Mathematics Education in East Africa: Towards Harmonization and Enhancement of Education Quality - Halai, Anjum; Tennant, Geoff (Springer Nature, 2016)
*THIS BOOK WILL SOON BE AVAILABLE AS OPEN ACCESS BOOK* This book is a valuable resource for policymakers and practitioners as it brings insights mainly from developing countries where relatively less research activity takes place. It is also a valuable resource for courses in mathematics education in the teacher education colleges, and departments of education in the sub-Saharan Africa region. In the increasingly global and technological world mathematics is seen as a significant gatekeeper of opportunities for social and economic advancement and mobility. Hence, countries and development agencies in the broader sub-Saharan Africa region are looking towards increasing access to relevant and high-quality secondary education as a lever towards economic development. Policy makers and other key decision makers in education look towards improvement in mathematics teaching and learning as a key focus in education reform. In the East Africa region also a number of initiatives have been taken at the national level in the respective countries to improve the quality of mathematics education. This book provides an in-depth comparative analysis of the developments and issues in mathematics education in Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda, and advances our understanding of the state of secondary mathematics education in East Africa.

E-Learning in nursing education in Rwanda: benefits and challenges. An exploration of participants' perspectives - Harerimana, A; Mtshali, NG; Hewing, H (Journal of Nursing and Health Science, 2016)
E-learning is a commonplace in nursing and healthcare professional education, and generally the importance of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and the Internet in tertiary education is recognized. The entry visa for e-learning is a computer and an Internet connection [1]. The aim of this paper is to analyse the utilisation of e-learning in selected nursing campus in Rwanda. A convergence parallel mixed method was use as recommended by Creswell[2]. For quantitative survey, a total of 275 participants responded to the questionnaires, and for qualitative approach, a total number of 40 participants were purposively selected. Quantitative data was analysed using SPSS 23, and for qualitative data, thematic analysis was used. The finding from this study indicated that participants were ready and eager to embrace e-learning in nursing education due to a number of benefits they reported such e-learning being a student centred approach, being a blended learning method, and fast track for the production of nursing workforce taking into consideration the history of Rwanda. However it was found that a number of challenges were hindering a proper implementation such as: resource constraints, insufficient teachers and students training in ICT, language barrier, lack of policies regarding e-learning, resistance to change, issues related to Moodle accessibility.

Tablet use in schools: a critical review of the evidence for learning outcomes - Haßler, Björn; Major, Louis; Hennessy, Sara (Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2016)
The increased popularity of tablets in general has led to uptake in education. We critically review the literature reporting use of tablets by primary and secondary school children across the curriculum, with a particular emphasis on learning outcomes. The systematic review methodology was used, and our literature search resulted in 33 relevant studies meeting the inclusion criteria. A total of 23 met the minimum quality criteria and were examined in detail (16 reporting positive learning outcomes, 5 no difference and 2 negative learning outcomes). Explanations underlying these observations were analysed, and factors contributing to successful uses of tablets are discussed. While we hypothesize how tablets can viably support children in completing a variety of learning tasks (across a range of contexts and academic subjects), the fragmented nature of the current knowledge base, and the scarcity of rigorous studies, makes it difficult to draw firm conclusions. The generalizability of evidence is limited, and detailed explanations as to how, or why, using tablets within certain activities can improve learning remain elusive. We recommend that future research moves beyond exploration towards systematic and in-depth investigations building on the existing findings documented here.

Does living in a community with more educated mothers enhance children's school attendance? Evidence from Sierra Leone - Kamanda, Mamusu; Madise, Nyovani; Schnepf, Sylke (International Journal of Educational Development, 2016)
In Sierra Leone girls are 23.4% less likely to attend secondary education than boys. This difference between sexes increases the gender gap in educational attainment since women's education is positively associated with children's educational wellbeing. This paper investigates the relationship between children's school attendance, their mothers’ level of education, as well as the overall level of women's education at the community level in Sierra Leone using multilevel statistical modelling techniques and the country's 2008 Demographic and Health Survey data. The findings suggest that, regardless of a child's own mother's education, an increase in the proportion of mothers with secondary or higher education in a community by 10% improves the probability of attending junior secondary school significantly by 8%; a 50% increase improves the likelihood of attending school by 45%. There was no significant relationship between the proportion of better educated mothers in a community and primary school attendance. However, relative to children whose mothers had no formal education, children whose mothers had attained primary, secondary or higher education were 7%, 14% and 22% more likely to attend primary school respectively. Future policies should seek to promote girls’ education at post-primary education and develop community based programmes to enable the diffusion and transmission of educational messages.

How does professional development improve teaching? - Kennedy, Mary M. (Review of Educational Research, 2016)
Professional development programs are based on different theories of how students learn and different theories of how teachers learn. Reviewers often sort programs according to design features such as program duration, intensity, or the use of specific techniques such as coaches or online lessons, but these categories do not illuminate the programs’ underlying purpose or premises about teaching and teacher learning. This review sorts programs according to their underlying theories of action, which include (a) a main idea that teachers should learn and (b) a strategy for helping teachers enact that idea within their own ongoing systems of practice. Using rigorous research design standards, the review identifies 28 studies. Because studies differ in multiple ways, the review presents program effects graphically rather than statistically. Visual patterns suggest that many popular design features are not associated with program effectiveness. Furthermore, different main ideas are not differentially effective. However, the pedagogies used to facilitate enactment differ in their effectiveness. Finally, the review addresses the question of research design for studies of professional development and suggests that some widely favored research designs might adversely affect study outcomes.

Influence of Trainee Teacher Philosophy about Teaching and Learning on Integration of Computer Technology into Future Teaching Practices - Kimaiyo, Lilian C; Kitainge, Kisilu M; Too, Jackson (American Journal of Applied Psychology, 2016)
The study sought to establish the influence of trainee teacher philosophy about teaching and learning on integration of computer technology into future teaching practices. This was done in the light of the fact that the Kenya government has launched the national laptop project in public primary schools which is expected to run from July, 2016.It is expected that the teachers who are undertaking training in Primary school Teacher Training colleges are key to effective implementation of computer use. The study was carried out in five public Teacher Training Colleges in the Rift Valley Province, Kenya. This study employed a correlational research design. The research population for the study was all teacher trainees in pubic teacher training colleges in Rift Valley. The colleges have a total population of 5,075 student teachers. Using a table of random numbers, the researcher then selected proportional samples from each stratum in every Teacher Training College to ensure that there was uniform representation of the different groups. The total sample from the five TTCs was 357 trainee teachers. The primary data was collected using a questionnaire consisting of two scales. The study established that there was a statistically significant influence of trainee teachers’ philosophy about teaching and learning on prospective ICT integration. Trainee teachers who believed that learners construct their own knowledge with the teacher as a guide scored highly on intentions to integrate ICT in the classroom than those who believed that the teacher is the source of knowledge. Trainee teachers who intended to use child-centered teaching practices viewed ICT integration positively. It is therefore important that teacher trainers in TTCs emphasize learner-centered teaching methods in order to promote ICT integration.

