A Literature Review of the Impacts of Heat Stress on Human Health across Africa - Ncongwane, Katlego P.; Botai, Joel O.; Sivakumar, Venkataraman; Botai, Christina M. (Sustainability, 2021)
Heat stress-related illness attributed to the changing climate, particularly the more frequent extreme high temperatures, is becoming a theme of public concern, especially in the most vulnerable regions, such as the African continent. Knowledge of the existing research directions and gaps on heat stress and human health is vital for informing future strategic research foci capable of influencing policy development, planning, adaptation, and mitigation efforts. In this regard, a bibliometric analysis was conducted, with an emphasis on Africa, to assess regional research contributions to heat stress impacts on human health. The goals of the study were to review publication growth and patterns of the scientific publications and to identify key players (especially collaborating institutions and countries) and the evolution of research themes on the African continent, while paying attention to global trends and emergent hot topics and methodology of heat stress research. Using the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus core collection databases, a structured keyword search was undertaken, which yielded 463 and 58 research publications from around the world and Africa, respectively. The retrieved scientific documents, published between 1968 and 2020, were analyzed and visualized using a bibliometric analysis technique and the VOSviewer software tool. The results indicate low statistics and slow scientific growth in publication output, with the highest peak having been reached in 2018, resulting in 13 scientific publications. While global research collaborations are successfully reflected in the literature, there is a considerable gap in understanding heat stress and related collaborations between African countries and international institutions. The review study has identified key opportunities that can benefit Africa through the expansion of the scope of heat stress and human health research on the continent. These opportunities can be achieved by closing the following research gaps: (1) vulnerability assessments within demographic classes, such as the elderly, (2) personal exposure and associated risks, (3) Urban Heat Island (UHI) evaluation for urban environments, and (4) heat adaptation research, which will enable informed and targeted preventive actions that will limit future heat health impacts. The authors opine that the pursuit of such studies will be most impactful if the current knowledge gaps are bridged through transdisciplinary research supported by local, regional, and international collaborators.

The Importance of Educating Girls in the Newly Merged Districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan: Policy Paper - Naveed, Sumbal (Center for Universal Education at The Brookings Institution, 2018)
The Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) in Pakistan, named the Newly Merged Districts (NMDs) of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in July 2018, have begun rebuilding after years of Talibanization and military operations. This policy paper focuses on how the government-led education activities can be best aligned to make education possible for the districts' girls, who have long been excluded from education due to conflict and war. Based on stakeholder perceptions, the paper identifies some barriers missed by the FATA's Education Sector Plan (ESP) and points out the opportunities within communities to accelerate the efforts to improve the girls' participation in schools. The results of the study propose to use a gender lens for planning and implementing the activities that can improve access to quality education, to prepare the girls for a better and more productive life.

Fostering Early Math Comprehension: Experimental Evidence from Paraguay - Naslund-Hadley, Emma; Parker, Susan W; Hernandez-Agramonte, Juan Manuel (Global Education Review, 2014)
Research indicates that preschool children need to learn pre-math skills to build a foundation for primary- and secondary-level mathematics. This paper presents the results from the early stages of a pilot mathematics program implemented in Cordillera, Paraguay. In a context of significant gaps in teacher preparation and pedagogy, the program uses interactive audio segments that cover the entire preschool math curriculum. Since Paraguayan classrooms tend to be bilingual, the audio and written materials use a combination of Spanish and Guaraní. Based on an experimental evaluation since the program’s implementation, we document positive and significant improvements of 0.16 standard deviations in standardized test scores. The program helped narrow learning gaps between low- and high-performing students, and between students with trained teachers and those whose teachers lack formal training in early childhood education. Moreover, the program improved learning equally among both Guaraní- and Spanish-speaking students. But not all learning gaps narrowed as a result of the program. Although girls improved significantly, boys improved much more, ultimately increasing the gender gap. To close this gender gap, the program has been modified to encourage girls’ increased participation in the classroom and general interest in math.

Predicting Student Performance Using Data Mining and Learning Analytics Techniques: A Systematic Literature Review - Namoun, Abdallah; Alshanqiti, Abdullah (Applied Sciences, 2021)
The prediction of student academic performance has drawn considerable attention in education. However, although the learning outcomes are believed to improve learning and teaching, prognosticating the attainment of student outcomes remains underexplored. A decade of research work conducted between 2010 and November 2020 was surveyed to present a fundamental understanding of the intelligent techniques used for the prediction of student performance, where academic success is strictly measured using student learning outcomes. The electronic bibliographic databases searched include ACM, IEEE Xplore, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Scopus, Springer, and Web of Science. Eventually, we synthesized and analyzed a total of 62 relevant papers with a focus on three perspectives, (1) the forms in which the learning outcomes are predicted, (2) the predictive analytics models developed to forecast student learning, and (3) the dominant factors impacting student outcomes. The best practices for conducting systematic literature reviews, e.g., PICO and PRISMA, were applied to synthesize and report the main results. The attainment of learning outcomes was measured mainly as performance class standings (i.e., ranks) and achievement scores (i.e., grades). Regression and supervised machine learning models were frequently employed to classify student performance. Finally, student online learning activities, term assessment grades, and student academic emotions were the most evident predictors of learning outcomes. We conclude the survey by highlighting some major research challenges and suggesting a summary of significant recommendations to motivate future works in this field.

Sustaining Work-based Learning During COVID 19 Pandemic: - Namjoshi, Revati; Pani, Soumya; Despande, Ujjwala; Ranade, Amit (Journal of Learning for Development, 2021)
Sustaining Work-based Learning during the COVID-19 pandemic became a challenge since access to working-cum-learning places for students of a work-based degree programme was depleted. Socio-economic challenges needed to be addressed as students came from economically weaker sections of society. Also critical were the pedagogic challenges in terms of validating the sustenance and spirit of the work-based learning (WBL) model. This case study presents a special initiative of digital freelancing offering virtual workplaces as well as livelihoods to work-based learning students during the pandemic. Merits, limitations, potential spinoffs of the WBL model for higher education and learning for development are discussed.

Interaction in a discussion list: an exploration of cognitive, social, and teaching presence in teachers’ online collaborations - Nami, Fatemeh; Marandi, S Susan; Sotoudehnama, Elaheh (ReCALL: the Journal of EUROCALL, 2018)
Discussion lists have gained a significant popularity in professional development research over the past few decades for the opportunity they provide for asynchronous interaction. This article presents findings from a small-scale case study that aimed at exploring the nature of teachers’ asynchronous exchanges in a discussion list. The data comprised the archived log of the messages in a Yahoo Group discussion list by five in-service English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers who volunteered to take part in a hybrid computer-assisted language learning (CALL) teacher education course in a state university in Iran. The discussion list was incorporated into the course to engage participants in professional dialogue on topics related to technology/CALL. During the initial data analysis, participants’ asynchronous exchanges were grouped as suggestions, questions, unclassified, answers, and delivery, drawing upon Oriogun and Cave’s (2008) SQUAD categorization, following the constant comparative method of analysis. Through a follow-up computer-mediated discourse analysis, cognitive, social, and teaching presence functional moves were identified in the data. Participants used the space not only for socializing and peer instruction but also for constructing knowledge. Despite an uneven pattern of contribution, asynchronous exchanges provided opportunities for knowledge construction at different levels of cognitive presence on topics ranging from technology tools and their affordances/constraints to computer-assisted language testing, materials development, and classroom management. The findings provide CALL teacher education researchers and course designers insights into the potential of asynchronous interaction for online and blended language teacher education.

Investigating the rationale for material selection in tropical housing projects in Uganda – a Case for Interlocking Stabilised Soil Blocks (ISSB) technology - Nambatya, Margret Mauricia (University of Cambridge, 2015)
Behind Uganda’s housing construction industry are conventional practices in the choice of building materials, particularly burned bricks (BBs) bonded together with thick mortar of up to 30 mm to erect walls for housing. Due to the growing population, the demand for houses in Uganda has increased in the recent years, increasing the demand for building materials. However, meeting this increased demand can speed up deforestation and worsen the effects of climate change since the firing of bricks in Uganda takes 5.7 times more energy than that recorded in the ICE database of general baked clay bricks in the UK.

ChatGPT’s ability to classify virtual reality studies in cardiology - Nakaya, Yuichiro; Higaki, Akinori; Yamaguchi, Osamu (European Heart Journal - Digital Health, 2023)
We recently published a novel categorization of studies related to virtual reality (VR) in your journal, European Heart Journal—Digital Health.1 Our categorization is based on the usage of VR devices, where type A studies refer to those in which healthcare providers use VR devices and type B studies refer to those in which patients use them. Using this simple definition, we clarified the study trends and characteristics of the two research directions. In this study, we used a classical natural language processing (NLP) methodology, specifically ‘term frequency–inverse document frequency’ to develop an automatic abstract categorizer, which is available as a web application at https://ahigaki-vr-categorizer-str-app-gb1m6v.streamlit.app. Meanwhile, ChatGPT, a conversational artificial intelligence (AI) system launched by OpenAI, has had a significant impact on the field of NLP.2 Several proposed uses of ChatGPT as a scholarly tool, including systematic review literature searches, have already been suggested.3 Therefore, we sought to test whether ChatGPT can also perform the classification task that we previously conducted using traditional NLP methods.

