate, and efficient systematic reviews of scientific evidence. Having automated tools for systematic review should enable more transparent and timely review, maximizing the potential for identifying and translating research findings to practical application. The meeting brought together multiple stakeholder groups including users of summarized research, methodologists who explore production processes and systematic review quality, and technologists such as software developers, statisticians, and vendors. This diversity of participants was intended to ensure effective communication with numerous stakeholders about progress toward automation of systematic reviews and stimulate discussion about potential solutions to identified challenges. The meeting highlighted challenges, both simple and complex, and raised awareness among participants about ongoing efforts by various stakeholders. An outcome of this forum was to identify several short-term projects that participants felt would advance the automation of tasks in the systematic review workflow including (1) fostering better understanding about available tools, (2) developing validated datasets for testing new tools, (3) determining a standard method to facilitate interoperability of tools such as through an application programming interface or API, and (4) establishing criteria to evaluate the quality of tools’ output. ICASR 2016 provided a beneficial forum to foster focused discussion about tool development and resources and reconfirm ICASR members’ commitment toward systematic reviews’ automation.

Entrepreneurship education in Ghana – the case of the KNUST entrepreneurship clinic - Nyadu-Addo, Ralph; Mensah, Mavis Serwah Benneh (Journal of Small Business and Enterprise Development, 2018)
© 2018, Emerald Publishing Limited. Purpose: Entrepreneurship education thrives on the pillars of experiential education. Using the case of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Ghana, the purpose of this paper is to examine the entrepreneurship clinic (EC) as a viable pedagogy for the promotion of experiential education in entrepreneurship. Design/methodology/approach: The paper relies on insider action research to analyse, within Joplin’s five-step model, the case of the EC at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Ghana. Findings: The analysis showed that the KNUST clinic comprises five main activities including preparation, orientation, selection and matching, coaching and monitoring and evaluation. In relation to Joplin’s five-step model, the first three stages of the clinic provide focus for the clinic while the remaining two stages – coaching and monitoring and evaluation – entail activities that are geared towards action, support, feedback and debrief. Through the clinic, thousands of tertiary students have been trained in entrepreneurship and new venture creation; some selected participants have been coached while others have had the opportunity to qualify for business incubation. Research limitations/implications: Although the paper discusses some achievements of the clinic in relation to enrolment and fundraising, it does not assess the impact of the clinic on the entrepreneurial competencies, intentions and initiatives of participants, hence, these issues are recommended for future research. Practical implications: The paper demonstrates that it is feasible to implement the EC methodology, irrespective of the cost and time implications that are often associated with experiential educational methodologies. However, support from university management, funding raising from internal and external sources and technical support from industry and government agencies are key to the sustainability of clinics. Originality/value: The paper adds novelty to the entrepreneurship education literature by bringing to the fore how a university in an emerging African economy is implementing and managing the EC pedagogy.

Enriching the scholarly metadata commons with citation metadata and spatio-temporal metadata to support responsible research assessment and research discovery - Nüst, Daniel; Yücel, Gazi; Cordts, Anette; Hauschke, Christian (2023)
In this article, we focus on the importance of open research information as the foundation for transparent and responsible research assessment and discovery of research outputs. We introduce work in which we support the open research information commons by enabling, in particular, independent and small Open Access journals to provide metadata to several open data hubs (Open Citations, Wikidata, Open Research Knowledge Graph). In this context, we present The OPTIMETA Way, a means to integrate metadata collection, enrichment, and distribution in an effective and quality-ensured way that enables uptake even amongst small scholar-led publication venues. We have designed an implementation strategy for this approach in the form of two plugins for the most widely used journal publishing software, Open Journal Systems (OJS). These plugins collect, enrich, and automatically deliver citation metadata and spatio-temporal metadata for articles. Our contribution to research assessment and discovery with linked open bibliographic data is threefold. First, we enlarge the open research information data pool by advocating for the collection of enriched, user-validated metadata at the time of publication through open APIs. Second, we integrate data platforms and journals currently not included in the standard scientometric practices because of their language or lack of support from big publishing houses. Third, we allow new use cases based on location and temporal metadata that go beyond commonly used discovery features, specifically, the assessment of research activities using spatial coverage and new transdisciplinary connections between research outputs.