Do youth employment programs improve labor market outcomes? A systematic review - Kluve, Jochen; Puerto, Susana; Robalino, David A.; Romero, Jose Manuel; Rother, Friederike; Stöterau, Jonathan; Weidenkaff, Felix; Witte, Marc (RWI - Leibniz-Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung, 2016)
This study reviews the evidence on the labor market impact of youth employment programs. We analyze the effectiveness of interventions, and factors that influence program performance including country context, target beneficiaries, program design, implementation, and evaluation type. We identify 113 impact evaluations covering a wide range of methodologies, interventions, and countries. The meta-analysis synthesizes the evidence based on 2,259 effect sizes (Standardized Mean Differences) and the statistical significance of 3,105 impact estimates (Positive and Statistically Significant). Just more than one-third of youth employment program evaluations worldwide show a significant positive impact on labor market outcomes - either employment rates or earnings. In general, programs have been more successful in middle- and low-income countries; this may be because programs' investments are especially helpful for the most vulnerable population groups that they target. We conjecture that recent programs might have benefited from innovations in design and implementation. In middle-low income countries, skills training and entrepreneurship programs have had a higher impact. In high-income countries, the role of intervention type is less decisive - much depends on context and how services are chosen and delivered, a result that holds across country types. We find evidence that programs integrating multiple interventions more likely succeed because they respond better to different needs of beneficiaries. Results also point to the importance of profiling and follow-up systems in determining program performance, as well as to incentive systems for services provider

A school mental health literacy curriculum resource training approach: Effects on Tanzanian teachers' mental health knowledge, stigma and help-seeking efficacy - Kutcher, Stan; Wei, Yifeng; Gilberds, Heather; Ubuguyu, Omary; Njau, Tasiana; Brown, Adena; Sabuni, Norman; Magimba, Ayoub; Perkins, Kevin (International Journal of Mental Health Systems, 2016)
© 2016 The Author(s). Background: Mental health literacy (MHL) is foundational for mental health promotion, prevention, stigma reduction, and care; School supported information pertaining to MHL in sub-Saharan Africa is extremely limited, including in Tanzania. Successful application of a school MHL curriculum resource may be an effective way to increase teacher MHL and therefore help to improve mental health outcomes for students. Methods: Secondary school teachers in Tanzania were trained on the African Guide (AG) a school MHL curriculum resource culturally adapted from a Canadian MHL resource (The Guide) for use in Africa. Teacher training workshops on the classroom application of the AG were used to evaluate its impact on mental health literacy in a sample of Tanzanian Secondary school teachers. Pre-post training assessment of participant knowledge and attitudes was conducted. Help-seeking efficacy for teachers themselves and their interventions for students, friends, family members and peers were determined. Results: Paired t test (n = 37) results demonstrate highly significant improvements in teacher's overall knowledge (p < 0.001; d = 1.14), including mental health knowledge, (p < 0.001; d = 1.14) and curriculum specific knowledge (p < 0.01; d = 0.63). Teachers' stigma against mental illness decreased significantly following the training (p < 0.001; d = 0.61). Independent t tests comparing the paired sample against unpaired sample also demonstrated significant differences between the groups for teacher's overall knowledge (p < 0.001). Teachers also reported high rates (greater than 3/4 of the sample) of positive help-seeking efficacy for themselves as well as for their students, friends, family members and peers. As a result of the training, the number of students teachers identified for potential mental health care totaled over 200. Conclusions: These positive results, when taken together with other research, suggest that the use of a classroom-based resource (the AG) that integrates MHL into existing school curriculum through training teachers may be an effective and sustainable way to increase the MHL (improved knowledge, decreased stigma and positive help-seeking efficacy) of teachers in Tanzania. As this study replicated the results of a previous intervention in Malawi, consideration could be given to scaling up this intervention in both countries and applying this resource and approach in other countries in East Africa.

Achieving teaching quality in sub-Saharan Africa: Empirical results from cascade training - Lange, Sarah; Benavot, Aaron (Springer VS, Wiesbaden, 2016)
© Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden 2016. Sarah Lange examines the effectiveness of cascade training, which constitutes a cost-effective training model in teacher training. In development cooperation countries, teaching quality is expected to improve with teacher professional development; for this purpose, she explores the effectiveness of training multipliers in schools in Cameroon. This research question is analysed with a design, which encompasses a questionnaire survey provided to teachers, students and principals as well as a teacher video survey and a student achievement test. The empirical results show the effects of cascade training on the learner-oriented teaching practice, if the trained teachers are supported in their role as change agents. Among the conditions for the conceptual quality and the implementation of cascade training, the continuity of school-based professional development is particularly emphasized in light of the results.

The Use of Manipulatives in Mathematics Education - Larbi, Ernest; Mavis, Okyere (Journal of Education and Practice, 2016)
The study was designed to investigate the efficacy of using algebra tile manipulatives in junior high school students' performance. The study sample comprised 56 students from two schools purposely selected from two towns within the Komenda Edina Eguafo Abirem municipality. The students were made up of two groups; the experimental and the control group. Each group was taught the same algebra units over a period of four weeks. However, the experimental group was taught using algebra tile manipulatives whilst the control group was taught using the conventional "talk and chalk" method. The instruments used for data collection were mathematics achievement pretest and posttest. Students' achievements on the posttest were analysed using percentages, mean, standard deviation and the independent t-test. The findings of the study were that, those who were taught through extensive use of algebra tiles performed significantly better. Thus the use of the algebra tiles proved very effective and promising approach to teaching and learning algebra, and that the tiles also improved students' thinking process as they solved problems in algebra. On the basis of these findings, it is recommended that algebra tiles should be used as a tool to introducing students to algebraic concepts.

Blended Learning in the Vocational Education and Training System in Tanzania: Understanding Vocational Educators' Perceptions - Machumu, HJ; Zhu, C; Sesabo, JK (International Journal of Multicultural and Multireligious Understanding, 2016)
In a constructivist world of teaching and learning, opportunities to acquire and develop the knowledge and practical skills necessary to design, establish, and deploy blended learning in vocational education and training (VET) programs delivery is a labour-market-driven. The paper examines VET educator’s pleas about the need for the design, adoption and deployment of blended learning in VET programs delivery in Tanzania. A single case study design with an in-depth interview and focus group discussion was conducted with 15 VET educators in three VET colleges in both Morogoro and Dar es Salaam regions. Snowball and purposive sampling were used to obtain sample respondents. For the data analysis, content analysis was employed to condense data obtained from interviews and focus group discussion. It was found that continuous professional development, institutional arrangements, and support should be provided online to facilitate the design, adoption and use of blended learning in VET. We recommend that locally designed blended learning should be relevant to the environment of both students and teachers. In reality, the interplay between blended learning, imparting knowledge and practical skills remain the key focus of future research.

Enhancing access to education and training for persons with disabilities in Somalia and Somaliland - Maina, , L. (2016)
Ongoing civil war and extreme poverty has substantially increased the prevalence of disability in Somalia. Estimates suggest that 15-20% of the population have disabilities, with the average family having at least one member with disabilities. However, support for people with disabilities in Somalia remains low. Widespread discrimination leaves people with disabilities excluded from education and employment, and vulnerable to violence and abuse. This impacts on their participation in decision making and advocacy for their rights. In this article, Lucy introduces the work of the Africa Educational Trust (AET) project ‘Enhancing access to education and training for people with disabilities’, funded by the EU between 2012 and 2015.

Inclusiveness in the Vocational Education Policy and Legal Frameworks of Kenya and Tanzania - Malle, Abebe Yehualawork (Journal of Education and Learning, 2016)
This study examines the status of inclusiveness in the education and training policies of Ethiopia in comparison to those of selected East African countries. The focus is on vocational education in terms of the special educational and training needs of students with disabilities. Focus group discussions and interviews conducted in Kenya and Tanzania, relevant policy document analysis and the findings of Article 1 of the study were used as primary sources for the research. A total of 18 representatives of DPOs from Kenya and Tanzania participated in two sessions of focus group discussions, and 15 high-profile figures and experts from concerned government bodies of these study countries were interviewed. Most of the study participants agreed that the issue of disability was not adequately addressed in the education and training policies or the legal and implementation instruments of the study countries. The participants also proposed valuable recommendations.

