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

Computational thinking in higher education: A review of the literature - Lyon, Joseph A.; J. Magana, Alejandra (Computer Applications in Engineering Education, 2020)
Computational thinking is of growing interest to the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education research community. Calls from national agencies look to increase computation in STEM education. This review identifies key areas for future study by reviewing recent empirical studies that investigate computational thinking in teaching and learning contexts within higher education. Using a systematic process, this review identified four different databases for peer-reviewed research articles using keywords. Results were evaluated against inclusion and exclusion criteria. Studies were analyzed for types of methods, target population, the role of computational thinking, pedagogical designs used, and significant findings of the study. This process resulted in a final set of 13 studies. The results indicate that computational thinking research in higher education is growing, yet there are opportunities for more research. The findings of this study highlight the need for more concrete definitions and implementations of computational thinking within higher education spaces.

Computationally Intensive Methods - Ewens, Warren J.; Grant, Gregory R. (Statistical Methods in Bioinformatics: An Introduction, 2001)
An important trend in statistical inference over the last twenty years has been the introduction of computationally intensive methods. These have been made possible by the availability of convenient and greatly increased computing power, and these methods are useful in bioinformatics and computational biology. Aspects of some computationally intensive methods used for both estimation and hypothesis testing are outlined in this chapter. Computationally intensive methods arise in both classical and Bayesian inference: We concentrate here on computationally intensive methods in classical inference.

Computer assisted learning as extracurricular tutor? Evidence from a randomised experiment in rural boarding schools in Shaanxi - Lai, Fang; Zhang, Linxiu; Hu, Xiao; Qu, Qinghe; Shi, Yaojiang; Qiao, Yajie; Boswell, Matthew; Rozelle, Scott (Journal of Development Effectiveness, 2013)
This paper uses a clustered randomised field experiment to explore the effects of a computer assisted learning (CAL) programme on student academic and non-academic outcomes in poor, rural public schools in China. Our results show that a remedial, game-based CAL programme in math held outside of regular school hours with boarding students in poor rural public schools improved standardised math scores by 0.12 standard deviations. Students from poorer families tended to benefit more from the programme. However, CAL did not have any significant impact on either Chinese language standardised test scores or non-academic outcomes.

Computer literacy among practical arts teachers in swaziland vocational schools - Hlophe, Zanele F.; Mindebele, CBS (Journal of Vocational Education and Training, 2001)
This article reports findings of a study conducted in Swaziland to determine computer literacy skills of teachers of agriculture, commerce, home economics and technical studies in 16 pilot vocational schools. These teachers are expected to teach the new vocationalised curriculum of the four subjects. Findings revealed that the teachers lacked the basic computer knowledge and skills needed in the newly vocationalised curriculum that was to be mounted in the year 2000 with the financial assistance (loan) from the African Development Bank. However, the teachers indicated a strong interest in taking computer technology courses. © 2001 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Computerized Speechreading Training for Deaf Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial - Pimperton, Hannah; Kyle, Fiona; Hulme, Charles; Harris, Margaret; Beedie, Indie; Ralph-Lewis, Amelia; Worster, Elizabeth; Rees, Rachel; Donlan, Chris; MacSweeney, Mairéad (Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019)
Purpose We developed and evaluated in a randomized controlled trial a computerized speechreading training program to determine (a) whether it is possible to train speechreading in deaf children and (b) whether speechreading training results in improvements in phonological and reading skills. Previous studies indicate a relationship between speechreading and reading skill and further suggest this relationship may be mediated by improved phonological representations. This is important since many deaf children find learning to read to be very challenging. Method Sixty-six deaf 5- to 7-year-olds were randomized into speechreading and maths training arms. Each training program was composed of a 10-min sessions a day, 4 days a week for 12 weeks. Children were assessed on a battery of language and literacy measures before training, immediately after training, and 3 months and 11 months after training. Results We found no significant benefits for participants who completed the speechreading training, compared to those who completed the maths training, on the speechreading primary outcome measure. However, significantly greater gains were observed in the speechreading training group on one of the secondary measures of speechreading. There was also some evidence of beneficial effects of the speechreading training on phonological representations; however, these effects were weaker. No benefits were seen to word reading. Conclusions Speechreading skill is trainable in deaf children. However, to support early reading, training may need to be longer or embedded in a broader literacy program. Nevertheless, a training tool that can improve speechreading is likely to be of great interest to professionals working with deaf children. Supplemental Material https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.8856356

Conceptual Modeling: Topics, Themes, and Technology Trends - Storey, Veda C.; Lukyanenko, Roman; Castellanos, Arturo (ACM Computing Surveys, 2023)
Conceptual modeling is an important part of information systems development and use that involves identifying and representing relevant aspects of reality. Although the past decades have experienced continuous digitalization of services and products that impact business and society, conceptual modeling efforts are still required to support new technologies as they emerge. This paper surveys research on conceptual modeling over the past five decades and shows how its topics and trends continue to evolve to accommodate emerging technologies, while remaining grounded in basic constructs. We survey over 5,300 papers that address conceptual modeling topics from the 1970s to the present, which are collected from 35 multidisciplinary journals and conferences, and use them as the basis from which to analyze the progression of conceptual modeling. The important role that conceptual modeling should play in our evolving digital world is discussed, and future research directions proposed.

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

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

Conceptualizations and Measures of Student Engagement: A Worked Example of Systematic Review - Tai, Joanna; Ajjawi, Rola; Bearman, Margaret; Wiseman, Paul (Systematic Reviews in Educational Research: Methodology, Perspectives and Application, 2020)
This chapter provides a commentary on the potential choices, processes, and decisions involved in undertaking a systematic review. It does this through using an illustrative case example, which draws on the application of systematic review principles at each stage as it actually happened. The chapter firstly introduces the topic of ‘student engagement’ and explains why a review was decided appropriate for this topic. The chapter then provides an exploration of the methodological choices and methods we used within the review. Next, the issues of results management and presentation are discussed. Reflections on the process, and key recommendations for undertaking systematic reviews on education topics are made, on the basis of this review, as well as the authors’ prior experiences as researchers and authors of review papers.

Conceptualizing Research–Practice Partnerships as Joint Work at Boundaries - Penuel, William R.; Allen, Anna-Ruth; Coburn, Cynthia E.; Farrell, Caitlin (Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk (JESPAR), 2015)
This paper presents a conceptual framework for analyzing how researchers and district leaders perceive and navigate differences they encounter in the context of research-practice partnerships. Our framework contrasts with images of partnership work as facilitating the translation of research into practice. Instead, we argue that partnership activity is best viewed as a form of joint work requiring mutual engagement across multiple boundaries. Drawing on a cultural-historical account of learning across boundaries (Akkerman & Bakker, 2011) and evidence from a study of two longterm partnerships, we highlight the value of the concepts of boundary practices in organizing joint work and boundary crossing as a way to understand how differences are recognized and navigated. The framework has implications for how partnerships can surface and make productive use of difference in organizing joint work and for how funders can better support the work of research-practice partnerships.

Conducive Attributes of Physical Learning Environment at Preschool Level for Slow Learners - Ahmad, Sabarinah Sh; Shaari, Mariam Felani; Hashim, Rugayah; Kariminia, Shahab (Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2015)
Conducive attributes of physical learning environment of schools play a dominant role in the successful delivery of lessons for slow learners. This study aims to propose a framework towards achieving conducive attributes of preschool learning environment suitable for slow learners through literature review. In summary, the physical conditions including human comfort (visual, thermal, acoustic), spatial planning, quality of furnishing and finishing and safety features are important attributes to consider for conducive learning environment. Findings are useful for designers, service providers and policy makers of special needs preschools when making decisions to provide conducive facilities for the slow learners.

