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.

Alternatives towards achieving Education For All (EFA): a case of the informal sector business institute (ISBI), Nairobi, Kenya - Momanyi, C (2015)
In 1948 the United Nations declared that everyone has a right to education in the universal declaration of human rights. Education for All (EFA) is an international initiative first launched in Jomtien, Thailand, in 1990 to bring the benefits of education to “every citizen in every society’. To realize this aim, governments, civil society groups, and development agencies such as UNESCO and the World Bank have joined hands to achieve the EFA goals. Kenya is signatory to education for all initiative. Achieving the Education for All goals is critical for simultaneously attaining all 8 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The EFA strategies include the establishment of a policy on the re-entry of school-age mothers into the education system and the establishment of a non-formal education unit in the Ministry of Education Science and Technology. The recent implementation of free primary and secondary education is an effort by the government of Kenya to attain Universal primary Education (UPE) and the final attainment of EFA and MDGs. There are many suggestions both at the local and international levels on how to achieve this goal. Non-formal education and Technical and vocational education are some of the alternatives towards EFA, they lead participants to acquire practical skills in a particular occupation. Non formal education is flexible as more people who are out of the formal education system acquire skills. Strathmore Educational Trust (SET), a Public Charitable Trust incorporated in Kenya, established to promote educational initiatives started the Informal Sector Business Institute (ISBI) in 2004; a Non-formal education initiative to train jua kali artisans in ICT and business skills. Since its inception, more than 10,000 people have been trained in various skills. Data collected from artisans who have undergone the ISBI training showed that the artisans trained at ISBI are better than those form the same area that have not undergone the same training.

Corporate governance principles and practices disclosed in the South African technical vocational education and training colleges' annual reports - Moloi, Tankiso; University of Johannesburg; Adelowotan, Michael (Journal of Legal, Ethical and Regulatory Issues, 2019)
The motivation for the development of corporate governance codes in South Africa was to ensure that companies and other organisations are managed so as to ensure ethical leadership, accountability, transparency and sustainability of these organisations. However, observers of the South African Corporate environment noted that the development of King I code of corporate governance was particularly focused on corporate bodies and not to other organisations. In order to address this imbalance and considering the significant role of these educational institutions to the development of the nation's economy, the subsequent King codes were designed in a manner that permitted them to apply to any organisation regardless of manner or form of incorporation. The Heher Commission of Inquiry that investigated the process of administration in the Higher Education Sector observed that there are so many challenges (ranging from leadership and administration; funding and accountability; infrastructure and equipment) confronting TVET colleges, which is an indication that governance in general is a challenge in this environment. Through the document analysis methodology, this work explored the nature of corporate governance principles and practices disclosed in South Africa's Technical, Vocational, Educational, and Training colleges' annual reports so as to determine whether the challenges could also be attributable to the lack of application of principles thereby filling gap in many studies focusing on the application of King code to companies alone. We hypothesize that the application of King codes will lead to improved performance by TVET colleges. Our research question is "To what extent will the application of King codes resolve the challenges facing TVET colleges in South Africa?" Our findings suggest that the majority of the observed institutions had not disclosed the key corporate governance practices in their annual reports. It could then be argued that the challenges that are plaguing these institutions as highlighted by the Heher Commission of Inquiry could also be attributable to the lack of application of principles, leading to the unstable leadership and administration; lack of funding and accountability; decaying infrastructure and equipment, which ultimately renders these organisations incapable of delivering on its core mandate.

Accelerated Middle School Programs: Preliminary Indicators of Long-Term Academic Benefits for Over-age Youth - Mollette, M.; Villa, B.; Cate, D. (Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk, 2020)
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, dropping out is a persistent problem among 15- to 24-year-olds. Researchers have noted school districts that have been able to improve graduation rates have often done so through the “development of innovative models and pathways that help young people get back on track to graduation” One such innovative model, an accelerated middle school intervention, is currently implemented across five middle schools in a large southeastern school district. The program targets students at-risk for dropping out based on characteristics such as age, mobility, poverty and previous retention in grade and allows them to complete both 8th and 9th grade requirements within one school year. To date, about 88% of students who completed the intervention during their last year of middle school were able to transition to high school as 10th grade students. This study presents findings from the students who completed this intervention between 2011–12 and 2015–16, representing the first five years the program was in existence. A quasi-experimental design is used to analyze outcomes related to attendance, course completion and graduation. Results indicate that students who complete the intervention are 34% more likely to graduate high school than the matched comparison group. However, no significant differences existed in student attendance rates while in high school. The findings indicate this program has the potential to improve graduation rates for students at-risk of dropping out provided the intervention occurs early enough in their academic career. © 2020, © 2020 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Evidence-Based Teaching: Effective Teaching Practices in Primary School Classrooms - Molina, Ezequiel; Pushparatnam, Adelle; Rimm-Kaufman, Sara; Wong, Keri Ka-Yee (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2018)

Teach : Observer Manual - Molina, Ezequiel; Melo Hurtado, Carolina Eugenia; Pushparatnam, Adelle; Wilichowski, Tracy Marie (The World Bank, 2019)
Teach differs from other classroom observation tools in that it captures (i) the time teachers spend on learning and the extent to which students are on task, and (ii) the quality of teaching practices that help develop students’ socio-emotional and cognitive skills. As part of the Time on Task component, 3 “snapshots” of 1–10 seconds are used to record both the teacher’s actions and the number of students who are on task throughout the observation. The Quality of Teaching Practices component, on the other hand, is organized into 3 primary areas: Classroom Culture, Instruction, and Socio-emotional Skills (see graphic on page 3).These areas have 9 corresponding elements that point to 28 behaviors. The behaviors are characterized as low, medium, or high, based on the evidence collected during the observation. These behavior scores are translated into a 5-point scale that quantifies teaching practices as captured in a series of two, 15-minute lesson observations.

Can Big Bird Fight Terrorism?: Children's Television and Globalized Multicultural Education - Moland, Naomi A. (Oxford University Press, 2019)
Sesame Street has taught generations of Americans their letters and numbers, and also how to better understand and get along with people of different races, faiths, ethnicities, and temperaments. But the show has a global reach as well, with more than thirty co-productions of Sesame Street that are viewed in over 150 countries. In recent years, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has provided funding to the New York-based Sesame Workshop to create international versions of Sesame Street. Many of these programs teach children to respect diversity and tolerate others, which some hope will ultimately help to build peace in conflict-affected societies. In fact, the U.S. government has funded local versions of the show in several countries enmeshed in conflict, including Afghanistan, Kosovo, Pakistan, Jordan, and Nigeria.Can Big Bird Fight Terrorism? takes an in-depth look at the Nigerian version, Sesame Square, which began airing in 2011. In addition to teaching preschool-level academic skills, Sesame Square seeks to promote peaceful coexistence-a daunting task in Nigeria, where escalating ethno-religious tensions and terrorism threaten to fracture the nation. After a year of interviewing Sesame creators, observing their production processes, conducting episode analysis, and talking to local educators who use the program in classrooms, Naomi Moland found that this child-focused use of soft power raised complex questions about how multicultural ideals translate into different settings. In Nigeria, where segregation, state fragility, and escalating conflict raise the stakes of peacebuilding efforts, multicultural education may be ineffective at best, and possibly even divisive. This book offers rare insights into the complexities, challenges, and dilemmas inherent in soft power attempts to teach theideals of diversity and tolerance in countries suffering from internal conflicts.