Who Gets to Wield Academic Mjolnir?: On Worthiness, Knowledge Curation, and Using the Power of the People to Diversify OER - Nusbaum, Amy T. (Journal of Interactive Media in Education, 2020)
1In many academic fields Western/white/male/cishetero2/abled perspectives are often centered, while other perspectives are presented as “other.” Implicitly, this sends messages to students that success looks like one type of person, knowledge is generated in one kind of way, and their background is not worth being centered. While open educational resources (OER) are often marketed as a tool for social justice, due to their ability to neutralize class-based differences (e.g., Okamoto 2013), there is no evidence that OER are any better than commercial texts at addressing issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion (see Mishra 2017 for a discussion of context). However, OER do present a good opportunity for diversification, due to the relatively simple nature of updating the content. This project takes a crowdsourcing approach to diversify OpenStax Psychology (OpenStax College 2014), an OER for Introductory Psychology courses. Contributors were asked to read areas of the textbook they were comfortable with and make suggestions to diversify the content. The author then used some of the suggestions to create modified chapters and conducted a study investigating the impact of the revisions. Participants read either the original chapter or the diversified chapter and completed a questionnaire assessing their sense of belongingness in the classroom/on campus. Overall, first-generation students had a reduced sense of belonging related to their financial circumstances. However, this effect was ameliorated for first-generation students who read the diversified chapter, compared to those who read the original chapter.

Time to Teach: Teacher Attendance and Time on Task in Primary Schools in Mozambique - Nugroho, Dita; Karamperidou, Despina (UNICEF, 2021)
Teacher attendance is one of the prerequisites on the path toward universal learning in developing countries. Over the past decades, however, studies from across the developing world have found national rates of teacher absenteeism that range from 3 to 27 per cent. Therefore, enhancing teachers' presence in the classroom and ensuring that class time is spent teaching, can contribute significantly to the productivity and inclusive prosperity of a country. This Time to Teach study collates and strengthens the evidence base on primary school teacher absenteeism in Mozambique. The study uses a mix of qualitative and quantitative research methods to provide critical insights into the factors that underpin the multiple forms of teacher absenteeism and time on task. It also examines how factors vary across countries, school types, gender of teacher and other teacher characteristics. Despite high levels of teacher absenteeism, the study shows that teachers are generally committed and that what is needed is education system strengthening. It is hoped that findings will inform workable solutions and policies that will ensure a motivated teaching force, increase opportunities for children to learn at school and, ultimately, improve their life and work opportunities.

Exploring the mismatch between teacher demand-supply in sub-Saharan Africa: Ghana as case study - Ntim, , S. (Mediterranean Center of Social and Educational Research, 2013)
This study presents an analysis of the factors affecting the supply and demand of school teachers in Ghana. The findings suggest that the major pull causing the mismatch in teacher supply-demand equation can be summed up under: a) economic demand, b) demographic factors and c) market forces. Sixty percent of those sampled constituting 162 of the respondents were of the view that there was a significant correlation between remuneration and supply while the other 40% (108) not attributing it to remuneration per se, nevertheless saw a link between supply and other economic issues such as end of service benefit. Ninety five percent of respondents were of the view that teacher upgrading in higher market premium courses in institutions of higher learning exacerbate teacher attrition into other better paid jobs: an indication of non-incentives pulling teachers from the teaching profession. The objective of the study is to contribute to advocacy on teacher issues, especially increased resources as well as innovative funding for the employment of sufficient number of teachers.