Is farmer-to-farmer extension effective? The impact of training on technology adoption and rice farming productivity in Tanzania - Nakano, Yuko; Tsusaka, Takuji W.; Aida, Takeshi; Pede, Valerien O. (World Development, 2018)
Abstract Agricultural training is a potentially effective method to diffuse relevant new technologies to increase productivity and alleviate rural poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, since it is prohibitively expensive to provide direct training to all the farmers in SSA, it is critically important to examine the extent to which technologies taught to a small number of farmers disseminate to non-trained farmers. This paper investigates the technology dissemination pathways among smallholder rice producers within a rural irrigation scheme in Tanzania. As an innovative feature, we compare the performance of three categories of farmers: key farmers, who receive intensive pre-season training at a local training center; intermediate farmers, who are trained by the key farmers; and other ordinary farmers. By collecting and analyzing a unique five-year household-level panel data set, we estimate difference-in-differences models to assess how the gap in performance evolve as the technologies spill over from the trained farmers to the ordinary farmers. To disentangle the technology spillover process, we also examine the extent to which social and geographical network with the key and intermediate farmers influences the adoption of technologies by the ordinary farmers, by incorporating social relationship variables into spatial econometric models. We found that the ordinary farmers who were a relative or residential neighbor of a key or intermediate farmer were more likely to adopt new technologies than those who were not. As a result, while the key farmers’ technology adoption rates rose immediately after the training, those of the non-trained ordinary farmers caught up belatedly. As the technologies disseminated, the paddy yield of the key farmers increased from 3.1 to 5.3 tons per hectare, while the yield of the ordinary farmers increased from 2.6 to 3.7 tons per hectare. Our results suggest the effectiveness and practical potential of farmer-to-farmer extension programs for smallholders in SSA as a cost effective alternative to the conventional farmer training approach.

An Introduction to Adaptive Interventions and SMART Designs in Education - Nahum-Shani, Inbal; Almirall, Daniel; Buckley, Jacquelyn (2020)
Education practice often requires teachers and other school personnel to adapt interventions over time in order to address between-student heterogeneity in response to intervention (e.g., what works for one student may not work for the other) or within-student heterogeneity (e.g., what works now may not work in the future for the same student). An adaptive intervention allows education practitioners to do this in a prespecified, systematic, and replicable way through a sequence of decision rules that guides whether, how, and when to modify interventions. In an adaptive intervention, the practitioner modifies the dosage or type of intervention, or the mode of delivery to meet the unique and changing needs of students as they progress over time. The sequential, multiple assignment, randomized trial (SMART) is one type of multistage, experimental design that can help education researchers build high-quality adaptive interventions. Despite the critical role adaptive interventions can play in various domains of education, research about adaptive interventions and about the use of SMART designs to develop effective adaptive interventions in education is in its infancy. This paper defines an adaptive intervention and reviews the components of this design, discusses the key features of the SMART, and introduces common research questions for which SMARTs may be appropriate.

Pareto optimality and game theory approach for optimal deployment of DG in radial distribution system to improve techno-economic benefits - Nagaballi, Srinivas; Kale, Vijay S. (Applied Soft Computing, 2020)
This paper discusses the application of nature-inspired swarm intelligence methods for optimal allocation and sizing of distributed generation (DG) in the radial distribution system (RDS). Introducing DG units in the RDS will enhance the technical and economic benefits if they are optimally deployed. The objective functions considered are to improve the technical aspects and net economical saving cost with DG units integration on RDS. In this paper, a weighted multi-objective index considers a wide range of technical issues such as active and reactive power losses of the system, voltage profile, line loading, and the voltage stability, these are assumed as technical improvement aspects in the RDS. A recent optimization method, i.e. improved raven roosting optimization (IRRO) algorithm has been implemented for optimal deployment of DG in RDS. The state of the art of IRRO algorithm parameters will improve the ability for exploration and prevent premature convergence. Pareto optimality is used in making a set of the best solutions between two conflicting objectives considered, i.e. technical and economical aspects. The main contribution in this paper is to utilize a game theory based (minimax) algorithm in taking the best decision from a set of non-dominated solutions obtained by Pareto optimality criteria. IEEE 33-bus and 69-bus RDS’s are considered as the test systems for verifying the effectiveness of the IRRO algorithm. A comparative analysis with other nature-inspired swarm optimization techniques such as particle swarm optimization (PSO), modified teaching learning based optimization (MTLBO), Jaya algorithm (JAYA), and grey wolf optimizer (GWO) is also presented in this work. The simulation results of IRRO are compared with similar existing papers. It is observed that the IRRO algorithm can produce better results for the considered multi-objective functions. The MATLAB software is employed for the purpose. The novelty of the paper lies in the use of Pareto optimal and game theory in obtaining better results to the problem of optimal deployment of DG in RDS to improve technical as well as economic benefits.

The need of developing a self-critical experimental attitude – intentions, concepts and consequences for vocational teacher education - Naeve-Stoß, Nicole (Social Dimension and Participation in Vocational Education and Training, 2017)
The central aim of teacher education is to develop a profound scientific professionalism, which enables teachers to reflect upon their educational actions in a complex and non-standardized pedagogical environment. In this sense, study programs in teacher education for vocational schools should foster the development of both a self-critical experimental attitude and an inquiry-based disposition, as well as the willingness to engage in self-reflection. The development of such attitudes is enabled by the concepts of reflexive and research-based learning, which will be outlined in this paper.

Learning about Program Design With Rugged Fitness Spaces - Nadel, Sara; Pritchett, Lant
We propose that we live in a world characterized by a hyperdimensional design space with a rugged ﬁtness function. All aspects of our environment interact to change the outcomes and impact of social programs (hyperdimensionality). Small adjustments to program designs can cause big changes to outcomes and impact (rugged ﬁtness function). In this world, we beneﬁt from learning about social programs through testing more points along the design space, even when our sample sizes are compromised. We run a simulation comparing the program impact when learning is done through crawling the design space (CDS) vs. through randomized control trials and ﬁnd that CDS generates greater impact. We motivate our study through our experiences designing a skill set-signaling program for new entrants to the labor market.

Inclusion of GIS in student teacher training and its significance in higher education in southern African countries - Mzuza, Maureen Kapute; Westhuizen, Christo Van der (International Research in Geographical and Environmental Education, 2020)
Studies have been carried out on the use of geographical information systems (GIS) in teacher training, especially in the developed countries. In southern African countries, nevertheless, the scenario is different because GIS education appears to be a rather new field of study. This study therefore used systematic review to collect data. This method assists in finding and understanding the outcomes of other research conducted within the same field of study. The results reveal that only three countries (South Africa, Botswana and Malawi) teach GIS at their teacher-training universities and secondary schools. In Lesotho, GIS are only taught in secondary schools. In other countries, such as Zambia, Namibia and Zimbabwe, GIS are not taught at all at teacher-training universities and secondary schools but only at universities or departments that do not train teachers. There is no inclusion of GIS at the universities in Angola, Mozambique, Swaziland and Lesotho. Countries that use GIS have demonstrated that the course helps with decision-making, critical thinking and inquiry-based and learner-centred learning, which have the ability to improve the quality of education. Educators and policy-makers are encouraged to reinforce the inclusion of GIS and use of relevant pedagogical skills in teacher-training universities.

A systematic mapping review of augmented reality applications to support STEM learning in higher education - Mystakidis, Stylianos; Christopoulos, Athanasios; Pellas, Nikolaos (Education and Information Technologies, 2022)
While there is an increasing interest in Augmented Reality (AR) technologies in Primary and Secondary (K-12) Education, its application in Higher Education (HE) is still an emerging trend. This study reports findings from a systematic mapping review, based on a total of forty-five (n = 45) articles published in international peer-reviewed journals from 2010 to 2020, after evaluating the use of AR applications that support Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects’ learning in HE settings. This review’s results highlighted the lack of research across the STEM spectrum, especially in the Technology and Mathematics subfields, as well as the scarcity of location-based and markerless AR applications. Furthermore, three augmentation techniques, suitable for STEM learning, were identified and analysed: augmentation of laboratory specialised equipment, physical objects and course handbooks or sheets. The main contribution of this article is a taxonomy of instructional models and the discussion of applied instructional strategies and techniques in STEM fields focused on HE settings. In addition, we provide visualisations of the present state of the area, which aim at encouraging and scaffolding educators’ efforts based on specific classification criteria to develop AR experiences and conduct further research to enhance STEM learning.

Learning to Program on KaiOS: a Hands-on Coding School for Developing Climate Service Apps - Myllynpää, Ville; Ntinda, Maria; Haakana, Jani; Sutinen, Erkki (2020 IST-Africa Conference (IST-Africa), 2020)
The demand for short and intense courses intended to teach new or improve existing pragmatic ICT skills, required for solving a given problem in a real context, has been raised especially by the industry. We provide an example where a pragmatic coding school model has been shown to be an effective way to teach new skills and enhance prior knowledge in a short timeframe, among undergraduate computer science students of the University of Namibia (UNAM). This paper presents a coding school for climate service app development, organized jointly by the University of Turku (UTU), Finland, and UNAM, at the UTU satellite campus within the UNAM main campus. We describe the coding school's design and implementation phases, as well as analyze lessons learned, based on which we suggest actions to improve similar schools in the future. Furthermore, we demonstrate a method by which the coding school is linked to the requirements of an international research project demanding local input in its co-design.

Holistic Model for Designing a Climate Service Application on the KaiOS Platform - Myllynpää, Ville; Haakana, Jani; Virtanen, Julius; Sutinen, Erkki (Extended Abstracts of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2020)
Interest towards building and operating climate services is constantly growing globally, especially regarding utilization of mobile technologies in those services in the Global South, in order to reach rural farmers effectively. However, multiple issues are currently limiting the design and development of these services for reaching their full impact. Based on a recent field study, we present the criteria for a mobile climate service app for small-scale farmers in Namibia. It will be based on the KaiOS "smart feature phone" platform, and combines holistically climate, weather and agricultural information in a form that guides the farmer through the agricultural cycle. The app is currently in its early development phase, with a set of pre-selected features being built. Further field work with the local farmers will define the final set of features and the eventual user interface (UI) design of the app.

Access to and Retention of Early School Leavers in Basic Technical Education in Kenya - Mwinzi, Dinah Changwony; Kelemba, Joy Kasandi (The Burden of Educational Exclusion, 2010)
Basic Technical Education in Kenya is fundamental to industrialization and national development (MSPNP, 2007). The objective of the reforms in Kenya is to improve access, equity and the quality and relevance of education and training at all levels. This chapter considers the revitalization of Youth Polytechnics (YPs) as a strategic approach to the development of technical competences in Kenya, especially for out-of-school youth. The YPs, which were once derided, have now become popular because of rising unemployment and many technological challenges in the workplace. Learners are admitted from different educational backgrounds, including those who left primary or secondary school early. The chapter provides a historical overview of basic technical education in Kenya, along with an analysis of early school leaving, the renewal of YPs, the Technical Industrial Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training (TIVET) initiative and a discussion of the issue of gender disparity. It finishes with a consideration of the challenges and dilemmas, which remain, followed by conclusions and recommendations.