The evaluation of chatbot as a tool for health literacy education among undergraduate students - Mokmin, Nur Azlina Mohamed; Ibrahim, Nurul Anwar (Education and Information Technologies, 2021)
This study discussed and evaluated the usefulness, performance, and technology acceptance of a chatbot developed to educate users and provide health literacy. A semi-structured interview and analytic sessions were provided on Google Analytics dashboard, and the users’ acceptance toward the technology was measured using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2). A total of 75 undergraduate students were involved over a total period of two months. Each respondent explored the health chatbot actively to get advice from it with a phrase that matched the chatbot’s intents via mobile devices. The evaluation results showed that 73.3% of the respondents found that the chatbot can help understand several health issues and provide a good conversation. The performance evaluation also showed that the chatbot contributed a low percentage of exit, where less than 37% of users exited the application. The overall assessment showed that the developed chatbot has a significant potential to be used as a conversational agent to increase health literacy, especially among students and young adults. However, more research should be done before the technology can replace humans in a real setting.

Why Is Implementation Science Important for Intervention Design and Evaluation Within Educational Settings? - Moir, Taryn (Frontiers in Education, 2018)
The current challenging economic climate demands, more than ever, value for money in service delivery. Every service is required to maximize positive outcomes in the most cost-effective way. To date, a smorgasbord of interventions have been designed to benefit society. Those worthy of attention have solid foundations in empirical research, offering service providers reassurance that positive outcomes are assured; many of these programmes lie within the field of education and everyday school practice. However, often even these highly supported programmes yield poor results due to poor implementation. Implementation science is the study of the components necessary to promote authentic adoption of evidence-based interventions, thereby increasing their effectiveness. Following a brief definition of key terms and theories, this article will go on to discuss why implementation is not a straightforward process. To do so, this article will draw upon examples of evidence-based but poorly implemented school programmes. Having acknowledged how good implementation positively affects sustainability, we will then look at the growing number of frameworks for practice within this field. One such framework, the Core Components Model, will be used to facilitate discussion about the processes of successful design and evaluation. This article will continue by illustrating how the quality of implementation has directly affected the sustainability of the Incredible Years programmes and the Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies (PATHS) curriculum. Then, by analyzing implementation science, some of the challenges currently faced within this field will be highlighted and areas for further research discussed. This article will then link to the implications for educational psychologists (EPs) and will conclude that implementation science is crucial to the design and evaluation of interventions, and that the EP is in an ideal position to support sustainable positive change.

Development and evaluation of Ning social network for teaching training online surveillance - Mohd Nawi, Mohd Aliff; Jamsari, Ezad Azraai; Sulaiman, Adibah; Hamzah, Mohd Isa (Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education, 2013)
Supervision of teaching practice is an important aspect of training teachers in improving their teaching skills. Barriers such as distance and time factor are the constraints faced by the lecturers at the National University of Malaysia to communicate with the teacher trainees under their supervision. Therefore, this study aims to develop and evaluate a social-networking site Ning's platform for the supervision of lecturers to teach on-line training. This study used the case design where a total of nine teacher trainees involved in this study. It found that overall, acceptance of the use of the social-networking site Ning mean score at the highest level of 3.91. In addition, all student teachers have positive attitudes towards the use of the social-networking site Ning social-networking site and agree a suitable approach to the supervision of one of the online teaching practices.

Application of Multitemporal Landsat Data in Mapping of Saline Soil in Kano River Irrigation Scheme (KRIS) - Mohammed, Dahiru; Maina, M. M.; Audu, I.; Tudunwada, I. Y.; Nasiru, N. K.; Nasidi, N. M.; Umar, S. E. (FUDMA JOURNAL OF SCIENCES, 2023)
Soil salinization is becoming a more serious issue threatening agricultural production and the sustainable use of land resources. Crop roots are unable to absorb water from the soil when exposed to saline conditions. This study explored the potential of Landsat imagery in detecting and mapping saline soil in the Kano River Irrigation Scheme (KRIS). Samples of soil were collected from thirty-nine (39) sectors of the KRIS for ground truthing on 20th – 25th April, 2020. Electrical Conductivity (EC) of field samples were correlated with band values of satellite images and salinity indices in order to determine their relationship and assess their effectiveness in predicting soil salinity. Using a geospatial approach, the data was analyzed and maps of salt-affected areas were generated. ArcGIS 10.6 was used as the primary package for modeling and running functions. The result has shown that the EC values over the entire study area are greater than 1.3 dS/m. However, the mean value of EC is approximately 1.91 dS/m. The implication is that, most of the vegetables such as Onion, Carrot, and Beans grown in the KRIS will experience yield reduction without appropriate management practice as their threshold value has been exceeded.

Theorising Evidence-Informed Learning Technology Enterprises: A Participatory Design-Based Research Approach - Moeini, Anissa (UCL (University College London), 2020)
The goal of this doctoral work was to build a bridge between academia and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the educational technology (edtech) sector by bringing the rigour of academic research methods to start-up and scale-up environments so that they can conceptualise and realise products that are built with evidence from the learning sciences. The overall research question, What theoretical framework supports edtech enterprises to build evidence-informed products and services? is answered through a design-based research methodology with six Cycles of research, grouped into three Phases, each with goals that evolve in an iterative way. A design-based research approach was chosen after a highly exploratory Phase surveying London’s edtech ecosystem prior to Cycle 1. Part 1 (Cycles 1 and 2) focused on developing the construct in question (a practical framework for building research-minded edtech enterprises) through a participatory design process with key Participants. Part 2 (Cycles 3 and 4) focused on evaluating the new construct with Participants. Part 3 (Cycles 5 and 6) validated the framework developed in Parts 1 and 2 with edtech enterprises both from the EDUCATE programme and also the greater global ecosystem. The theoretical contribution of this study is the ELTE construct and its 7 Sub-Constructs, including Learning Culture, Leadership Vision, Sense of Purpose, Teamwork, Research Know-How and Action Orientation; the ELTE Survey outlining all facets each Sub-Construct in the framework; and the ELTE Sub-Construct Hierarchy Model, introducing Sub-Construct dependencies. Methodological contributions of this study include the ELTE Action Model, an effective boundary object for researchers when approaching edtech enterprises to understand how the ELTE framework has uniquely manifested within the structures of their organisations, and ELTE Hallmark Questions, an introductory tools for researchers to give context to enterprises regarding the ELTE model prior to a workshop, line of inquiry, or discussion regarding the model’s particular manifestation enterprise context. The contributions of this study represent an intellectual advancement in our understanding of evidence-informed design and development within the edtech sector, and it provides a tool of practical use to edtech SMEs that want to become Evidence-informed Learning Technology Enterprises.