Conducting a systematic review in six weeks – experiences with and evaluation of an intensive team pilot project - Ames, Heather; Kornør, Hege; Evensen, Line Holtet; Lidal, Ingeborg Beate; Hafstad, Elisabet; Hestevik, Christine Hillestad; Jardim, Patricia Sofia Jacobsen; Hval, Gyri (Research Square (Research Square), 2023)
Abstract Background Evidence synthesis organisations worldwide are trying to meet commissioners’ need for rapid responses to their evidence synthesis commissions. In this project we piloted an intensive process, working to complete an evidence synthesis within six-weeks, rather than the standard lead time of 4-6 months. There were three objectives: 1) To develop a plan for and conduct an evidence synthesis in six weeks or less (“intensive pilot”) 2) To register time used for the intensive pilot 3) To evaluate the intensive pilot process and identify barriers, facilitators, learning points, areas for improvement or future implementation ideas. Methods The two project teams divided the pilot into three phases: Pre-planning, planning and intensive. During the pre-planning phase commissions were identified and researchers were recruited. During the planning phase the team interacted with the commissioner, completed the evidence synthesis protocol, and planned how they were going to work together during the intensive phase. During the intensive phase the team implemented their plan and completed the evidence synthesis they were assigned. We held reflective meetings and kept evaluator notes throughout the process. Results The team was able to achieve the project objectives. They developed and implemented a plan for conducting an evidence synthesis in six weeks. They registered their times use. During the pilot process the team reflected on and evaluated the process itself to identify barriers, facilitators, learning points, areas for improvement or future implementation ideas. The involved researchers preferred working in this intensive way. They felt that time use was more effective, and they were more focused. However, there are implications for project leadership and implementation that should be considered before implementing an intensive approach in future evidence synthesis projects. Conclusions The involved researchers preferred working intensively with one evidence synthesis over being involved with many projects at the same time. They felt that time use was more effective, and they were able to complete the tasks in a focused way. However, there are several implications for project management, leadership and further implementation that should be considered before implementing an intensive approach in future evidence syntheses.

Conjecture Mapping: An Approach to Systematic Educational Design Research - Sandoval, William (Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2014)
Design research is strongly associated with the learning sciences community, and in the 2 decades since its conception it has become broadly accepted. Yet within and without the learning sciences there remains confusion about how to do design research, with most scholarship on the approach describing what it is rather than how to do it. This article describes a technique for mapping conjectures through a learning environment design, distinguishing conjectures about how the design should function from theoretical conjectures that explain how that function produces intended outcomes.

Consequences for Adolescents When They Become Pregnant, and Become Mothers - Tull, Kerina (2020)
When an adolescent becomes pregnant, her life can change radically – especially if the pregnancy is unplanned. This rapid review presents information on consequences of adolescent pregnancy and adolescent motherhood in low-income countries, low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), and middle-income countries from Africa, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Treatment and effects on the adolescent in terms of health, education, employment opportunities, as well as after-effects on their family members are noted. This review finds that Evidence on the consequences of girls returning to school after they become pregnant is limited. Available information focuses more on whether pregnant girls go back to school after giving birth, but not so much on whether the conditions are favourable for adolescent mothers to re-enter school and concentrate on their studies.

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

Constructing 21st-Century Teacher Education - Darling-Hammond, Linda (Journal of Teacher Education, 2006)
Much of what teachers need to know to be successful is invisible to lay observers, leading to the view that teaching requires little formal study and to frequent disdain for teacher education programs. The weakness of traditional program models that are collections of largely unrelated courses reinforce this low regard. This article argues that we have learned a great deal about how to create stronger, more effective teacher education programs. Three critical components of such programs include tight coherence and integration among courses and between course work and clinical work in schools, extensive and intensely supervised clinical work integrated with course work using pedagogies that link theory and practice, and closer, proactive relationships with schools that serve diverse learners effectively and develop and model good teaching. The article also urges that schools of education should resist pressures to water down preparation, which ultimately undermine the preparation of entering teachers, the reputation of schools of education, and the strength of the profession.

Design/methodology/approach – Using Zambia as a country case study, results of a survey that was designed to assess the construction industry's perceptions of the quality and availability of construction craft skills in Zambia are presented. The surveyed contractors' support for the introduction of a sector-specific training levy in Zambia was also investigated and is reported. Findings – Findings point to both poor quality and shortage of construction craft skills in Zambia. Results suggest that construction sector-specific training levy would be the most viable, sustainable and industry-wide supported option for supplementing government funding in the training of construction craft skills in Zambia, and probably in the SSA region. Research limitations/implications – The survey was exploratory in nature and depth, and SSA is a vast and diverse region. The results of the case study may not correctly reflect construction skills exigencies across the whole SSA region. Originality/value – The results provide information and advice for both policy makers and contractors concerned with construction crafts skills issues in Zambia, and SSA in general. © 2006, Emerald Group Publishing Limited

Context and Appropriate Technology: The Unavoidable Partnership - Onguko, Brown (Proceedings of the European Conference on e-Government, ECEG, 2012)
Teachers in rural parts of Kenya lack opportunities for professional development (PD). In addition, the teachers have no access to eLearning opportunities like their colleagues in urban parts. Among the factors that do not favor Kenyan rural teachers’ access to PD through eLearning include: lack of access to relevant technologies and lack of electricity. This paper shares research findings on provision of teachers’ PD through a blended learning approach, utilizing appropriate technologies in a rural school in western Kenya. Ten teachers and two Professional Development Teachers (PDTs) participated in this research. In the study, teachers’ needs assessment was done, to inform the instructional design on the topic: How to teach a large class of mixed ability students. The PD was implemented by engaging teachers in a variety of activities including: pairs of teachers collaboratively using a tablet to access self-study content; teachers studying through multimedia content; teachers planning and delivering lessons using activity-based learning and cooperative learning approaches; and PDTs and teachers participating in fortnightly face-to-face meetings. The findings of the study suggest that teaching practices of rural educators can be improved working with local experts to create locally-relevant content for needs-based PD, implemented in a blended learning approach while providing technology stewardship. Teachers accessed and studied through offline content; planned for and implemented cooperative learning and activity-based learning in lessons, using locally available materials; engaged in reflective conversations on successes and challenges; and spontaneously engaged in very lively professional dialogues. While teachers appreciated that it took long to prepare for active learning lessons, it was less strenuous to implement the lessons, because the students took responsibility for their own learning.

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

Continental Education Strategy for Africa 2016-2025 - African Union (2015)
First and foremost, CESA 16-25 is a continental strategy that matches the 2016-2025 framework of the African Union 2063 Agenda, meets the Common African Position (CAP) on the Post-2015 Development Agenda and draws lessons from previous continental plans and strategies with regard to the role and place of the AUC (AU) which, unlike member states, has no territory for the implementation of strategies in the field. Furthermore, it capitalizes on numerous and active players ready to mobilize financial, human and technical resources within national, regional and continental coalitions for education, science and technology. Thus, CESA 16-25 seeks to provide each education stakeholder the opportunity to make his or her best contribution to education and training in Africa.