Examining the service quality of administrative practices in Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Colleges in South Africa - Nomzamo, Monica Mpanza; Green, Paul; Sentoo, Naresh; Cecile N. Gerwel Proches (African Journal of Business and Economic Research, 2019)
The purpose of the research was to evaluate administrative practices in three selected Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Colleges in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. In the higher education sector, students are the clients who are to be given service and whose needs are to be satisfied. A SERVQUAL theoretical framework was employed in this study. The study drew on a mixed method research design. Questionnaires were administered to students, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with administrative clerks and administrative managers. A stratified sampling technique was used when collecting data from staff, and a convenience sample was applied when collecting data from students. Content analysis was used to analyse data from the interviews and the responses from questionnaires were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS). The results of the research indicated a need for TVET Colleges to implement an appropriate set of processes for administrative practices and how critical it is that all employees should adhere to principles of quality customer service.

Video Improves Learning in Higher Education: A Systematic Review - Noetel, Michael; Griffith, Shantell; Delaney, Oscar; Sanders, Taren; Parker, Philip; del Pozo Cruz, Borja; Lonsdale, Chris (Review of Educational Research, 2021)
Universities around the world are incorporating online learning, often relying on videos (asynchronous multimedia). We systematically reviewed the effects of video on learning in higher education. We searched five databases using 27 keywords to find randomized trials that measured the learning effects of video among college students. We conducted full-text screening, data extraction, and risk of bias in duplicate. We calculated pooled effect sizes using multilevel random-effects meta-analysis. Searches retrieved 9,677 unique records. After screening 329 full texts, 105 met inclusion criteria, with a pooled sample of 7,776 students. Swapping video for existing teaching methods led to small improvements in student learning (g = 0.28). Adding video to existing teaching led to strong learning benefits (g = 0.80). Although results may be subject to some experimental and publication biases, they suggest that videos are unlikely to be detrimental and usually improve student learning.

Revisiting global development frameworks and research on universal basic education in Ghana and Sub-Saharan Africa: a review of evidence and gaps for future research - Nkrumah, Rodney Buadi; Sinha, Vandna (Review of Education, 2020)
The emergence of global development frameworks such as Education for All, Millennium Development Goals, and Sustainable Development Goals have expanded opportunities for Universal Basic Education (UBE) in Ghana and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In the three decades of their implementation, these frameworks have also stimulated a culture of research based on measuring development and educational outcomes through established indicator-based approaches. Subsequently, research on UBE in Ghana and SSA remains largely dominated by quantitative indicators which concentrate on enrolment and completion numbers in measuring a country’s progress. Yet, emerging literature shows that the expansion in enrolment is accompanied by high rates of drop-outs, non completion, and low learning outcomes even for those able to complete basic education. Using structured and unstructured procedures to identify both academic and grey literature, this review explores the state of educational expansion and research on UBE in Ghana and SSA. We argue that the current reliance on dominant quantitative, indicator-based approaches to assessing UBE reveals little about the differential experiences of children, particularly those in rural and marginalised communities, who receive poor quality education. The lack of information about children’s experiences of access reinforces inequalities in education, employment, and upward mobility in later life. Future research should seek to unpack micro-level experiences which characterise access, as well as the pathways through which factors such as poverty and location create unequal experiences in schooling access, to inform context-specific policies for UBE.

Multiple Users’ Experiences of an AI-Aided Educational Platform for Teaching and Learning - Niu, Shuanghong Jenny; Li, Xiaoqing; Luo, Jiutong (AI in Learning: Designing the Future, 2023)
This chapter aims to provide a better understanding of how AI technology can be used to assist in teaching and learning at schools. The Smart Learning Partner (SLP) educational platform is based on AI technology to provide new possibilities for individualized learning and more educational resources. We used a case study approach to investigate how this AI-aided SLP platform helped to assist in teaching and learning from the multiple users’ perspectives of students, teachers, and the principal at a Chinese school. This chapter starts with a description of AI used in education and learning. The AI-aided SLP educational platform is then presented to illustrate in what ways it works to assist in teaching and learning. Based on the users’ self-reported experience, this platform can support students’ learning by providing students with individualized diagnostic feedback and assessments as well as information about the progress of their learning. In addition, students receive recommendations of micro lectures from the platform to aid improvement based on the students’ assessment results. Additionally, students can also access various micro lectures according to their interests. This platform provides teachers with reports of real-time learning situations and progress at the individual or class level. Accordingly, teachers can better adjust their pedagogical decision and teaching according to the students’ needs. The principal used the information to allocate resources and assist in curriculum planning at school. In conclusion, all users positively stated that this AI-aided SLP platform assisted in teaching and learning at school even though there were still certain challenges. At the end of the chapter, recommendations for the future platform design are offered.