Postgraduate Students’ Perception of the Use of E-portfolios as a Teaching Tool to Support their Learning in an Open and Distance Education Institution - Modise, Mphoentle Puleng (Journal of Learning for Development, 2021)
E-portfolios have been used for decades in education; however, it is still a new trend in some developing countries as they continue to adopt e-learning practices. The study investigated postgraduate students’ experiences and perceptions of using an e-portfolio as a teaching tool to support their learning in an open and distance e-learning (ODeL) university in South Africa. A sample of 74 students registered for an online module were selected and an online questionnaire administered via Lime Survey. The results show that more than half of the respondents (71%) were using the e-portfolio for the first time. The study also revealed the contrasting views of the support received from the lecturer and institution for the e-portfolio platform, especially with technical issues. This study suggests that distance education institutions that are using e-portfolios need to strategically choose user-friendly technology tools and design appropriate student support strategies for delivering online modules. Higher education institutions that are planning to implement e-portfolios may find the results of this paper useful; however, further investigation of the learners’ needs, and available tools may assist with creative and appropriate designs of support strategies for their contexts.

Effects of Internet Access During Examinations - Mitra, Sugata; Dangwal, Ritu (Journal of Learning for Development, 2022)
The scores obtained by students in examinations where internet access was allowed during the examination were compared with the scores obtained in traditional examinations where no assistance was allowed. These scores were then compared with those obtained in a standardised school examination on the same topic or subject, taken by the same students a year before. We observed that scores dropped by over 70% within a year of taking a traditional examination but could be significantly improved if internet access is allowed in the later examination. We further observed that scores in examinations where internet access was allowed were consistently higher than where internet access was not allowed. Finally, we report an analysis by rank and observe that student rankings change both over time and whether internet access was allowed or not. This leads us to suggest that use of the internet during examinations measures abilities that are different and more meaningful to our times than those that are measured by traditional examinations based on memorisation and unassisted recall.

The implications of school improvement and school effectiveness research for primary school principals in Ethiopia - Mitchell, Rafael (Educational Review, 2015)
In the last 20 years the Ethiopian education system has rapidly expanded, leading to a 500% increase in primary school enrolment. The Ministry of Education (MoE) has sought to address a perceived decline in educational quality through nationally-mandated programmes for school improvement and teachers’ professional development. Such programmes – imported on the advice of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Department for International Development (DfID) and other development partners – are implemented “mechanistically”, without adaptation for societal or organisational cultural contexts. This article reviews empirical research from the last decade, including “grey” literature, in the school improvement (SI) and school effectiveness research (SER) traditions to draw implications for primary school principals in Ethiopia.

"Let's not leave this problem": exploring inclusive education in rural South Africa - Mitchell, Claudia; De Lange, Naydene; Thuy, Nguyen-Thi Xuan (Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2008)
Inclusive education represents a new agenda for educational reform that spans a wide range of socio-political, cultural, ethical, personal and interpersonal dimensions. Working towards educational inclusion demands commitments, responsibilities and initiatives on the part of all parties to take into consideration the meanings and purpose of education and social justice, to engage and take collective actions in their struggle to combat the diverse forms of educational and social exclusion. This paper presents an educational initiative to implement inclusive education in rural KwaZulu-Natal, an area of South Africa that is most seriously affected by the pandemic of HIV and AIDS. Through the implementation of participatory video-making projects in two schools, the authors seek to empower the voices and actions of teachers in an effort to cope with the problems of poverty and marginalization facing many children. The outcomes of this type of participatory work with teachers have implications for the policy-making process, which in turn, could change the ways educational policy research is structured and implemented.

Information and Communication Technologies in Library and Information Science Education in Kenya - Minishi-Majanja, Mabel K.; Ocholla, Dennis N. (Education for Information, 2003)
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have become central to education and training in Library and Information Science/Service (LIS) because of the great influence of these technologies on the professional world. This study on Kenya is part of a larger doctoral research project that aims to map and audit the types, nature and diffusion of ICTs in LIS education and training programmes in Africa. The findings indicate that all LIS schools in Kenya have embraced the use of ICTs, but there are major variations in terms of application. All but one LIS School offers a wide range of relevant ICT courses, many of them as core modules. However, not all of them offer, or are able to offer, practical hands-on experience for their students. In teaching and learning, only a few LIS schools use ICTs to deliver lectures, the majority still favouring age-old methods of face-to-face classroom teaching. In research, the lack of ICT facilities has resulted in partial and minimal use of ICTs, especially since academic staff have to pay (individually, from private funds) to access the Internet. For the same reasons electronic publishing of research results on the Internet is low. In terms of academic administration, most LIS schools have computerised but most activities still are conducted offline due to networking inadequacies. The study recommends that Kenyan LIS schools should increase the use of ICTs in teaching and learning to foster greater effectiveness. Kenyan LIS schools should strive to provide online and distance education in order to open more learning opportunities for the nation. (Contains 5 tables and 1 footnote.)

An experimental study of the performance of prospective teachers of flipped classroom and non-flipped classroom - Minaz, Maksal; Tabassum, Rabia; Idris, Muhammad (Pakistan Journal of Education, 2017)
Video-recording of lectures and creating of podcasts for playback on the computer and other portable devices which accommodate the new formats of self-developed learning are identified as flipped classroom. The study was focused on the objective to Investigate performance of prospective teachers of flipped classroom and non-flipped classroom with respect to flipped classroom strategy. Therefore, null hypotheses were formulated; there is no significant difference between the mean scores of flipped classroom and non-flipped classroom of prospective teachers before and after treatment; Pretest posttest equivalent group experimental research design was taken for the study. A paired random sampling technique was employed to select the sample on the basis of pretest scores from the subjects.. Experimental group was named flipped classroom and control group was named non-flipped classroom. Treatment of flipped classroom strategy provided to the flipped classroom and the non-flipped classroom was thought through lecture demonstration method. Posttest was administered to collect data from both groups without delay after treatment of six academic weeks. Results of the study illustrated that there was significant difference between the performance of flipped and non-flipped classrooms prospective teachers. It was recommended that flipped classroom may be an integral part of curriculum of professional development courses in Pakistan.

How Changes in Technology and Automation will Affect the Labour Market in Africa - Millington, A. Kerry (2017)
Estimates of how many jobs are vulnerable to being replaced by machine vary but it is clear that developing countries are more susceptible to automation compared to high-income countries. Traditionally, blue-collar routine jobs have been automated but with the emergence of greatly improved computing power, artificial intelligence and robotics, a much larger scope of occupations are at risk. Vulnerability to automation is now based on whether jobs or tasks are codifiable and whether they are routine or not. Highly-trained and skilled jobs can be more at risk than more varied, lesser skilled jobs. This rapid literature review found that whilst there is evidence, information and discussion of the impact of automation on the labour market in industrialised nations, there is much less on the potential impact in developing countries. The World Development Report 2016 Digital Dividends (World Bank 2016) was an excellent source of data and many of the figures presented are from this report. Whether you are a “techno-optimist” or a “techno-pessimist”, the impact of automation on the labour market will require long-term adjustment and policy changes to ensure the future of work is inclusive and sustainable and addresses increasing income inequality (Gelb and Khan December 2016) in an ever more automated and digital economy.