Implemantation of the school programme of in service for the term (SPRINT) in selected basic schools of Chipata district of Zambia - Mwansa, Phillip (2010)
ABSTRACT The study was aimed at evaluating the implementation of the School Programme of In-service for the Term (SPRINT) in 10 sampled basic schools of Chipata District in the Eastern Province of Zambia. The specific objectives were to: assess the roles teachers and head teachers played in implementing SPRINT in basic schools; seek information on the challenges they faced; and find out ways of improving the implementation of School Programme of In-service for the Term (SPRINT) activities in basic schools. The research design used was a survey following quantitative and qualitative approaches. For triangulation purposes, other sources such as documentary analysis were employed. The study sample consisted of 119 respondents who were randomly selected from the population of all teachers, head teachers and school in-service coordinators of basic schools in Chipata District. Ninety nine (99) teachers and ten (10) head teachers completed questionnaires. Interviews were conducted with 10 School In-service Coordinators (SICs). Quantitative data were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and presented in form of tables of frequencies, percentages, bar graphs and pie charts. Interview and documentary analysis data were analysed qualitatively to come up with themes which were used to answer research questions. Findings indicated thatteachers, head teachers and School In-service Coordinators participated in INSET activities under the School Programme of In-service for the Term (SPRINT). Head teachers monitored the activities and teachers participated in planning for the activities. Effective implementation of SPRINT activities was hampered by: •Inadequate time, •Negative attitude of some teachers, •Low funding, •Inconsistency in monitoring and evaluation, •Lack of organisational and facilitation skills among school in-service coordinators, •Lack of school libraries, and •Inadequate equipment and educational materials at Teachers Resource Centres. Based on these findings, the following recommendations were made: There was need for extension in time for SPRINT activities; teachers needed to change their negative attitude towards INSET activities under SPRINT; school head teachers should regularly sensitize old and new teachers on government policy regarding school-based INSET activities through induction and/or orientation workshops. Government through the Ministry of Education should increase funding to school-based INSET programmes and assist schools to establish libraries, especially in rural and remote schools; School In-service Coordinators needed to be trained in organisational and facilitation skills and Teachers Resource Centres should be equipped with modern equipment and educational materials like computers, internet and library facilities to enable teachers to do research and get information required for their SPRINT meetings.

Provision of continuing professional development by resource centres in selected high schools of the Copperbelt province - Mwale, Kelly Kezala (2006)
The purpose of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of resource centres in providing Continuing Professional Development to high school teachers in the Copperbelt Province.Major concerns have been expressed by various stakeholders that not enough has been done in enhancing and strengthening the concept of Continuing Professional Development among high school teachers. The Teacher Resource Centres that are supposed to be custodians of In-service Training of Teachers(INSET) now Continuing Professional Development (CPD) are perceived not to have done enough. The establishment of Teacher Resource Centres throughout the country was meant to help upgrade the skills and competencies of teachers at both basic and high school levels. These Continuing Professional Development activities that should be on-going include School Programme of In-service for the Term (SPRINT), Demonstrate, Observe, Discuss and Implement (DODIS) and Subject Meeting at the Resource Centre (SMARC).A purposive sample of 8 teacher resource centres and 12 high schools giving the study a number of 84 respondents was selected.Data were collected by way of questionnaires, interviews and Focus Group Discussions. The major informants were the following: Headteachers, Heads of Department, Teachers and Resource Centre Coordinators.The results of the study revealed that Teacher Resource Centres were not effectively providing Continuing Professional Development (CPD) activities among high school teachers. The findings further revealed that the Continuing Professional Development activities such as School Programme of In-service for the Term (SPRINT), Demonstrate, Observe, Discuss and Implement (DODIS) and Subject Meeting at the Resource Centre (SMARC) were almost non-existent in high schools despite clustering them with basic schools.Generally, the findings indicated lack of commitment both by the coordinators in Resource Centres and school administrators. Further revelations by the study indicate that little or no effort has been given to school - based workshops, seminars, professional meetings and conferences. Additionally,constant monitoring of CPD activities was not given prominence by Resource Centre Coordinators hence the glaring lapses in the actual implementation of Continuing Professional Development programmes.Further analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data revealed that there was lack of significant advocacy and sensitisation on the difference between Continuing Professional Development activities and In-service Teacher Education tenable at colleges of education and universities. In view of the research findings, recommendations were made. Teacher Resource Centres ought to enhance advocacy and sensitisation of Continuing Professional Development activities. Pedagogical competences and skills would be strengthened at high school level if Teacher Resource Centres played their expected role of providing Continuing Professional Development to teachers. The study has also shown that school administrators did not apportion equal weight to Continuing Professional Development as they did with sporting activities. There is need to give both areas equal attention.

Construction craft skills requirements in sub-Saharan Africa: A focus on Zambia - Muya, Mundia; Price, Andrew D.f.; Edum-Fotwe, Francis T. (Engineering, Construction and Architectural Management, 2006)
Purpose – As the development agenda for sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) gains momentum, it has become necessary to refocus attention on effective and sustainable human resource development strategies for the construction sector in the region that include craft skills. Aims to provide insight into the availability and quality of construction craft skills in Zambia, and the SSA region in general. Design/methodology/approach – Using Zambia as a country case study, results of a survey that was designed to assess the construction industry's perceptions of the quality and availability of construction craft skills in Zambia are presented. The surveyed contractors' support for the introduction of a sector-specific training levy in Zambia was also investigated and is reported. Findings – Findings point to both poor quality and shortage of construction craft skills in Zambia. Results suggest that construction sector-specific training levy would be the most viable, sustainable and industry-wide supported option for supplementing government funding in the training of construction craft skills in Zambia, and probably in the SSA region. Research limitations/implications – The survey was exploratory in nature and depth, and SSA is a vast and diverse region. The results of the case study may not correctly reflect construction skills exigencies across the whole SSA region. Originality/value – The results provide information and advice for both policy makers and contractors concerned with construction crafts skills issues in Zambia, and SSA in general. © 2006, Emerald Group Publishing Limited

Overview of funding for construction craft skills training in Sub-Saharan Africa: A case study of Zambia - Muya, Mundia; Price, A. D F; Edum-Fotwe, F. T. (Construction Management and Economics, 2006)
The wealth of any nation is ultimately based on its human resource or social capital. Education and training are the primary vehicles of developing this resource. Funding of formal construction craft skills training at trade institutions in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is examined, using Zambia as a country case study. The data in the research were collected via semi-structured questionnaire interviews directed at government financed trades training schools offering construction programmes in Zambia. Results of the research show that formal construction craft skills training in Zambia has not been adequately funded over the years resulting in: ill-qualified low numbers of poorly remunerated teaching staff; poorly maintained infrastructure and workshop facilities not well equipped for teaching purposes; and out-dated curricula of construction craft programmes. A wide range of measures is required to improve funding for construction craft skills training. These include: increased training regulation and co-ordination by government, development of efficient and effective funding mechanisms that involve employers of crafts-persons, and training provision frameworks that encourage increased involvement of private training providers. © 2006 Taylor & Francis.

Student Teachers School Experience in Zambia: Experiences and Challenges - Mutale Mulenga, Innocent; Bwalya, Katongo (EAST AFRICAN JOURNAL OF EDUCATION AND SOCIAL SCIENCES, 2022)
The purpose of this study was to establish challenges and experiences faced by student teachers during teaching practice in Zambia. The study employed the concurrent embedded design. Data was collected from 280 respondents including 200 student teachers, 30 host school deputy head teachers and 50 lecturers. The study employed a questionnaire, focus group discussion and an interview to collect data from the respondents. The study established some challenges which can serve as learning points for teacher educators and administrators in institutions of higher learning that are running teacher education programs. The challenges include the struggle of maintaining low costs while having a high quality school experience, lecturers hurrying through the supervision process, the tendency to involve non-lecturers to supervise students and students lack of adequate support during the school experience period. The school experience period was adequate and students had a number of benefits from it although some institutions had it at the end of the program. It was therefore recommended that school experience be continually evaluated by both the Ministry of Education and institutions that provide teacher education programs in Zambia and that the length of the school experience period be maintained so as to enhance the benefits that student teacher drew from it. It was further recommended that institutions preparing teachers should make sure that school experience is done during the teacher education period and not at the end of it so that students and their lecturers evaluate the experience before the end of the program.

Developing Skills to Unlock Kenya’s industrial Growth: The Influence of Provision of Modern Teaching and Learning Equipment in TVET in Kenya - Musyimi, Caroline (Journal of Learning for Development, 2021)
This study explores the influence of modern teaching and learning equipment on improving vocational education quality and employment rates and its long-term effect on Kenya’s journey to achieve industrialisation by the year 2030. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey research design. Stratiﬁed random sampling was used to sample 172 students. Data was collected using questionnaires and analysed through the theoretical lenses of globalisation and vocationalism. The results show that the provision of modern equipment has improved Kenyan TVET classrooms to meet industrial standards and allowed the development of essential skills. Also, there has been improved collaboration between TVET institutions and local industries, exposing TVET students to the real labour market while still in college. The TVET students had also improved confidence in themselves and they had acquired employability skills. The findings of this study further revealed that the government of Kenya has increased its efforts in revitalizing the TVET institutions with modern teaching and learning equipment to improve the quality of training in those institutions.

Teaching with and Learning through ICTs in Zimbabwe's Teacher Education Colleges. - Musarurwa, C (US-China Education Review, 2011)
The use of ICTs (information and communication technologies) in Zimbabwe’s teacher education colleges is of paramount importance. The teacher trainees have a dual role to play: learning through ICTs and also learning how to teach through them. Interestingly, the rate at which schools have embraced the use of ICTs is unprecedented, but this has not been matched with an equal effort by teacher education colleges and hence teacher trainees have been less exposed and trained in using such technologies. Evidently, this has created a mismatch between the need for teachers who are conversant with ICTs and e-learning and their availability. This paper stems from a pilot programme in which the author was an active participant. It reflects on efforts made to integrate ICTs into the teacher education curriculum and evaluates the impact that this programme will have on teacher education in Zimbabwe.