Teaching Systematic Review - Nind, Melanie (Systematic Reviews in Educational Research: Methodology, Perspectives and Application, 2020)
This chapter is about teaching systematic review; it is not, however, the product of a systematic review. It combines and builds on insights from two sets of research experiences: being taught about how to conduct systematic reviews ahead of doing this myself, and more recently, conducting study of the Pedagogy of Methodological Learning for the National Centre for Research Methods in the UK. The latter engaged teachers and learners in the process of building capability and capacity in the co-construction of understandings of what is important in teaching and learning advanced social science research methods, including systematic review. The chapter advocates teaching systematic review in ways that support critical thinking, utilising deep knowledge of the method and a willingness to be reflexive and open about its messy realities.

Introduction to AI in Learning: Designing the Future - Niemi, Hannele; Pea, Roy D.; Lu, Yu (AI in Learning: Designing the Future, 2023)
The introduction chapter focuses on the main questions of the whole book AI in Learning: Designing the Future: (1) How is learning changing when human learning and machine learning are connected and what consequences does this conjunction have for education, also for working life as lifelong learning and (2) what kind of ethical issues are emerging with AI in education from the viewpoints of schools and other learning environments. The chapter first summarizes how recent AI technologies provide several options for learning and educational services and how AI is applied already in societies. In education and learning, many advanced techniques are already available, and we have tentatively promising findings. However, the accelerating pace of development of technology expands AI’s potentialities in education, so we need extensive new research about educational implementations and their effects on human learning and people’s lives. The chapter also summarizes how different chapters provide new research on AI in learning and education.

scite: A smart citation index that displays the context of citations and classifies their intent using deep learning - Nicholson, Josh M.; Mordaunt, Milo; Lopez, Patrice; Uppala, Ashish; Rosati, Domenic; Rodrigues, Neves P.; Grabitz, Peter; Rife, Sean C. (Quantitative Science Studies, 2021)
Citation indices are tools used by the academic community for research and research evaluation that aggregate scientific literature output and measure impact by collating citation counts. Citation indices help measure the interconnections between scientific papers but fall short because they fail to communicate contextual information about a citation. The use of citations in research evaluation without consideration of context can be problematic because a citation that presents contrasting evidence to a paper is treated the same as a citation that presents supporting evidence. To solve this problem, we have used machine learning, traditional document ingestion methods, and a network of researchers to develop a “smart citation index” called scite, which categorizes citations based on context. Scite shows how a citation was used by displaying the surrounding textual context from the citing paper and a classification from our deep learning model that indicates whether the statement provides supporting or contrasting evidence for a referenced work, or simply mentions it. Scite has been developed by analyzing over 25 million full-text scientific articles and currently has a database of more than 880 million classified citation statements. Here we describe how scite works and how it can be used to further research and research evaluation.

To Use or not Use Collaborative Learning Techniques in Teleconference Teaching? A Case Study from the Hellenic Open University - Niari, Maria (Journal of Learning for Development, 2021)
The purpose of the small-scale qualitative research study was to examine the use and perceived value of integrating collaborative learning techniques at teleconferences at the School of Humanities of the Hellenic Open University (HOU). Qualitative semi-structure interviews with tutors from the School of Humanities at the HOU were conducted in order for the research plan to be fundamentally heuristic and generate original results. Purposeful sampling was chosen for the data collection process, cross-sectional organization for the data classification and thematic analysis for the data analysis. The results of the present research study indicate the parameters need to be taken into account in order for the tutors to use collaborative learning techniques at teleconference teaching at HOU. Adequate teleconference platform, tutors’ training on distance collaborative learning and group dynamics, and a common understanding regarding distance learning and group dynamics in e-learning environments are some of the most significant findings derived from this research study. The role of students, as well as the role of the distance-learning provider, in integrating and adopting distance collaborative learning strategies is also highlighted by the results.