Education Policies and Teacher Deployment in Northern Ireland: Ethnic Separation, Cultural Encapsulation and Community Cross-Over - Milliken, Matthew; Bates, Jessica; Smith, Alan (British Journal of Educational Studies, 2020)
Education is a key mechanism for the restoration of inter-community relations in post-conflict societies. The Northern Ireland school system remains divided along sectarian lines. Much research has been conducted into the efficacy of initiatives developed to bring children together across this divide but there has been an absence of studies into the impact of educational division on teachers. A number of policies, separately and in combination, restrict teachers’ options to move across and between the divided school sectors. The recruitment of teachers is excepted from fair employment legislation; details of teachers’ community identity are consequently not collected, and little is known about the impact that ethnic identity, educational policies and sectoral practices have had on teacher deployment. This quantitative project investigates the extent to which the deployment of teachers in mainstream schools in Northern Ireland reflects the enduring community divide. It is observed that, whilst primary schools are staffed mainly by community-consistent teachers, there has been an increase in cross-over teachers in post-primary schools – particularly in the grammar sector. Around one-in-five teachers have had no educational experience outside of their community of origin; this cultural encapsulation may contribute to a reluctance to engage with contentious issues in reconciliation programmes.

Education and Stability Learning Journey: Lessons Learned and Emerging Issues - Millican, Juliet (2021)
This document brings together key findings from a Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) Learning Journey designed to explore the relationship between education, conflict, and stability. Prepared by the Knowledge, Evidence and Learning for Development Programme (K4D), it responds to questions from FCDO on how education interventions can build peace and stability, drawing together research and lessons from FCDO posts, and input from leading academics. The Key messages are: 1) Education matters for peace. 2) At the same time, education can exacerbate conflict. 3) All education interventions need to be grounded in robust political economy and conflict analyses. 4) To avoid instrumentalising education simply as a tool for security. 5) Taking a pragmatic inter-sectoral approach to maximise opportunities. 6) Recogniseing the links between education and inclusive economic development 7) Acknowledging unavoidable trade-offs in meeting the needs of different groups. 8) Aiming for nationally owned systemic change rather than piecemeal interventions 9) To consider the importance of different educational sectors, 10) Recognising that the recommendations set out by the global education agenda are difficult to achieve in situations of extreme instability.

Education and Stability: Synopsis Paper - Millican, Juliet (2019)
DFID are aware that there are strong connections between education and stability which have implications for programming in different country contexts. Fiftyseven percent of the total DFID ODA spend, and 93% of bilateral ODA spend, has been allocated to fragile states and regions since 2017 with a long-term goal of supporting the peaceful management of change. A growing body of research in this area confirms the “two faces of education in conflict,”1 i.e. the fact that education can both mitigate and exacerbate conflict. Until recently, this mainly concerned primary and secondary education, but there is a new recognition of the potential for universities to play a significant role in conflict mobilisation, conflict response and conflict recovery. The relationship is, however, complex and context dependent, affected by a number of key factors. For example, while much research shows that education has an overall pacifying effect on conflict, there is also evidence of above-average levels of education among terrorists and genocide perpetrators. There is also no “one size fits all” solution, but several important factors to be aware of. Education can contribute to divisiveness, as unequal access to education can add to the societal injustice underlying conflict and politicised curricula can cause indoctrination and negative stereotypes. However, education can also contribute to social cohesion, inclusive identities and reconciliation. The goals of different international policies, such as the global education agenda (focused on education for all), may not match with the specific needs of conflict-affected societies requiring interventions that prioritise minorities or work for societal change. Imbalances of power between international and local actors can also lead to tensions in national policy formulation and programme implementation. Those developing programmes for stability should begin with a thorough conflict and situational analysis and a deep understanding of context.

Feasibility of satellite image and GIS sampling for population representative surveys: a case study from rural Guatemala - Miller, Ann C.; Rohloff, Peter; Blake, Alexandre; Dhaenens, Eloin; Shaw, Leah; Tuiz, Eva; Grandesso, Francesco; Mendoza Montano, Carlos; Thomson, Dana R. (International Journal of Health Geographics, 2020)
Population-representative household survey methods require up-to-date sampling frames and sample designs that minimize time and cost of fieldwork especially in low- and middle-income countries. Traditional methods such as multi-stage cluster sampling, random-walk, or spatial sampling can be cumbersome, costly or inaccurate, leading to well-known biases. However, a new tool, Epicentre’s Geo-Sampler program, allows simple random sampling of structures, which can eliminate some of these biases. We describe the study design process, experiences and lessons learned using Geo-Sampler for selection of a population representative sample for a kidney disease survey in two sites in Guatemala.

Understanding Sustainable Exit Strategies of Voluntary Development Organisations. Amical Break-Up or Messy Divorce? - Mil, Anne-Fleur Lurvink, Imke van, Sara Kinsbergen (The Rise of Small-Scale Development Organisations, 2023)
Over the past decade, the changing aid architecture has been at the center of attention in development studies. The increasing number of established development actors and the influx of alternative development actors are attracting the attention of academic research. At the same time, still relatively little attention is being given to organisations exiting the field. In this chapter, we present a new framework to study sustainable exist strategies. We apply the framework on the ending of the partnership of two Dutch voluntary, small-scale development organisations (Private Development Initiatives, PDI) with their Indonesian local counterparts. Through a case-study approach, we study why and how partnerships are ended and how this impacts the sustainability of development interventions. We argue that the emotional connection between the PDI and its local counterpart is key feature in understanding their exits.

Meeting the Academic and Social-Emotional Needs of Nigeria’s Out-of-School Children | INEE - Miheretu, Adane (International Rescue Committee, 2019)
As part of their response to number of out-of-school children in Nigeria, with the support from UK Aid, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and Creative Associates International developed the Accelerated Learning Program (ALP) model in Nigeria. ALPs are flexible, age-appropriate educational programs which aim to address the needs of OOS children and youth by preparing them for entry or re-entry into the mainstream educational system. By enrolling these students, ALPs strive to make up for lost time and shore up the essential skills these students may have never developed or lost after their educations were derailed.

Relevant Journals for Identifying Implementation Science Articles: Results of an International Implementation Science Expert Survey - Mielke, Juliane; Brunkert, Thekla; Zullig, Leah L.; Bosworth, Hayden B.; Deschodt, Mieke; Simon, Michael; De Geest, Sabina (Frontiers in Public Health, 2021)
In implementation science (IS), conducting well-targeted and reproducible literature searches is challenging due to non-specific and varying terminology that is fragmented over multiple disciplines. A list of journals that publish IS-relevant content for use in search strings can support this process. We conducted a cross-sectional online survey of 56 Australian, European, and North American IS experts to identify and prioritize relevant journals that publish IS articles. Journals' relevance was assessed by providing each with a list of 12 journals, to which they were encouraged to add additional journal names and comments as free text. We also assessed which journals had published special IS-focused issues—identified via PubMed and Google searches—over the last 20 years. Data were analyzed descriptively. Between February 28 and March 15, 2020, a purposive sample of 34/56 experts participated in the survey (response rate: 60.7%). Implementation Science and BMC Health Services Research were perceived as relevant by 97.1% of participants; other journals' relevance varied internationally. Experts proposed 50 additional journals from various clinical fields and health science disciplines. We identified 12 calls and 53 special issues on IS published within various journals and research fields. Experts' comments confirmed the described challenges in identifying IS literature. This report presents experts' ratings of IS journals, which can be included in strategies supporting searches of IS evidence. However, challenges in identifying IS evidence remain geographically and interdisciplinary. Further investment is needed to develop reproducible search strings to capture IS evidence as an important step in improving IS research quality.