Continuous Teacher Learning Circles in Learner-Centered Pedagogy: A Case Study in the Democratic Republic of the Congo - Lund, Jennifer Anne (2020)
This dissertation explores how continuous teacher learning circles (TLCs) support the implementation of a learner-centered pedagogy in grades 5-10 at a school in a long-term refugee community located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Learner-centered pedagogy has gained notice as a means to improve educational outcomes in sub-Saharan Africa (Vavrus & Bartlett, 2012). Learner-centered pedagogy may be defined as education rooted in the interests of students, their prior knowledge, and pedagogy based on student inquiry with the goal of solving real-world problems (Dewey, 1916). TLCs are increasingly used by international educational development organizations, including in the DRC (Frisoli, 2014; Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies, 2015). Focusing on sustained teacher and student learning, one U.S. non-profit has worked since 2011 to co-create learner-centered modules based on locally identified assets and problems. This qualitative case study seeks to illuminate how teacher learning and well-being are supported through the TLCs and what teachers and staff understand about learner-centered pedagogy as a teaching and learning paradigm in the context. Drawing from Kanu's (2005) precept that pedagogical ideas crossing borders are continually reinterpreted and reinvented, this study takes a closer look at how indigenous practices may influence or mediate teacher learning. By using Lave and Wenger’s (1991) concept of communities of practice as the principal theoretical framework, the study relied on data from onsite individual interviews, focus groups, classroom observations, and TLC observations as well as archival documents such as lesson plans, teacher reflections, and transcripts of cross-cultural Skype conversations between Congolese and American staff. Findings suggest that the TLCs viii help teachers gain confidence in learner-centered teaching tools that support safe, inclusive, and engaging classrooms while offering a supportive space to voice problems and receive feedback from peers as they engage in planning and implementing the innovative curriculum. Findings also highlight the need for increased teacher autonomy in lesson planning. Implications of these findings encourage future research to determine whether it is feasible for learner-centered pedagogy and TLCs to be operationalized and sustained over time in other similar settings.

Contract Type and Teacher Absenteeism in Benin: The Role of Teacher’s Supplemental Income - Senou, Barthelemy Mahugnon (2021)
Absenteeism is a phenomenon that has been noted in professional circles with consequences on the income of the wage earner as well as the profits of the firm, consequences that led, according to statistics from 2005, to losses in public finance amounting to close to 70 billion francs for the Government of Benin. Despite such losses, very few studies in economics have focused on the subject in order to try and give an understanding of the real causes of absenteeism and its consequences. The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between the status of the teacher, supplemental income of the teacher, and the absenteeism of the teacher. Using data from PASEC-CONFEMEN 2005, that will be applied to a theoretical model that we are developing, and through the use of a Tobit empirical method, after having taken the endogeneity bias on the practice of supplemental income generating activities by the teacher into account, this study demonstrates that the practice of income generating activities by teachers positively influences their absenteeism, with contract teachers being more frequently absent than those who are on permanent and pensionable employment contracts. Through linking the level of prices in a locality with absenteeism behaviours, we make it clear that the reasons for absenteeism are mostly related to low purchasing power in the context of earning relatively meagre salaries. These results elicit a set of recommendations that essentially suggest that there should be an improvement in the salaries and working conditions of teachers.

Contradictions in Learner Interactions in a Blended-Learning Writing Course in the ODL Context: An Activity Theory Analysis - Pullenayegem, Judy; Silva, K. Radhika M. De; Buddhini, Gayathri Jayatilleke (Journal of Learning for Development, 2021)
This paper reports on the use of Engeström’s (1987) Activity Theory (AT) framework to gain insights into the contradictions that emerge within the activity system of the online component of an advanced writing skills course, delivered in a blended-learning mode using the Process Approach. Activity theory, with its principle of contradictions, has been used successfully to identify tensions that arise in interactions between and among participates in online environments. The focus of this mixed-method study was to identify challenges participants experienced due to externally imposed conditions when engaging in the online activities. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and the online log reports from the Learning Management System (LMS). Contradictions emerged between and among the elements of two activity triangles within the activity system of the online writing course. Implications of these contradictions were noted to take steps to improve the design of the online component of the writing course.

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.

Correlation of ambient air temperature and cognitive performance: A systematic review and meta-analysis - Yeganeh, Armin Jeddi; Reichard, Georg; McCoy, Andrew P.; Bulbul, Tanyel; Jazizadeh, Farrokh (Building and Environment, 2018)
Despite their impact on work performance, cognitive responses to thermal variations in buildings have not been accurately quantified. Practical limitations in individual laboratory experiments with limited participants often cause low statistical power and restrict generalizability. Thus, inconsistencies in individual studies motivate summary reviews and meta-analyses. The objective of this study is to estimate the correlation between ambient air temperature and cognitive performance through a systematic literature review. We identified laboratory experiment reports published between 1980 and 2018, out of which 45 passed the targeted inclusion and exclusion criteria set forward by the scope of this study. To obtain summary effect statistics, 28 reports were included in a single analysis conducted by the use of the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software. Under laboratory conditions with fixed clothing values, studies with the weighted mean of 4.34 °C, 10.04 °C, and 26.68 °C increase in the control air temperature show about % 0.40, % 5.37, and % 7.97 reductions in cognitive performance, respectively. Heat stress causes the most significant decline in the most attention-demanding tasks. The results show an overall decline in both speed and accuracy measures due to changes in ambient air temperature. Accuracy measures and longer exposures are associated with relatively more decline in heat and cold. The estimated temperature-performance correlation follows a bell-shaped curve centered around the average control temperature. The results help inform policy and design decisions concerned with thermal comfort and upper limits for occupational exposure to cold and heat.

Cost Measurement Guidance Note for Donor-Funded Education Programming. - Walls, Elena; Tulloch, Caitlin; Holla, Alaka (United States Agency for International Development, prepared for Building Evidence in Education (BE2), 2020)
The guidance note’s fundamental objective is to facilitate the adoption of robust cost measurement practices and for the results to improve the effectiveness of global investments in education development among funders and national governments. The closing section of the note presents recommended steps for instituting cost measurement practices in an international donor agency. Harmonizing cost measurement across the entire global sector will increase its value by allowing for comparisons of cost-efficiency and cost-effectiveness of interventions funded by different donors. Similar to international standards for evaluation studies, adopting clear standards for cost studies would allow us to build and use the knowledge base and ultimately improve the efficiency and effectiveness of international investments in education.

Costing the implementation of public health interventions in resource-limited settings: a conceptual framework - Sohn, Hojoon; Tucker, Austin; Ferguson, Olivia; Gomes, Isabella; Dowdy, David (Implementation Science, 2020)
Background: Failing to account for the resources required to successfully implement public health interventions can lead to an underestimation of costs and budget impact, optimistic cost-effectiveness estimates, and ultimately a disconnect between published evidence and public health decision-making. Methods: We developed a conceptual framework for assessing implementation costs. We illustrate the use of this framework with case studies involving interventions for tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS in resource-limited settings. Results: Costs of implementing public health interventions may be conceptualized as occurring across three phases: design, initiation, and maintenance. In the design phase, activities include developing intervention components and establishing necessary infrastructure (e.g., technology, standard operating procedures). Initiation phase activities include training, initiation of supply chains and quality assurance procedures, and installation of equipment. Implementation costs in the maintenance phase include ongoing technical support, monitoring and evaluation, and troubleshooting unexpected obstacles. Within each phase, implementation costs can be incurred at the site of delivery (“site-specific” costs) or more centrally (“above-service” or “central” costs). For interventions evaluated in the context of research studies, implementation costs should be classified as programmatic, researchrelated, or shared research/program costs. Purely research-related costs are often excluded from analysis of programmatic implementation. Conclusions: In evaluating public health interventions in resource-limited settings, accounting for implementation costs enables more realistic estimates of budget impact and cost-effectiveness and provides important insights into program feasibility, scale-up, and sustainability. Assessment of implementation costs should be planned prospectively and performed in a standardized manner to ensure generalizability.

