Gender Transformation Experiences among Women Leaders in the Western Cape TVET Sector: A Narrative Response - Bonzet, Rene; Frick, Beatrice Liezel (EDUCATION AS CHANGE, 2019)
Leadership structures in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges in South Africa face stark gender inequalities. Narratives of women currently in TVET leadership positions in the Western Cape province of South Africa might shed light on gender transformation in this sector. This article provides an insider perspective on 10 purposively selected respondents' shared experiences during their careers as women leaders through a narrative methodology. The data produced themes like family roles and a professional career balance, stages in becoming a leader, gender-related notions, leadership contexts, and strategies to manage gendered experiences. The analytical framework developed illustrates how these themes were reconciled with a structured method of narrative analysis, described as a problem-solution approach, analysing raw data for five elements of plot structure, namely characters, setting, problem, actions, and resolutions. Aligning the conceptual and analytical frameworks facilitated re-storying inside a plot-structured narrative. The results reported gender transformation progress regarding the career progression of women leaders. Conversely, progress concerning gender stereotyping and men-to-women and women-to-women discrimination was unsatisfactory, causing some respondents to abandon leadership ambitions. Although the small sample size precludes any claim to generalisability, the reported narratives serve as a guideline in addressing all-inclusive gender transformation in TVET college leadership.\n

Developing a Rubric to Assess 3rd-5th Grade Student Understanding of Science Concepts via Screencast Models - Boughey, Sarah (California State University, Long Beach, 2019)
The purpose of this project was to develop a rubric to assess third through fifth grade students’ scientific understanding through NGSS modeling created via screencasts. Scientific modeling can better capture student understanding through screencasts because it shows student thinking through drawing, labeling, writing, and explaining verbally in recordings. It is easier for young children and English leaners to express their thinking by talking than by writing. This project utilized research on science rubric creation, and NGSS modeling to help develop a rubric. Expert reviewer feedback was utilized to revise the rubric into its final version.

Applying the flipped classroom instructional model to rural online tutoring program in upper elementary mathematics - Chen, Q.; Kao, T.-C. (Contemporary Educational Research Quarterly, 2019)
Purpose The purpose of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of applying the Flipped Classroom Instructional Model to the rural online tutoring program for Upper Elementary Mathematics. Design/methodology/approach The study took the unequal-group pretest-posttest quasiexperimental design to conduct the teaching experiment. The research setting was the Digital Partner Online Tutoring Program of National Dong-Hwa University, which was supported by the Ministry of Education of Taiwan government. The participants consist of 54 upper grade students from rural elementary schools, with 25 students in the experimental group and 29 students in the control group. The effectiveness of the experiment was detected by the factorial design of covariance with pretest as covariate and grade level as moderator. Findings The results of the study indicated that the experimental group's overall learning performance on posttests was significantly better than the control group's after the effect of pretests had been controlled. And the differences all achieved medium effect size. Among the four mathematical concepts, the differences on the two more advanced ones, "Common Factor" and "Common Multiple" even achieved large effect size. Originality/value The application of "Flipped classroom model" in various fields provides a prospective possibility for teaching innovation. Its critical factors, "using technology" and "participatory interaction", exactly match the characteristics of the on-line tutoring program, including the on-line learning environment and the one-on-one interaction. The study provides empirical evidence for the effectiveness of applying the Flipped Classroom Model to the online tutoring program. © Centre for Educational Research and Evaluation 2019.

Creating the golden triangle of evidence-informed education technology with EDUCATE - Cukurova, Mutlu; Luckin, Rosemary; Clark-Wilson, Alison (British Journal of Educational Technology, 2019)
EDUCATE is a London-based programme that supports the development of research-informed educational technology (EdTech), allowing entrepreneurs and start-ups to create their products and services, and simultaneously grow their companies in a more evidence-informed manner. The programme partners businesses with researchers who mentor, guide and support this research journey, a key aspect of which is the evaluation of the company’s EdTech product or service. However, conducting impact evaluations of technology in education is challenging, particularly for early stage technologies, as rapid cycles of innovation and change are part of their essence. Here, we present the pragmatic approach to evidence-informed education technology design and impact evaluation, as developed and adopted by the EDUCATE programme. The research process is shaped by the core principles of evidence-informed decision making detailed in the paper. The contributions of the paper are threefold. First, it defines and details an academia-industry-education collaboration model centred on a research training programme. Second, it presents emerging impact results of the programme. Third, it provides clear reflections on the challenges encountered during the implementation of the model in the EdTech ecosystem of London, which should be addressed if we are to move towards evidence-informed EdTech globally.

A Model for Wholesale and Retail Assessment Centres in Regulated Occupational Learning in South Africa - Damons, Deonita; Cape Peninsula University of Technology, South Africa; le Grange, Jason J; Mason, Roger B; Louw, Steven W (2019)
South Africa's new occupational and vocational qualifications require assessment centres with a national footprint to conduct national summative assessments which are convenient and cost effective for learners. This new assessment process requires specialised facilities, but few current facilities can provide these. The research project proposed a model which is able to serve the needs of the quality assurance body and industry and be appropriate to the retail sector occupational qualifications. A qualitative method was used, involving a literature review and secondary data analysis; small focus groups; semi-structured interviews; and follow-up workshops to peer review the findings. The participants included industry experts, education providers and quality assurance experts. Two models were identified and considered, namely: Model A, which involves private businesses that can be accredited to become assessment centres; and Model B, which uses Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges for all national assessments. The overall finding was that Model B is more suitable.