Advances in clinical education: a model for infectious disease training for mid-level practitioners in Uganda - Miceli, Antonina; Sebuyira, Lydia Mpanga; Crozier, Ian; Cooke, Molly; Naikoba, Sarah; Omwangangye, Aquilla Priscilla; Rayko-Farrar, Lisa; Ronald, Allan; Tumwebaze, Margaret; Willis, Kelly S.; Weaver, Marcia R. (International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2012)
Summary Advances in health professional education have been slow to materialize in many developing countries over the past half-century, contributing to a widening gap in quality of care compared to developed countries. Recent calls for reform in global health professional education have stressed, among other priorities, the need for approaches that strengthen clinical reasoning skills. While the development of these skills is critical to enhance health systems, little research has been carried out on the effectiveness of applying these strategies in the context of severe human resource shortages and complex disease presentations. Integrated Infectious Disease Capacity Building Evaluation (IDCAP) based at the Infectious Diseases Institute at Makerere University created a training program using current best practices in clinical education to support the development of complex reasoning skills among clinicians in rural Uganda. Over a period of 9 months, the program integrated classroom and clinic-based training approaches and measured indicators of success with particular reference to common infectious diseases. This article describes in detail the IDCAP approach to integrating advances in health professional education theory in the context of an overburdened, inadequately resourced primary health care system; results from the evaluation are expected in 2012.

COVID-19 and the Digital Transformation of Education: What Are We Learning on 4IR in South Africa? - Mhlanga, David; Moloi, Tankiso (Education Sciences, 2020)
The study sought to assess the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic in motivating digital transformation in the education sector in South Africa. The study was premised on the fact that learning in South Africa and the rest of the world came to a standstill due to the lockdown necessitated by COVID-19. To assess the impact, the study tracked the rate at which the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) tools were used by various institutions during the COVID-19 lockdown. Data were obtained from secondary sources. The findings are that, in South Africa, during the lockdown, a variety of 4IR tools were unleashed from primary education to higher and tertiary education where educational activities switched to remote (online) learning. These observations reflect that South Africa generally has some pockets of excellence to drive the education sector into the 4IR, which has the potential to increase access. Access to education, particularly at a higher education level, has always been a challenge due to a limited number of spaces available. Much as this pandemic has brought with it massive human suffering across the globe, it has presented an opportunity to assess successes and failures of deployed technologies, costs associated with them, and scaling these technologies to improve access.

Awareness and use of a mobile phone as a potential pedagogical tool among secondary school teachers in Tanzania - Mfaume, Hamisi (International Journal of Education and Development using Information and Communication Technology (IJEDICT), 2019)
The government of Tanzania through its ICT Policy for Basic Education, has indicated a commitment to use of mobile phones among other ICTs, as a strategy to enhance the quality of education. It is from this fact that this study determined teachers’ awareness of the educational benefits of the device, their use and barriers towards their educational use. The study was qualitative in nature, using a sample of twenty one (21) teachers who were purposefully selected from three secondary schools. Data were sought through semi-structured interviews and were thematically analysed. The findings revealed that teachers are well informed of the benefits, but they hardly utilize it for educational purposes. Lack of knowledge and skills, a negative attitude, lack of awareness of the ICT policy, age and low motivation emerged as key barriers. In light of the findings, the study concluded that the government’s commitment to integrate the device in the promotion of quality education has not yet moved beyond policy statements. Thus, a concerted effort is needed to train teachers on pedagogical utilization of the device.

LIMITATIONS OF OUTCOME BASED ACCOUNTING CURRICULUM IN ETHIOPIA - Mersha, Deresse; Assistant Professor, Jimma University, Ethiopia, Department of Accounting and Finance; Getahun, Mohammed (2019)
The demand for accounting profession is increasing from time to time because of the increase in complexity of the business environment. Education institutions are responsible to produce qualified and ethical accountant required by the accounting profession. Specifically, Technical and Vocational Education and training (TVET) colleges play great role in training lower and middle level accountant in Ethiopia. However, Academicians, practitioners and employers are raising concern on the quality and relevance of education and training given by TVET colleges. The major objective of this study is to examine the limitations of TVET in accounting curriculum in relation to relevance and contents of the competences included. The finding of the study showed that the existing curriculum has a lot of limitations in terms of relevance, coherence and content. As a result, the existing curriculum should be revisited in order to make it better.

A systematic literature review to identify evidence-based principles to improve online environmental education - Merritt, Eileen G.; Stern, Marc J.; Powell, Robert B.; Frensley, B. Troy (Environmental Education Research, 2022)
Many environmental educators shifted to online programs in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted a systematic literature review to identify program characteristics from digital environmental education experiences that are associated with one or more elements of environmental literacy. After reviewing 153 candidate articles, 32 articles that evaluated 47 diverse programs met our selection criteria. For each of these programs, we systematically coded the articles to identify guiding theories, program types, program characteristics, and outcomes assessed. We also identified the authors’ explanations and empirical evidence for program characteristics that led to positive outcomes. In this paper, we synthesize the results and present 12 guiding principles that show promise in enhancing outcomes related to environmental literacy in online programs for K-12 students. These principles, which are defined and illustrated with examples from the literature, include: social-ecological connections, relevance, social interactions, role models, autonomy, active involvement, challenge, use of multiple modalities, positive framing, preparation, feedback and reflection.

The Online Interface and Social Inclusion: A MOOC Study in Turkey - Meri-Yilan, Serpil (Journal of Interactive Media in Education, 2020)
One of the virtues of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) is that, because of their scalability, temporal flexibility and digital mediation, they have the potential to increase learner numbers in higher education, boosting their general level of social inclusion. Whether a MOOC actually succeeds in enhancing students’ social inclusion, however, is shaped by two elements of the course: 1) the features of the online interface – the embedded linguistic, pedagogical and interactive features that direct students’ engagement with the course materials, the educator and their peers; and 2) the knowledge content of the course, especially its relevancy for equipping learners to be able to engage meaningfully with the world after completion of the MOOC. With this in mind, this paper focuses on the first element, exploring Turkish students’ experiences of taking a MOOC and their perceptions of how the MOOC interface shaped their sense of social inclusion. Fifteen university-level students registered for a five-week MOOC on how to improve their English language writing skills. They then completed a questionnaire about their views on the learning experience. Nine of the students also kept diaries reflecting on their learning through the MOOC. Findings reveal that these students had a positive view of the MOOC, with different elements of the online interface playing important roles in improving digital, educational and social inclusion. The paper ends by recommending that researchers should further investigate the relationship between social inclusion and MOOCs; that course designers should rethink the role of online interfaces within MOOCS; and that Turkish higher education institutions should develop more MOOCs with locally relevant features embedded within them.

‘Without Education You Can Never Become President’: Teenage Pregnancy and Pseudo-empowerment in Post-Ebola Sierra Leone - Menzel, Anne (Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding, 2019)
This article analyses the emergence of ‘teenage pregnancy’ as a new policy focus in post-Ebola Sierra Leone and explores how Sierra Leoneans interpret the problem of ‘teenage pregnancy’. I argue that the new policy focus is not indicative of changing or new problems. Rather, ‘teenage pregnancy’ has created opportunities for donors and the Government of Sierra Leone to continue cooperation in gender politics. At the same time, Sierra Leoneans are clearly concerned about ‘teenage pregnancy’, and many agree with sensitization campaigns that responsibilize young women and girls while downplaying structural factors that render them vulnerable to arrangements involving transactional sex.