COVID-19: An Accelerated Learning Challenge for Developing & Developed Countries Alike - Bella, Professor Hassan (Sudan Journal of Medical Sciences (SJMS), 2020)
Covid-19 is the fastest evolving and most horrific pandemic in the recent global history. It is perhaps the greatest and most daunting challenge humanity has faced since World War II and could bring on so many sequelae and a ‘recession with no parallel in the recent past’ [1]. The editors of the Sudan Journal of Medical Sciences have commissioned this timely issue of the journal to assess the implications of this unprecedented event on Sudan’s healthcare sector. Researching the literature for the purpose of this editorial, using Google Scholar and other authentic search engines, produced a seemingly infinite number of titles. Never in my career as medical teacher and researcher I have encountered such a vast volume of literature produced on one subject in such a very short time.

COVID-19 and digital disruption in UK universities: afflictions and affordances of emergency online migration - Watermeyer, Richard; Crick, Tom; Knight, Cathryn; Goodall, Janet (Higher Education, 2020)
COVID-19 has caused the closure of university campuses around the world and migration of all learning, teaching, and assessment into online domains. The impacts of this on the academic community as frontline providers of higher education are profound. In this article, we report the findings from a survey of n = 1148 academics working in universities in the United Kingdom (UK) and representing all the major disciplines and career hierarchy. Respondents report an abundance of what we call ‘afflictions’ exacted upon their role as educators and in far fewer yet no less visible ways ‘affordances’ derived from their rapid transition to online provision and early ‘entry-level’ use of digital pedagogies. Overall, they suggest that online migration is engendering significant dysfunctionality and disturbance to their pedagogical roles and their personal lives. They also signpost online migration as a major challenge for student recruitment, market sustainability, an academic labour-market, and local economies.

COVID-19 and education: restructuring after the pandemic - Bellini, Maria Irene; Pengel, Liset; Potena, Luciano; Segantini, Luca; Group, ESOT COVID-19 Working (Transplant International, 2021)
COVID-19 challenges to keep a valuable educational offer with lockdown measures and social distancing are reviewed. Scientific Societies had to think of new alternatives to maintain meetings with conversion to a virtual format and development of online resources, rapidly available and broadly accessible. Other in person activities as face-to-face clinics have been substituted by telemedicine; the same happened with surgical training in theatre, given the suspension of most of the operations. Finally, the need to share and communicate in a continuous evolving scenario, has impacted negatively the integrity of peer review process, not following the normal procedures to ensure scientific integrity and reproducibility in the earliest phases of the pandemic.

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

COVID-19 and teacher education: a literature review of online teaching and learning practices - Carrillo, Carmen; Flores, Maria Assunção (European Journal of Teacher Education, 2020)
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted education at all levels in various ways. Institutions and teacher educators had to quickly respond to an unexpected and ‘forced’ transition from face-to-face to remote teaching. They also had to create learning environments for student teachers doing their preparation in the light of the requirements of teacher education programmes and the conditions in which both universities and schools had to operate. This paper provides a review of the literature on online teaching and learning practices in teacher education. In total, 134 empirical studies were analysed. Online teaching and learning practices related to social, cognitive and teaching presence were identified. The findings highlighted the need for a comprehensive view of the pedagogy of online education that integrates technology to support teaching and learning. The implications of this study for the development of online teaching and learning practices are discussed. Suggestions for further research are also examined.

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

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.

COVID-19 and the Digital Transformation of Education: What We Are Learning in South Africa - Mhlanga, David; Moloi, Tankiso (2020)
The study sought to gauge the impact of COVID-19 pandemic in unleashing digital transformation in the education sector in South Africa. In order to gauge the impact, the study tracked the rate at which the 4IR tools were used by various institutions during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Covid-19 Practice in Primary Schools in Ireland Report: A Two-month Follow-up - Dempsey, Majella; Burke, Jolanta (2020)
This research report looks at leadership and wellbeing in Primary Schools two months after the COVID-19 school closures, in total 939 leaders completed the survey. It follows a previous report on practice in Primary Schools two weeks after school closures (Burke and Dempsey, 2020). It reports on the changes in communication, concerns and wellbeing from week two to month two after the COVID-19 school closure; the wellbeing of school leaders in the middle of the COVID-19 school closure; and, investigates the intricacies in wellbeing between teaching and administrative principals, given that their daily duties differ significantly. Quantitative data was analysed using SPSS, and qualitative data was analysed using MAXQDA. It found that principals are adapting to the impact of the pandemic, both professionally and personally, however there have been significant challenges noted. It was noted that social wellbeing is the biggest challenge for principals, however seven out of 10 principals have taken specific actions to address this challenge during the lockdown. Lack of time was an issue for those principals who have not taken positive action regarding their wellbeing, with some fulfilling multiple professional and personal roles. While there have been challenges associated with the adaptation and implementation of new online practices, and some schools lack technology, there has been a positive move to online learning.

COVID-19 Preprints and Their Publishing Rate: An Improved Method - Lachapelle, Francois (2020)
Context As the COVID-19 pandemic persists around the world, the scientific community continues to produce and circulate knowledge on the deadly disease at an unprecedented rate. During the early stage of the pandemic, preprints represented nearly 40% of all English-language COVID-19 scientific corpus (6, 000+ preprints | 16, 000+ articles). As of mid-August 2020, that proportion dropped to around 28% (13, 000+ preprints | 49, 000+ articles). Nevertheless, preprint servers remain a key engine in the efficient dissemination of scientific work on this infectious disease. But, giving the ‘uncertified’ nature of the scientific manuscripts curated on preprint repositories, their integration to the global ecosystem of scientific communication is not without creating serious tensions. This is especially the case for biomedical knowledge since the dissemination of bad science can have widespread societal consequences. Scope In this paper, I propose a robust method that allows the repeated monitoring and measuring of COVID-19 preprints’ publication rate. I also introduce a new API called Upload-or-Publish. It is a free micro-API service that enables a client to query a specific preprint manuscript’s publication status and associated meta-data using a unique ID. The beta-version is currently working and deployed. Data I use Covid-19 Open Research Dataset (CORD-19) to calculate COVID-19 preprint corpus’ conversion rate to peer-reviewed articles. CORD-19 dataset includes 10,454 preprints from arXiv, bioRxiv, and medRxiv. Methods I utilize conditional fuzzy logic to link preprints with their published counterparts. My approach is an important departure from previous studies that rely exclusively on bio/medRxiv API to ascertain preprints’ publication status. This is problematic since the level of false negatives in bio/medRxiv non-COVID-19 metadata could be as high as 37%. My analysis suggests bio/medRxiv API accurately captures about only 50% of its published preprints. My improved method clocked an F1-score of 0.96. Findings My analysis reveals that 19.6% (n=2048) of COVID-19 preprint manuscripts in the CORD-19 dataset uploaded on arXiv, bioRxiv, and medRxiv between January and early September 2020 were published in peer-reviewed venues. When compared to the most recent measure available, this represents a two-fold increase in a period of two months. My discussion review and theorize on the potential explanations for COVID-19 preprints’ overall low conversion rate.

