Reports from the Field: Primary School in Brazil Using Finnish Innovation Pedagogy to Create Meaningful Online Education During the COVID-19 Pandemic - Joshi, Marjo; Scheinin, Minna; Miranda, Luis; Piispa, Juliana (Journal of Learning for Development, 2020)
ISO Colegío in Paraiba, Brazil, implemented Finnish innovation pedagogy from Turku University of Applied Sciences (TUAS) as a pedagogical strategy in their new primary school in early 2020. The implementation started in class teaching but due to the pandemic, it was transferred online, still using the new pedagogical approaches. Experiences by teachers and pupils have so far been mostly positive. Management has been satisfied with the overall success and plan to continue with innovation pedagogy as a strategy.

Remedying education: Evidence from Two randomized experiments in India - Banerjee, Abhijit; Cole, Shawn; Duflo, Esther; Linden, Leigh L (NBER, 2005)
Many efforts to improve school quality by adding school resources have proven to be ineffective. This paper presents the results of two experiments conducted in Mumbai and Vadodara, India, designed to evaluate waysto improve the quality of education in urban slums. A remedial education program hired young women from the community to teach basic literacy and numeracy skills to children lagging behind in government schools. We find the program to be very effective: it increased average test scores of all children in treatment schools by 0.14 standard deviations in the first year, and 0.28 in the second year, relative to comparison schools. A computer-assisted learning program provided each child in the fourth grade with two hours of shared computer time per week, in which students played educational games that reinforced mathematics skills. The program was also very effective, increasing math scores by 0.35 standard deviations the first year, and 0.47 the second year. These results were not limited to the period in which students received assistance, but persisted for at least one year afterleaving the program. Two instrumental variable strategies suggest that while remedial education benefited the children who attended the remedial classes, their classmates, who did not attend the remedial courses but did experience smaller classes, did not post gains, confirming that resources alone may not be sufficient to improve outcomes.

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

Relationship Between Classroom Physical Environment and Students’ Academic Achievement at Secondary Level - Zaman, Fakhar; Begum, Shabnam; Ullah, Mati (2020)
For fruitful teaching and learning process, physical classroom environment is very essential. The key purpose of the study was examining relationship between classroom physical environment and students’ academic achievement at Secondary Level in Southern KP. The study was descriptive in nature. The population of the study comprised of the five districts in Southern KP in which (n = 400) respondents were taken as sample of the study by applying stratified random sampling technique in which 200 were urban (100 male students and 100 female students). Similarly, 200 were rural students (100 male and 100 female). From each selected district, 05 urban and 05 rural male schools and similarly 05 urban and 05 rural female schools were randomly selected among these 05 districts. Data were collected from 20 schools. A self-developed questionnaire was used to find views of the students about their physical class room environment. Cronbach Alpha was applied. The collected data was entered into SPSS. Results and conclusions were drawn according to the nature of study. Thus, some recommendations were suggested at the end for the further improvement and future researcher.

Regulating AI - Mantelero, Alessandro (Beyond Data: Human Rights, Ethical and Social Impact Assessment in AI, 2022)
Although the debate on AI regulation is still fluid at a global level and the European initiatives are in their early stages, three possible approaches to grounding AI regulation on human rights are emerging. One option is a principles-based approach, comprising guiding principles derived from existing binding and non-binding international human rights instruments, which could provide a comprehensive framework for AI. A different approach focuses more narrowly on the impacts of AI on individual rights and their safeguarding through rights-based risk assessment. This is the path followed by the Council of Europe in its ongoing work on AI regulation. Finally, as outlined in the EU proposal, greater emphasis can be placed on managing high-risk applications by focusing on product safety and conformity assessment. Despite the differences between these three models, they all share a core concern with protecting human rights, recognised as a key issue in all of them. However, in these proposals for AI regulation, the emphasis on risk management is not accompanied by effective models for assessing the impact of AI on human rights. Analysis of the current debate therefore confirms that the HRESIA could not only be an effective response to human-rights oriented AI development that also encompasses societal values, but it could also bridge a gap in the current regulatory proposals.

Refugee Education: A Rapid Evidence Review - Ashlee, Amy; Clericetti, Giulia; Mitchell, Joel (EdTech Hub, 2020)
This Rapid Evidence Review (RER) provides an overview of existing literature on the use of educational technology (EdTech) for education of refugees in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The RER has been produced in response to the widespread global shutdown of schools resulting from the outbreak of Covid-19. It therefore has an emphasis on transferable insights that may be applicable to educational responses resulting from the limitations caused by Covid-19. In the current global context, lessons learnt from the use of EdTech in refugee contexts — in which education is often significantly disrupted and education systems and responses are required to rapidly adapt — are salient.