Evaluation of outcome-based accounting education and training in selected colleges in West Oromia, Ethiopia - Deresse Mersha Lakew; Mohammed Getahun Musa (Business, Management and Education, 2019)
Purpose: The demand for accountants is increasing from time to time because of the increase in the complexity of the business environment. Higher education institutions are responsible for producing well qualified and ethical accountant required by different organisations. Specifically, Technical and Vocational education and Training (TVET) colleges play a great role in training middle and lower level accountant in Ethiopia. However, academicians, practitioner and employers are raising concern on the excellence and significance of training given in TVET colleges. The objective of this research is to evaluate the education and training in accounting offered by public and private colleges in West Oromia region, Ethiopia. Research Methodology: This study used the cross-sectional survey to obtain the opinion of the trainee, trainers and college deans on how TVET in accounting program is performing about each of the components of CIPP model and identify the knowledge and skill gap as compared to the actual work environment. Both descriptive and inferential statistical tools were used in the analysis. Findings: Examination of the existing TVET in accounting curriculum found that it has a limitation concerning relevance and content. The study further found that there is a lack of sufficient inputs such as an adequate number of qualified trainers, computers and Reference books. Trainers mainly use lecture methods, and there are various problems associated with continuous and summative evaluation. Therefore, it is recommended that the existing curriculum should be revisited, sufficient training inputs should be availed and cooperative training should be strengthened.Research Limitations: This research is based on the respondent’s opinion from a limited part of the country. The nationwide survey is required to conclude at the country level. Practical Implication: the finding and recommendation given in this study can be used in strengthening TVET in accounting education and training in Ethiopia. Originality / Value: Previous studies investigated the challenges of TVET education and training in general terms, and this specific study which focuses on TVET in accounting is the first attempt in Ethiopia.

Developing soft skills through project-based learning in technical and vocational institutions - Dogara, Gimba; Bin Saud, Muhammad Sukri; Bin Kamin, Yusri; Bin Abd Hamid, Mohd Zolkifli; Bin Nordin, Mohd Safarin (International Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering, 2019)
© BEIESP. Soft skills have become critical in the preparation of employable graduates. The education system must, therefore, aim to ensure quality training for the production of employable graduates. Soft skills are personal abilities that one retains and can adequately be nurtured through active participation of students in the teaching and learning process. It is validated by researchers that the prevalent employability skills deficiencies have been one of the main causes of unemployment globally. Consequently, soft skills have all the potentials for equipping graduates with adequate employability skills. Thus, this study investigated the effect of project-based learning on the development of soft skills among technical students at technical and vocational colleges, Kaduna State, Nigeria Smart PLS software was used to test the developed model. As the sample size for this study was relatively small, the researchers were not certain to have normally distributed data. Subsequently, Smart PLS is appropriate for non-normally distributed data and therefore, it was used to simultaneously evaluate the measurement model, structural models and to confirm the convergent and discriminant validity of the measure. The study revealed that collaborative skills construct have a significant positive relationship with soft skills of technical students at technical and vocational colleges, while communication skills, initiative skills, and problem-solving skills have a positive insignificant relationship with soft skills of technical students at technical and vocational colleges. The findings of this study suggest that the curriculum of technical programs in Nigerian technical colleges need to be reviewed and geared more towards activity-based teaching and learning to enable technical students effectively develop soft skills for employment.

Students' potential abilities as correlates of self-employment start-up intentions: Evidence from private sector-led technical and vocational education institutions in Nigeria - Edokpolor, James Edomwonyi; Abusomwan, Vero Iyalekhue (International Journal of Learning, Teaching and Educational Research, 2019)
© 2019 Society for Research and Knowledge Management. All rights reserved. The current study examines the correlation between technical and vocational education and training (TVET) students' potential abilities and self-employment start-up intentions. The participants of the survey were 209 students of TVET institutions in Nigeria. Using a Bivariate Pearson Correlation Matrix and Simple Linear Regression tests of relationships, the results revealed a significant relationship between TVET students' potential abilities and self-employment start-up intentions. More specifically, the results revealed significant correlations among potential abilities (e.g., creativity and innovation skills, ICT functional literacy and numeracy skills, communication and collaboration skills, critical thinking and problem solving skills) and the intentions of TVET students to venture into self-employment upon graduation. The results also revealed significant correlations among potential abilities (e.g., managerial and leadership skills, flexibility and adaptability skills, lifelong learning and self-direction skills) and the intentions of TVET students to venture into self-employment upon graduation. Contrarily, the results revealed that there is no significant correlations among potential abilities (e.g., social and cross-cultural skills, desirability and feasibility skills) and the intentions of TVET students to venture into self-employment upon graduation. Implications, limitations and logical conclusions were spotted out in the study.