Modelling TVET Colleges as Alternative Centres to Deliver eSkills Training in Rural Communities of Eastern Cape - Ngqulu, Ndiyakholwa; Gumbo, Sibukele; Nogwina, Mnoneleli (2019 IST-Africa Week Conference, IST-Africa 2019, 2019)
© 2019 The authors. The National Electronic Media Institute of South Africa (NEMISA) has adopted, among other objectives, a focus and dedication of time and resources in upskilling people to be digitally competent. This objective is delivered through provincial e-Skills CoLabs distributed around South Africa which have the mandate to roll out the necessary digital skills (e-skills) courses for various ICT user groups usually at ICT Centres with adequate infrastructure. This is necessary as it is public knowledge that while people may own ICT devices, they still face challenges utilising them to work, get further training and conduct business. However, many ICT Centres that are either donated or provided by various stakeholders have failed due to sustainability. This study interrogates the potential of Eastern Cape Technical and Vocational Education and Training colleges (TVETs) as ICT centres to deliver e-skills training. Most of these TVET college campuses are located in rural areas; therefore provide a means to bridge the digital gap between and develop the capacity of our rural communities and up skill people. Informed by the brief background above, the research question guiding this study is 'What is the state of readiness of TVET colleges as ICT centres of choice to service communities'? To respond to this question, 6 Eastern Cape TVET colleges of Eastern Cape were sampled.

Strategies That Enhance Students Access to Public Technical Training Institutions in Kenya - Nganyi, JE; Odebero, SO; Onderi, H; Musera, G (International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences, 2014)
Stakeholders in the education sector in Kenya are concerned about low students’ participation in Technical Training Institutions. Despite the Government of Kenya’s efforts to upgrade infrastructure in these institutions, students’ participation has remained low yet the realisation of Vision 2030 depends on middle level training. Therefore this study was conceptualised to establish strategies adopted by Technical Training Institutions to support students access in these institutions. This study was conducted in Western Region of Kenya. Western Region comprise of the former Western, Nyanza and rift valley Provinces. The sample constituted of 200 lecturers (principals, deputy principals, heads of departments and registrars) and 400 students from 30 Technical Training Institutions. Data was collected using questionnaires. The results show that the strategies used to attract students are bursaries, provision of competitive courses and opening more centres. However these strategies do not attract students to these Technical Training Institutions because of weak administration and implementation by the institutions. It was recommended that in an effort to promote enrolment in Technical Training Institutions, the Kenyan Government should fully fund students enrolled in Technical Training Institutions. Besides Technical Training Institutions should enhance advertisement of the courses offered; strengthen distance/e-learning; and review courses offered to meet the market demand.

Exploring the Emergence of Community Support for School and Encouragement of Innovation for Improving Rural School Performance: Lessons Learned at Kitamburo in Tanzania - Ngalawa, Athanas August; Simmt, Elaine; Glanfield, Florence (Global Education Review, 2015)
This article describes a qualitative exploration of a primary school in a remote rural community of Tanzania, whose students showed promising performance in mathematics, as measured by the Primary School Leaving Examinations (PSLE). Case study methods were used to conduct research about the school and community in order to understand the dynamics that shape the school and village as community and communities. Interviews, focus groups, and observations were conducted. The paper identifies the role of village leadership in generating a learning community (Warren, 2005), that initiated community support of the school, which in turn prompted teachers’ innovations for developing in their work as professionals, that improved teaching and learning practices in mathematics and contributed to the noted promising performance on the PSLE. The article concludes that although school principals and teachers are regarded as keys in generating professional learning communities (DuFour, DuFour, & Eaker, 2008; Fullan, Hill &Crévola, 2006 ), under good community leadership communities may be essential catalysts in establishing and sustaining professional learning communities and contribute to school improvement.