Reforming teacher education in Tanzania - Hardman, F; Abd-Kadir, J; Tibuhinda, A (International Journal of Educational Development, 2012)
It is widely acknowledged that in order to improve the quality of education in primary schools in developing countries there is a need to place pedagogy and its training implications at the centre of teacher education reform. Like many countries in Eastern and Southern Africa, Tanzania has introduced various initiatives and reforms to improve the quality of teacher education at the pre- and in-service stages. Drawing on evidence from a baseline study of primary teacher interactional and discourse practices, and a review of teacher training colleges, this paper explores the training needs of teacher educators in Tanzania who, in the light of recent reforms to teacher education, will be responsible for education and training at the pre and in-service levels.

Reforming Teacher Education for Inclusion in Developing Countries in the Asia-Pacific Region - Sharma, Umesh; Forlin, Chris; Deppeler, Joanne; Guang-Xue, Yang (International Journal of Inclusive Education, 2013)
A number of Asian Pacific countries have ratified the UN Conventions on the Rights of People with Disabilities and have identified an urgent need to include children with special educational needs in regular school programs. Successful implementation of such a policy reform requires significant changes in the way education is provided to all students, but most importantly depends upon how adequately the teachers and related professionals are prepared to implement the reform. This paper reviews research from 13 Asian Pacific countries, undertaken in the last five years, to address two questions. First it reports on the issues, challenges, and proposals related to inclusive education in these countries. Second the review reports on how each region has progressed towards implementing the Millennium Development Goals with particular emphasis on how teacher education has or has not responded to this. The review concludes that a lack of well thought out policy, few resources, and limited understanding of inclusion seems widespread in the Asia-Pacific region. As yet special education and related service expertise and teacher education for inclusion, is not in place to support teachers to work inclusively.

Reforming teacher deployment in Indonesia - Heyward, Mark; Hadiwijaya, Aos Santosa; Mahargianto; Priyono, Edy (Journal of Development Effectiveness, 2017)
This paper reports on a mixed-method, multiple-site study of teacher deployment in Indonesian primary schools. Results from a sample of 23 districts were analysed at district and national level. Substantial disparities in teacher distribution were found in all districts, between schools, between sub-districts and between specialist subjects. Two main issues emerged: uneven teacher distribution and small schools. The study found that a policy research approach which addresses political and cultural, as well as technical, dimensions at sub-national level can succeed in improving teacher deployment where previous efforts have failed.

Reflections on the Methodological Approach of Systematic Reviews - Hammersley, Martyn (Systematic Reviews in Educational Research: Methodology, Perspectives and Application, 2020)
The concept of systematic reviewing of research literatures became influential in the second half of the 20th century, in the context of the longstanding, and challenging, issue of how to ‘translate’ research findings into reliable guidance for practical decision-making—to determine which policies, programs, and strategies should (and should not) be adopted (Hammersley 2014; Nisbet and Broadfoot 1980).

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

Reference Coverage Analysis of OpenAlex compared to Web of Science and Scopus - Culbert, Jack; Hobert, Anne; Jahn, Najko; Haupka, Nick; Schmidt, Marion; Donner, Paul; Mayr, Philipp (arXiv, 2024)
OpenAlex is a promising open source of scholarly metadata, and competitor to the established proprietary sources, the Web of Science and Scopus. As OpenAlex provides its data freely and openly, it permits researchers to perform bibliometric studies that can be reproduced in the community without licensing barriers. However, as OpenAlex is a rapidly evolving source and the data contained within is expanding and also quickly changing, the question naturally arises as to the trustworthiness of its data. In this empirical paper, we will study the reference and metadata coverage within each database and compare them with each other to help address this open question in bibliometrics. In our large-scale study, we demonstrate that, when restricted to a cleaned dataset of 16,788,282 recent publications shared by all three databases, OpenAlex has average reference numbers comparable to both Web of Science and Scopus. We also demonstrate that the comparison of other core metadata covered by OpenAlex shows mixed results, with OpenAlex capturing more ORCID identifiers, fewer abstracts and a similar number of Open Access information per article when compared to both Web of Science and Scopus.