COVID-19’s Effect on Students: How School Counselors Rise to the Rescue - Pincus, Robert; Hannor-Walker, TeShaunda; Wright, Leonis S; Justice, Judith (NASSP Bulletin, 2020)
The COVID-19 global pandemic has brought about many changes to our society, which will have long-term effects for our youth and adolescents. Due to social isolation and adverse childhood experiences, there are concerns of suicidality, technology addiction, and school safety as schools attempt to transition to a state of normalcy in the months to come. This crisis will require coordinated efforts to assist students in not only getting back on track academically but also in helping students cope with the trauma they have and are continuing to experience. As a result, insights from school counselors can be used to obtain a better understanding of the social and emotional effects of COVID-19 by collaborating with administrators to emphasize using school counselors as a mental health provider in schools. The authors highlight school counselors’ mental health training and their role in combating this issue and provide practical applications that can employed to create a systemic approach for social and emotional prevention and intervention during and after the pandemic.

COVID-19's spring 2020 school closures: The effect on teacher candidates - DeFeo, Dayna; Tran, Trang (Institute of Social and Economic Research, 2020)
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Governor Dunleavy mandated that Alaska’s K12 schools closed to in-person instruction; later, these school closures were extended until the end of the 2019-2020 academic year. Across the state, educators worked not only to ensure they met their responsibilities for instruction, but also other key school functions including parent resources, meal services, and social-emotional learning. Concurrently, senior college students in teacher licensure programs at the University of Alaska (UA) were in classrooms fulfilling their clinical experience (student teaching) requirements. During the school closures, students were still “placed” in schools, but the nature of their internship experience changed fundamentally as classes were moved to distance delivery. On March 20, Alaska’s Education Commissioner Michael Johnson announced that the state of Alaska would grant emergency certification to teachers who were unable to complete the required number of clinical placement hours due to COVID-19 school closures. Many of these new graduates will qualify for licensure, but how will the pandemic affect them as they become teachers? In this paper, we explore how teacher candidates perceive their readiness for teaching in the fall, and their career intentions. By comparing survey responses collected from spring 2020 graduates against graduates of spring 2019 (the students who had a “typical” student teaching experience), we find that the 2020 graduating class feels ready for the classroom. However, these new teachers – and those hired from teacher education programs (TEPs) outside of Alaska – will need supports as they transition to teaching.

Covid-19 School Closures in Low- and Middle-income Countries: Emergent Perspectives on the Role of Educational Technology - Jordan, Katy (Journal of Learning for Development, 2020)
The Covid-19 pandemic ushered in school closures at an unprecedented scale and prompted educational systems to find alternative teaching models at short notice. The role for educational technology in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) has recently become the focus of much discussion. While prompted by the pandemic, the discussions surface latent issues in educational systems, and the perspectives and ambitions of organisations in relation to educational technology and LMICs. The influence of the discussions during this period is likely to extend beyond the initial crisis, and warrants investigation. This paper presents a thematic analysis, using a grounded theory approach, of documents published online between February and April 2020. Five themes emerge, in relation to access, responses, support from carers, teachers and communities, educational quality and the future.

Creating learning without limits - Swann (Open University Press, 2012)
"'Creating Learning without Limits' takes on one of the most important issues in education today. In the last decade schools in England have taken a path towards putting all children into boxes, attaching a level to their heads and deciding what they are capable of achieving. This book shows the possibility of a different educational path, one in which all students are encouraged to achieve the greatest they can. Importantly the book also documents ways in which courageous teachers can do this - promoting fair and engaging learning environments for all students. This is a must-read for educators, policy makers and parents alike."Jo Boaler, Professor of Mathematics Education, Stanford University, California. Formerly a teacher and researcher at the Universities of London and Sussex."This will undoubtedly turn out to be amongst the most important educational books of the decade. Our capacity to respond, both individually and collectively, to its key insights and messages will profoundly affect not just the quality of our schools, but of our society for years to come. Engagingly and eloquently written, it exposes the intellectual bankruptcy and human destructiveness of widely held concepts of 'ability' and offers a richly textured, practical account of how one school moved from 'failure' to OfSTED 'outstanding' by committing itself to the practicability of a morally inspiring, educationally convincing alternative.If you want to know why 'the standards agenda' must inevitably fail and what we might do instead, read this book."Professor Michael Fielding, Institute of Education, University of London, UK"This is an inspiring and reviving book. It reminds us why people come into education - to make a difference for children. To make a deep difference we have to organize education differently. It describes a school that vibrates with learning in an atmosphere of deep humanity and care. Its practices are light years away from the measuring, labelling, targeting, and testing structures that have become our recent national norm. The school as a whole community transforms people."Anne Watson, Professor of Mathematics Education, University of Oxford, UK"This book provides a grounded demonstration of the importance of educational principles, the most important of which is the understanding that each child's potential for learning is limitless. The authors describe new school and classroom practices through which learning can be transformed. Their argument has influenced government thinking on the review of the National Curriculum in England. I urge you to let it influence your thinking too!"Professor Andrew Pollard, Institute of Education, University of London, UK"This is a brilliant study of a small and very successful primary school in Hertfordshire where the teachers have rejected ideas of fixed innate ability and believe instead in the limitless potential of all young people. At a time when the Ofsted inspection process employs dubious and limited notions of 'standards' and 'achievement', it would be good to think that there could be many more schools like this one showing the way towards a new and liberating view of human development. The book deserves a really wide readership."Professor Clyde Chitty, Institute of Education, University of London, UK"This book is slim in size but hefty in significance. It tells the story of a school driven by ambition, hope and the self-confidence that comes from a profound faith in the capacity of every child to be a passionate and engaged learner. This in the face of powerful and societally dominant messages that explicitly or more insidiously tell a different and more deterministic tale: that children (and schools) are fit and proper subjects for classification, measurement and management. And there's more - the careful scholarship on which this story is based prevents this book from being merely a description of what happens when a unique constellation of propitious circumstances meets a charismatic leader: this 'other way' is open to all who will take it - but it will demand the laying of solid and value-rich foundations, the exercising of autonomy for staff and pupils, the rethinking of relationships, a focus on learning (letting performance come as a secondary gift), and the taking of collective action. It's become a cliché to say of a book that it 'Should be read by every teacher (or parent, or whoever ...).' This one, and its predecessor 'Learning without Limits' merits that injunction." Barry Hymer, Professor of Psychology in Education, Education Faculty, University of Cumbria, UK"'Creating Learning without Limits' provides a welcome tonic that can help to offset the beleaguering effects of a performativity and standards agenda that reinforces the ability based practices so pervasive in schools today. Building on the compelling pedagogy first presented in 'Learning without Limits', this inspiring book shows how an alternative school improvement agenda can produce high academic attainment and enhanced capacity to learn for everybody. A classic for our time, it should be read by all who seek approaches to teaching and learning that are free from externally imposed views of ability and potential.”Professor Lani Florian, School of Education, University of Aberdeen, UK"If you share the convictions of the authors: 'That human potential is not predictable, that children's futures are unknowable, and that education has the power to enhance the lives of all', read the book! You will however need to proceed with caution; it will make some ofyou reflect on what you do and why you are doing it. This book could be the catalyst for the educational change that we are all praying for."Julie Lilly, Head Teacher, UKThis book tells the story of how one primary school community worked to build a learning environment that is inclusive, humane and enabling for everybody, a place free from the damaging effects of fixed ability thinking and practices. Drawing on compelling accounts of everyday life in the school, it describes how, in just a few years, the school (once in special measures) grew into a thriving community, with distinctive views of learning, curriculum and pedagogy, monitoring and accountability that found expression in every aspect of school life. The work of the school community was guided by the findings of a previous project, 'Learning without Limits' (Hart, Dixon, Drummond and McIntyre 2004), an empirical study of the classroom practice of individual teachers who had rejected the concept of fixed ability. 'Creating Learning without Limits' explores what becomes possible when the same ideas and principles are used creatively to guide and inspire whole school improvement. This book is not simply a celebration of the success of the school; it engages with the struggles and difficulties encountered by the staff as they set about learning to reshape pedagogy and curriculum by reference to their shared values of inclusion, social justice and human educability. It gives a detailed analysis of how the headteacher harnessed the power of collective action. The insights generated by this study have enduring relevance and applicability to people in other contexts - for staff groups craving for more equitable school improvement; for individual teachers wondering how best to foster children's learning capacity; for school leaders and teacher educators who find their values increasingly compromised.