Synergizing education, research, campus operations, and community engagements towards sustainability in higher education: a literature review - Menon, Shalini; Suresh, M. (International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education, 2020)
Purpose The UN proclamation of 2005–2014 as the decade of education for sustainable development has been instrumental in creating awareness and driving higher education institutions (HEIs) in integrating sustainability into their system. The purpose of this paper is to explore and encapsulate practices adopted by universities and colleges across the globe in integrating sustainability in education (here refers to curriculum and pedagogy), research, campus operations and outreach programs. Design/methodology/approach The review analyzed 229 peer-reviewed research studies in the time period 2005–2018 selected from 44 journals. The literature review was done in phases. The first phase was the selection of the database, the second phase was refining the database by eliminating irrelevant studies and the last phase was distributing selected studies on the basis of the journal, year and country of publication, research paradigm, sustainability integration in higher education, teaching techniques adopted by HEIs and research focus in publications. Findings This study contributes to the literature review of sustainability in higher education. From the literature review, it is evident that sustainability has made inroads into HEIs, but only a few universities have been successful in implementing it holistically, integrating all the triple bottom line dimensions in balance. Practical implications The study has practical implications for HEIs planning to integrate sustainability into teaching and learning and other aspects of educational practices. The findings and the examples of successful implementation of sustainable education by institutions around the world would help universities and colleges in formulating policies, strategies and practices that would promote sustainability on campuses. Originality/value The literature reviews on sustainability in higher education so far have focused either on curricula, pedagogical approaches, assessment and reporting or barriers and solutions. This study attempts to offer a comprehensive view of the initiatives adopted by the institutions in incorporating sustainability in education, research, campus operations and outreach programs.

Ambientes online na profissionalização de professores em Cabo Verde: um projeto de investigação ação - Mendonça, Adriana (Universidade do Minho, 2014)
A introdução de ambientes online nas práticas docentes no ensino superior, tem-se afigurado numa necessidade um pouco por todo o mundo. Nesta investigação apresenta-se uma dessas iniciativas desenvolvidas na universidade de Cabo Verde (Uni-CV), no Departamento de Ciências Sociais e Humanas (DCSH). A Uni-CV conta com oito anos de existência, encontrando-se ainda na caminhada para a inclusão digital, a par do que ocorre no arquipélago cabo-verdiano. Mesmo com limitações, luta-se para alcançar os desafios da infoinclusão, nomeadamente através de programas como o Mundu Novu. É com esta preocupação que se trabalhou com estudantes finalistas em Ciências da Educação – Percurso de Desenvolvimento Pessoal e Social - futuros docentes da disciplina, do ensino secundário, de Formação Pessoal e Social/Educação para os Direitos Humanos e Cidadania. Isto para vivenciarem na sua formação inicial uma experiência inovadora, no período de estágio pedagógico, que enriquecesse a sua vivência e contribuísse para ampliar a sua visão sobre o potencial pedagógico dos ambientes online. Assim, a preocupação central da investigação foi perceber que desafios coloca a integração dos ambientes online nos processos de profissionalização dos docentes do Ensino Secundário em Cabo Verde, bem como compreender o espaço dos ambientes online nesse processo. Para tal, propôs-se compreender como é que as orientações legais e representações dos sujeitos estão a ser compreendidas pela Uni-CV, procurando-se simultaneamente contribuir com a organização de conteúdos formativos destinados aos estagiários e seus orientadores, de forma a contribuir para o aprofundamento das suas competências e simultaneamente criar um referencial indicativo de áreas prioritárias de formação em contexto de profissionalização para os professores de ensino secundário em Cabo Verde. Neste sentido levou-se a cabo um projeto de investigação ação, de natureza descritiva, com caráter eminentemente qualitativo, no âmbito do qual se concebeu e se implementou o b-curso: SuperVisão de estágio. Para a realização, com sucesso, desta investigação, foi necessário recorrer a diversas técnicas de recolha de dados em distintos momentos do processo, designadamente questionários, entrevistas (semi estruturadas e informais na modalidade individual e em focus group), observações participante e não participante, conversas e observações informais. Procedeu-se à análise estatística e de conteúdo com recurso ao Nvivo10 e ao Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) garantindo uma triangulação destes que permitiu inferir da vontade dos parte dos participantes em ganharem destrezas no uso das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) e na exploração dos ambientes online, revelando-se altamente motivados para a formação nos domínios, por eles, identificados como prioritários, a saber: TIC e ambientes online, planificação em educação, designadamente formulação de objetivos e competências em educação, estratégias e recursos pedagógicas. Tais domínios são percecionados como meio de desenvolvimento das competências científicas, técnicas e transversais no seu processo de profissionalização. Foi possível aferir, a partir dos resultados de investigação, que houve um considerável aumento do acesso à Internet pelos participantes. A par disso, também se verificou que a Uni-CV não dispõe, ainda, de condições técnicas e tecnológicas ideais para o desenvolvimento deste tipo de ações, com recurso a ambientes online. Porém, o recurso à Moodle no estágio pedagógico garantiu mais autonomia e flexibilidade ao estagiário, bem como ajudou-o na partilha quer de informações, quer de ansiedades, pelo que destacaram como atividades preferenciais, fóruns, o acesso a informações em diversos formatos, livro interativo e glossários. Como principais ganhos identificou-se o maior acesso a conteúdos específicos para trabalho na disciplina dinamizada pelos estagiários, bem como o feedback imediato facultado pela docente/investigadora e alguns colegas de estágio. As principais limitações relacionam-se com a duração do estágio (apenas quatro meses), o que limitou, nas atividades online, o envolvimento dos estagiários e seus orientadores, impossibilitando inclusivamente a participação destes últimos, bem como a evolução reflexiva na prática pedagógica. A estas dificuldades acresce a dificuldade de resposta da Uni-CV em facultar as condições ideais para que este b-curso decorresse com menos pressão. Apesar das dificuldades vivenciadas, entende-se que esta experiência contribuiu para que estes estagiários saíssem muito mais enriquecidos da sua formação académica inicial, pois, ainda que por pouco tempo, tiveram a possibilidade de “mergulharem no mundo digital”, de uma forma em que não o poderiam fazer sem que esta experiência ocorresse. Estes futuros professores interiorizam a necessidade de integração das TIC e dos ambientes online nas suas rotinas diárias e a necessária aprendizagem destas nas suas aprendizagens profissionais na perspetiva de formação ao longo da vida. Foi possível comprovar que, não obstante as dificuldades, é possível realizar uma prática pedagógica mediada por ambientes online na Uni-CV, desde que profissionais e gestores estejam cientes do seu potencial e procurem desenvolver as condições ideais para a sua exploração e desenvolvimento na Instituição, procurando envolver todas as forças ativas de modo a reunir sinergias e contribuir para o seu sucesso. A infoinclusão assumiria, aqui, um papel relevante na prossecução dos objetivos dos participantes neste processo da prática pedagógica, tornando-o ainda mais desafiador, para uns e para outros no âmbito das políticas e práticas da profissionalização docente em Cabo Verde.