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

Reducing Physical Violence Toward Primary School Students With Disabilities - Devries, Karen; Kuper, Hannah; Knight, Louise; Allen, Elizabeth; Kyegombe, Nambusi; Banks, Lena Morgon; Kelly, Susan; Naker, Dipak (Journal of Adolescent Health, 2018)
Purpose We tested whether the Good School Toolkit reduces physical violence from peers and school staff toward students with and without disabilities in Ugandan primary schools. Methods We conducted a cluster randomized controlled trial, with data collected via cross-sectional surveys in 2012 and 2014. Forty-two primary schools in Luwero District, Uganda, were randomly assigned to receive the Good School Toolkit for 18 months, or to a waitlisted control group. The primary outcome was past week physical violence from school staff, measured by primary 5, 6, and 7 students' (aged 11–14 years) self-reports using the International Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect Child Abuse Screening Tool-Child Institutional. Disability was assessed through the six Short Set Washington Group questions on functioning. Analyses were by intention to treat. Results At endline, 53% of control group students with no functional difficulties reported violence from peers or school staff, versus 84% of students with a disability. Prevalence of past week physical violence from school staff was lower in intervention schools than in the control schools after the intervention, in students with no functional difficulties (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = .41, 95% confidence interval [CI .26–.65]), students with some functional difficulties (aOR = .36, 95% CI .21–.63), and students with disabilities (aOR = .29, 95% CI .14–.59). The intervention also reduced violence from peers in young adolescents, with no evidence of a difference in effect by disability status. Conclusions The Good School Toolkit is an effective intervention to reduce violence perpetrated by peers and school staff against young adolescents with disabilities in Ugandan primary schools.

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

Reducing classroom temperature in a tropical climate improved the thermal comfort and the performance of elementary school pupils - Porras-Salazar, Jose Ali; Wyon, David P.; Piderit-Moreno, Beatriz; Contreras-Espinoza, Sergio; Wargocki, Pawel (Indoor Air, 2018)
A two-week-long intervention study was performed in two classrooms in an elementary school in Costa Rica. Split-cooling air-conditioning (AC) units were installed in both classrooms. During the first week, the air temperature was reduced in one classroom while in the other (placebo) classroom the fans were operated but no cooling was provided. During the second week, the conditions were exchanged to create a 2 × 2 crossover design in which each pupil was their own control. A total of 37 children performed tasks similar to school work and completed questionnaires reporting their thermal sensation and perceptions. Operating the AC units reduced classroom temperature by about 5 K, from about 30 to 25°C. Thermal sensations changed from hot to neutral and slightly cold, and the percentage of children rating the thermal conditions as acceptable increased significantly. Neutral temperature was estimated to be about 27°C. The 11-year-old children performed the language and logical- thinking tasks significantly better in terms of speed at the lower temperature, while the less able pupils performed better on all tasks at the lower temperature. There were no significant effects on accuracy. These results confirm published findings from moderate climates and extend their validity to the tropics. They indicate that acclimatization can increase the optimal temperature for learning.

Redesigning the Education Workforce: A Design Thinking Approach Background Paper: Transforming the Education Workforce - Mlambo, Yeukai; Neilsen, Ann; Silova, Iveta; Wolfenden, Freda; Rafaeli, Tal; Jones, Charlotte (2020)
The Education Workforce Initiative (EWI) was established in response to a recommendation from the Education Commission’s Learning Generation report to explore new ways of diversifying and strengthening the education workforce. The Transforming the Education Workforce report is one of EWI’s key contributions to catalyzing this thinking. It draws on recent evidence and provides thought leadership on how to rethink the education workforce. For the full report and other supporting documents, please visitEducationWorkforce.org. The Transforming the Education Workforce report was originally commissioned as a set of sequential background papers and thus each paper infuenced and references the others. The background papers are written by different authors and cover the rationale for rethinking the education workforce, the design of the education workforce, how it can be strengthened, and political economy and fnancial considerations. This background paper focuses on redesigning the education workforce using a design thinking approach to propose design options for the workforce needed now and in the future.

Reconsidering Access: Using Specific Impact Ranking Metrics to Manage Access in Conventional and Open Higher Education - Kassim, Halima-Sa'adia; Rampersad, David (Journal of Learning for Development, 2022)
This paper considers the widening access and participation agenda, its implications for higher education institutions (HEIs) and contends that it must be underpinned by strategic measurement and monitoring. Access is viewed through of the following lenses: (i) supporting participation, and (ii) facilitating equity. Using mixed methods, the paper draws on data from The University of the West Indies (UWI) and provides examples from key plans and initiatives over 20 years to showcase how the UWI has increased access. Concurrently, the need for more nuanced and complex datasets to assess the extent of equity is highlighted with metrics drawn from the Times Higher Education University Impact Ranking. The authors argue that the strategic use and management of data can promote public accountability associated with access and boost institutional reputation. However, universities will have to be innovative and accelerate measures to survive/thrive in the post-pandemic environment by identifying their institutional scope and “system of interest” in widening access.