Secondary Vocational Education in South Africa: Can We Learn From Portugal? - Engelbrecht, Mardine; Cape Peninsula University of Technology, South Africa, Cape Town; Tome, Eduardo; Spencer, John (2019)
The economy of Europe, and Portugal in particular, is doing well, with tourism as the driver! The same tourism-phenomenon took place in South Africa after the end of apartheid in 1994. However, despite tourism programmes being accredited in both countries, there exists a perceived problem in South Africa, not shared in Portugal, that the vocational programmes do not meet the specific needs on the tourism industry. Therefore, by introducing vocational tourism education, both Portugal and South Africa needed to use this specific system to respond to identified shortages of occupational skills within the Portuguese, and definitely the South African, labour markets. The National Certificate Vocational (NCV) tourism programme was introduced in 2007 at Technical, Vocational Education, and Training colleges (TVET) in South Africa. This study specifically chose Portugal because the secondary vocational system, reintroduced in that country in 1983 after almost completely disappearing for a decade and a half (after the abolition of technical education), is proving to be a viable alternative to "formal' education, certainly in combating unemployment in the tourism sector. The secondary education curriculum in Portugal was reformed in 2004, creating technological courses, which facilitated integration into the employment market. The initial South African research (2014-2017) compared vocational education in South Africa to other European countries (specifically Switzerland and Germany), identifying the need for a properly administered and controlled dual vocational education system in South Africa, as is currently followed in Portugal. This paper focuses on how the present NCV tourism programme in TVET colleges in South Africa may be improved by following the present Portuguese vocational education model. The NCV tourism programme was designed to provide both theoretical and practical knowledge of the tourism industry in South Africa, aiming to improve the employment possibilities for NCV tourism in graduates in the wider tourism labour market in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. This paper also supports the notion that an updated NCV tourism programme could learn from the Portuguese system on how to apply vocational tourism education, by including more practical and structured industry exposure. A literature review established that Portugal's secondary vocational education is thriving and their primary goal is the development of young employees' vocational training, which allows the development of specific skills indispensable to an occupation, such as tourism, as can be seen in the breakdown of the programmes discussed in the 'results' section. The original research on the NCV tourism programme was conducted in the Western Cape in the form of an empirical survey to gather information using research questionnaires, and this paper proposes the use of both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, to also include a comparison on the guidelines, investments and results on the Portuguese and the South African experience on the last years.

Internet skills for expediting students’ learning - Francis, Bakare Shola; Latib, Azlan Bin Abdul; Bin Kamin, Yusri; Nordin, Mohd Safarin; Subari, Kamalularifin (International Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering, 2019)
©BEIESP. The accomplishment of any educational system despite the strategic design depends to a large extent on the quality of teachers. Therefore, this study was carried out to determine the internet skills needs of vocational and technology teachers to facilitate students’ learning in Nigeria technical and vocational institutions. The study adopted a survey research design. The population for the study consisted of 215 technology and vocational education teachers from Six (6) south western states of Nigeria. A research question was developed to guide the study. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from the respondents which was duly validated by experts. Cronbach Alpha reliability technique was used to determine the internal consistency of the questionnaire items at 0.91. Data collected were analysed through Confirmatory factor Analysis (CFA) using Statistics Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and Analysis Moment of statistics (AMOS). After a preliminary analysis (descriptive), data from respondents were found suitable for inclusion in Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The CFA was performed and the results of the analysis support the one-factor model of the internet skills component for facilitating students’ learning. The study found that technology teachers require nine (9) internet proficiencies under investigation. Thus, it was recommended that conferences, workshops, seminars, training and retraining programmes should be organized at regular interval for teachers in order to enhance their competency for the purpose of boosting their performance in teaching.

Role of Technical Teachers in Public Relations towards Optimizing Students’ Enrollment in Technical and Vocational Education Training in Nigeria - Gowon Kerter Eric; Auta Mohammed Adamu; Ibeneme Ogochukwu (International Journal of Social Sciences & Educational Studies, 2019)
This study was undertaken to investigate the role of technical teachers in public relations towards optimizing students’ enrolment in TVET programmes in Nigeria. Two specific objectives and corresponding research questions were generated with a null hypothesis formulated respectively to guide the study. Descriptive survey design approach was adopted for the study. A 30 item questionnaire structured in a five point rating scale was used to collect data for the study. The instrument was face validated by three experts and a reliability coefficient of 0.79 was obtained with Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient method. The population of this study was 216 respondents made up of 36 technical teachers teaching in the three Government Science and Technical Colleges, Federal Science and Technical Colleges and a Vocational Centre within the study area, 180 NTC III and NVC III students of the colleges/centre. The population for this study was manageable; hence, there was no sampling and sampling techniques in this study. The entire population was used as sample in the study. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions, while z-test statistics was used to test the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of this study revealed among others the public relation activities practiced by technical teachers in Adamawa State colleges/centre such as; granting audience to the press on TVET programmes; creating awareness of TVET through community organizations, reaching parents through newsletter and contacts of technical teachers with alumni members. Strategies such as technical teachers visiting religious and social gathering to create public awareness on the need for TVET enrollment with gender equity, exhibits departmental work displayed at stores, fairs and festivals were revealed as those public relation role which technical teachers can play to improve students’ enrollment. Consequently, it was recommended among others that technical teachers should be actively involved in public relations activities to inform the school and the larger community on the career viability of the range of TVET programmes offered, so men and women can make informed vocational selection.

Understanding work-based learning in technical and vocational education and training in Nigeria - Haruna, Rabiu; Kamin, Yusri Bin; Buntat, Yahya Bin (International Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering, 2019)
© BEIESP. Work-based learning in technical and vocational education and training (TVET) is a separate pedagogy that strengthens the delivery of vocational education and training, and requires students to maintain balance in being a student and a trainee. While the concept of work-based learning is overwhelming, its practice in Nigerian Institutions is relatively low. This paper, therefore, investigates the awareness level of work-based learning in TVET in Nigerian education system. The study participants are 150 TVET Lecturers in Tertiary Institutions that have TVET departments. Mixed method research was adopted because of its ability to provide in-depth discussions into the investigation; questionnaires were developed in a two-step revision stage. First, a structured questionnaire was designed to collect quantitative and qualitative data. Second, validity test was carried out in which the questionnaire was applied to ten TVET lecturers outside the area of study to obtain feedback about the clarity of the questions, the use of appropriate terminology, and the possible omission of important issues. In follow up to validate the responses a focus group discussion was conducted to clarify some pertinent trends captured from the survey. Data collected were coded and analysed with SPSS. Findings among others revealed that there is low level of work-based learning awareness in Nigeria, adopting work-based learning in TVET program will increase students’ responsibilities related to acquiring new skills, which will expand their roles in contributing to nation’s building.