Exploring the impact of the design of the physical classroom environment on young children with autism spectrum disorder ( ASD ) - Martin, Caren S. (Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, 2016)
In 2010, the C enters for D isease C ontrol ( CDC ) reported a 1600% increase in the number of individuals between the ages of 6 and 22 years with autism spectrum disorder ( ASD ). Knowledge about educational interventions for children with ASD is substantial; however, less is known about the design of supportive classroom environments where they learn. ASD experts believe that the early years in school, namely preschool through 6th grade, are critical in reaching children and establishing a foundation for their life‐long learning and general well‐being. In context of the human ecosystem theory that models the interaction between people and the natural, social and designed environments, this literature review of refereed sources (2000–2012) documented findings about interventions, that is, design criteria ( DC ) for incorporation into the physical classroom environment used by children with ASD . The majority of the studies was exploratory and presented DC that subsequently were not tested. Due to research method and/or sampling design, efficacy, reliability and validity of findings varied. Limited research (19 articles, 1 conference proceeding) addressing classroom DC leaves designers, teachers and school administrators substantially reliant on anecdotal information in terms of creating optimal learning environments to support inclusion of children with ASD . Additional research is needed to examine this critical design/human behaviour relationship via identification of evidence‐based DC to guide classroom design solutions that support learning by children with ASD .

Recognizing the Political in Implementation Research - McDonnell, Lorraine M.; Weatherford, M. Stephen (Educational Researcher, 2016)
The widely publicized opposition to the implementation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) is in marked contrast to its relatively uncontroversial development and adoption—a contrast that points to the importance of understanding how the politics of enactment differs from the politics of implementation. In this article, we draw on the research literatures on enactment, implementation, and policy feedback to outline the reasons that the politics of policy implementation may look quite different from the politics of enactment, and we argue that education researchers need to pay as much attention to the political sustainability of reforms as to their implementation into school-level practice. This essay is an exercise in retrieval and construction, looking back to early implementation studies that featured political factors as key components of their analytical frameworks but also building on the insights from newer research that uses policy feedback as its theoretical lens. In arguing why the analysis of a policy’s political sustainability should be more systematically integrated into implementation research, we draw illustrative examples from the CCSS.

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.

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

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

The Emerging International Knowledge Exchange Barrier in Virtual Teacher Communities - Pirkkalainen, Henri; Jokinen, Jussi; Pawlowski, Jan (Proceedings of the 20th International Academic Mindtrek Conference, 2016)
Openness in education has sought its way to practice in schools as in universities. Many strategies and concepts have emerged: from openly shared resources to open practices to improve the access to and the quality of education. The knowledge exchange of educators has been seen a crucial activity in reaching and sustaining openness. This article analyses a typical knowledge exchange activity in schools: European teachers were engaged in virtual OER communities to exchange teaching resources as well as experiences about using OER and ICT in education. We applied technology acceptance framework and studied a potential barrier of international knowledge exchange. The findings of the study show surprising results: the willingness to exchange teaching materials within global virtual teacher communities decreases as schools mature in using OER and ICT. This study serves especially as a discussion opener for sustaining discourse and peer support in teacher virtual communities that strive for openness and international knowledge exchange. The findings have strong practical implications for the open education domain as well as for school / teacher development in general.

Do extra hours of tutoring payoff? Evaluation of a community education programme in Bangladesh - Ruthbah, Ummul; Rabbani, Atonu; Hossain, Salim; Sarwar, Golam (Journal of Development Effectiveness, 2016)
Primary school dropout rate in Bangladesh is very high. Both the government and the NGOs have taken many initiatives to raise the quality of education and reduce the dropout rate. In this study we explore the impacts of supplementary tutoring provided to primary school students in different districts of Bangladesh. The goal of this programme is to reduce dropouts and to improve the class performance of the primary school students. We find that after-hour tutoring, offered to Grade 2 students, helped them to continue up to Grade 5. However, it did not exhibit any significant impact on test scores.

Human Resources for Health Challenges in Nigeria and Nurse Migration - Salami, Bukola; Dada, Foluke O.; Adelakun, Folake E. (Policy, Politics, and Nursing Practice, 2016)
© 2016, © The Author(s) 2016. The emigration of sub-Saharan African health professionals to developed Western nations is an aspect of increasing global mobility. This article focuses on the human resources for health challenges in Nigeria and the emigration of nurses from Nigeria as the country faces mounting human resources for health challenges. Human resources for health issues in Nigeria contribute to poor population health in the country, alongside threats from terrorism, infectious disease outbreaks, and political corruption. Health inequities within Nigeria mirror the geographical disparities in human resources for health distribution and are worsened by the emigration of Nigerian nurses to developed countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom. Nigerian nurses are motivated to emigrate to work in healthier work environments, improve their economic prospects, and advance their careers. Like other migrant African nurses, they experience barriers to integration, including racism and discrimination, in receiving countries. We explore the factors and processes that shape this migration. Given the forces of globalization, source countries and destination countries must implement policies to more responsibly manage migration of nurses. This can be done by implementing measures to retain nurses, promote the return migration of expatriate nurses, and ensure the integration of migrant nurses upon arrival in destination countries.

Factors affecting youth entrepreneurship development within Kibera, Kenya: The perspective of entrepreneurship education - Sambo, Wise (Problems and Perspectives in Management, 2016)
© Wise Sambo, 2016. All over the world there has been an increased interest in entrepreneurship education and the society in general. Kenya was among the first countries in Africa to introduce aspects of entrepreneurship education in its education and training systems. Entrepreneurship and business creation are a growing alternative for young people in different economies whose age group often faces a labor market with double digit unemployment rates. This study seeks to investigate and report on the factors affecting youth entrepreneurship development with specific reference to entrepreneurship education in Kibera, a district of Kenya. Two objectives are identified, namely (i) to determine the government's provision and access to the entrepreneurship education and training among the Kenyan youth, and (ii) to determine whether there is a relationship between the level of education, training and development of youth entrepreneurship. A sample of three hundred entrepreneurs (aged 18-35) within the Kibera district in Kenya is drawn to participate in this study. Structured survey questionnaires are used to collect primary data from business owners in the Kibera district. Findings revealed a strong positive correlation between the provision of entrepreneurship education and development of youth entrepreneurship and the level of education has a very weak positive correlation to youth entrepreneurship development. This study concludes with recommendations on how youth entrepreneurship can be improved in Kibera and the rest of Kenya. A total of 300 questionnaires were administered via emails with a total response rate of 83.3% (250) returned for analysis.

Girls' Schooling is Good, Girls' Schooling with Learning is Better - Sandefur, Justin; Oye, Mari; Pritchett, Lant (Background paper for the International Commission on Financing Global Education Opportunity, 2016)

Context-driven entrepreneurial education in vocational schools - Sandirasegarane, S; Sutermaster, S; Gill, A (International Journal for Research in Vocational Education and Training, 2016)
Vocational Education and Training (VET) is offered throughout the world to students of various educational backgrounds and career aspirations in an effort to create a skilled workforce. The structure of VET varies greatly across different fields and countries with high-growth, low-growth, and transitional economies. However, a common critique of many vocational institutions is that they focus on skills training without addressing related business systems. Thus, students may not understand the business strategies related to their field, which stifles job readiness and entrepreneurial potential. To counter this, a more context-driven and integrated entrepreneurial approach is proposed for VET. Benefits, disadvantages, and exemplars of various types of vocational and entrepreneurial programs are evaluated to determine how their strengths might be leveraged. Such integrated entrepreneurial and vocational training would more suitably address context-specific market needs via both practical and transferrable skills, thus helping to reduce unemployment, particularly among youth in sub-Saharan Africa.