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

Recognition of Prior Learning Implementation in Library and Information Science Schools in South Africa: A Literature Review - Hlongwane, I (Africa Education Review, 2018)
This article reviews the literature on trends and practices of recognition of prior learning (RPL) in Africa and internationally with specific reference to some of the key elements of the RPL system, including; purpose; assessment methods; quality assurance; and legislative and regulatory frameworks. In addition, a theoretical foundation of RPL is discussed underpinned by the experiential learning theory principles with a brief description of other learning theories related to RPL. The article also discusses the trends and practices of RPL in African countries with an established RPL system. The key finding of the literature review was that there are different conceptions of RPL globally but which all have a similar purpose, that is, economic benefit. Africa has a different take on RPL. A portfolio of evidence is the most commonly used method of assessment both internationally and in Africa with an increased use of e-portfolios internationally. A variety of quality assurance methods are used which differ from country to country but are similar to the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) quality standards which have been in use for many decades in the United States (US) since the inception of RPL. There are discrepancies in terms of legislative and regulatory frameworks. Some countries in Africa and internationally have no formal legislative and regulatory frameworks for RPL despite providing RPL services for years or decades. South Africa and Mauritius boast standardised and regulated RPL systems as do other developed countries such as New Zealand.

Recent Advances in Intelligent Textbooks for Better Learning - Jiang, Bo; Gu, Meijun; Du, Ying (AI in Learning: Designing the Future, 2023)
Intelligent textbooks are a new form of digital textbooks that provides students with intelligent learning services, such as automatic question answering, adaptive navigation support, automatic linking, and personalized recommendation. Educators are investing much effort into the conversion of their paper-based textbooks and digital textbooks into intelligent textbooks. This chapter provides a brief introduction to the development of intelligent textbooks and reviews major adaptive technologies and the usage of intelligent textbooks in the past decade. We first summarize the development of intelligent textbooks and the existing authoring platforms. Then, the key intelligent technologies used in the intelligent textbooks are reviewed, including domain modeling, student modeling, and instruction technologies. Moreover, the empirical studies conducted to evaluate intelligent textbooks are summarized. This chapter would promote understanding of the current state of the technology and platform development of intelligent textbooks.

Realities of Remote Learning: Lessons from Initial Findings of an 8,000-Household Survey in Peru During COVID-19 (Innovations for Poverty Action, 2020)
Most schools throughout Latin America have closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the school closures, nearly 8 million Peruvian students, from preschool to high school, are stuck at home. Within a few weeks, the Ministry of Education (Minedu) developed the Aprendo en Casa (AeC) (meaning “Learn at Home”) strategy. Although the strategy has been designed with diverse users in mind, many have asked: How many students are actually using the AeC distance education program? What can we improve? In this context, Minedu's Office of Strategic Monitoring and Evaluation (OSEE), with the support of Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), designed a survey to learn about the experiences of school administrators, teachers, and parents with the program.

Realist synthesis: illustrating the method for implementation research - Rycroft-Malone, Jo; McCormack, Brendan; Hutchinson, Alison M.; DeCorby, Kara; Bucknall, Tracey K.; Kent, Bridie; Schultz, Alyce; Snelgrove-Clarke, Erna; Stetler, Cheryl B.; Titler, Marita; Wallin, Lars; Wilson, Val (Implementation Science, 2012)
Realist synthesis is an increasingly popular approach to the review and synthesis of evidence, which focuses on understanding the mechanisms by which an intervention works (or not). There are few published examples of realist synthesis. This paper therefore fills a gap by describing, in detail, the process used for a realist review and synthesis to answer the question ‘what interventions and strategies are effective in enabling evidence-informed healthcare?’ The strengths and challenges of conducting realist review are also considered.