Designing the Course and Curricula for Teacher Development, Open School and Vocational Education through Media Education in Eritrea - Murthy, C. S. H. N. (Educational Media International, 2006)
Since Eritrea became independent in 1993, efforts have been underway to revise and update the conventional education curriculum. With a determination to quickly bridge the growing knowledge gap between Eritrea and the rest of the world, the Eritrean Government has decided on media education as a sustainable alternative. This choice is in line with developments emerging from many African, Asian and Latin American countries as the only option in line with the philosophy of UNESCO and the Association for Development of Education in Africa (ADEA). It is against this backdrop that a strategy paper "Media education in Eritrean education" was developed. This paper formed the basis of the developments discussed in this article.

The Importance of Teacher-Student Relationships for Adolescents with High Incidence Disabilities - Murray, Christopher; Pianta, Robert C. (Theory Into Practice, 2007)
In this article the authors examine the theoretical and empirical basis of teacher-student relationships. They focus specifically on the importance of supportive teacher-student relationships in the lives of adolescents with high-incidence disabilities. Students receiving special education services in these categories are at a heightened risk of experiencing social, emotional, and mental health problems. School-based programs and practices designed to promote supportive relationships between teachers and students with disabilities have the potential to provide these students with much needed support within the contexts of schools. A number of factors that can enhance teacher-student relationships including school and classroom structures, teacher beliefs and practices, and social-emotional curricula are presented and discussed.

COVID-19 and emergency eLearning: Consequences of the securitization of higher education for post-pandemic pedagogy - Murphy, Michael P. A. (Contemporary Security Policy, 2020)
The COVID-19 pandemic quickly led to the closure of universities and colleges around the world, in hopes that public health officials’ advice of social distancing could help to flatten the infection curve and reduce total fatalities from the disease. Drawing on Copenhagen school securitization theory and analyzing 25 declarations of emergency eLearning at American universities, I argue that in addition to COVID-19 being framed as a general threat, face-to-face schooling was also presented as a threat through these policies. A review of securitization theory—with particular attention to the question of advocacy and the relationship of desecuritization to emancipation—grounds the investigation theoretically. I argue that securitization theory is an important tool for educators not only for observing (and understanding) the phenomenon of emergency eLearning, but also for advocating the desecuritization of schooling after the COVID-19 crisis passes.

Conceptualization of competency based curricula in pre-service nursing and midwifery education: A grounded theory approach - Muraraneza, Claudine; Mtshali, Gloria Ntombifikile (Nurse Education in Practice, 2018)
In health professional education, the competency-based curriculum concept has been an important driver of reform in the training of competent graduates for the 21st century. In African countries, although there has been implementing it in pre-service nursing and midwifery education and the literature reports a lack of understanding of what is it on the part of the implementers. This article explores the meaning of competency based curriculum in pre-service nursing and midwifery education in Rwanda. A grounded theory approach, following Corbin and Strauss, was used. Following ethical clearance by the university ethical committee, data was collected from 17 participants through in-depth individual interviews of staff. Four categories emerged: (a) transformation, (b) tool for primary health care philosophy, (c) technological approach to education, (d) and modular system. Competency-based curriculum is confirmed as an appropriate educational tool in producing competent graduates for today and the future.

Disrupting Education? Experimental Evidence on Technology-Aided Instruction in India - Muralidharan, Karthik; Singh, Abhijeet; Ganimian, Alejandro J. (American Economic Review, 2019)
We study the impact of a personalized technology-aided after-school instruction program in middle-school grades in urban India using a lottery that provided winners with free access to the program. Lottery winners scored 0.37 sigma higher in math and 0.23 sigma higher in Hindi over just a 4.5-month period. IV estimates suggest that attending the program for 90 days would increase math and Hindi test scores by 0.6 sigma and 0.39 sigma respectively. We find similar absolute test score gains for all students, but much greater relative gains for academically-weaker students. Our results suggest that well-designed, technology-aided instruction programs can sharply improve productivity in delivering education.

Cycling to School: Increasing Secondary School Enrollment for Girls in India - Muralidharan, Karthik; Prakash, Nishith (American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, 2017)
We study the impact of an innovative program in the Indian state of Bihar that aimed to reduce the gender gap in secondary school enrollment by providing girls who continued to secondary school with a bicycle that would improve access to school. Using data from a large representative household survey, we employ a triple difference approach (using boys and the neighboring state of Jharkhand as comparison groups) and find that being in a cohort that was exposed to the Cycle program increased girls’ age-appropriate enrollment in secondary school by 32 percent and reduced the corresponding gender gap by 40 percent. We also find an 18 percent increase in the number of girls who appear for the high-stakes secondary school certificate exam, and a 12 percent increase in the number of girls who pass it. Parametric and non-parametric decompositions of the triple-difference estimate as a function of distance to the nearest secondary school show that the increases in enrollment mostly took place in villages that were further away from a secondary school, suggesting that the mechanism of impact was the reduction in the time and safety cost of school attendance made possible by the bicycle. We also find that the Cycle program was much more cost effective at increasing girls’ secondary school enrollment than comparable conditional cash transfer programs in South Asia.

Effectiveness of Student Psychological Support Services at a Technical and Vocational Education and Training College in South Africa - Munyaradzi, Muchineripi; Addae, David (Community College Journal of Research and Practice, 2019)
In this case study research, the effectiveness of psychological support services rendered to students at a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) college in South Africa is explored. Using the systems theory of psychology, the article postulates that students at TVET colleges encounter a myriad of psychological challenges, which can adversely affect their academic success. From an interpretivist paradigmatic standpoint, a sample of 30 students was purposively selected to participate in focus group interviews. It was found out that psychological support services improved students' academic performances, attendance, retention, and also enhanced college certification rate. It is recommended that institution need to establish linkages with key stakeholders such as the Departments of Higher Education and Training and Health, psychological professional bodies, and other TVET colleges in order to create a platform for sharing vital information on psychological support to students.

Comparative Analysis of Comfort Temperature of School Children and Their Teachers - Munonye, Charles; Ngobili, Michael; Umeora, Chukwunonso; Oluchi, Ifebi; Maduka, Nkechi; Onwuzuligbo, Chijioke (Research & Development, 2023)
Thermal comfort in learning environments influences the student’s focus and learning productivity. This study aims to evaluate and compare the adaptive thermal comfort of schoolchildren and their teachers in naturally ventilated primary schools in some selected cities in Imo State Nigeria. To achieve these objectives, the study analyzed the data collected from 330 pupils and 44 teachers in six surveyed classrooms in two types of classroom buildings. The recorded data in the surveyed classrooms consisted of four environmental factors and two personal factors. At the same time, the subjects filled out the questionnaires asking them about thermal sensation and thermal preferences against the classrooms’ thermal requirements. The results of the measurements showed that the indoor mean air temperature, relative humidity, and air velocity were 29.1°C, 71.2%, and 0.19m/s, respectively. The mean thermal sensation votes of the children were +0.16 while that of their teachers was +0.58. The preferred temperatures were 27.4°C and 29.4°C for the schoolchildren and the teachers, respectively. Furthermore, the comfort range of the students was between 25.8°C - 31.6°C, and that of the teachers was between 28.0°C - 29.9°C. Based on the results of this study conducted in primary school buildings located in warm and humid climates, the thermal comfort perception of children and adults differ. This information will serve as a guide to professionals in the built environment, especially architects when designing primary school buildings in the warm and humid climates.

Interactions between school systems and reading Recovery programmes – evidence from Northern Ireland - Munn, Penny; Ellis, Sue (The Curriculum Journal, 2005)
Recent work on raising attainment in education has raised theoretical issues about organizational responses to innovation and qualitative aspects of programme implementation. In particular, the ‘depth’ of an implementation (the extent to which a programme actually changes the educational interactions between pupils and their teachers) is now thought to be as important as its ‘spread’ (the number of schools in which it is replicated). Such issues, together with the existing literature on Reading Recovery implementation, suggest that it is time to review the models of implementation held within the Reading Recovery community. We used a range of methods at four levels of data collection to analyse variation in ‘depth’ of implementation in a countrywide Reading Recovery programme. From our findings we conclude that Reading Recovery has achieved resounding success as an individual programme, but that it would be still more efficient if the models of implementation were to be reviewed.

The Effect of Mathematical Self-Efficacy on High Order Thinking Accelerated Learning Learning Inferentialism Approach - Mulyono; Ramadan, Yoshida Agung; Masrukan (Atlantis Press, 2020)
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of mathematical self-efficacy on higher- order thinking skills with the accelerated learning model inferentialism approach. The study was conducted using a type of combination research in which the design taken was sequential exploratory. The research subjects were based on the results of the self-efficacy questionnaire which were categorized into three namely subjects for the high, medium and low categories, each chosen 2 subjects who could explain the settlement well. The results showed that mathematical self-efficacy influences students' higher-order thinking skills where subjects with high categories have higher-order thinking skills with good analysis, good evaluation and create new ones well. While the subject is still lacking in solving higher-order thinking skills where the subject is still unable to create something. The subjects with low self-efficacy have higher- order thinking skills who are less able to analyze and create but can evaluate. Then all subjects in learning accelerated learning approach inferentialism with the differences in mathematical self-efficacy, the score of each category for high and medium are the same but subjects with low categories are still.

Facilitating flexible learning by replacing classroom time with an online learning environment: A systematic review of blended learning in higher education - Müller, Claude; Mildenberger, Thoralf (Educational Research Review, 2021)
Higher education institutions are trying to provide more flexibility and individualization, which is mainly realized through the use of new technologies and implemented in online or blended learning designs. This systematic review aims to investigate the impact of replacing classroom time with an online learning environment. The meta-analysis (k = 21 effect sizes) applied strict inclusion criteria concerning research design, measurement of learning outcomes and implementation of blended learning. The estimated effect size (Hedge's g) was positive, although not significantly different from zero and the confidence interval [-0.13, 0.25], suggesting that overall differences between blended and conventional classroom learning are small, and, at best, very small negative or moderate positive effects are plausible. This means that despite a reduction in classroom time between 30 and 79 per cent, equivalent learning outcomes were found. Consequently, blended learning with reduced classroom time is not systematically more or less effective than conventional classroom learning.