Functional approaches for applying workbased learning into electrical and electronic technology education in Nigeria - Haruna, Rabiu; Kamin, Yusri Bin; Buntat, Yahya Bin; Shuaibu, Halliru; Cledumas, Abdullahi Musa (International Journal of Engineering and Advanced Technology, 2019)
© 2019, Blue Eyes Intelligence Engineering and Sciences Publication. All rights reserved. The study examined functional approaches for applying work-based learning (WBL) into Electrical and Electronic Technology (EET) in northwest Nigeria. Survey research design was adopted to carry out the study. Random sampling technique was used to select two tertiary institutions offering Electrical and Electronic Technology. The entire 32 lecturers of EET from the two tertiary institutions and 64 supervisors of registered Electrical Technology firms in the two states making a total of 96 respondents were used for the study. Data were obtained using structured 48-item questionnaire titled ‘Functional Approaches for Applying Work-based Learning Questionnaire (FAAWBLQ)'. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentages and mean ratings. In interpreting the results, work-based learning experience with percentage score of 50% and above were interpreted as ‘Practiced’ while those with less than 50% were interpreted as ‘Not Practiced’. Using 2.50 as the cut-off point, items with mean values of 2.50 and above were interpreted as ‘Agreed’. The results of the study showed that only 2 out of the 17 identified work-based learning components were practiced for skill acquisition in Electrical Technology in Northwest Nigeria. In addition, the study identified administrative, school-industry and resource inputs approach for effective application of WBL that will guarantee skill acquisition in Northwest Nigeria. The study recommended policies to strengthen a dynamic and robust WBL in technical and vocation education (TVE) in Nigeria and that work-based learning framework in Nigeria be carefully developed and overseen by Industrial Training Unit (ITU) of education sector to coordinate the synergy between training institutions and industry for improved skill acquisition of the teaming Nigerian youths.

Learning technology and disability—Overcoming barriers to inclusion: Evidence from a multicountry study - Hersh, Marion; Mouroutsou, Stella (British Journal of Educational Technology, 2019)
The paper uses data from a 15-country study to discuss the factors which affect the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and learning technologies by disabled people and consequently their access to education. Significant differences were found both between and within countries: income and language were the main factors affecting availability. Thus, the greatest availability was in the higher income English-speaking countries and the richer European countries. The main barriers to technology use included cost, lack of funding and lack of information. A particular disparity in technology access was found between the English-speaking European population and Aboriginal speakers of indigenous languages in Australia, with considerably greater access by the former than the latter group. A number of recommendations are presented to increase access to learning and assistive technologies by disabled people. They include encouragement for developers to produce free of charge (minority language) technologies, research on more effective provision of technologies and personal assistance, assistive technology centres in all learning institutions, simple funding mechanisms and a fund to support technology provision in poorer countries.

Technical and vocational education and training in Uganda: A critical analysis - Ibrahim, Mike Okumu; School of Economics, Kampala, Uganda, Makerere University; Bbaale, Edward (Development Policy Review, 2019)
This article undertakes a diagnostic study of the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sub‐sector in Uganda, with a view to characterizing the sub‐sector and identifying its potential strengths and weakness. We undertook a cross‐sectional pre‐survey of purposively selected key stakeholders in the TVET sub‐sector. We selected performance indicators following their importance in influencing the TVET reform process. Both qualitative and quantitative data was solicited from the stakeholders. Quantitative data was collected through stakeholder‐specific structured questionnaires, whilst qualitative data was collected through desk review and field visits, individual focused interviews and focus group discussions. Our findings indicate that financing and planning constraints have resulted in poor quality equipment, under‐ and ill‐trained staff, limited adoption of a competence‐based education and training (CBET) curriculum, not to mention the supervision inadequacies of TVET institutions. Besides, the limited TVET sub‐sector interaction with the private sector has incapacitated TVET curriculum development to nurture skills demanded by the private sector. Furthermore, backward technology use in the private sector has equally inhibited the success of student attachment programmes. Finally, legal ambiguities have perpetuated a qualification jungle and overlapping curricula.

Whose fault is failure? Contested perspectives of academic support in tertiary educational institutions in South Africa - Jeffery, David; Johnson, David (Research in Comparative and International Education, 2019)
© The Author(s) 2019. This paper explores the argument that to widen participation in higher education, educational institutions should bear a greater responsibility for students’ learning. Central to this debate is the notion of ‘academic support’. There are many perspectives on what works to scaffold student participation and learning but rarely are the perspectives of those receiving support taken into account. This paper reports the findings of an exploratory ethnographic study in which students in a vocational college in South Africa reflected on the nature of academic support and access to it. Student narratives that underpin their understandings of how the support system ‘worked’, and what responsibilities they and the college respectively bore for their studies, are compared to the official prescript on student support services in South Africa – the so-called ‘Student Support Services Manual’ which was developed by the South African Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET). The data indicate sharp incongruences in thinking. While the student support services manual maintains that students are a product of their disadvantaged contexts and therefore require an institutional form of academic support, students themselves placed much less responsibility for the provision of academic support on the colleges. Instead, they attributed their success or failure to ‘character’ and their own dispositions towards learning. This is an unexpected finding in the context of an often highly charged debate on the factors that constrain learning and learning outcomes. This paper argues that it is this ‘locus of control’ that undermines the idea that student success is dependent on prescription alone.