Integration of ICTs into the Curriculum of Cameroon Primary and Secondary Schools: A Review of Current Status, Barriers and Proposed Strategies for Effective Integration - Ngajie, Berty Nsolly; Ngo, Mback Marie Charlotte (International Journal of Education and Development using Information and Communication Technology, 2016)
Many sub-Saharan African countries are progressively integrating information and communication technologies (ICTs) into their education systems especially in primary and secondary schools. These efforts that are seen in both private and public schools to bring technologies into the classroom are just starting but are encountering a lot of difficulties. Cameroon, a Sub-Saharan African country, is not an exception to the situation in this group of countries. ICTs were officially introduced in schools in Cameroon since 2001 and since then many initiatives have been carried out but the difficulties supersede the progress. Based on available research, this study focuses on the current status of ICTs in Cameroon primary and secondary schools. It gives a brief description of the country's education system, and reviews major initiatives that have been carried out so far in the integration of ICTs in primary and secondary schools. It further identifies and analyzes some barriers that cause ICT integration into curriculum ineffective. Lastly, it recommends some strategies to overcome the barriers, and guidelines for a contextualized and effective ICT integration.

Reports from the Field: Secondary School in Hong Kong Integrating the Spirit of Humanities into STEAM Education - Ng, Sin Fai Eric; Ng, Chin Hung (Journal of Learning for Development, 2021)
A small project of STEAM education called “Innovation for Love and Care” was implemented in a local secondary school in Hong Kong. Four seventh-grade students participated from November 2020 to February 2021. The project aims to integrate humanism into the traditional STEAM curriculum to stimulate the students’ innovation in a people-oriented approach. The project consisted of three modules implemented by means of both online teaching and face-to-face lessons due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The responses of the students were very positive. The overall performance has been recognised by the school management team. For the next step, the project team plans to expand the project to all seventh-grade students.

Education Systems for Girls’ Education in the Indo-Pacific Region - Newman, Lorenzo; Pelosi, Alice; Zino, Giovanni; Crespi, Silvia; Gordon, Rebecca (2021)
Despite substantial progress over the last two decades, girls in many parts of the world experience worse educational outcomes than boys, particularly at the secondary and tertiary levels. The COVID-19 pandemic appears to have exacerbated this learning gap in many regions, making research on the relationship between girls’ education outcomes and education systems increasingly urgent. This rapid review explores the determinants of girls’ education outcomes in a specific group of Indo-Pacific countries. It examines the education system determinants of these outcomes such as government investment, teacher training, water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure in schools, school-related gender-based violence, and indirect costs of education, drawing from pre-COVID-19 data. It also investigates societal determinants such as political factors, poverty rates, labour market participation trends, and child marriage rates. By attempting to explain differences in learning outcomes for girls, it also achieves a typology of countries in the region and suggests ideas for further research and FCDO programming.

Computational Grounded Theory: A Methodological Framework - Nelson, Laura K. (Sociological Methods & Research, 2020)
This article proposes a three-step methodological framework called computational grounded theory, which combines expert human knowledge and hermeneutic skills with the processing power and pattern recognition of computers, producing a more methodologically rigorous but interpretive approach to content analysis. The first, pattern detection step, involves inductive computational exploration of text, using techniques such as unsupervised machine learning and word scores to help researchers to see novel patterns in their data. The second, pattern refinement step, returns to an interpretive engagement with the data through qualitative deep reading or further exploration of the data. The third, pattern confirmation step, assesses the inductively identified patterns using further computational and natural language processing techniques. The result is an efficient, rigorous, and fully reproducible computational grounded theory. This framework can be applied to any qualitative text as data, including transcribed speeches, interviews, open-ended survey data, or ethnographic field notes, and can address many potential research questions.