Adoption of Self-Directed Learning: A Case Study of Kenya Jua Kali Sector - Muli, Elizabeth M.; Opiyo, Elisha T.O.; Oboko, Robert O. (2019 IST-Africa Week Conference, IST-Africa 2019, 2019)
© 2019 The authors. This study examines the state of the Education sector in Kenya with regard to provision of education to all. There is a remarkable progress in education reforms, however, cohort analysis from standard 1 to university education indicates that only 2% of pupils who enrol for standard 1 actually progress to 1st year of university education. Cumulatively, this wastage has led to a remarkable loss of potential human resource in the country. It is in the light of this the Government of Kenya has embarked on a series of reforms to address these challenges and meet the goals of the Kenya Vision 2030. The Education sector lacks alternate pathways to promote lifelong learning for those who drop out of formal education for some reasons and would wish to pursue further education later in life. These people end up in the Jua Kali sector. This study explores the potential of self-directed learning to give a second chance and provide learning opportunities to youths and young adults in this sector. This will equip them with necessary skills to manage their small businesses profitably.

Analysis of factors affecting pupil performance in Malawi’s primary schools based on SACMEQ survey results - Mulera, David Mc W.J.; Ndala, Ken Kaziputa; Nyirongo, Richard (International Journal of Educational Development, 2017)
The paper employs techniques of multilevel modelling and geographical information systems (GIS) on Malawi’s SACMEQ1 I, II and III data to identify factors aﬀecting pupil performance in primary education of Malawi. The study reveals that in some districts pupils performed much better than others. Whilst in majority of cases the achievement levels of pupils were closely associated with the levels of inputs and services, there were some districts that did not demonstrate a positive correlation. The analysis further shows that pupils’ low socioeconomic status, high pupil-teacher ratios and the more time head teachers spent in teaching other than on school management were more signiﬁcant factors that negatively aﬀected pupil performance.

Teacher’s Voices Crying in the School Wilderness: Involvement of Secondary School Teachers in Curriculum Development in Zambia - Mulenga, Innocent Mutale; Mwanza, Christine (Journal of Curriculum and Teaching, 2019)
In Zambia, curriculum development for primary and secondary schools is done centrally. The Curriculum Development Centre (CDC), the institution placed with the responsibility of facilitating curriculum development, claims that the Zambian school curriculum is developed through a consultative and participatory approach through course and subject panels where teachers and other stakeholders are represented. However, there has been no empirical evidence to suggest the roles that teachers, who are the major implementers of the same curricular, are required to play in the development process. This study therefore, sought to establish perceptions of secondary school teachers on their role in the curriculum development process in Zambia. The concurrent embedded design of the mixed methods approach was employed with the qualitative approach dominating the study while the quantitative was used to add detail. Data from secondary school teachers was collected using questionnaires while interview guides were used for Head teachers. Raw data collected from interviews and questionnaires was analyzed using themes and descriptive statistics and then arranged into significant patterns so as to easily interpret and understand the essence of the data. The findings of the study clearly suggested that the majority of secondary school teachers in Lusaka were willing to participate in the curriculum development process, especially in situational analysis, in the formulation of educational objectives, in setting up the curriculum project, and in the writing of curriculum materials such as textbooks. From the study it was concluded that teachers were aware of some of the roles that they could play in the curriculum development but were not adequately involved in the development process.

Curriculum Implementation Strategies of Education Standards Officers in Choma District of Zambia: A Critique of their Effectiveness - Mulenga, Innocent Mutale; Mooya, Eugine (2021)
Effective curriculum implementation by teachers is recognised as a lynchpin for achieving educational goals of any education system that leads to improved learner outcomes. In this article, authors make a critique of the effectiveness of Education Standards Officers’ (ESOs) curriculum implementation strategies that were used to support teachers’ effective teaching and learning in Choma district of Zambia. They set the arguement by riding on the six premises of Fullan’s curriculum implementation model against the contemporary backdrop and knowledge that ESOs monitoring and evaluation roles are critical to effective curriculum implementation in schools. In this qualitative study, researchers identified and critiqued strategies that were employed by ESOs in the contemporary milieu of Choma district. Using interview guides and focus group discussions guides, data was collected from head teachers and teachers in five, public secondary schools. Additionally, interview guides were also used to collect information from ESOs themselves. Findings pointed to the fact that curriculum implementation strategies such as formation of subject associations, follow-up visits and the recommendations from ESOs and the use of common schemes of work in schools did not yield desired results in terms of supporting teachers to improve their teaching based on what ESOs identified as areas of need during their school visits. In fact, it was also noted that ESOs missed a golden opportunity to practice clinical supervision and to make lesson demonstrations as they interacted with teachers. Arising from the factors which led to this scenario, researchers make two main recommendations. They first and foremost suggest that the Ministry of Education needs to provide sufficient funding to aspects of curriculum implementation at both the district and school levels. Researchers also recommend that ESOs should consult teachers and their administrators as they come up with curriculum implementation strategies in order to have them aligned with the realities of the schools.

The concept of competence in the development of vocational education and training in selected EU member states: a critical analysis - Mulder, Martin; Weigel, Tanja; Collins, Kate (Journal of Vocational Education & Training, 2007)
This contribution follows the descriptive review of Weigel, Mulder and Collins regarding the use of the competence concept in the development of vocational education and training in England, France, Germany and the Netherlands. The purpose of this contribution is to review the critical analyses brought forward by various authors in this field. This analysis also remarks on the most important theories and critiques on the use of the competence concept in the above‐mentioned states, The systems of vocational education within the four states covered in this study are: the National Vocational Qualifications in England, the approach to learning areas in Germany, the ETED and the bilan de compétences in France, and the implementation of competence‐based vocational education in the Netherlands, and these are the respective focal points for the critical assessments of the competence concept presented here. These critiques encompass such aspects as the lack of a coherent definition of the concept of competence, the lack of a one‐to‐one relationship between competence and performance, the misled notion that employing the concept of competence decreases the value of knowledge, the difficulties of designing competence‐based educational principles at the curriculum and instruction levels, the underestimation of the organizational consequences of competence‐based education, and the many problems in the field of competence assessment.

A Critical Review of Vocational Education and Training Research and Suggestions for the Research Agenda - Mulder, Martin; Roelofs, Eline (2011)
This paper gives a description of research in the field of Vocational Education and Training (VET). The field of VET research is quite scattered, so giving a full overview is hardly possible. Nevertheless, the VET research presented at the European Conference of Educational Research 2011 (Berlin) is reviewed, as well as the content of a number of VET research journals of publication year 2011. Research themes and topics are defined, and according to the categories the research is reviewed. The conclusions of the review are: 1. there is a large amount of research on VET which is quite diverse and fragmented; 2. much VET research lacks theoretical and empirical foundation; the dominant research methods are case and desk studies and explorative and analytical studies. There are hardly any experiments and intervention and design-based research studies; 3. there are various urgent topics for further research, which are elaborated in the paper.

Teacher professional development outside the lecture room: Voices of professionally unqualified practicing teachers in rural Zimbabwe secondary schools - Mukeredzi, Tabitha Grace (Global Education Review, 2016)
Attempts to address global pressure to achieve Education for All have been hampered by two fundamental challenges in developing countries, namely an acute shortage of teachers and large rural populations in these countries. In addition there is a trend for qualified competent teachers to shun working in rural settings. While recruitment of professionally unqualified graduate teachers into the teaching profession has become internationally acclaimed to address in particular rural school postings and Education for All commitments, there remain outstanding questions regarding how such teachers professionally learn and grow in these rural contexts outside the Teacher Education Institution lecture room. An understanding of how they develop professionally is crucial. The study explored professional development experiences of professionally unqualified practicing teachers in rural secondary schools. A qualitative design was adopted and three-interview series complimented by photo elicitations were employed to explore the teachers’ professional development experiences. Data were transcribed and manually analysed inductively utilizing open coding. Findings suggest that professional development experiences for these teachers occurred in four sites: school structures, wider professional sites, planned and unplanned gatherings, and the classroom. Drawing on concepts around professional development to describe, analyse and understand data, I illustrate that professionally unqualified practicing teachers in rural secondary schools experience professional development outside Teacher Education Institutions in interaction, through domains of formality and experience: non formal, informal and experiential.

From teacher oriented to student centered learning, developing an ICT supported learning approach at the Eduardo Mondlane University, Mozambique - Muianga, Xavier; Klomsri, Tina; Tedre, Matti; Mutimucuio, Inocente (TOJET: The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology, 2018)
Eduardo Mondlane University (UEM) is in the process of modernizing its teaching and learning approaches. As one of the pedagogical reform projects, student-centred learning (SCL) in combination with web 2.0 tools was introduced as a pilot in the course ‘ICT in Environmental Education’ in the Faculty of Education. This study explored - using action research strategy - to what extent the new pedagogical approach contributed to students’ competency development. Twenty-nine students were involved in the course, eight semi-structured interviews with students were combined with sixteen classroom observations and 8 weeks how students used the Learning Management System (LMS) and web 2.0 tools. Results showed that collaborative E-learning supported the development of students’ information management and problem solving skills as well as their metacognitive strategies for self-regulated learning. ICT supported problem based learning contributed to an increased intrinsic motivation. However, not all students were ready to adopt an active role. At the start they looked upon teaching as a one-way knowledge transfer. This study recommends that E-learning initiatives in Mozambique should always go together with an ICT literacy course and training in 21st-century learning skills.