A critical approach to humanizing pedagogies in online teaching and learning - Mehta, Rohit; Aguilera, Earl (The International Journal of Information and Learning Technology, 2020)
Purpose In this paper, the authors draw on theories of critical pedagogy to interrogate recent trends in online education scholarship, calling for more humanizing pedagogies. By using vignettes from their own teaching experiences, the paper illustrates tensions between autonomous and ideological visions of humanizing approaches, particularly how they apply to issues of inclusion in online teaching and learning. Design/methodology/approach The authors draw on critical theory to interrogate the framings of humanizing online teaching. Sharing three illustrative vignettes from their own reflexive teaching practice, the authors demonstrate how a critically framed approach to humanizing digital pedagogies can promote the design and enactment of more inclusive learning environments across online contexts. Findings Based on the pedagogical cases presented, the authors demonstrate (1) how methods promoted in autonomous models of humanizing pedagogy can present challenges for inclusive design, (2) how participatory media production activities can still intersect with issues of racialization, and (3) how humanizing pedagogical commitments by individual instructors can be constrained by material, structural, and institutional realities. Practical implications While critical framings of pedagogy necessarily resist prescriptive recommendations, the authors conclude the article by underscoring the importance of critically interrogating the ideological dimensions of humanizing pedagogies, the need to grapple with social inequities even as educational contexts are increasingly digitized; the importance of considering structural issues of power and privilege that produce and constrain pedagogical possibilities. Originality/value The authors offer a critical framing of humanizing pedagogies in online education that runs counter to the often-autonomous framings of these approaches, highlighting issues of power, privilege, and ideology that can be overlooked in online educational contexts, especially at the level of institutional, instructional design and support.

LIS curriculum in French-speaking West Africa in the age of ICTs: The case of Benin and Senegal - Mêgnigbêto, Eustache (The International Information & Library Review, 2007)
Summary LIS training programme in Africa date from early independence period. In French-speaking West African area, few countries have an LIS school. The existing schools have been created in partnership with either an international organization or a northern country. The curriculum delivered is not always updated as in developed countries. The main objective of this article is to measure the gap between LIS curriculum as actually delivered in developed and developing countries in the age of the information and communication technologies (ICTs). A couple of schools were chosen—English and French-speaking area—from Northern America and Western Europe; their curriculum served as basis for evaluating those in West African French-speaking countries. The conclusion that can be drawn from the study is that LIS curriculum in Africa has changed less since the schools’ first creation and ICTs are not present as in Western countries. This trend brings out the problem of the curriculum pertinence and the competitiveness of the graduate students in the international employment market.

The Effectiveness of Online and Blended Learning: A Meta-Analysis of the Empirical Literature - Means, Barbara; Toyama, Yukie; Murphy, Robert; Baki, Marianne (Teachers College Record: The Voice of Scholarship in Education, 2013)
Background/Context Earlier research on various forms of distance learning concluded that these technologies do not differ significantly from regular classroom instruction in terms of learning outcomes. Now that web-based learning has emerged as a major trend in both K–12 and higher education, the relative efficacy of online and face-to-face instruction needs to be revisited. The increased capabilities of web-based applications and collaboration technologies and the rise of blended learning models combining web-based and face-to-face classroom instruction have raised expectations for the effectiveness of online learning. Purpose/Objective/Research Question/Focus of Study This meta-analysis was designed to produce a statistical synthesis of studies contrasting learning outcomes for either fully online or blended learning conditions with those of face-to-face classroom instruction. Population/Participants/Subjects The types of learners in the meta-analysis studies were about evenly split between students in college or earlier years of education and learners in graduate programs or professional training. The average learner age in a study ranged from 13 to 44. Intervention/Program/Practice The meta-analysis was conducted on 50 effects found in 45 studies contrasting a fully or partially online condition with a fully face-to-face instructional condition. Length of instruction varied across studies and exceeded one month in the majority of them. Research Design The meta-analysis corpus consisted of (1) experimental studies using random assignment and (2) quasi-experiments with statistical control for preexisting group differences. An effect size was calculated or estimated for each contrast, and average effect sizes were computed for fully online learning and for blended learning. A coding scheme was applied to classify each study in terms of a set of conditions, practices, and methodological variables. Findings/Results The meta-analysis found that, on average, students in online learning conditions performed modestly better than those receiving face-to-face instruction. The advantage over face-to-face classes was significant in those studies contrasting blended learning with traditional face-to-face instruction but not in those studies contrasting purely online with face-to-face conditions. Conclusions/Recommendations Studies using blended learning also tended to involve additional learning time, instructional resources, and course elements that encourage interactions among learners. This confounding leaves open the possibility that one or all of these other practice variables contributed to the particularly positive outcomes for blended learning. Further research and development on different blended learning models is warranted. Experimental research testing design principles for blending online and face-to-face instruction for different kinds of learners is needed.

International distance learning in special education: a program evaluation of a US-Ecuador collaboration - McPherson, Rebekah (University of North Texas, 2010)
The internationalization of distance learning in special education is at a pivotal point in expansion. Even with concerted efforts through traditional means to increase the supply of special educators, shortages persist; therefore, teacher preparation programs are turning to online education. This dissertation study was a formative program evaluation of a bilingual, two-course sequence within a web-based special education master’s program offered at the University of North Texas (UNT), in Denton, Texas, and at the Universidad Casa Grande (UCG) in Guayaquil, Ecuador. The research design was based on the unfolding model of program evaluation, and it included mixed-methods of data collection. The model focused attention on (1) scientific evidence, (2) cost-benefit differential, (3) underlying values, and, (4) unintended consequences. Data came from archived documents as well as six semi-structured interviews with stakeholders and survey data from 23 student participants. The findings for the general-orientation course, Special Education Programs and Practices, revealed mixed results concerning multicultural awareness on the part of student participants. However, it seemed to have influenced their lesson design and made a difference in other areas. Some multicultural awareness concepts frequented the discussion board. The specialized course, Assistive Technology, which had more frequent communication between UNT and UCG on the discussion board, suggested larger increases in students’ multicultural awareness. With respect to both courses, the stakeholders recommended that the structure be strengthened for non-bilingual instructors and students to be able to communicate more freely.

ABRA: Online Reading Support. Evaluation Report and Executive Summary - McNally, Sandra; Ruiz-Valenzuela, Jenifer; Rolfe, Heather (Education Endowment Foundation, 2016)
Abracadabra (ABRA) is a 20-week online literacy program composed of phonic fluency and comprehension activities based around a series of age-appropriate texts. Four 15-minute sessions per week are delivered by a teaching assistant (TA) to groups of three to five pupils. This report summarizes the findings of a randomized controlled trial assessing the impact of ABRA on literacy outcomes for Year 1 pupils. The trial also assesses the impact of an offline, paper and pencil version of the same intervention (referred to here at "the non-Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) intervention"). There were 51 participating schools and 2,241 pupils at randomization, and a total of 48 schools and 1,884 pupils were included in the final analysis (84% of the initial pupils at randomization). The trial took place between October 2014 and May 2015. Fifty-one schools were randomly assigned to either receive some version of the intervention or to act as a "control" school delivering business as usual. In the schools receiving the intervention, pupils were randomized to receive one of the following options: (1) ABRA, (2) the non-ICT intervention, and (3) standard literacy provision. The process evaluation involved observing sessions to understand a variety of factors in the intervention. These included an evaluation of which elements contributed to successful implementation, the perceptions and experiences of TAs and project leads, levels of pupil engagement, and the mechanisms behind the estimated impacts. This was an efficacy study, due to the involvement of the developer in the delivery of the program. Key conclusions of this report are: (1) The children who received ABRA, or its offline alternative were found to make two and three months' progress in literacy respectively compared to the children who received standard provision. This positive result would be unlikely to occur by chance; (2) For both ABRA and the offline alternative, the impact for children eligible for free school meals and children with below average pre-test outcomes was larger than for all pupils; (3) Successful implementation contributed to a well-designed and delivered training program which emphasized fidelity and consistency, enforced by ongoing support from the project team; (4) The process evaluation found that both the ICT and non-ICT interventions may be best delivered in groups of similar rather than mixed ability. The process evaluation also suggested minor changes to the intervention to make it more culturally relevant to British pupils, and to remove some repetition in the non-ICT program; and (5) Future research will examine whether ABRA or the non-ICT intervention can be successfully delivered at scale, and will look at longer-term impacts through assessing Key Stage 1 data from this trial.