Mobile learning bridging the gap in agricultural extension service delivery: Experiences from Sokoine University of Agriculture, Tanzania - Sanga, C; Mlozi, M; Haug, R; Tumbo, S (International Journal of Education and Development using Information and Communication Technology, 2016)
The ubiquitous nature of mobile phones offers a noble environment where farmers can learn informally anywhere, anytime and at any location. This is an innovative way to address some of the weakness of conventional agricultural extension service. Few empirical studies have reported on the development of mobile phone application to support blended learning for smallholder farming communities in developing countries. This study adopted a participatory action research method to develop innovative communication pathways in dissemination of agricultural information, agricultural knowledge and proven agricultural technologies from either extension agents or agricultural research centres or universities to farmers. The respondents who tested the system were selected random from 19 villages in Kilosa District, Tanzania. The developed systems support blended learning using mobile learning (m-learning) and electronic learning (e-learning). The findings from this study show that the systems can provide innovative mobile agricultural extension service to more than 380 smallholder farmers via web- and mobile-phone-based farmers’ advisory information systems.

Psychological Framework for Quality Technical and Vocational Education and Training in the Twenty-First Century - Sarfo, FK (Learning, Design, and Technology, 2016)
To cope with the rapid changes in the real world of work and to prepare the workforce to enter the twenty-first century, there is a paradigm shift in the modern Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) toward competency-based training (CBT) or vocational pedagogy. However, there is the lack of literature/research in TVET education that reveals the fundamental understanding and roles of contemporary learning theories in instructional psychology for creating successful competency-based learning environments for quality TVET teaching and learning. To contribute to the solution, this paper argues that there are significant relationships between (1) knowledge and skills and their associated learning processes required of modern TVET and (2) learning outcomes and their associated learning processes of the contemporary learning theories. In accordance with this assertion, an integrated learning theories for quality TVET education is proposed. The logic is that, supported by consistent empirical evidence as discussed in this paper, the conditions and instructional methods of the learning theories could be successfully used to design powerful competency-based learning environments to promote the development of technical and vocational expertise in TVET teaching and learning for the twenty-first century.

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

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

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

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

Conceptual understanding of definite integral with GeoGebra - Tatar, Enver; Zengin, Yilmaz (Computers in the Schools, 2016)
This study aimed to determine the effect of a computer-assisted instruction method using GeoGebra on achievement of prospective secondary mathematics teachers in the definite integral topic and to determine their opinions about this method. The study group consisted of 35 prospective secondary mathematics teachers studying in the mathematics education program at a state university in Turkey. The study was carried out using an embedded design, and the Definite Integral Knowledge Test and an opinion form were used for data collection. Upon analyzing the data, the computer-assisted instruction method using GeoGebra was found to positively contribute to the success of teaching the definite integral topic. Prospective teachers stated that this method should be used in math courses as it creates a fun and interesting environment with dynamic learning elements, provides visualization and opportunities to learn mathematics through practice and exercises, enables thorough understanding and explication of skills, and makes way for conceptual learning instead of memorizing. Furthermore, this study was found to facilitate conceptual learning of the relationship between the lower sum, upper sum and Riemann sum.

Factors Influencing The Adoption Of Flexible Teaching Approaches In Technical Training Institutions In Kenya - Tiony, AK; Ferej, A; Kitainge, K (2016)
The goal of training in technical training institutions is to produce highly skilled graduates with competencies to handle various challenges in technology oriented fields. The continuing need to improve the quality of education in Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is ever present. Therefore, effective teaching at these institutions is important to enhance quality of its graduates. This paper highlights the factors influencing the adoption of flexible approaches to teaching in technical training institutions in Kenya. Two specific objectives; establish how the syllabus content influences the adoption of flexible approaches to teaching; evaluate how institutional factors influence the adoption flexible approaches to teaching. The study was guided by a conceptual framework developed by the author. This study was conducted through descriptive research design. Data were collected from seven technical training colleges in Western Kenya. The method of data collection was through open and closed-ended structured questionnaires, and interview schedules. Collected data were coded in SPSS 17.0, (2008) and analysed using descriptive statistics. The study established that institutional managers had no authority to develop their own courses tailor made to suit specific needs in the market. The teaching resources that influence the adoption of flexible learning and teaching were also found to be unavailable in classrooms. Most institutions however had put in place strategic objectives to improve the quality of learning and teaching. Outputs from this study are expected to enhance the adoption of flexible learning in technical training institutions. In light of the findings of the study, it was recommended that the government of Kenya should establish a clear policy aimed at greater adaptability to flexibility. Institutions need to be granted authority to develop or reorganise syllabi for provision of industry specific solutions while being regulated to meet set international standards.

SABER-ICT Framework Paper for Policy Analysis : Documenting National Educational Technology Policies Around the World and Their Evolution over Time. - Trucano, Michael (World Bank Education, 2016)
The systems approach for better education results (SABER) - information and communication technology (ICT) policy framework is designed to help policymakers make better informed decisions about how best to use ICTs in pursuit of core developmental objectives in the education sector. It aims to aid and inspire education policymakers as they draft, re-consider, and evaluate key policies related to the use of ICT, especially within the formal education sector at the primary and secondary (K-12) level. The framework was constructed by analyzing and synthesizing policy documents from over 80 countries. The vast majority of these policies relate to formal schooling at the primary and secondary level; related official policy guidance for other parts of an education system, including at the level of early childhood development, technical, and vocational education (TVET) and higher education, as well as pertain to out-of-school and life-long learning, is comparatively rare. While the SABER-ICT framework was constructed through an analysis of national ICT and education policies, it is expected that it may be useful when attempting to analyze and benchmark related sub-regional policies (that is, at the provincial or state level) as well.

Technologies in education across the Americas: The promise and the peril – and some potential ways forward - Trucano, Michael (World Bank Education, 2016)
National educational technology agencies (‘ICT/education agencies’, and their functional equivalents) play important roles in the implementation and oversight of large scale initiatives related to the use of information and communication technologies in education in many countries. That said, little is known at a global level about the way these organizations operate, how they are structured, and how they typically evolve over time. By documenting emerging lessons from the histories of various national educational technology agencies and their functional equivalents, which are typically responsible for similar roles but which can differ radically in form by country and over time, it is hoped that this publication can help inform perspectives of decision makers considering how to create and support such an institution, the forms it might take, what roles it might take on, and how these forms and roles might be expected to evolve over time. Case studies from Korea (KERIS), Malaysia (Smart Schools), England (Becta), Chile (Enlaces), Armenia (NaCET), Uruguay (Plan Ceibal); Indonesia (PUSTEKKOM), Costa Rica (Omar Dengo Foundation), Thailand (Schoolnet Thailand), Australia (EdNA) and the Philippines are included, as well as a discussion of general lessons from international experiences, and pointers to other notable institutions around the world.