Interconnectedness of Reward Dissatisfaction of Public Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Educators with Educator Turnover Intentions and Prolonged Tenure - Jeremiah, Andrew; Senior Lecturer - Human Resource Management Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST), Namibia, Windhoek (2019)
Educator turnover intentions and prolonged tenure is a huge problem in Public TVET institutions in the Western Cape in South Africa. Educator turnover and prolonged tenure intentions is interconnected to educators ' dissatisfaction with rewards (intrinsic and extrinsic). Public TVET educators ' dissatisfaction with rewards result in increased turnover and lack of the desire to prolong tenure among educators. In 2006 educator turnover increased by 5.6%. Due to this problem the South African government was forced to replace about 20 000 educators annually in the education sector in all provinces. The major problem encountered by the government was that during this period of time, was that it was not producing enough teachers to fill in the gaps created increased educator turnover. As a result, high turnover experienced in educational institutions had a negative effect on the quality of service delivery. A structured self-administered Job Descriptive Index (JDI) questionnaire was utilized in collecting data. Data was processed using Software Package for Social Science (SPSS) Version 23. Results revealed that dissatisfaction with rewards (extrinsic and intrinsic) increased turnover and lack of a desire to prolong tenure among Public TVET educators in Public TVET institutions in the Western Cape. Recommendations were that Public TVET institutions needed to improve rewards (intrinsic and extrinsic) to manage increased turnover and lack of a desire by educators to prolong tenure. Therefore, it was recommended that Public TVET had to adopt the Total Rewards model invented by World at Work to manage the problem of increased Public TVET educator turnover.

Reducing Inequality Through Dynamic Complementarity: Evidence from Head Start and Public School Spending. - Johnson, R.C.; Jackson, C.K. (American Economic Journal: Economic Policy, 2019)

Gender differential effects of technical and vocational training: Empirical evidence for Tanzania - Joseph, Cornel; Leyaro, Vincent (CREDIT Research Paper, 2019)
This paper investigates the gender differential effect of technical and vocational educational and training (TVET) in Tanzania using data from the 2014 Integrated Labour Force Survey (ILFS). The multinomial logit model results for employment mobility show that TVET training significantly improves males as well as females chances of entering into formal employment while at the same reduces their probability of working in informal, agriculture or being unemployed. The effects are much higher for females relatively to males almost for all categories of education and training. The results further show that though the TVET training increases males as well as females earnings significantly, though the returns to TVET are substantially higher and statistically significant for females than males. The decomposed gender earnings gap using Oaxaca and Blinder (1973) decomposition technique reveal there is a significant gender earning gap in Tanzania, where males tends to earn significantly higher income by 58 percent than females. Clearly, two implications come out here: one, as TVET and general education increases the probability of females more than males to be in the formal employment, investing in girls skills training and education will address the problem of rising youth unemployment and formalize the economy. Two, as returns to TVET and general education is substantially high for females than males, investing in girls' skills skills training and education will address the problem of rising inequality and by extension the higher level of poverty rate in the country.

Enhancing self-reliant of students in technical and vocational skills through work-based learning for 4th industrial revolution; Review of Nigerian higher institutions - Jwasshaka, Shirka Kassam; Mohd Amin, Nor Fadila (International Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering, 2019)
© BEIESP. Journal writing is a common practice for pre-service teachers to reflect on their learning and teaching experiences about the course in the campus. Dewey (1933) believed that thinking is natural but that reflective habits of mind needed to be taught. This study aims to investigate the use of written journal to promote reflective thinking by the pre-service teachers. The case study was conducted among the twenty pre-service teachers who carried out a micro-teaching session in a childrens literature course. A content analysis was carried out on the reflective journals written by the pre-service teachers. The findings indicated that the pre-service teachers employed five strategies of reflective thinking such as identifying, associating, analysing, assessing and decision-making in their written journals. It is recommended for teacher education to establish learning and teaching environment and promote a shared practice among the peers that facilitate reflective thinking.

The Potential of MOOCs for Large-Scale Teacher Professional Development in Contexts of Mass Displacement - Kennedy, Eileen; Laurillard, Diana (London Review of Education, 2019)
The mass displacement of people across the world, currently estimated at 65 million, creates a massive demand for new forms of education for children, young people and adults. However, this cannot be addressed without attending to what this means for teachers and other professionals involved in education and training. Clearly, there is a need for large-scale teacher professional development (TPD). Digital technology has the potential to meet this demand, but challenges are presented by the poor digital infrastructure in contexts of mass displacement. Data from two projects are analysed to explore the viability of scaling up TPD in the form of co-designed massive open online courses (MOOCs). The first data set is from a co-designed TPD MOOC project Blended Learning Essentials, to show that digital technology can be effective for scaling up TPD, but that a sustainability plan must be in place from the outset. The second data set is from a project that built on the first to run stakeholder co-design workshops in Lebanon, as a way of developing large-scale TPD in this most challenging context. Lebanon has the highest proportion of refugee to host communities in the world. This case study indicates that MOOCs could be viable in such a context, but also highlights the need to balance the generic principles being offered with a focus on localized practice. A theory of change is presented to outline a method of meeting these challenges by employing a co-design methodology to create self-sustaining digital TPD in the context of Lebanon, and to test this model with the contexts of mass displacement experienced by other participants in the MOOC.