Challenge of integrating entrepreneurial competencies into technical college programs - Muhammad, Abubakar Ibrahim; Kamin, Yusri Bin; Wahid, Nur Husna Binti Abd (International Journal of Engineering and Advanced Technology, 2019)
© 2019, Blue Eyes Intelligence Engineering and Sciences Publication. All rights reserved. For a country to keep abreast of being competitive in global economy technical and vocational education must play a critical role. For long time, technical and vocational education disciplines have been in cache, living graduates unable to connect learned knowledge with real life problems. The emergence of integrating technical education with entrepreneurial competencies in some institutions in Nigeria advocates transformative changes both at the conceptual and technological levels. One of the challenge facing technical education in Nigeria is lack of appropriate entrepreneurial competencies in the content of technical college curriculum. The purpose of the study was to explore the challenge facing the integration of entrepreneurial competencies into the technical college curriculum. This study uses phenomenological research design method was guided by interview protocol, thus the data were qualitatively collected. This research involved ten experts from three technical institutions in Kano state Nigeria based on their educational background, field of teaching and experience in entrepreneurship education. The study found that poor funding, lack of qualified teachers, inappropriate curriculum and negative attitude toward on entrepreneurship education are the main challenges hindering the integration of entrepreneurial competencies into technical college programs in Nigeria. It is recommended that the need for an appropriate entrepreneurial competencies for technical college programs this will facilitate easy and rapid self-employment among the graduates to enable them become novice entrepreneurs for self-reliance. Consequently, 20 per cent of public expenditure should be allocated to bridge the gap in funding education.

Effective Strategies for Integrating Project Based Learning into Woodwork Technology Education and Understanding at Tertiary Institutes in Nigeria - Muhammad Umar Isa; Yusri Bin Kamin (International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning (iJET), 2019)
The purpose of this examination is to research viable methodologies for in-corporating Project-based Learning (PoBL) in instructing and learning Woodwork Technology Education (WTE) at tertiary foundations in Nige-ria. A mixed-method approach including both quantitative and subjective technique was utilized for the investigation. The example of the examination involved 50 in-administration postgraduate understudies from Nigerian tertiary foundations concentrating Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in University Teknologi Malaysia for the quantitative perspective and 9 in-administration postgraduate understudies for the subjective part. A 16-thing organized poll was utilized for quantitative information accumulation while semi-organized meeting convention was utilized for subjective information gathering. Quantitative information was investigated utilizing SPSS programming variant 24 to process the rate and intend to demonstrate the degree of understanding or difference on things of the survey. NVIVO 12 was utilized for subjective data examination. Mem-ber check and pear questioning were utilized to build up the reliability of the interview convention. The principal discoveries of the examination un-covered that PoBL has not been embraced in WTE educating and learning at tertiary establishments of Nigeria, and the conventional instructional methodology including lecture, demonstration and task have been the instructional methodologies received. It was additionally uncovered from the discoveries that rebuilding of WTE educational plan at tertiary organizations in Nigeria to concentrate on a student-focused methodology, just as sorting out courses and workshops for WTE speakers to be familiar with the utilization of PoBL in WTE instructing and learning as a component of the successful techniques for incorporating PoBL in instructing and learn-ing WTE at tertiary establishments in Nigeria. PoBL is appropriate in the instructional procedures of courses like WTE which include intellectual and psychomotor aptitude procurement. At long last, the deficiencies of studies identifying with PobL in Nigeria illuminates the need to attempt this examination in WTE at tertiary organizations.

An analysis of pre-service family planning teaching in clinical and nursing education in Tanzania - Muganyizi, Projestine S; Ishengoma, Joyce; Kanama, Joseph; Kikumbih, Nassoro; Mwanga, Feddy; Killian, Richard; McGinn, Erin (BMC medical education, 2014)
Doc number: 142 Abstract Background: Promoting family planning (FP) is a key strategy for health, economic and population growth. Sub-Saharan Africa, with one of the lowest contraceptive prevalence and highest fertility rates globally, contributes half of the global maternal deaths. Improving the quality of FP services, including enhancing pre-service FP teaching, has the potential to improve contraceptive prevalence. In efforts to improve the quality of FP services in Tanzania, including provider skills, this study sought to identify gaps in pre-service FP teaching and suggest opportunities for strengthening the training. Methods: Data were collected from all medical schools and a representative sample of pre-service nursing, Assistant Medical Officer (AMO), Clinical Officer (CO) and assistant CO schools in mainland Tanzania. Teachers responsible for FP teaching at the schools were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. Observations on availability of teaching resources and other evidence of FP teaching and evaluation were documented. Relevant approved teaching documents were assessed for their suitability as competency-based FP teaching tools against predefined criteria. Quantitative data were analyzed using EPI Info 6 and qualitative data were manually analyzed using content analysis. Results: A total of 35 pre-service schools were evaluated for FP teaching including 30 technical education and five degree offering schools. Of the assessed 11 pre-service curricula, only one met the criteria for suitability of FP teaching. FP teaching was typically theoretical with only 22.9% of all the schools having systems in place to produce graduates who could skillfully provide FP methods. Across schools, the target skills were the same level of competence and skewed toward short acting methods of contraception. Only 23.3% (n = 7) of schools had skills laboratories, 76% (n = 22) were either physically connected or linked to FP clinics. None of the degree providing schools practiced FP at its own teaching hospital. Teachers were concerned with poor practical exposure and lack of teaching material. Conclusions: Pre-service FP teaching in Tanzania is theoretical, poorly guided, and skewed toward short acting methods; a majority of the schools are unable to produce competent FP service providers. Pre-service FP training should be strengthened with more focus on practical skills. Promoting family planning (FP) is a key strategy for health, economic and population growth.

Challenges in the training of teachers through open and distance learning: Implications for quality - Mubika, KA; Bukaliya, R (Asian Journal of Social Sciences & Humanities, 2013)
This study aimed at establishing the challenges that may have affected the training of teachers through ODL at the Zimbabwe Open University. The study was carried out in order to put in place a model that may be implemented to improve the quality teacher training programme. The study adopted the case study design for the gathering the in-depth perceptions held by the given population. Questionnaires, telephone interviews and documentary analysis were adopted for data collection. The population of the study consisted of the National Programme Leader, Regional Programme Coordinators and graduate diploma students and their former school heads. Thirty-three members of the population constituted the sample for this study. Among other findings, results of the study show that while the training of teachers was a very viable undertaking at ZOU, existing collaboration between the schools and the training institution was very informal. Teaching practice faced numerous problems such as inadequate funding and unavailability of teaching practice vehicles. The study recommended that there be collaboration among all the stakeholders. There is also need for the setting up of a Teaching Practice Department which should be fully equipped with to enable the smooth flow of teaching practice supervisory activities.

COVID-19 and Technology Enhanced Teaching in Higher Education in sub-Saharan Africa: A Case of the University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania - Mtebe, Joel S.; Fulgence, Katherine; Gallagher, Michael (Journal of Learning for Development, 2021)
This article aims to share an experience on the process taken by the University of Dar es Salaam to adopt and deliver technology-enhanced teaching and learning during the COVID-19 crisis. The university started by forming a team which conducted an audit to identify existing ICT infrastructure, skills gaps amongst instructors, and information systems that could be quickly adopted to deliver various courses during the COVID-19 crisis. The Moodle system, Zoom video conferencing system, and Postgraduate Information Management System were identified and recommended. After the audit, 340 instructors were trained on identified systems and 369 new courses were developed. Although face-to-face classes resumed a few months after the training and preparations, postgraduate courses continued to be offered via the blended mode with the Zoom and Moodle systems being used. The experience gathered from this study contributes towards knowledge of ICT integration in teaching and learning and can be integrated into teaching during the COVID-19 crisis in resource-constrained universities in sub-Saharan Africa and beyond.

Developing learning diaries for action research on healthcare management in Ghana, Tanzania and Uganda - Mshelia, Comfort; Lê, Gillian; Mirzoev, Tolib; Amon, Samuel; Kessy, Ambrose; Baine, Sebastian Olikira; Huss, Reinhard (Action Research, 2016)
© 2016, © The Author(s) 2016. Action research (AR) can be an effective form of ‘on the job’ training. However, it is critical that AR cycles can be appropriately recorded in order to contribute to reflection and learning. One form of recording is for coresearchers to keep a diary. We found no previous literature describing the use of diaries in AR in sub-Saharan Africa. We therefore use this paper to reflect on how diaries were used by district health management teams in the PERFORM project. We share five lessons from our experience. First, it is important to foster ownership of the diary by the people who are responsible for filling it in. Second, the purpose of keeping a diary needs to be clear and shared between researchers and practitioners from the very beginning. Third, diaries should be allowed to evolve. Fourth, it is a challenge for busy practitioners to record the reflection and learning processes that they go through. Last, diaries on their own are not sufficient to capture reflection and learning. In conclusion, there is no best way for practitioners to keep a diary; rather the focus should be on ensuring that an AR recording process (whether diary or otherwise) is locally owned and complements the specific practice setting.

A secure model for storage and dissemination of examination results: A case study of Zambia technical education vocational and entrepreneurship training authority - Mseteka, Lister; Phiri, Jackson (Journal of Computer Science, 2019)
© 2019 Lister Mseteka and Jackson Phiri. Most developing countries and public higher institutions of learning have low levels of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and hence face challenges in securing information and information systems. Therefore, dissemination of examination results through web and mobile applications usually raise security concerns on how to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of students' examination results due to susceptibility of web and mobile applications. In this study, we are proposing a secure model for storage and dissemination of students' examination results using encryption and cryptographic hash functions to simultaneously provide confidentiality, integrity and authenticity assurances of students' examination results. The study is based on Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training Authority (TEVETA), an examination body in Zambia. A baseline study was conducted to determine the challenges faced by TEVETA and students regarding dissemination of students' examination results. Data was collected from 558 respondents consisting of 514 students, 36 members of staff in-charge of examinations in TEVETA registered institutions and 8 TEVETA ICT staff. The results from the study indicate that the current TEVETA examination cycle business processes have a number of irregularities. These include candidate registration, storage of students' examination results and dissemination of students' examination results. The results from the baseline study were used to come up with the model which was then used to develop a prototype. The results obtained from the test and evaluation of the developed prototype based on the model shows that the system provides an avenue to ensure the confidentiality of students' results through encryption as well of integrity and authenticity of students' examination results through detection of altered students' examination results during transmission and storage through cryptographic hash function.