Building and Sustaining National ICT Education Agencies : Lessons from International Experiences - Trucano, Michael; Dykes, Gavin (World Bank Education, 2016)
National ICT/education agencies (and their functional equivalents) play important roles in the implementation and oversight of large scale initiatives related to the use of information and communication technologies in education in many countries. That said, little is known at a global level about the way these organizations operate, how they are structured, and how they typically evolve over time. Through an examination of lessons from the development and history of a set of representative ICT/education agencies in East Asia, and, to better understand East Asian experience, other countries around the work, this paper seeks to identify common challenges and issues and potential relevance to leaders of such institutions.

Effects of teaching activities via Google Sketchup and concrete models on spatial skills of preservice mathematics teachers - Uygan, Candaş; Kurtuluş, Aytaç (Turkish Journal of Computer and Mathematics Education, 2016)
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of teaching activities supported by Google SketchUp, which is a 3-Dimensional modeling software, and concrete models on the basic skills related to spatial ability in teaching geometric solids. The study sample consisted of 72 preservice teachers who were studying elementary mathematics education in 2009-2010 academic-year in a state-funded university in Central Anatolia, Turkey. This was an experimental study. The study used a pretest posttest control group design and included two experimental groups and a control group. One of the experimental groups was taught using Google SketchUp while the other one was taught with concrete model-aided teaching activities. The activities, designed for the control group, were carried out with some traditional teaching tools such as paper, pencil and classroom writing board. The Santa Barbara Solids Test (SBST) and the Purdue Spatial Visualization Test (PSVT) were used to measure spatial ability. The SBST measures the ability to mentally visualize the cross-sections of 3D objects. The PSVT consists of three parts: "Developments", which measures skills to visualize a 3D object based on its surface development; "Rotations", which measures skills to mentally rotate 3D objects; and "Views", which measures skills to visualize different views of 3D objects. The study identified significant increases in the scores received for all of the tests by the group using Google SketchUp, in the scores received for the SBST and Developments part by the group using concrete models, and in the scores received for only the Developments part by the control group. Also, the posttest average score received for the "Views" part by the experimental group using Google SketchUp was significantly higher than the score of the experimental group using concrete models and the control group.

Youth unemployment in resource-rich Sub-Saharan Africa: A critical review - Ackah-Baidoo, Patricia (The Extractive Industries and Society, 2016)
This paper critically reviews the youth unemployment crisis in resource-rich Sub-Saharan Africa. Although the region has experienced continuous and a seemingly limitless ﬂow of investment in all types of extractive industries in recent decades, this growth has not directly translated into signiﬁcant poverty reduction. Its overdependence on natural resources economically seems to have had a negative impact on socioeconomic development overall, generating very few jobs for youth and exacerbating existing unemployment crises. The paper uses Ghana, one the region’s top mineral-rich countries, as a case study to explore these issues further.

Academics who tweet: “messy” identities in academia - Budge, Kylie; Lemon, Narelle; McPherson, Megan (Journal of Applied Research in Higher Education, 2016)
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the growing use of Twitter in academic and artist practices. The authors explore commonalities, overlaps and differences within the reflections on the initial and ongoing motivations, usage and learnings the authors have encountered whilst immersed in this environment. Design/methodology/approach The authors locate the particular inquiry by drawing on the literature surrounding digital identities, academic literacies and digital scholarship. Departing from other studies, the focus is on a narrative inquiry of the lived experiences as academics and as artists using Twitter. Findings Academics use of Twitter plays a distinctly social role enabling communication that connects, and fostering accessible and approachable acts. It enables a space for challenging norms of academic ways of being and behaving. In addition, the authors draw conclusions about the “messiness” of the interconnected space that incorporates multiple identities, and highlight the risk taking the authors associate with using Twitter. Research limitations/implications Academic practice is ever changing in the contemporary university. This initial study of academic and artist practices and the use of Twitter suggests future developments including participants using similar questions to elicit notions of practice to engage in a deeper understanding of motivations and behaviours. Practical implications In using social media tools such as Twitter, individual academics and their practices are modified; the impact of this practice is visible. Originality/value The authors contribute to emerging discussions and understandings about academics, social media and identity. The authors argue that by participating in the use of Twitter, the authors are part of the collective process of challenging what it means to be an academic and artist.

Do boys and girls use computers differently, and does it contribute to why boys do worse in school than girls? - Fairlie, Robert W. (The BE Journal of Economic Analysis & Policy, 2016)
Boys are doing worse in school than are girls, which has been dubbed “the Boy Crisis.” An analysis of the latest data on educational outcomes among boys and girls reveals extensive disparities in grades, reading and writing test scores, and other measurable educational outcomes, and these disparities exist across family resources and race. Focusing on disadvantaged schoolchildren, I then examine whether time investments made by boys and girls related to computer use contribute to the gender gap in academic achievement. Data from several sources indicate that boys are less likely to use computers for schoolwork and are more likely to use computers for playing games, but are less likely to use computers for social networking and email than are girls. Using data from a large field experiment randomly providing free personal computers to schoolchildren for home use, I also test whether these differential patterns of computer use displace homework time and ultimately translate into worse educational outcomes among boys. No evidence is found indicating that personal computers crowd out homework time and effort for disadvantaged boys relative to girls. Home computers also do not have negative effects on educational outcomes such as grades, test scores, courses completed, and tardies for disadvantaged boys relative to girls.

Chapter 10 - Improving Education Outcomes in Developing Countries: Evidence, Knowledge Gaps, and Policy Implications - Glewwe, P.; Muralidharan, K. (Handbook of the Economics of Education, 2016)
Improvements in empirical research standards for credible identification of the causal impact of education policies on education outcomes have led to a significant increase in the body of evidence available on improving education outcomes in developing countries. This chapter aims to synthesize this evidence, interpret their results, and discuss the reasons why some interventions appear to be effective and others do not, with the ultimate goal of drawing implications for both research and policy. Interpreting the evidence for generalizable lessons is challenging because of variation across contexts, duration and quality of studies, and the details of specific interventions studied. Nevertheless, some broad patterns do emerge. Demand-side interventions that increase the immediate returns to (or reduce household costs of) school enrollment, or that increase students’ returns to effort, are broadly effective at increasing time in school and learning outcomes, but vary considerably in cost-effectiveness. Many expensive “standard” school inputs are often not very effective at improving outcomes, though some specific inputs (which are often less expensive) are. Interventions that focus on improved pedagogy (especially supplemental instruction to children lagging behind grade level competencies) are particularly effective, and so are interventions that improve school governance and teacher accountability. Our broad policy message is that the evidence points to several promising ways in which the efficiency of education spending in developing countries can be improved by pivoting public expenditure from less cost-effective to more cost-effective ways of achieving the same objectives. We conclude by documenting areas where more research is needed, and offer suggestions on the public goods and standards needed to make it easier for decentralized and uncoordinated research studies to be compared across contexts.