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.

Creation of bibliometric tools for evaluation based on data from Google Scholar - Martín-Martín, Alberto (2019)
(This is a thesis by compilation of studies. Article co-authors are listed at the beginning of each article) Google Scholar (GS) is a freely-accessible academic search engine that indexes academic literature from a wide range of disciplines, document types, and languages. Unlike Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus, which have a selective approach to document indexing (they only index documents published in certain venues), GS follows an inclusive approach. Apart from being the most frequently used tool by researchers to find scholarly information, what made GS stand out was that it builds its own citation graph by processing the references at the end of each document and matching them to documents already identified in their index. These citation counts are now widely consulted by researchers, because up to the point when GS was launched (2004), the main citation index (WoS) was only accessible via subscription. In subsequent years, GS launched several services based on data from its document base: Google Scholar Citations (an author profile service), Google Scholar Metrics (a journal ranking service), and GSCP (a short-lived service that listed highly-cited documents). Despite its opacity (not much information on the coverage is available officially) and lack of native data exporting capabilities, many studies have tried to analyse the main characteristics of GS, and compare it to WoS and Scopus. These studies show that GS has a much more comprehensive coverage, especially in Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (AHSS), although GS also presents errors and limitations that other citation indexes do not have. The general goal of this thesis was to explore whether it is feasible and sustainable to re-use data available in GS to generate data products or tools of a bibliometric nature that provide functionalities that GS does not provide. In order to do this, we followed two approaches that have ran side by side. In our first approach, we endeavored to carry out studies that analysed the general characteristics of Google Scholar as a source of data: its strengths and weaknesses related to size, coverage, errors, bibliometric indicators. In order to do this, we analysed the characteristics of various of samples of GS data (the largest samples of GS data analysed to date), in some cases benchmarking it against the data available in WoS or Scopus. The studies that resulted from this first approach show that GS has an extensive coverage of academic documents. Its coverage includes most of the documents covered in the multidisciplinary citation databases WoS and Scopus, as well as theses, dissertations, books, conference papers, and other unpublished materials (preprints, reports). Spearman correlation coefficients of citation counts between GS and WoS, or between GS and Scopus are generally very high. Thus, if GS is used for research evaluations then its data would be unlikely to produce large changes in the results, despite the additional citations found. It is also shown that, despite the limitations to control which documents are returned for a query, it is possible to identify in GS the most highly-cited documents in a given discipline, given how GS generally presents documents with high citation counts first. Even when considering only highly-cited documents, GS appears to have a more extensive coverage than GS or Scopus, especially in the areas of AHSS. In our second approach, we tested the knowledge obtained in the previous studies in practical real-life situations. These projects took the form of tailored web applications built for a variety of purposes, and open to everyone. The applications display data extracted from Google Scholar (and sometimes also other services) in ways that the native GS, GSC and GSM interfaces do not, thus expanding the range of ways in which users can interact with this information. Three different types of prototype applications were developed and are presented here. The first application presents journal-level bibliometric indicators for a large collection of journals in the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (AHSS): Journal Scholar Metrics (http://www.journal-scholar-metrics.infoec3.es). The second application presents data from a specific academic community at various levels of aggregation (author-, document-, journal-, and publisher-level), combining data not only from GS but from other sources: Scholar Mirrors (http://www.scholar-mirrors.infoec3.es). In the third application, a large sample of data from GS is used to analyse Open Access levels by country, subject category, journal, and publication year. Lastly, we describe the work carried out so far for a fourth, more ambitious application capable of displaying information about all researchers working in Spain with a public GS profile. For the second approach, a new methodology was developed which allowed us to combine information from several scholarly sources: the MADAP method (Multifaceted Analysis of Disciplines through Academic Profiles). The data extracted using this method allowed us to compare a large number of author-level bibliometric indicators from various sources. Author-level indicators in GS (all based on citations) correlated well with other production and citation-based indicators from ResearchGate and ResearcherID, and also with Mendeley’s “Reader” indicator. On the other hand, GS indicators did not correlate well with conectivity-based metrics (followers). The results of this thesis consistently find that GS data, and especially its citation data, can be useful for bibliometric analyses. Nevertheless, throughout all the analyses that have been performed, it has also become clear that there are important limitations that have to be considered when deciding whether to use data from GS for these purposes. Many of these limitations arise from the desire to use this tool for a purpose that falls outside the original scope intended by its creators. errors derived from completely automated processing of documents from a great variety of sources and in a great variety of formats.

Critical Hours and Important Environments: Relationships between Afterschool Physical Activity and the Physical Environment Using GPS, GIS and Accelerometers in 10–12-Year-Old Children - Remmers, Teun; Thijs, Carel; Ettema, Dick; de Vries, Sanne; Slingerland, Menno; Kremers, Stef (International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2019)
Introduction: The objective of this study was to assess relationships between children’s physical environment and afterschool leisure time physical activity (PA) and active transport. Methods: Children aged 10–12 years participated in a 7-day accelerometer and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) protocol. Afterschool leisure time PA and active transport were identified based on location- and speed-algorithms based on accelerometer, GPS and Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) data. We operationalized children’s exposure to the environment by combining home, school and the daily transport environment in individualized daily activity-spaces. Results: In total, 255 children from 20 Dutch primary schools from suburban areas provided valid data. This study showed that greenspaces and smaller distances from the children’s home to school were associated with afterschool leisure time PA and walking. Greater distances between home and school, as well as pedestrian infrastructure were associated with increased cycling. Conclusion: We demonstrated associations between environments and afterschool PA within several behavioral contexts. Future studies are encouraged to target specific behavioral domains and to develop natural experiments based on interactions between several types of the environment, child characteristics and potential socio-cognitive processes.