A Literature Review of E-Learning and E-Teaching in the Era of Covid-19 Pandemic - Mseleku, Zethembe (2020)
The emergence of Covid-19 pandemic undoubtedly resulted in devastating socio-economic challenges across the world. In attempt to manage the contagion, many countries have implemented restrictive measures to reduce social gatherings and to promote social distancing. This meant the closure of higher learning institutions and a major shift from traditional classroom-based teaching and learning to virtual approach. While higher education may have transformed and moved to online due to Covid-19, it is unknown whether this transformation produces positive teaching and learning outcomes. This literature review is conducted to elicit relevant evidence on E-learning and E-teaching outcomes, challenges and opportunities in the era of Covid-19 pandemic.

Strategy for South African public libraries to bridge the digital divide - Mphidi, Hamilton Hamilton (University of Pretoria, 2017)
This thesis reports on a study that investigated the role of public libraries in addressing the digital divide in South Africa. The study started in 2006. This study addressed the main research question: "How should a theoretical model look for South African public libraries to contribute to bridging the digital divide?" The central research problem was further addressed by asking the following questions: • What are the scope and implications of the digital divide? (These include the meaning of the concept, the dimensions and the factors leading to the digital divide.) • What has been reported on the role of libraries (including information services) in bridging the digital divide? • What have libraries in South Africa done to address the digital divide, and which possibilities are foreseen? • How can South African libraries be positioned to contribute to bridging the digital divide? The study followed a survey method using interviews with directors of Provincial Library Services (or their representatives), which are the controlling bodies of public libraries in South Africa, questionnaires distributed to representative staff members of participating public libraries in Gauteng, Limpopo and KwaZulu-Natal and individual interviews with selected heads/representatives of public libraries in Gauteng, Limpopo and KwaZulu-Natal. Data collected through the questionnaires were both quantitative and qualitative. Data was collected between 2011 and 2012. Quantitative data were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), while qualitative data from interviews were analysed by content analysis and thematic categorising of information. In October 2015 a follow-up study of limited scope was conducted with three representatives from the three provincial library services to establish developments since the first round of data collections. Seven out of nine directors of Provincial Library Services in South Africa participated in the study. Furthermore, 247 public libraries from Gauteng, Limpopo and KwaZulu-Natal out of 463 public libraries and 18 heads/representatives of public libraries participated in this study. Findings on the opinions expressed on the role of public libraries in bridging the digital divide include the following: providing access to information and communication technologies (ICTs), offering information literacy and ICT literacy training, providing information to reduce the gap between "haves" and "have-nots", providing communities with equal, free access, reaching out and spreading ICTs to those who may not have online access and support and facilitating and promoting information exchange and communication between citizens and the government. The overall findings from the study were that although provincial library services have documents containing information on their mission and vision, their mission and vision statements do not address the digital divide or shed any light in this regard. The study found that provincial library services aimed to support public libraries to provide information resources, services to communities and access to information through ICT via targeted fund transfers to municipalities. None of the provincial library services included in the study had an explicit policy and strategies aligned to its vision and mission to guide and enable it in addressing the digital divide. Although all provincial library services included in the study had access to computer facilities in their headquarters, there were still disparities in the number of computer facilities available. It was also found that none of the provincial library services had its own website at the time of the study. They depended on the websites of their parent organisations. The study found that very few provincial library services had information technology (IT) units/departments charged with the responsibility of taking care of ICT facilities. They depended on external ICT service providers or the IT departments of their parent organisations to maintain the library's ICT infrastructure.

The Influence of Covid-19 on Students’ Learning: Access and Participation in Higher Education in Southern Africa - Mphahlele, Ramashego; Seeletso, Mmabaledi; Muleya, Gistered; Simui, Francis (Journal of Learning for Development, 2021)
Recent experiences of institutions in COVID 19 have heightened the need for research on its impact on higher education institutions globally. This article’s authors are from higher learning institutions in Botswana, South Africa and Zambia, which used a blended learning model before COVID 19. The majority of their students used the traditional part of blended learning, depending on the print, postal service, and face-to-face. These students’ access and participation in learning during COVID 19 were negatively affected. Using Digital Equity as a framework, this paper explores the influence of COVID 19 on students’ access and participation in online learning. There seem to be significant disparities in access and participation in high-quality technologies and severe educational inequities. This digital inequality impact calls for civic awareness in digital literacy among the citizenry if the gap between the rural and urban, have and have not digital immigrants and digital natives are to be bridged.

Education 2.0: A Vision for Educational Transformation in Egypt - Moustafa, Nariman; Elghamrawy, Ebtehal; King, Katherine; Hao, Yu (Claire); Hao, Yu (Education to Build Back Better: What Can We Learn from Education Reform for a Post-pandemic World, 2022)
Abstract This chapter presents a comprehensive description and analysis of Egypt’s Education 2.0 (EDU. 2.0) reform plan for grades K-2. The reform’s five key components are described including the new multidisciplinary curriculum, technology integration, school management Continuous Professional Development (CPD), access and infrastructure, and reformed assessment. We analyze this reform from five perspectives and conclude that a cultural shift, high-quality CPD, and a robust accountability system are imperative to sustainable educational reform in Egypt. This cannot be achieved without a shared vision and engagement between teachers, parents, and Egypt’s Education Ministry.

Le renforcement de la formation technique et l’industrialisation en Afrique subsaharienne : le cas du Gabon - Moussone, Emmanuel; Metougue Nang, Prosper (Marché et organisations, 2018)
The objective of this article is to analyze the relationship between the technical training, the skills and the setting up or development of various industries in a developing country by focussing on Gabon. The issues addressed are diverse and varied and more particularly, they relate to the contribution of technical training to the progress of industry and techniques, to the conditions of and needs for economic and social development and finally to innovation, a thread by which all those elements are interconnected. The study shows that the post-colonial economic processes of income and cooperation set up since the independences did not allow for a long time to further on the one hand true skills transfers and one the other hand the setting up of industries. Now, in the face of the current changes in the international environment, the technical training appears as a sufficient condition for acquiring skills essential to the appropriation of innovations and the setting up of industries.

Aligning the principles of assessment for learning to learning in physical education: A review of literature - Moura, André; Graça, Amândio; MacPhail, Ann; Batista, Paula (Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2021)
Background: A comprehensive international literature review on alternative assessment in physical education has been provided by López-Pastor et al. ([2013]. “Alternative Assessment in Physical Education: A Review of International Literature.” Sport, Education & Society 18 (1): 57–76). The authors remarked that while more authentic forms of assessment in physical education have been evidenced over the last three decades, the extent to which alternative assessment practices have become common practice in the teaching of physical education is yet to be established.Purpose: This review provides an updated perspective on the prevalence of assessment for learning (AfL) principles in physical education discourse since the 2013 publication. The intent is to inform and consider future AfL practices in school physical education and physical education teacher education (PETE) programmes.Methods: Eligibility criteria for the review required full-text articles written in English or Spanish; published (open access and/or in print) in peer-reviewed, academic and professional journals; and limited to the period 2013–2019. Inclusion criteria required articles to report assessment being used to promote learning in physical education, regardless of making reference to ‘assessment for learning’.Findings: Fifty-two articles met the inclusion criteria. A thematic analysis of these articles resulted in four themes: i) traditional positioning of assessment in physical education; ii) AfL and physical education; iii) the constraints in enacting AfL in physical education; and iv) how to most effectively embed AfL in daily physical education practices.Conclusions: The main conclusions of this review are that i) AfL is a learning-oriented assessment based on socio constructivist theories and integrated into the teaching-learning process, ii) physical education teachers continue to use assessment solely to grade students; iii) physical education teachers do not have the necessary skillset to use AfL in physical education successfully; iv) physical education teachers need to be supported to implement AfL; and v) it is necessary to consider how best PETE programmes can infuse AfL across the programme.

Professional Development for Primary School Teachers in Cameroon: Is the Cascade PD Model Effective? - Moulakdi, André; Bouchamma, Yamina (Creative Education, 2020)
Teacher professional development (TPD), a constant concern on the minds of education leaders, is conducted in various ways in education systems around the world. Using Guskey’s professional development assessment model, we evaluated a cascade model of teacher professional development in Cameroon’s primary education system by examining the responses of the teachers who experienced these activities. Our findings indicate that the professional growth activities undertaken in cascade format, particularly professional development (PD) days, teacher evaluations, demonstration and group lessons did not adequately address the teachers’ training needs and expectations and this because this model of training is not suitable to improve teaching practices in the context.

WhatsApp supported language teacher development: A case study in the Zataari refugee camp - Motteram, Gary; Dawson, Susan; Al-Masri, Nazmi (Education and Information Technologies, 2020)
This paper explores the possibilities and challenges of using the social media tool WhatsApp to support language teacher development in the Zataari refugee camp in Jordan. It takes a sociocultural perspective on teacher development where WhatsApp is a mediating tool in the broader sociocultural landscape. A thematic analysis of the postings and exchanges from the WhatsApp group revealed three main uses of the WhatsApp chat: for interpersonal interactions, for professional development, and for organisational purposes. The analysis suggests the WhatsApp group contributed to the teachers’ English language knowledge, provided a platform for them to share and discuss issues related to the challenges of their particular context, enabled them to contribute to the development of some teaching materials and begin to address some of the issues they had in a meaningful way. It also raises issues of participation, access, equity and sustainability. We conclude by suggesting there is good potential for the use of social media tools such as WhatsApp for teacher development in challenging contexts, despite the contextual constraints observed and described. While this specific case involves language teachers, the general findings can potentially be applied to any teacher education or training context where access to training or education might be curtailed for a number of reasons, including the most recent changes enforced by the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Education and Fragility: A Synthesis of the Literature - Mosselson, Jacqueline; Wheaton, Wendy; Frisoli, Paul St John (2009)
The purpose of this paper is to provide a synthesis of the emerging literature in the field of education and fragility. We examine the various attempts to capture the contexts of fragility in a pragmatic manner, from both an operational and a policy-making perspective. We review the macro, statecentric definitions of fragility, which highlight the importance of the state and its institutions in driving fragility and as a partner for change, but also look at the limitations of this perspective. We then turn to more micro-level approaches to capturing the contexts of fragility, showing its difference from conflict, and looking in particular at more cross-sectoral and societal characteristics of fragility. Ultimately, we conclude this paper by acknowledging that, in practical terms, practitioners and donors are using both perspectives to guide their work in education and fragility.