Use of remedial teaching approaches for dyslexic students: Experiences of remedial teachers working in urban Pakistan - Khalid, M.; Anjum, G. (Cogent Psychology, 2019)
The purpose of this study was to examine the experiences of remedial teachers while teaching dyslexic students in the urban hub of Pakistan—Karachi. The study explored assessment related experiences, the effectiveness of these approaches, and the challenges incurred by the teachers. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine remedial teachers: Interpretive Phenomenological method was used for analysis of their experiences. Results yielded six major themes: Assessment process (Pre- and follow-up assessments), Effective Teaching Techniques (the Orton-Gillingham approach, Sequential approach, Technology-assisted learning, Integrative approach, and Play Therapy), Common challenges (stigma and denial, late diagnosis, behavioral problems, slow progress, and incongruence in teaching), and Role of family (role of parents, and role of other family members). Based on the interview responses, the most effective and popular approach used was the Orton-Gillingham approach, which incorporated multiple senses in the learning process, and was altered to meet the specific needs of a student. Results, implications, and directions for future research are also discussed. © 2019, © 2019 The Author(s).

Further Training Needs for TVET Trainers: Lessons from a National Survey on Rwandan TVET Trainers' Instructional Competencies - Kim, Woocheol; Shin, Heh Youn; Woo, Heajung; Kim, Jiyoung (Journal of Technical Education and Training, 2019)
Recently the Republic of Rwanda has expanded the national TVET system in response to the country's growing need for a skilled youth population. However, policymakers have generally overlooked that the quality of the TVET. system as a whole largely depends on the quality of TVET trainers. Recognising this lack, we conducted a national survey on TVET trainer's instructional competencies to gather information about the current status of TVET trainers' teaching quality. Additionally, after operating a pilot training program for TVET trainers at the RTTI, the national training institution for TVET trainers, we executed the same survey to the training participants to examine their instructional competencies. Then we compared its results in comparison to the results attained from the national survey. All assessments were done by measuring TVET trainers - and students' perceptions of TVET trainers' teaching behaviors. This research represents the first efforts to understand the current level of TVET trainers' teaching skills in Rwanda. Also, the survey results of the teaching behaviors of TVET trainers who received the training indicated the positive effect of the training. Implications of this research at the individual (trainers), institutional, and national levels are discussed at the end.\n

Large-scale studies of holistic professional competence in vocational education and training (VET). The case of Norway - Lahn, Leif Chr; Nore, Hæge (International Journal for Research in Vocational Education and Training, 2019)
© 2019 European Research Network Vocational Education and Training. All rights reserved. Context: In this paper, we review and discuss the piloting in Norway of a German methodology for competence diagnostics in vocational education and training: the Competence Development and Assessment in TVET (COMET) project. Our overarching theme is determining to what extent such large-scale assessment systems are valid for international comparisons in this sector. Method: We present the theoretical underpinnings of the COMET model and position our discussion within the broader context of the concept of “professional competence” (berufliche Kompetenz) and methodological guidelines for its measurement. Terminology from psychometrics on “measurement equivalence” is described and serves as a template for identifying challenges in using the Norwegian data for comparative purposes. Our pilot included students and apprentices in health care, industrial mechanics and electricians and was designed as a three-year follow-up study from the second year of upper secondary school through two years of apprenticeship. Each year, a test on professional competence and a context survey were administered. Similar studies have been conducted in Germany, China and South Africa. Results: In line with the results from these countries, the Norwegian participants had low scores, particularly the electricians. However, the diagnostic instrument was sensitive to the development of professional competence, and progress on the assessment was influenced by the quality of the learning support in the companies, as reported by apprentices in the context survey. Conclusions: The COMET platform may be a viable prototype for the development of diagnostic tools, which may support the monitoring of quality factors at different levels and inspire local improvement projects in schools, companies and training offices. Such an objective would be in line with the latest summaries of the COMET project, in which its contribution to a model for international large-scale assessment is toned down and replaced by a stronger emphasis on its potential for measuring competence development, evaluating contextual factors and generating data for didactic innovations.

Trajectories of School Recovery After a Natural Disaster: Risk and Protective Factors - Lai, Betty S.; Esnard, Ann-Margaret; Wyczalkowski, Chris; Savage, Ryan; Shah, Hazel (Risk, Hazards & Crisis in Public Policy, 2019)
Disasters may have significant and lasting impacts on educational programs and academic achievement, yet the examination of differing patterns of school recovery after disasters is understudied. This paper focused on two aims: (i) identification of school academic recovery trajectories; and (ii) examination of potential risk factors associated with these trajectories. We used latent class growth analysis to identify school academic recovery trajectories for a cohort of 462 Texas public schools that were in the path of Hurricane Ike in 2008. Using Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) data from 2005 to 2011, we found that attendance and percent of economically disadvantaged youth emerged as significant risk factors for two identified academic recovery trajectories (High-Stable and Low-Interrupted). Higher levels of economically disadvantaged youth were associated with lower likelihood of falling in the High-Stable trajectory, relative to the Low-Interrupted trajectory. Higher levels of attendance were associated with higher likelihood of membership in the High-Stable trajectory, relative to the Low-Interrupted trajectory. These findings are consistent with the notion that disasters do not affect all people or communities equally. Findings highlight the need for policy initiatives that focus on low performing schools, as these schools are at highest risk for adverse outcomes post-disaster.