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

Critical mobile pedagogy: cases of digital technologies and learners at the margins - Traxler, John; Crompton, Helen (2021)
Critical Mobile Pedagogy is an exploration of mobile technologies for designing and delivering equitable and empowering education around the globe. Synthesizing a diverse range of projects and conceptual frameworks, this case-based collection addresses the ambitions, assumptions, and impacts of interventions in under-researched, often disadvantaged communities. The editors and authors provide a nuanced and culturally responsive approach to showcasing: indigenous, nomadic, refugee, rural, and other marginalized communities emerging pedagogies such as curation, open resources, massive open online courses (MOOCs), and self-directed learning contextual factors, including pedagogy, ethics, scaling, research methodology and culture, and consequences of innocuous or harmful implementation and deployment the nature of participation by global capital, multinationals, education systems, international agencies, national governments, and telecoms companies. Scholars, academics, policymakers, and program managers are increasingly using mobile technologies to support disadvantaged or disempowered communities in learning more effectively and appropriately. This book's diverse research precedents will help these and other stakeholders meet the challenges and opportunities of our complex, increasingly connected world and work with greater cultural and ethical sensitivity at the intersection of education, research, and technology.

Cross-Border Higher Education and Quality Assurance. Results from a Systematic Literature Review - Carvalho, Nathan; Rosa, Maria J.; Amaral, Alberto (Journal of Studies in International Education, 2022)
Internationalisation has gained prominence in debates on higher education and can be analysed from different perspectives, including cross-border higher education. Cross-border higher education entails relevant challenges, namely regarding its quality. This paper intends to discuss, based on a literature review, the link between cross-border higher education and quality assurance, namely the role quality assurance may have in contributing to a quality cross-border educational offer. 79 documents (indexed in Scopus or Web of Science) published between 1998 and 2019 were content analysed. The results show that both internal and external quality assurance are relevant topics when discussing cross-border higher education and a means to stimulate the overall quality of this educational offer. Moreover, to be effective, quality assurance must rely on cooperation and mutual trust between importing and exporting countries, including their quality assurance agencies.

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

The criticisms of TVET in the past, and attitudes toward it, coupled with a period of neglect by governments and donors have all resulted in insufficient understanding of the positive effects TVET can have on the youth and on economic development compared to other regions of the world that have had clearly developed agenda for youth skills development through further colleges, community colleges, or apprenticeships.

CS Unplugged—How Is It Used, and Does It Work? - Bell, Tim; Vahrenhold, Jan (Progress in Pattern Recognition, Image Analysis, Computer Vision, and Applications, 2018)
Computer Science Unplugged has been used for many years as a way to communicate concepts from computer science to audiences in a variety of settings. Despite its widespread use, there is relatively little systematic evaluation of its eﬀectiveness. In this paper we review what (Computer Science) Unplugged means, and the many contexts in which it has been used, as it started as an outreach tool, and then found its way into other contexts such as teacher training, and more recently into the classroom to support a formal curriculum. Formal evaluations of using Computer Science Unplugged as an approach to teaching the subject of computer science are reviewed, and we also reﬂect on the complex considerations that lie behind the development of activities and puzzles that are simple enough for school students to use.

Cultivating a personal learning network that leads to professional change - Stewart, Benjamin L. (Northcentral University, 2015)
Teacher professional development opportunities in Mexico are currently lacking. The traditional approaches of professional development such as workshops and conferences are commonplace but do little to bridge the gap between abstract concepts about teaching and learning and the practicalities teachers face in the classroom. The purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to describe how ideas, materials, and social interactions form a PLN through online, informal pedagogical dialogues among English language educators as it relates to professional learning. The five participants of this study were selected from a total of 10 based on their willingness to complete an informed consent form, complete an initial online survey, interact with other professionals publically online, and participate in a final interview. The online survey contained demographic information about each case and included both open and closed items; a content analysis was done on public interactions that tool place online; and a final in-depth interview used open questions to inquire about how respective PLNs changed over time. All data was coded, categorized, and placed into themes based on the ideational, material, and social aspects of each PLN. The findings show that professional knowledge, skills sets, and overall dispositions emerge in unique ways based on how ideas, technologies, and personal contacts interrelate with each other over time, and that an individual’s PLN provides unanticipated benefits when sharing publicly online.

Curiosity and Interactive Learning in Artificial Systems - Haber, Nick (AI in Learning: Designing the Future, 2023)
As “scientists in the crib,” children learn through curiosity, tirelessly seeking novelty and information as they interact—really, play—with both physical objects and the people around them. This flexible capacity to learn about the world through intrinsically motivated interaction continues throughout life. How would we engineer an artificial, autonomous agent that learns in this way – one that flexibly interacts with its environment, and others within it, in order to learn as humans do? In this chapter, I will first motivate this question by describing important advances in artificial intelligence in the last decade, noting ways in which artificial learning within these methods are and are not like human learning. I will then give an overview of recent results in artificial intelligence aimed at replicating curiosity-driven interactive learning. I will then close by speculating on how AI that learns in this fashion could be used as fine-grained computational models of human learning.

Current practices in meta‐regression in psychology, education, and medicine - Tipton, Elizabeth; Pustejovsky, James E.; Ahmadi, Hedyeh (Research Synthesis Methods, 2019)
Having surveyed the history and methods of meta‐regression in a previous paper, in this paper, we review which and how meta‐regression methods are applied in recent research syntheses. To do so, we reviewed studies published in 2016 across four leading research synthesis journals: Psychological Bulletin , the Journal of Applied Psychology , Review of Educational Research , and the Cochrane Library . We find that the best practices defined in the previous review are rarely carried out in practice. In light of the identified discrepancies, we consider how to move forward, first by identifying areas where further methods development is needed to address persistent problems in the field and second by discussing how to more effectively disseminate points of methodological consensus.

Curricula, examinations, and assessment in secondary education in sub-saharan Africa - Bregman, Jacob; Verspoor, Adriaan; Klosowska, Kasha (The World Bank, 2008)
Curriculum reforms first and foremost should focus on improving the current teaching and learning processes. As a systemic challenge, these changes need to include re-orientation from secondary education as pre-academic tertiary education to a wider range of options, including vocational education and the world of work. Curriculum reforms in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) require comprehensive approaches directed at the complexity of the educational system at large. It requires the acknowledgement of past obstacles and current challenges to reform, as well as the challenges additionally created by the reforms. Human and physical resources, perceptions, experiences with past reforms and current school and classroom practices determine the limits of what educational systems can absorb in terms of development. Many high political ambitions have implications that are beyond current context and conditions. It therefore makes sense to have realistic ambitions and scope of curriculum reform, because these may increase the potential for successful implementation. Sometimes, less could actually be more. It is recommended that curriculum reform and strategies be based on the realities on the ground and much less on political ambitions. Implementation of curricula depends on improved coordination of development efforts with a focus on curriculum. It is recommended to increase the efficiency, clearly define institutional responsibilities, and provide for better cooperation and communication with across existing institutions and departments.