Educational design research - McKenney, Susan; Reeves, Thomas C. (Handbook of research on educational communications and technology, 2013)
Educational design research is a genre of research in which the iterative development of solutions to practical and complex educational problems provides the setting for scientific inquiry. The solutions can be educational products, processes, programs, or policies. Educational design research not only targets solving significant problems facing educational practitioners but at the same time seeks to discover new knowledge that can inform the work of others facing similar problems. Working systematically and simultaneously toward these dual goals is perhaps the most defining feature of educational design research. This chapter seeks to clarify the nature of educational design research by distinguishing it from other types of inquiry conducted in the field of educational communications and technology. Examples of design research conducted by different researchers working in the field of educational communications and technology are described. The chapter concludes with a discussion of several important issues facing educational design researchers as they pursue future work using this innovative research approach.

Vocational education and training for African development: a literature review - McGrath, Simon; Ramsarup, Presha; Zeelen, Jacques; Wedekind, Volker; Allais, Stephanie; Lotz-Sisitka, Heila; Monk, David; Openjuru, George; Russon, Jo-Anna (Journal of Vocational Education & Training, 2020)
The SDGs mark the clearest global acceptance yet that the previous approach to development was unsustainable. In VET, UNESCO has responded by developing a clear account of how a transformed VET must be part of a transformative approach to development. It argues that credible, comprehensive skills systems can be built that can support individuals, communities, and organisations to generate and maintain enhanced and just livelihood opportunities. However, the major current theoretical approaches to VET are not up to this challenge. In the context of Africa, we seek to address this problem through a presentation of literatures that contribute to the theorisation of this new vision. They agree that the world is not made up of atomised individuals guided by a “hidden hand”. Rather, reality is heavily structured within political economies that have emerged out of contestations and compromises in specific historical and geographical spaces. Thus, labour markets and education and training systems have arisen, characterised by inequalities and exclusions. These specific forms profoundly influence individuals’ and communities’ views about the value of different forms of learning and working. However, they do not fully define what individuals dream, think and do. Rather, a transformed and transformative VET for Africa is possible.

Handbook of Vocational Education and Training : Developments in the Changing World of Work - McGrath, Simon; Mulder, Martin; Papier, Joy; Suart, Rebecca (Springer International Publishing, 2019)
This handbook brings together and promotes research on the area of vocational education and training (VET). It analyzes current and future economic and labor market trends and relates these to likely implications for vocational education and training. It questions how VET engages with the growing power of human development approaches and with the sustainable development agenda. Equity and inclusion are discussed in a range of ways by the authors and the consideration of the construction of these terms is an important element of the handbook. It further addresses both the overall notion of system reform, at different scales, and what is known about particular technologies of systems reform across a variety of settings. Vocational learning and VET teacher/trainer education are discussed from a comparative perspective. National and comparative experiences are also shared on questions of equity and efficiency in funding in terms of those that fund and are funded, and for a range of funding methodologies. As well as reviewing existing gaps, this handbook is looking forward in identifying promising new directions in research and environment.Areas covered:The Changing World of Work | Editors: Margarita Pavlova and Salim AkoojeeSkills for Sustainable Human Development | Editor: Lesley PowellPlanning and Reforming Skills Systems | Editor: Robert PalmerPrivate Training Markets | Editors: Michael Gessler, Larissa Freund and Susanne PetersVocational Learning | Editors: Karen Evans and Natasha KershCompetence and Excellence | Editor: Kirby BarrickMeasuring Learning and Instructional Performance | Editor: Esther WintherSupporting Learners | Editor: Joy PapierVET Teacher/Trainer Education | Editor: Volker Wedekind

Vocational Education and Training for Sustainability in South Africa: The Role of Public and Private Provision - McGrath, Simon; Akoojee, Salim (International Journal of Educational Development, 2009)
Written in the twilight of the Mbeki Presidency, this paper considers the role that skills development has in the sustainability of the South African political-economic project. It explores some of the disarticulations of public policy and argues that these both undermine public sector delivery and open up opportunities for private provision to be, under certain circumstances, more responsive to the challenges of national development. We argue that there is a possibility that the state could work more smartly with both sets of providers. Crucially, however, this would necessitate working more smartly within itself. This was a major plank of the Mbeki strategy but it has failed conspicuously with regard to the Education-Labour relationship. Whether a new President can achieve a radical reworking of this relationship may be an important indicator of the viability of any new development project. (Contains 1 table.)

Vocational education and training for development: A policy in need of a theory? - McGrath, Simon (International Journal of Educational Development, 2012)
The current decade has seen a significant return of interest in vocational education and training (VET) amongst the international policy community. This rise in policy and programmatic interest in VET's role in development, however, stands in contrast to the state of the academic debate. Whilst there have continued to be both policy and academic developments in VET in OECD countries; in the South there has been a paucity of VET research and little in the way of theoretical exploration. Rather, the academic orthodoxy in the international education and development field is dismissive of VET's possible contribution. Given the return of the policy interest in VET for development, and the possibilities of a broader vision of education–development relations beyond 2015, when the MDGs end, it is time to revisit the role of VET in development from an explicitly theoretical stance. In this article, I argue that the current approach to VET is grounded in an outmoded model of development, whilst the academic critique of VET in developing countries is clearly long outdated. In contrast, I examine the implications for VET of recent trends in thinking about development through the exploration of three particular theoretical approaches: human rights, capabilities and integrated human development. I conclude by considering the purposes, natures and possibilities of VET as a means of human development.

Improving Learning in Primary Schools of Developing Countries: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Experiments - McEwan, Patrick J. (Review of Educational Research, 2015)
I gathered 77 randomized experiments (with 111 treatment arms) that evaluated the effects of school-based interventions on learning in developing-country primary schools. On average, monetary grants and deworming treatments had mean effect sizes that were close to zero and not statistically significant. Nutritional treatments, treatments that disseminated information, and treatments that improved school management or supervision, had small mean effect sizes (0.04–0.06) that were not always robust to controls for study moderators. The largest mean effect sizes included treatments with computers or instructional technology (0.15); teacher training (0.12); smaller classes, smaller learning groups within classes, or ability grouping (0.12); contract or volunteer teachers (0.10); student and teacher performance incentives (0.09); and instructional materials (0.08). Metaregressions suggested that the effects of contract teachers and materials were partly accounted for by composite treatments that included training and/or class size reduction. There are insufficient data to judge the relative cost-effectiveness of categories of interventions.

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.