Improving educational outcomes & reducing absenteeism at remote villages with mobile technology and WhatsApp: findings from rural India - Nedungadi, Prema; Mulki, Karunya; Raman, Raghu (Education and Information Technologies, 2018)
Reduction of teacher and student absenteeism, together with consistent teacher support and training, are critical factors in improving the quality of education in rural India. As part of an ongoing project involving schools and educational centers in rural areas spread across 21 Indian states, this study investigated how implementation of two simple, accessible technologies could not only reduce absenteeism but also increase teachers' effectiveness and improve student performance. In addition to students and teachers, key stakeholders included educational coordinators who provided support and monitoring regarding use of WhatsApp and two additional apps designed specifically to support simple educational improvements. In our study we coded and analyzed nine months of messages (n = 8968), both photographs and texts, posted by 26 participants. The number of text messages related to attendance was strongly positively correlated with frequency of interactions between coordinators and teachers. Our approach resulted in increased teacher and student attendance, as well as improvements in lessons and other planned educational activities. This model functions well in rural settings where there is poor internet connectivity and lack of supporting infrastructure. Remote schools can easily adopt this tablet-based model to reduce teacher absenteeism, improve teaching techniques, improve educational resources, and increase student performance.

Promoting effective Work Integrated Learning (WIL) and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) practices in the TVET sector through research - Nduna, Nothemba Joyce (2017)
There is a growing interest in increasing research capacity in South African public Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in general and in Universities of Technology (UoTs) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Colleges in particular. As part of its strategy to increase research capacity, the Education, Training and Development Practices Ϫ Sector Education and Training Authority (ETDP SETA) has established six Research Chairs in six public HEIs. This article introduces the work of the Research Chair for Work Integrated Learning (WIL) and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) that was established by the ETDP SETA in August 2015. The purpose of introducing the work of the Research Chair is to explore possibilities for research collaborations and partnerships with a variety of stakeholders at local, national and international levels. The article is divided into five sections. The first section is an introduction which provides the context, focus and purpose of the Research Chair. This section also highlights the need for research into WIL current practices and WIL staff development needs and advocates for the development of WIL related HEQSF qualifications in the TVET sector. The second section provides an overview of literature on WIL and RPL and relates the work of the Research Chair to the 2013 Policy on Professional Qualifications for lecturers in TVET and the 2015 Draft RPL Policy for the Higher Education Qualifications Sub-Framework (HEQSF). The third section deals with the research methodology that covers the research questions, intended outcomes and data collection processes that were involved. The fourth section discusses the research findings and enabling factors for the Research Chair. The final section provides a summary of the findings and calls for research collaborations.

Critical knowledge, skills and qualifications for accelerated and sustainable development in Africa - Ndoye, M; Walther, R (2012)
The major challenge of the 2012 ADEA Triennale will be to help African countries design and develop suitable and effective education and training systems that can help move the continent away from the struggle for subsistence and the spiral of poverty towards a process of sustainable transformation that reconciles economic growth with the pursuit of equity and the conservation of natural resources. In short, the aim is to enable Africa to “run while others walk”, while avoiding causing the same damage others caused when they were running. To achieve such a goal, the Synthesis Report recommends that a number of prerequisites should be met before the required reforms can be possible. They will succeed only if they look back at Africa’s past identity in order to take greater control over future choices, if they are based on a common vision of the future determined with all concerned stakeholders, and if they make education, training and employment central to current and future policies. The report then discusses the unprecedented efforts of public and private, African and international officials and stakeholders in order to formulate appropriate, concrete responses to the challenge of the Triennale, which is to “promote critical knowledge, skills and qualifications for Africa’s sustainable development”. These responses, categorized by sub-theme, may be summed up as follows. Sub-theme 1: building a common core of skills for all The education system should give people of all ages access to a common core of basic skills (cognitive, communication and learning-to-learn skills, personal and social development skills, etc.) to enable them to control their human, social and economic environment and develop responsible and active African citizenship. Sub-theme 2: mass development of technical and vocational skills Massive investment to raise training and qualification levels is urgently required in order to wage an effective war against unemployment and massive underemployment of youth and the low productivity of a largely informal economy. It is also necessary to invest in high-level qualifications in order to support and, if possible, anticipate changes and technological innovation and promote the badly-needed industrialization of the African economy. Sub-theme 3: building knowledge and innovation-based economies and societies in Africa R&D, knowledge and innovation have become the key drivers of output, economic competitiveness and development generally. Africa needs to catch up in this respect and, to this end, it must build its scientific development on indigenous African knowledge, use science and technology to strengthen education and exploit the current surge in information and communication technology as a driver of development. All this will be possible only if all African countries work towards the adoption of a continental pact for sustainable development.