Development of Competency Framework for Nigerian TVET Teachers in Tertiary TVET Institutions - Lai, Chee Sern; Hamisu, Mohammed Adamu; Salleh, Kahirol Mohd (JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING, 2019)
Competency framework is a tool that determines the needed competencies for individuals in order to curtail the challenges that are existing currently and to uphold sustainable development. From the educational perspective, the competencies of TVET teachers are important as they might affect the teachers' implementation of tasks, career development and graduates' quality. Therefore, this research attempted to develop a competency framework for TVET teachers in Nigerian TVET tertiary institutions based on the Malaysian Human Resource Practitioners Development (MHRDP) Competency Model. The study adopted a survey design and 427 TVET teachers were identified as targeted sample. A set of questionnaire was developed based on the MHRDP Competency Model (alpha=0.61). A total of 218 questionnaires were distributed to five TVET tertiary institutions using stratified sampling technique and 205 questionnaires were successfully returned. Exploratory Factor Analysis was used to analyse the data. The findings revealed that 19 elements of competency were significantly relevant to Nigerian TVET teachers who work at tertiary institutions. The proposed competency framework is beneficial to be used as a guideline for the Nigerian TVET institutions and policy makers to plan the competency training and retraining courses for TVET teachers and staff development.\n

TVET teachers’ perceptions on competencies: An application of Malaysian human resource development practitioners competency model - Lai, Chee Sern; Hamisu, Mohammed Adamu; Salleh, Kahirol Mohd; Adamu, Babayo Yakubu (International Journal of Economics and Business Research, 2019)
Copyright © 2019 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd. Competency of TVET teacher is one of the major factors that influence the quality of TVET graduates and TVET system. This paper attempted to investigate the TVET teachers’ perceptions on the competency needs in Nigerian higher learning institutions based on the competency model of Malaysian human resource development practitioners (MHRDP) which focused on thinking competency, organisational competency, and application competency. This study employed a survey design in which a set of questionnaire was used for data collection. A total of 205 TVET teachers from universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education were involved in this research. Descriptive statistics which involved mean and standard deviation was utilised to analyse the data. The findings revealed that the Nigerian TVET teachers perceived that all elements related to thinking competency, organisational competency, and application competency are important for TVET teachers for higher learning institutions in Nigeria. Therefore, this research suggests that the Nigerian policy makers and the TVET higher learning institutions should provide training to the TVET teachers in order to equip those teachers with the competency elements that are important and relevant to TVET.

The efficacy of learning analytics interventions in higher education: A systematic review - Larrabee Sønderlund, Anders; Hughes, Emily; Smith, Joanne (British Journal of Educational Technology, 2019)
Educational institutions are increasingly turning to learning analytics to identify and intervene with students at risk of underperformance or discontinuation. However, the extent to which the current evidence base supports this investment is currently unclear, and particularly so in relation to the effectiveness of interventions based on predictive models. The aim of the present paper was to conduct a systematic review and quality assessment of studies on the use of learning analytics in higher education, focusing specifically on intervention studies. Search terms identified 689 papers, but only 11 studies evaluated the effectiveness of interventions based on learning analytics. These studies highlighted the potential of such interventions, but the general quality of the research was moderate, and left several important questions unanswered. The key recommendation based on this review is that more research into the implementation and evaluation of scientifically driven learning analytics is needed to build a solid evidence base for the feasibility, effectiveness and generalizability of such interventions. This is particularly relevant when considering the increasing tendency of educational institutions around the world to implement learning analytics interventions with only little evidence of their effectiveness. Practitioner Notes What is already known about this topic? Drop-out rates and underachivement is a significant issue at most Western universities. Learning analytics have been shown to predict student performance and risk of dropping out. Interventions based on learning analytics have emerged in recent years, some reportedly successful. What this paper adds The paper also reviews and synthesizes the evidence on the effectiveness of learning analytics interventions targeting student underperformance, experience and discontinuation. The paper compares and contrasts past and current learning analytics methods and foci, and makes recommendations for the future research and practice. It critically synthesizes the current evidence base on learning analytics interventions, which is a field that is in constant flux and development. Implications for practice and/or policy The paper focuses on an increasing part of higher education with the goal of validating learning analytics methods and usefulness. The paper makes evidence-based recommendations for institutions wishing to implement learning analytics programs and/or interventions. The paper makes evidence-based recommendations for instructors as well as researchers in the field.

Employment Mobility and Returns to Technical and Vocational Training: Empirical Evidence for Tanzania - Leyaro, Vincent; Cornel, Joseph (2019)
This paper examines the employment mobility and returns to technical and vocational training (TVET) relative to general education in Tanzania, using data from the 2014 Integrated Labour Force Survey (ILFS). The result shows that TVET training facilitates individual transition into employment. Both in descriptive statistics and regression results, technical, on the job training, vocational and apprenticeship training are particularly important in acquiring formal employment. The results further show that, though the returns to general education (GED) and TVET are positive and statistically significant, on average those with TVET training are earning relatively less than those with general education, implying lower returns to TVET graduates compared to general education graduates. The descriptive statistics confirm this by showing that, in Tanzania, workers with a university degree earn twice those with technical training and three times those with vocational training. Two implications stand out: technical and vocational training are instrumental in addressing the rising youth unemployment; and, to make it attractive to parents and students governments across the region have to work towards raising the returns to TVET.

ICTs and development in developing countries: a systematic review of reviews - Lwoga, Edda Tandi; Sangeda, Raphael Zozimus (The Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries, 2019)
This systematic review of reviews aimed to explore the contribution of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for development in developing countries. This systematic review of reviews determines and summarizes ICTD research trends, and methodologies and conceptual frameworks used in ICTD research discuss the findings and evidence and then suggest approaches for further research. We reviewed existing systematic reviews published on ICT and development between January 1990 and July 2017. The review of reviews shows that a growing number of ICTD research works have used qualitative research approaches for data collection and analysis. We note several attempts to develop and apply models/frameworks over explanatory and predictive theories, most notably in the area of social, sociotechnical, and technical. Nevertheless, there is limited evidence on the long‐term contribution of ICT use on livelihoods, patterns of economic inequality, human freedom, and well‐being in developing countries. This review of reviews synthesizes existing systematic reviews on the contribution of ICT for development than was previously available for developing countries. This review has the potential for several stakeholders, including the public and private sector, intermediaries, and nonprofit organizations, to utilize the accumulated evidence from selected systematic reviews to enable/improve the appropriate and sustainable use of ICTs for development.