EVALUATION OF GROUNDWATER POTENTIAL OF CHANCHAGA AREA, MINNA, NORTH-CENTRAL NIGERIA - Akande, Waheed Gbenga; Abdullahi, Idris-Nda; Amadi, Nwanosike Amadi; Abdulfatai, Ibrahim Asema; Alabi, Adekola Amos; Yahaya, Tauheed (2016)
Inadequate potable water supply remains one of the challenges of residents of Minna Metropolis, Niger State, Nigeria owing to the basement complex terrain underlying the area. The rapid increase in population in the area, which is due to its proximity to the nation’s capital city (Abuja) among others, has led to a corresponding increase in the demand for potable water for domestic, irrigational and industrial uses which public water by government could not meet. Consequently, the inhabitants resort to seeking alternative arrangements for water through hand dug wells and surface water sources which are often of uncertain quality. Objectives: Thus, this study investigates the groundwater potential of Chanchaga area, Minna, North-central Nigeria with a view to delineating the suitable aquifer for groundwater development. Material and Methods: The technique employed for this study was Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) of the Electrical Resistivity (ER) method. A total number of twenty-three (23) Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) points were investigated using Schlumberger array configuration and the data obtained were analyzed using partial curve matching and computer iteration techniques. The data were interpreted to reveal various geoeletric layers that characterize the area. Results: The results revealed predominantly H-type curve typical of the basement complex system with three geoelectric layers: the top soil, weathered/fractured basement and fresh basement. The apparent resistivity of the first layer ranged from 25 Ωm – 928 Ωm with a corresponding thickness of 0.5 m – 3.1 m, second layer has apparent resistivity values of 8.3 Ωm – 41.3 Ωm with a corresponding thickness of 2.1 m – 33.0 m and the third geoelectric layer has apparent resistivity values ranging from 74 Ωm – 4173.5 Ωm with an infinite thickness. A careful examination and integration of the isopach map with the isoresistivity maps (at 30 and 40 metres depths) indicated that the central and northern parts of the study area have very low to low apparent resistivity values and shallow overburden which is capable of constituting shallow aquifer units. Conclusions: It is concluded that the central and northern parts of the study area have poor to marginal groundwater potential, and this is supported by the occurrences and concentration of fractures which can constitute weathered/fractured aquifers around these regions. It is recommended that water wells be drilled to an effective depth of 40 to 50 m for optimum groundwater yields, and that pumping test be carried out on the drilled wells in order to further determine the aquifer efficiency and productivity in the area.

Promoting Effective Education in Electromagnetics: Taiwan's School of Accessible and Visualized Electromagnetics Formed [Education Corner] - Liao, W. J.; Wu, R. B.; Wu, T. L.; Ma, T. G.; Pang, Y. H.; Tsai, Z. M.; Yu, H. H.; Tu, K. M.; Lin, H. C.; Peng, S. T. (IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine, 2016)
The School of Accessible and Visualized Electromagnetics (SAVE), a teaching and learning resource management consortium in Taiwan, has been formed to coordinate teachers from the field of electromagnetics (EM) to develop and share innovative teaching materials. Based on the cloud concept and following the simplicity, accessibility, visualization, and edutainment (S.A.V.E.) principles, various types of teaching resources, such as slides, problem sets, video clips, and interactive online laboratories, are available on the SAVE website for online learning. Teachers are able to customize a distinctive learning path to address the needs of a specific student group. To provide students with a means of evaluating their competence in EM, a large-scale online proficiency test was conducted concurrently at multiple sites. Analyses of test results and website uses are provided to assess the SAVE program performance and to draw future work topics.

Reflecting on Five Decades of Teacher Professional Development in Tanzania: The Missing Dimensions - Dachi, Hillary (Papers in Education and Development, 2016)
The importance of teacher development need not be over stated. This is adducible by the fact that transformations, innovations and diffusions in education make it imperative that teachers have to continually change and adopt. This paper takes stock of the trajectory of teacher professional development in Tanzania by locating related initiatives in the macro-policies and education transformations spanning a period of nearly five decades. It identifies the missing dimensions for robust in-service continuous professional development programmes (CPD) for primary and secondary school teachers. The paper proposes the need to support a cost effective in-service CPD model, which is school based designed around a reflective practitioner approach, for which teaching is an interactive problem solving professional undertaking requiring continuous updating of key competences that teachers require for classroom practices. Key words: teachers’ professionalism; teachers’ continuous professional development; macro-policies; education transformations

Digital Games, Design, and Learning: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis - Clark, Douglas B.; Tanner-Smith, Emily E.; Killingsworth, Stephen S. (Review of Educational Research, 2016)
In this meta-analysis, we systematically reviewed research on digital games and learning for K-16 students. We synthesized comparisons of game versus nongame conditions (i.e., media comparisons) and comparisons of augmented games versus standard game designs (i.e., value-added comparisons). We used random-effects meta-regression models with robust variance estimates to summarize overall effects and explore potential moderator effects. Results from media comparisons indicated that digital games significantly enhanced student learning relative to nongame conditions ([Formula: see text] = 0.33, 95% confidence interval [0.19, 0.48], k = 57, n = 209). Results from value-added comparisons indicated significant learning benefits associated with augmented game designs ([Formula: see text] = 0.34, 95% confidence interval [0.17, 0.51], k = 20, n = 40). Moderator analyses demonstrated that effects varied across various game mechanics characteristics, visual and narrative characteristics, and research quality characteristics. Taken together, the results highlight the affordances of games for learning as well as the key role of design beyond medium.

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

Investigating attitudes towards the use of mobile learning in higher education - Al-Emran, Mostafa; Elsherif, Hatem M.; Shaalan, Khaled (Computers in Human Behavior, 2016)
Mobile learning (M-learning) has become an important educational technology component in higher education. M-learning makes it possible for students to learn, collaborate, and share ideas among each other with the aid of internet and technology development. However, M-learning acceptance by learners and educators is critical to the employments of M-learning systems. Attitudes towards M-learning technology is an important factor that helps in determining whether or not learners and educators are ready to use M-learning. Such attitudes will serve to identify strengths and weaknesses and facilitate the development of the technology infrastructure. This paper aims at exploring students and educators' attitudes towards the use of M-learning in higher educational universities within Oman and UAE; two neighboring countries in the Arab Gulf region. To serve this purpose, two survey questionnaires were conducted: one for students and another for educators. The participants of this study are 383 students and 54 instructors from five universities. Different factors have been examined to test where there is a significant difference among students and educators' attitudes towards the use of M-learning, such as gender, age, country, level of study, smartphone ownership, major in terms of students and age, country, academic rank, academic experience and smartphone ownership in terms of educators. Findings revealed significant differences among the students’ attitudes towards M-learning with regard to their smartphone ownership, country and age. Furthermore, results indicated that M-learning can be one of the promising pedagogical technologies to be employed in the higher educational environments within the Arab Gulf countries.

Promoting Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation among Chemistry Students using Computer-Assisted Instruction - Gambari, Isiaka A.; Gbodi, Bimpe E.; Olakanmi, Eyitao U.; Abalaka, Eneojo N. (Contemporary Educational Technology, 2016)
The role of computer-assisted instruction in promoting intrinsic and extrinsic motivation among Nigerian secondary school chemistry students was investigated in this study. The study employed two modes of computer-assisted instruction (computer simulation instruction and computer tutorial instructional packages) and two levels of gender (male and female) using pretest-posttest experimental group design. Ninety (45 males and 45 females) senior secondary one (SS1) students from three secondary schools in Minna, Nigeria, made up the sample. The schools were purposively sampled and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The Experimental Group I was taught two selected concepts of chemistry using computer simulation instructional package (CSIP), Experimental Group II was exposed to computer tutorial Instructional package (CTIP) while conventional teaching method (CTM) was used for the Control Group. Validated Chemistry Achievement Test (CAT) and Chemistry Motivation Questionnaire (CMQ) with reliability coefficient of 0.89 and 0.94 respectively were used for data collection. Classroom observations as well as interview schedules were also conducted. Data from CAT and CTM were analyzed using One-way ANOVA and Scheffe’s post-hoc test, while the data from the classroom observations and interview schedules were thematically analyzed. The outcome of this study revealed that students taught with CSIP performed better than those in CTIP and CTM groups. The CSIP and CTIP were found also to be gender friendly. Moreover, students taught with CSIP had higher intrinsic and extrinsic motivation than their counterparts in CTIP and CTM respectively. Based on the findings, it was recommended that chemistry teachers should employ computer simulation for improving their students’ performance and motivation in the subject.