Baseline Study on the Current State of Open and Distance Learning in Cameroon - Ndongfack, Michael N. (Commonwealth of Learning (COL), 2016)
Meeting in Mauritius in May 2014, COL Focal Points from Africa and the Mediterranean Regions reviewed the state of ODL in their respective countries and proceeded to map out their strategic plans for 2015–2018. The report from Cameroon demonstrated that although the country is making some progress in the domain of ODL, it lacks an ODL policy framework, a national body to manage distance education and expertise in the field of ODL. To address the issues raised, it was important to establish the baseline situation. The general objective of this study was to establish the current situation of ODL in Cameroon.

A Comparative Analysis of Firm Based Training in East African Manufacturing Sector: Does Level of Education Matter? - Ndlovu, Tchaka; Kajiba, John; Aiko, Rose; Kessy, Flora; Mkenda, Beatrice K.; Kweka, Josaphat; Kabelwa, George (2006)
Using World Bank's (2003) firm-level Investment Climate Survey (ICS) data for Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, this paper examines extent in which education and skill levels are important determinants of Firm-based Training (FBT) in the East African manufacturing sector. The findings show weak evidence on complementary hypothesis between education and FBT but one which differs significantly across (perhaps depending on educational and training capacity of) different countries. Although other determinants of FBT apply differently to specific countries, size and technology characteristics are common determinants across the three countries. Furthermore, firms that care about HIV epidemic train more as a means to abate the negative effects of the epidemic on their human resources. Since FBT has potential to contribute to skill development, the findings imply that enterprise training should receive similar policy emphasis as education in the bid to enhance human resource development for growth and poverty reduction.

Evaluation of artisan training in metal silo construction for grain storage in Africa: Impact on uptake, entrepreneurship and income - Ndegwa, M.K.; de Groote, Hugo; Gitonga, Z.M. (International Journal of Educational Development, 2015)
This study assesses the impact of training sheet metal workers in Kenya on their uptake of learned skills and their income. Fifty-eight artisans trained in the construction of metal silos for hermetic grain storage were compared to a random sample of 123 untrained artisans. Results show that two-thirds of the trained artisans were making the silos, half of these in their own workshops and half as employees. The probability of using the skills learned declined with age but increased with previous experience in technical work. The training did not significantly increase the income of employed artisans, but increased the annual income of those who made the silos in their own workshops by KSh315,173 (about US$3,600). The overall impact could be improved by better targeting of trainees, by using apprenticeships as an alternative mode of training, and by encouraging entrepreneurship through business training and provision of credit.

Teacher perceptions on the effectiveness of an English remedial teaching programme in primary schools in Zimbabwe: towards an alternative to the deficit model - Ndebele, Clever (International Journal of Educational Sciences, 2014)
In the Zimbabwean education system, primary school pupils are tested at the beginning of grade four to determine their English proficiency and based on the test results those who fall below a certain predetermined score are placed on a generic remedial programme offered by a specially designated teacher. This study set out to evaluate the effectiveness of this English remedial education programme in Zimbabwe. Using the descriptive survey method, a total of thirty respondents from ten schools, comprising ten heads of schools, ten Grade four teachers and ten remedial teachers were issued with a semi structured questionnaire. For data analysis, substantive themes were deduced and outlined from the data through content analysis. The study showed that very few pupils were benefiting from remedial instruction. Remedial teachers were poorly trained for remedial teaching, materials for use for both teachers and pupils were grossly inadequate, while supervision and monitoring by Schools Psychological Services (SPS) was virtually non-existent. The study recommends that Schools Psychological Services considers an integrated approach where, rather than pupils being sent to an external expert for fixing, the grade four teacher provides the extra tuition using authentic contextualized grade four material.