Curriculum and training needs of mid-level health workers in Africa: A situational review from Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa and Uganda - Couper, Ian; Couper, Ian; Ray, Sunanda; Ray, Sunanda; Blaauw, Duane; Ng'Wena, Gideon; Muchiri, Lucy; Oyungu, Eren; Omigbodun, Akinyinka; Omigbodun, Akinyinka; Morhason-Bello, Imran; Ibingira, Charles; et al. (BMC Health Services Research, 2018)
© 2018 The Author(s). Background: Africa's health systems rely on services provided by mid-level health workers (MLWs). Investment in their training is worthwhile since they are more likely to be retained in underserved areas, require shorter training courses and are less dependent on technology and investigations in their clinical practice than physicians. Their training programs and curricula need up-dating to be relevant to their practice and to reflect advances in health professional education. This study was conducted to review the training and curricula of MLWs in Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa and Uganda, to ascertain areas for improvement. Methods: Key informants from professional associations, regulatory bodies, training institutions, labour organisations and government ministries were interviewed in each country. Policy documents and training curricula were reviewed for relevant content. Feedback was provided through stakeholder and participant meetings and comments recorded. 421 District managers and 975 MLWs from urban and rural government district health facilities completed self-administered questionnaires regarding MLW training and performance. Results: Qualitative data indicated commonalities in scope of practice and in training programs across the four countries, with a focus on basic diagnosis and medical treatment. Older programs tended to be more didactic in their training approach and were often lacking in resources. Significant concerns regarding skills gaps and quality of training were raised. Nevertheless, quantitative data showed that most MLWs felt their basic training was adequate for the work they do. MLWs and district managers indicated that training methods needed updating with additional skills offered. MLWs wanted their training to include more problem-solving approaches and practical procedures that could be life-saving. Conclusions: MLWs are essential frontline workers in health services, not just a stop-gap. In Kenya, Nigeria and Uganda, their important role is appreciated by health service managers. At the same time, significant deficiencies in training program content and educational methodologies exist in these countries, whereas programs in South Africa appear to have benefited from their more recent origin. Improvements to training and curricula, based on international educational developments as well as the local burden of disease, will enable them to function with greater effectiveness and contribute to better quality care and outcomes.

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

Customised E-Learning Platforms - Pitchford, Nicola (Introduction to Development Engineering: A Framework with Applications from the Field, 2023)
More than 617 million children and adolescents lack the basic reading and mathematics skills required to live healthy and productive lives. Malawi ranks particularly poorly, with an average pupil to teacher ratio of 77:1 and a 50% dropout rate among primary school children. Established in 2013, the Unlocking Talent initiative uses e-Learning technology to help overcome educational challenges. It equips touch-screen tablets with customisable software that delivers lessons through multisensory experiences (e.g. pictures, sound, video and animation). Throughout Malawi, small groups of students in public primary schools have accessed these tablets during weekly sessions on-site. This case study describes a series of evaluations of this e-Learning technology in Malawi, conducted in tandem with experiments in other countries (including the United Kingdom, Brazil, South Africa, Tanzania, Kenya and Ethiopia). Following a pilot evaluation to assess the feasibility of e-Learning in raising learning outcomes, multiple large-scale randomised control trials were conducted. Learning gains hold across multiple cohorts of children and across different countries, generating more than a 3-month advantage in basic mathematics and more than a 4-month advantage in basic reading on average. The intervention also bridges gender gaps in mathematics skills attainment in Malawi.

Cyberbullying Among Adolescents and Children: A Comprehensive Review of the Global Situation, Risk Factors, and Preventive Measures - Zhu, Chengyan; Huang, Shiqing; Evans, Richard; Zhang, Wei (Frontiers in Public Health, 2021)
Background: Cyberbullying is well-recognized as a severe public health issue which affects both adolescents and children. Most extant studies have focused on national and regional effects of cyberbullying, with few examining the global perspective of cyberbullying. This systematic review comprehensively examines the global situation, risk factors, and preventive measures taken worldwide to fight cyberbullying among adolescents and children.Methods: A systematic review of available literature was completed following PRISMA guidelines using the search themes “cyberbullying” and “adolescent or children”; the time frame was from January 1st, 2015 to December 31st, 2019. Eight academic databases pertaining to public health, and communication and psychology were consulted, namely: Web of Science, Science Direct, PubMed, Google Scholar, ProQuest, Communication & Mass Media Complete, CINAHL, and PsycArticles. Additional records identified through other sources included the references of reviews and two websites, Cyberbullying Research Center and United Nations Children's Fund. A total of 63 studies out of 2070 were included in our final review focusing on cyberbullying prevalence and risk factors.Results: The prevalence rates of cyberbullying preparation ranged from 6.0 to 46.3%, while the rates of cyberbullying victimization ranged from 13.99 to 57.5%, based on 63 references. Verbal violence was the most common type of cyberbullying. Fourteen risk factors and three protective factors were revealed in this study. At the personal level, variables associated with cyberbullying including age, gender, online behavior, race, health condition, past experience of victimization, and impulsiveness were reviewed as risk factors. Likewise, at the situational level, parent-child relationship, interpersonal relationships, and geographical location were also reviewed in relation to cyberbullying. As for protective factors, empathy and emotional intelligence, parent-child relationship, and school climate were frequently mentioned.Conclusion: The prevalence rate of cyberbullying has increased significantly in the observed 5-year period, and it is imperative that researchers from low and middle income countries focus sufficient attention on cyberbullying of children and adolescents. Despite a lack of scientific intervention research on cyberbullying, the review also identified several promising strategies for its prevention from the perspectives of youths, parents and schools. More research on cyberbullying is needed, especially on the issue of cross-national cyberbullying. International cooperation, multi-pronged and systematic approaches are highly encouraged to deal with cyberbullying.

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

DARWIN Series: Domain Specific Large Language Models for Natural Science - Xie, Tong; Wan, Yuwei; Huang, Wei; Yin, Zhenyu; Liu, Yixuan; Wang, Shaozhou; Linghu, Qingyuan; Kit, Chunyu; Grazian, Clara; Zhang, Wenjie; Razzak, Imran; Hoex, Bram (arXiv, 2023)
Emerging tools bring forth fresh approaches to work, and the field of natural science is no different. In natural science, traditional manual, serial, and labour-intensive work is being augmented by automated, parallel, and iterative processes driven by artificial intelligence-based experimental automation and more. To add new capabilities in natural science, enabling the acceleration and enrichment of automation of the discovery process, we present DARWIN, a series of tailored LLMs for natural science, mainly in physics, chemistry, and material science. This series relies on open-source LLM, incorporating structured and unstructured scientific knowledge from public datasets and literature. We fine-tuned the models using over 60,000 instruction data points, emphasizing factual correctness. During the fine-tuning, we introduce the Scientific Instruction Generation (SIG) model, automating instruction generation from scientific texts. This eliminates the need for manual extraction or domain-specific knowledge graphs and efficiently injects scientific knowledge into the model. We also explore multi-task training strategies, revealing interconnections between scientific tasks. DARWIN series not only achieves state-of-the-art results on various scientific tasks but also diminishes reliance on closed-source AI models. Our research showcases the ability of LLM in the scientific domain, with the overarching goal of fostering prosperity within the broader AI for science community.

Data for Development: Shifting Research Methodologies for Covid-19 - Traxler, John; Smith, Matt (Journal of Learning for Development, 2020)
Successful and appropriate informal digital learning can help individuals and communities build sustainable and meaningful livelihoods, strengthen social cohesion and resilience, preserve and enhance cultural traditions and engage constructively and robustly with the wider world. Building digital learning that embodies participative and collaborative development and community ownership and control rests on the work of educators who understand these individuals and communities and their cultures, which may be very distant and different from global norms and the mainstream of their countries. These educators may, however, be reliant on research tools and techniques that are inappropriate or inadequate in these different settings and situations. This paper sets out a brief critique of these established tools and techniques as the prelude to reviewing a range of more innovative and eclectic ones drawn from a variety of disciplines. This is timely because COVID-19 has increased the barriers that separate educators from would-be learners whilst also increasing the education that these people and communities need.