Effectiveness of Intelligent Tutoring Systems: A Meta-Analytic Review - Kulik, James A.; Fletcher, J. D. (Review of Educational Research, 2016)
This review describes a meta-analysis of findings from 50 controlled evaluations of intelligent computer tutoring systems. The median effect of intelligent tutoring in the 50 evaluations was to raise test scores 0.66 standard deviations over conventional levels, or from the 50th to the 75th percentile. However, the amount of improvement found in an evaluation depended to a great extent on whether improvement was measured on locally developed or standardized tests, suggesting that alignment of test and instructional objectives is a critical determinant of evaluation results. The review also describes findings from two groups of evaluations that did not meet all of the selection requirements for the meta-analysis: six evaluations with nonconventional control groups and four with flawed implementations of intelligent tutoring systems. Intelligent tutoring effects in these evaluations were small, suggesting that evaluation results are also affected by the nature of control treatments and the adequacy of program implementations.

The effects of integrating mobile devices with teaching and learning on students' learning performance: A meta-analysis and research synthesis - Sung, Yao-Ting; Chang, Kuo-En; Liu, Tzu-Chien (Computers & Education, 2016)
Mobile devices such as laptops, personal digital assistants, and mobile phones have become a learning tool with great potential in both classrooms and outdoor learning. Although there have been qualitative analyses of the use of mobile devices in education, systematic quantitative analyses of the effects of mobile-integrated education are lacking. This study performed a meta-analysis and research synthesis of the effects of integrated mobile devices in teaching and learning, in which 110 experimental and quasiexperimental journal articles published during the period 1993–2013 were coded and analyzed. Overall, there was a moderate mean effect size of 0.523 for the application of mobile devices to education. The effect sizes of moderator variables were analyzed and the advantages and disadvantages of mobile learning in different levels of moderator variables were synthesized based on content analyses of individual studies. The results of this study and their implications for both research and practice are discussed.

Theme 4: Group Work (Coordinators) - Haßler, Björn (Transforming Teacher Education and Learning, Ministry of Education (Ghana), 2016)
This handbook is the HANDBOOK FOR PD COORDINATORS for Theme 4, focusing on group work. In many everyday situations people work alongside colleagues, speak and listen to friends, and see what others do and how they do it. This is how we all learn. As we talk to others, we discover new ideas and information. If activities in the college classrooms are centred on the tutor, then the student teachers do not get enough time to be active: they do not have the opportunity to try, to demonstrate their learning or to ask questions. In such situations, some students may only give short answers and some may say nothing at all. In large classes, the situation is even worse, with only a small proportion of students saying anything at all. One reason for doing group work in the classroom is to give students more opportunities to participate. Working in groups and pairs is about learning collaboratively. Collaborative learning means two or more student teachers working together to achieve a shared goal. This includes peer collaboration (for groups of two student teachers), and small group work (for smaller groups). It requires you to interact and talk about what you are thinking with one another in a specific learning context. Questions can be posed, ideas can be challenged and misunderstandings can be heard and investigated.

Teachers’ Professional Capabilities and the Pursuit of Quality in Sub-Saharan African Education Systems: Demonstrating and Debating a Method of Capability Selection and Analysis - Buckler, Alison (Journal of Human Development and Capabilities, 2016)
This paper reports on the methodological approach of a study that examined an important dimension of the global challenge to better understand the ‘quality’ element of Education for All (EFA): the professional lives of women teachers in rural communities in Sub-Saharan Africa. Teachers from five countries (Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa and Sudan) provided a focus for exploring the relationship between official representations of teachers’ work and the professional lives teachers create and experience. Sen's (1999) capability approach was used as a framework for understanding this relationship and to produce two conceptualizations of professional capabilities for teachers generated by the official and teacher perspectives, respectively. These capabilities are organized around the pursuit of quality in teachers’ work. The paper explains how these two conceptualizations were determined, justifies four key aspects of the method used and highlights key insights into the teachers’ professional lives enabled by this approach.

The Impact of Information Provision on Human Capital Accumulation and Child Labor in Peru - IPA (Innovations for Poverty Action, 2016)
One reason children from disadvantaged backgrounds receive less schooling and join the labor force at younger ages with fewer skills may be that they and their families lack crucial information needed to make the right long run investment decisions regarding their human capital. In Peru, IPA and J-PAL worked with researchers and the Ministry of Education to evaluate at scale two low-cost ways of providing relevant information to help students and their families make more informed decisions. Using a series of telenovela-style videos screened as part of the curriculum in schools as well as through an interactive tablet app, the research project evaluated how information provided at different ages could shape human capital decisions. Results suggest that the programs were effective at changing educational plans and lowering dropout rates, while significant effects on child labor were mixed. The policy has now been adopted by the government and scaled up to 100 percent of public schools with full class days.

Students’ Perceived Heat-Health Symptoms Increased with Warmer Classroom Temperatures - Bidassey-Manilal, Shalin; Wright, Caradee Y.; Engelbrecht, Jacobus C.; Albers, Patricia N.; Garland, Rebecca M.; Matooane, Mamopeli (International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2016)
Temperatures in Africa are expected to increase by the end of the century. Heat-related health impacts and perceived health symptoms are potentially a problem, especially in public schools with limited resources. Students (n = 252) aged ~14–18 years from eight high schools completed an hourly heat-health symptom log over 5 days. Data loggers measured indoor classroom temperatures. A high proportion of students felt tired (97.2%), had low concentration (96.8%) and felt sleepy (94.1%) during at least one hour on any day. There were statistically significant correlations, when controlling for school cluster effect and time of day, between indoor temperatures ≥32 °C and students who felt tired and found it hard to breathe. Consistently higher indoor classroom temperatures were observed in classrooms constructed of prefabricated asbestos sheeting with corrugated iron roof and converted shipping container compared to brick classrooms. Longitudinal studies in multiple seasons and different classroom building types are needed.

Does Teaching Experience Increase Teacher Effectiveness? A Review of the Research - Kini, Tara; Podolsky, Anne (Learning Policy Institute, 2016)
Do teachers continue to improve in their effectiveness as they gain experience in the teaching profession? This paper aims to answer that question by critically reviewing recent literature that analyzes the effect of teaching experience on student outcomes in K-12 public schools in the United States. This report reviews 30 studies published within the last 15 years that analyze the effect of teaching experience on student outcomes in the United States. The goal of this paper is to provide researchers and policymakers with a comprehensive and timely review of this body of work. A renewed look at this research is warranted due to advances in research methods (including the use of teacher and student fixed effects) and data systems that have allowed researchers to more accurately answer this question. Specifically, by including teacher fixed effects in their analyses, researchers have been able to compare a teacher with multiple years of experience to that same teacher when he or she had fewer years of experience. In contrast, older studies often used less precise methods, such as cross-sectional analyses, which compare distinct cohorts of teachers with different experience levels during a single school year.