Reengineering mass career acquisition through technical vocational education training counseling in Kenya - Macharia, Muriu Stephen; Department of Human Resource Development. School of Business, Kenya, Karatina University (International Journal of Research In Business and Social Science, 2019)
Vocational and Technical Education forms a very key foundation in enabling a nation to achieve aspired MDGs and SDG. Kenya as a country highly depends on technical skills to achieve The Vision 2030 and Sustainable Development Goals. However, this can only be achieved through proper and realistic career counseling information provided by the counseling teachers at secondary school level. According to KCSE results released every year, majority of the candidates score below grade C+ especially in 2016 and 2017 though above D- which is the requirements for entrance for proficiency level for TVET courses. However, majority of students do not join Vocational or Technical Education due to a missing link between the natures of career counseling services offered at secondary school level. Counselors has expectations and premise that majority of the candidates join trainings at university levels thus package their counseling information on the few ignoring other students. The objective behind this study was to examine the final results scored by students and the subject choice at secondary school, various career theories and models that guide career choices formed foundation for the study. The study used a descriptive design where data was collected through past existing data review from KNEC and one Technical Training Institute over a period of four years. Data was analyzed and presented in tables and figures. Findings revealed that majority of the candidates (86.92%) of the KCPE candidates scored less than C+ and had no career information on Vocational and Technical Education. The study recommends reengineering of the career guidance in Kenya education system to involve the Ministry, professionals and Human Resource Management experts.

Technical and implementation issues in reading literacy interactive games - Mahalingam, G.R.; Samah, N.A.; Rahman, K.A.A.; Ali, D.F.; Abdullah, A.H.; Ashari, Z.M.; Jumaat, N.F.; Harikrishnan, H. (International Journal of Engineering and Advanced Technology, 2019)
The technology-based learning process is able to influence pupils on learning and teaching, especially the use of interactive games can transform the way learning of problematic learners in reading skills. Although interactive games are said to be very effective in learning but there are still many technical and implementation shortcomings on remedial education students which identified as slow learners. This paper focuses on technical and implementation issues which restrict the effective integration of Reading Literacy Interactive Games (RLIG) in learning of reading skill among slow learners. The aim of this study is to investigate the critical issues and develop the effective RLIG in order to fulfill the slow learners’ needs. Therefore, a need-analysis was conducted to investigate the issues of technical and implementation of RLIG among slow learners. The findings revealed that there are many technical and implementation issues that restricted slow learners from adapting RLIG in the process of teaching and learning. The findings of this research can assist educators to improve the development of RLIG by incorporating relevant pedagogical approaches and game-based features in the development process. © 2019, Blue Eyes Intelligence Engineering and Sciences Publication.

Participatory Management as an Enabler of Articulation in the Post-School Environment: A case study of a University of Technology and Technical and Vocational Education and Training College - Maistry, Anandh; Durban University of Technology; Lortan, Darren Brendan; Grobbelaar, Heleen (2019)
This paper is based on a study which aimed to explore factors which enable articulation and are challenges to successful articulation from a management perspective between two kinds of higher educational institutions: Universities of Technology and Technical and Vocational Education and Training Colleges. The study assumed that participatory management could contribute to improving the quality of management and the uneven quality of articulation possibilities and cooperation, as identified in the White Paper for Post School Education and Training (Republic of South Africa, DHET, 2013). Individuals from senior management and academic staff of both institutions formed the sample for this qualitative study. Interview schedules were used as data collection instruments and analysis of data was thematic. The findings highlighted the existing management systems within and between the two institutions; enablers of and challenges to articulation; and an understanding of participatory management within and between the two institutions. One of the objectives of this study, which is covered in the final part of this paper, was a framework for participatory management of articulation processes between the two institutions.

Devising New Models for School Improvement in Developing Nations: Sierra Leone, a case study - Mason, Miriam Theresa (Durham University, 2019)
Abstract Background and Introduction: This research describes the planning, design, implementation and evaluation of a (Continuous Professional Development & Learning) CPDL-based programme for schools in Sierra Leone, a low-income country with low educational standards. Aims: The research aimed to: (i) assess evidence of EducAid schools’ effectiveness; (ii) identify features of EducAid practice that government schools might adopt; (iii) design a CPDL programme for Sierra Leonean teachers; (iv) report the programme’s impact on students’ progress; (v) explore the possibility of programme delivery by local and largely untrained teachers; (vi) throw light on aspects of the programme that participants saw as strengths and weaknesses. Design and Methods: Within an innovative quasi-experimental design, an impact evaluation drew on data from five intervention and ten comparison schools, and a process evaluation drew on data on information from programme participants and the trainers. The impact evaluation was based on public exam results, literacy test scores and attendance data collected pre- and post-CPDL. Process data included information from lesson observations, semi-structured interviews, focus groups and a post-intervention evaluation workshop. Results: The impact evaluation showed larger improvements in student attendance and literacy test results in the intervention schools than in the comparison schools. The process evaluation identified challenges in embedding changes in pedagogic practice, and in data collection. However, it also identified consistent evidence of improvements in student behaviour. These were supported by head teachers and community groups and were seen as a necessary but not sufficient condition for the literacy score improvements. Discussion and Conclusions: Discussion focuses on how far the six aims were met and on how the research adds to understanding of CPDL and school improvement in a low-income country. The impossibility of randomisation in sample selection prevents any strong causal claims for the CPDL’s impact. The possibility of a larger scale roll-out is considered, subject to changes in the programme suggested by the process evaluation.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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