Human Resource Development (HRD) through Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) during Independence Days in Kenya - Mosoti, Z (International Journal of Social and Policy Issues, 2011)
I have traced the history and evolution of HRD through IVET during independence days. I relied on Kenya's NDPs and the education commissions appointed by political leaderships (Kenya's two past presidents) to look at the development and processes of education and ways that have been suggested to improve education. I have discussed these through the NDPs and the commissions appointed by the presidents of the time. The information has been presented using a chronological, thematic and, again chronological method. Additional information includes changes in curriculum during the same period. The first part considers the period from independence in 1963 to 1987 and the second part 1988 to 2005.

A computational literature review of the technology acceptance model - Mortenson, Michael J.; Vidgen, Richard (International Journal of Information Management, 2016)
A literature review is a central part of any research project, allowing the existing research to be mapped and new research questions to be posited. However, due to the limitations of human data processing, the literature review can suffer from an inability to handle large volumes of research articles. The computational literature review (CLR) is proposed here as a complementary part of a wider literature review process. The CLR automates some of the analysis of research articles with analyses of impact (citations), structure (co-authorship networks) and content (topic modeling of abstracts). A contribution of the paper is to demonstrate how the content of abstracts can be analyzed automatically to provide a set of research topics within a literature corpus. The CLR software can be used to support three use cases: (1) analysis of the literature for a research area, (2) analysis and ranking of journals, and (3) analysis and ranking of individual scholars and research teams. The working of the CLR software is illustrated through application to the technology acceptance model (TAM) using a set of 3,386 articles. The CLR is an open source offering, developed in the statistical programming language R, and made freely available to researchers to use and develop further.

A Roadmap for Measuring Distance Learning: A Review of Evidence and Emerging Best Practices - Morris, Emily; Farrell, Anna; Venetis, Emma (USAID, 2021)
As countries around the world have closed learning institutions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, teaching and learning have pivoted from in-person instruction to distance learning. Simultaneously, there has been a surge in efforts to promote access to distance learning programming. Distance learning is commonly used to reach learners who need flexible learning opportunities, as well as to reach groups excluded from formal education institutions. As countries and education agencies take up distance learning, it is important to design and implement evidence-based strategies for monitoring and evaluation to measure whether distance learning efforts are serving the intended communities and achieving intended objectives. The purpose of this review is to support education practitioners, donors, implementers, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), civil society organizations, and other stakeholders in applying best practices to monitor and evaluate distance learning initiatives designed for diverse learners and implemented both within and outside of learning institutions. Broad input, review and feedback on early drafts of this toolkit were solicited and incorporated from the education sector in Washington, D.C. and Missions.

Vocational Education and Training through Open and Distance Learning: World review of distance education and open learning - Moran, L; Rumble, G (2004)
The world needs workers with more and better skills. Conventional apprenticeships and old methods of professional training are not providing enough skilled workers, so governments, companies and colleges are all using open and distance learning to fill these gaps. This unique international review of experience looks at the policies needed in both the private and the public sector for effective vocational education and training at all levels – from basic skills to continuing professional education. It goes on to examine the new roles of information and communication technologies, establishing what we know about their performance, and identifying the choices to be made in applying technologies to vocational education and training. The book will help senior institutional managers and policy makers to understand and appreciate: • the role distance education can play in increasing skills levels in young people and the existing workforce; • the potential advantages and disadvantages of using technology, and therefore make better-informed choices about technology use; • how to integrate distance education with traditional educational models and approaches.

Exploring Five Online Collaboration Tools to Facilitate a Professional Learning Community - Moore, Julie A. (TechTrends, 2018)
Critical Friends Groups (CFGs) are a form professional learning community that has been used for teacher learning in K-12 environments for many years. In order to foster community and learning amongst distributed participants, CFGs are beginning to make their way online. This article describes the expereience of a four-year old online CFG whose goal was to explore how different technologies can support the work of a virtual CFG by being an online CFG. This article describes the technologies used to host this CFG, the attributes of those technologies to support this collaborative work and the lessons learned from the group’s experience.

Queer identity and theory intersections in mathematics education: a theoretical literature review - Moore, Alexander S. (Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2021)
Researchers have become aware of a need to focus on the continued development of gender and sexuality research in mathematics education, as frameworks and conceptual perspectives have been difficult to operationalize, particularly outside of the heteronormative categories of cis-male and cis-female studies. Early pioneers of this work have proposed intersectionality theory (e.g., Leyva, 2017) and queer theories (e.g., Dubbs 2016; Esmonde 2011; Sheldon and Rands 2013) as promising lenses for conceptualizing such research, as they allow for critical postmodern engagement by avoiding many of the structuralist gender commitments that have previously prevented it. In this paper, I build on this work by employing the notion of mathematical identity. I perform a systematic, theoretical review of the literature to articulate a basis for the intersection of mathematical identity and queer identity. I articulate the theoretical basis for this intersection of identities by building a framework that illustrates the intersectional nature of mathematical and queer identities and gives scholars a tool for conceptualizing future work in this area. This paper issues a call to the field to embrace the uncertainty of this new research borderland, because it is only through a radical vision of identity research in mathematics education—such as is offered here—that researchers can begin to situate students’ participation in mathematics within larger social and economic systems that have yet to be analyzed in depth with respect to queer identity.

Can new modes of digital learning help resolve the teacher crisis in sub-Saharan Africa? - Moon, Bob; Villet, Charmaine (Journal of Learning for Development, 2017)
Sub-Saharan Africa, more than any other part of the world, is experiencing a crisis in finding sufficiently qualified teachers to meet the needs of expanding school systems. The professional development support provided to serving teachers is also inadequate in most countries. The most recent data on learner outcomes has revealed a worrying picture of significant under-achievement across the region. This paper argues that the teacher education and training structures of the last century will never be able to meet urgent contemporary needs. Given population growth, especially among the young, large-scale expansion of the teaching force and the associated teacher education systems will be the norm through to the middle years of the century and beyond. In this context the paper argues for a significant policy shift to expand quality teacher education and professional support at scale through a more school-based and digitally supported network model of provision. Examples of current digital programmes within the region are considered as well as the new technologies that are emerging with relevance to teacher education. The paper suggests a three-phase process through which national governments might move in making the necessary changes in policy and practice.

School-based teacher development in Sub-Saharan Africa: building a new research agenda - Moon, Bob (The Curriculum Journal, 2007)
This article explores and analyses the context of school-based teacher development in Sub-Saharan Africa. The argument is made that many aspects of the teacher problem in these regions mirror those in the rest of the world, but the size and scale of the need makes the challenge of providing schools and teachers to achieve ‘Education for All’ (EFA) one of the world's biggest educational problems. As such, a response from the global community, parallel to similar initiatives in health, is required. The context of the problem is set out, particularly the inevitability of creating new school-based modes of teacher development. The analysis draws extensively on the work of the Teacher Education in Sub-Saharan Africa (TESSA) research programme. The article then goes on to suggest: (1) the revolution in communication technologies provides an opportunity radically to reassess the forms and modes of teacher development, particularly in rural areas; and (2) there is a need for research and development activity to provide the foundation upon which such potential can be realized. In this context a new ‘architecture for teacher development’ needs putting in place, a process that should be a mainstream concern for the world's education research community.

The role of new communication technologies and distance education in responding to the global crisis in teacher supply and training: an analysis of the research and development experience - Moon, Bob (Educação & Sociedade, 2008)
Introduction Who does not remember a good teacher? Even so, it can have many appearances. In fact, teachers can be inspiring, conscientious, caring, and often dedicated. A few are lucky enough to have all these characteristics and more. In all societies, the teacher is the figure who inspires myths, stories, memories. Strong emotions surround the teacher's role: trust, deference, love and sometimes fear. In rural communities, the village's primary teacher, along with a priest, a prefect, and an elder, traditionally provided a moral orientation that mediated between the newly emerged states and the communities they sought to hold together. However, at the beginning of the 21st century, these folk ideas about "the teacher" are called into question. In many parts of the world, the vocation of teaching presents the features of a crisis. Almost every country is struggling to hire enough teachers. In some regions (sub-Saharan Africa, for example), problems of recruitment, retention and teacher training are an acute problem. This article will examine how this crisis is taking place, and more particularly the organizational and logistical challenges associated with providing sufficient education and training to the millions of new teachers needed to expand education systems. Special attention will be given to the contexts of the developing world, where significant international efforts are being made to overcome what could be called the greatest educational challenge in the world. This article will also examine the research and development experience of a number of open and distance learning programs, with particular emphasis on the emerging role of new information and communication technologies, including "open educational resources" (Open Educational Resources ).

Supranational Political Economy: the Globalisation of the State-Market Relationship. - Montani, Guido (Routledge, 2018)
With the ending of the Cold War and the rise of a nationalistic 'America First' strategy, the post-war liberal international order, based upon the hegemonic power of the USA, is fading away. In its place, a multipolar world is emerging which, while offering some the hope of a better future, is also open to disorder and instability. This book offers an insight into the relationship between politics and economics in this new era. As an alternative, this volume argues for a form of global governance that will offer a better balance between politics and economics, based on a supranational approach. A supranational approach in which world powers and UN member states can work in agreement would follow the principle on which European political and economic integration was built. The system put forward here is based on a Keynesian world clearing union and a reform of the World Trade Organization and a United Nations budget, which would accelerate the convergence of rich and poor countries in the aim of a more sustainable global system. This book demonstrates that globalisations and today's ecological challenges are both a cause of social discontent and an opportunity. Supranational institutions can greatly increase our ability to address global risks, and this book shows how a 'supranational' world order could reduce the uncertainty of the transition from the post-war order to the future multipolar order. The supranational principle enables us to view globalisation, world capitalism and the ecological crisis not only as causes of inequality, poverty and social instability, but also as processes that can be governed. Wise politicians and political parties cannot let the future of humanity be decided by the precarious equilibrium of the Westphalia system. In post-war Europe a group of nation states, once fierce enemies, embarked on a process of integration which led to the abolition of inter-European national borders. With supranational global governance, the same could be achieved in the global system.