The effectiveness of self-regulated learning scaffolds on academic performance in computer-based learning environments: a meta-analysis - Zheng, Lanqin (Asia Pacific Education Review, 2016)
This meta-analysis examined research on the effects of self-regulated learning scaffolds on academic performance in computer-based learning environments from 2004 to 2015. A total of 29 articles met inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis with a total sample size of 2648 students. Moderator analyses were performed using a random effects model that focused on the three main areas of scaffold characteristics (including the mechanism, functions, delivery forms, mode, and number of scaffolds; how to promote self-regulated learning by scaffolds); demographics of the selected studies (including sample groups, sample size, learning domain, research settings, and types of computer-based learning environments); and research methodological features (including research methods, types of research design, types of organization for treatment, and duration of treatment). Findings revealed that self-regulated learning scaffolds in computer-based learning environments generally produced a significantly positive effect on academic performance (ES = 0.438). It is also suggested that both domain-general and domain-specific scaffolds can support the entire process of self-regulated learning since they demonstrated substantial effects on academic performance. Different impacts of various studies and their methodological features are presented and discussed.

Democracy on the Move? The Potential Link Between Circular Migration and Democratization - Rother, Stefan (2016)
This chapter argues that circular migration may contribute to transformation in areas that have so far been rarely touched upon in the debate. Besides the transfer of financial remittances and professional skills, political and (un)democratic attitudes and practices may also be diffused through temporary or circular migration. Based on a survey among 1000 Philippine return migrants from six destinations and qualitative research, this chapter shows that at an individual level, the migration experience may have a positive or negative influence on the democratic attitudes of migrants. This effect might be enforced through circular migration, because it provides the migrant with a regular “reality check” in comparing home and destination country. The findings are discussed with reference to a clearly democratic country (Japan), a clearly authoritarian state (Saudi Arabia) and the “special case” of Hong Kong. For policy makers, the case studies allow to draw a conclusion that opens up new vistas: If circular migrants should contribute to the development in their home countries, it is of utmost importance to provide them with opportunities for organizing and political participation while being abroad.

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

Assessment For Learning Without Limits - Peacock, Alison (Open University Press, 2016)
This book explores assessment practices that offer an enlightening and enabling view of all learners. Following the demise of national curriculum levels the book embraces a unique opportunity to change how children are assessed. Rather than simply replacing the old structure with a new one it focuses instead on enabling children to learn in meaningful ways so that assessment becomes a tool for improvement rather than judgment. Building on two influential research studies Learning without Limits (Hart et al 2004) and Creating Learning without Limits (Swann et al 2012) the book continues the story of an alternative ‘learning without limits’ pedagogy. Inspired by a relentless focus on every child’s capacity to learn the book explores what can be achieved when we remove limits on learning. School leaders and teachers struggling against practices that seeks to define label and rank explore the opportunity to view assessment reform as a means of reducing inequity through ‘learning without limits’ principles of collaboration professional learning and inquiry. Children share their views and offer powerful insights into what may be achieved when limits are lifted on their learning. Consequently a liberating and alternative view of assessment is presented achieved through children and adults working in partnership. Throughout the book practical examples are offered illustrated by real life stories often about children who have achieved more than their teachers thought possible.At a time when schools are in pursuit of new assessment practices and reporting of progress the insights in this book about what is possible are highly pertinent for individual teachers school leaders and teacher educators wondering how best to foster children’s learning capacity.

Does technology improve reading outcomes? Comparing the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of ICT interventions for early grade reading in Kenya - Piper, Benjamin; Zuilkowski, Stephanie Simmons; Kwayumba, Dunston; Strigel, Carmen (International Journal of Educational Development, 2016)
Education policymakers are investing in information and communications technology (ICT) without a research base on how ICT improves outcomes. There is limited research on the effects of different types of ICT investments on outcomes. The Kenya Primary Math and Reading (PRIMR) study implemented a randomized controlled trial comparing the effects and cost of three interventions – e-readers for students, tablets for teachers, and the base PRIMR program with tablets for instructional supervisors. The results show that the ICT investments do not improve literacy outcomes significantly more than the base non-ICT instructional program. Our findings show that cost considerations should be paramount in selecting ICT investments in the education sector.

Automatic Teacher Modeling from Live Classroom Audio - Donnelly, Patrick J.; Blanchard, Nathan; Samei, Borhan; Olney, Andrew M.; Sun, Xiaoyi; Ward, Brooke; Kelly, Sean; Nystran, Martin; D'Mello, Sidney K. (Proceedings of the 2016 Conference on User Modeling Adaptation and Personalization, 2016)
We investigate automatic analysis of teachers' instructional strategies from audio recordings collected in live classrooms. We collected a data set of teacher audio and human-coded instructional activities (e.g., lecture, question and answer, group work) in 76 middle school literature, language arts, and civics classes from eleven teachers across six schools. We automatically segment teacher audio to analyze speech vs. rest patterns, generate automatic transcripts of the teachers' speech to extract natural language features, and compute low-level acoustic features. We train supervised machine learning models to identify occurrences of five key instructional segments (Question & Answer, Procedures and Directions, Supervised Seatwork, Small Group Work, and Lecture) that collectively comprise 76% of the data. Models are validated independently of teacher in order to increase generalizability to new teachers from the same sample. We were able to identify the five instructional segments above chance levels with F1 scores ranging from 0.64 to 0.78. We discuss key findings in the context of teacher modeling for formative assessment and professional development.

Empowering Global Citizens: A World Course - Reimers, Fernando M.; Chopra, Vidur; Chung, Connie K.; Higdon, Julia; O'Donnell, E. B. (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2016)
How do we help students work effectively with others from diverse cultural backgrounds? How do we help them understand the world? How do we prepare them for work and life in an era of globalization, volatility, and uncertainty? Empowering Global Citizens offers educators and parents compelling answers to those questions.This book presents The World Course, a curriculum on global citizenship education designed to equip students with the competencies they need to thrive and contribute to sustainable development in an era of globalization. Drawing on curriculum mapping this book offers a coherent and rigorous set of instructional units to support deep learning of twenty-first-century competencies that develop agency, imagination, confidence, and the skills to navigate the complexity of our times. Drawing on a rich conceptual framework of global education, The World Course scaffolds the development of global competency drawing on project-based learning and other pedagogies that support personalization. The course expands children’s horizons, helping them understand the world in which they live in all its complexity from kindergarten to high school. This is done through learning activities at the zone for proximal development for each age group, with activities that foster student agency and a growth mindset.

What Really Works to Improve Learning in Developing Countries? An Analysis of Divergent Findings in Systematic Reviews - Evans, David K.; Popova, Anna (The World Bank Research Observer, 2016)
Over the course of just two years, at least six reviews have examined interventions that seek to improve learning outcomes in developing countries. Although the reviews ostensibly have the same objective, they reach sometimes starkly different conclusions. The first objective of this paper is to identify why reviews diverge in their conclusions and how future reviews can be more effective. The second objective is to identify areas of overlap in the recommendations of existing reviews of what works to improve learning. This paper demonstrates that divergence in the recommendations of learning reviews is largely driven by differences in the samples of research incorporated in each review. Of 229 studies with student learning results, the most inclusive review incorporates less than half of the total studies. Across the reviews, two classes of programs are recommended with some consistency. Pedagogical interventions that tailor teaching to student learning levels—either teacher-led or facilitated by adaptive learning software—are effective at improving student test scores, as are individualized, repeated teacher training interventions often associated with a specific task or tool. Future reviews will be most useful if they combine narrative review with meta-analysis, conduct more exhaustive searches, and maintain low aggregation of intervention categories.