Realist review–a new method of systematic review designed for complex policy interventions - Pawson, Ray; Greenhalgh, Trisha; Harvey, Gill; Walshe, Kieran (Journal of Health Services Research & Policy, 2005)
Evidence-based policy is a dominant theme in contemporary public services but the practical realities and challenges involved in using evidence in policy-making are formidable. Part of the problem is one of complexity. In health services and other public services, we are dealing with complex social interventions which act on complex social systems–things like league tables, performance measures, regulation and inspection, or funding reforms. These are not 'magic bullets' which will always hit their target, but programmes whose effects are crucially dependent on context and implementation. Traditional methods of review focus on measuring and reporting on programme effectiveness, often find that the evidence is mixed or conflicting, and provide little or no clue as to why the intervention worked or did not work when applied in different contexts or circumstances, deployed by different stakeholders, or used for different purposes. This paper offers a model of research synthesis which is designed to work with complex social interventions or programmes, and which is based on the emerging 'realist' approach to evaluation. It provides an explanatory analysis aimed at discerning what works for whom, in what circumstances, in what respects and how. The first step is to make explicit the programme theory (or theories)–the underlying assumptions about how an intervention is meant to work and what impacts it is expected to have. We then look for empirical evidence to populate this theoretical framework, supporting, contradicting or modifying the programme theories as it goes. The results of the review combine theoretical understanding and empirical evidence, and focus on explaining the relationship between the context in which the intervention is applied, the mechanisms by which it works and the outcomes which are produced. The aim is to enable decision-makers to reach a deeper understanding of the intervention and how it can be made to work most effectively. Realist review does not provide simple answers to complex questions. It will not tell policy-makers or managers whether something works or not, but will provide the policy and practice community with the kind of rich, detailed and highly practical understanding of complex social interventions which is likely to be of much more use to them when planning and implementing programmes at a national, regional or local level.

Reading for pleasure in paradise: paired reading in Antigua and Barbuda - Warrington, Molly J; George, Patricia (Literacy, 2014)
Reading for pleasure is essential in the development of literacy. This paper reports on findings from a paired reading strategy introduced into primary schools in Antigua and Barbuda in order to foster children's pleasure in reading. This programme of cross‐age peer tutoring intervention began with the training of teachers in a small group of seven schools and was extended to all the schools on the islands in the following year. Qualitative research data from children and teachers showed that children were enthusiastic about the experience, with some evidence to show that their wider interest in reading was stimulated. Although for the pupils, particularly the younger ones, the main benefit of shared reading was perceived to be an improvement in reading skills, for teachers, it was the increase in children's confidence in reading that was cited as the most positive outcome. Although resource constraints in some schools did limit the scope of the programme, the paper argues that it boosted the reading development of a number of children and may have acted as a catalyst for stimulating a lasting pleasure and joy in reading.

Re-visioning Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) for the Youth in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Prospects and Promises Within the Framework of the Ubuntu Paradigm - Ogwo, Benjamin A. (Re-Visioning Education in Africa: Ubuntu-Inspired Education for Humanity, 2018)
Ogwo explains the concept of Ubuntu paradigm and analyses how its precepts could be adopted in designing and implementing technical vocational education and training (TVET) programmes that can enhance the attainment of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) in sub-Saharan African countries. The chapter adopts the conceptual approach of using the Ubuntu lens to re-vision technical vocational education and training (TVET), which is the fundamental means for technically acculturating the youth who will steer the sustainable development goals (SDGs) programmes towards eradicating poverty, enhancing food security, encouraging gender empowerment, improving quality of life, and sustainable progress of sub-Saharan Africa. It also examines Ubuntu-based soft skills, affective competencies, and ethical re-engineering of TVET programmes for environmentally friendly, justice-driven, people oriented and communally derived sustainable development of sub-Saharan Africa.

Re-Integrating Vocational Technical Skill Acquisition into the Educational Curriculum: Capacity Building for Future Professionals - Olukanni, David O.; Aderonmu, Peter A.; Ogbiye, Adebanji S.; Akinwumi, Isaac I.; Chova, LG; Martinez, AL; Torres, IC (ICERI 2014, 2014)
One of the observable problems facing most developing nations today is the non-availability of adequately trained and well-motivated professionals with the capacity to solving problems of national development. Many University graduate professionals complain of unemployment. However, there exist substantial employment opportunities in Africa and other developing nations but the major challenge being that, the skills to match up with imminent challenges are missing. There is, therefore a need to re-integrate vocational technical skill acquisition into the Educational Curriculum for young professionals with proper mental orientation and practical skills for solving societal problems. This paper underlined the necessity of re-integrating vocational technical education (VTE) courses with special targets on sustainability and capacity building aspect of citizenry lives with a view to ascertain the empowerment of students for self employment after graduation. In a bid to achieve this, the current pedagogical approach and curriculum dynamics employed at the Architecture and Civil Engineering Department of Covenant University Ota, Nigeria was evaluated. Specific reference was made in terms of knowledge application from fabrication, construction in timber, reinforced concrete and steel to the main architectural design project. As regards the capacity building development aspect within the architectural and civil engineering education, the application of the respective vocational technical knowledge, obtained through lectures, site works and work shop practices were of major essence in collaborative design projects. It is expected that the indispensability of VTE courses for a successfully-integrated design would bind every element of the design together in different scales. In this way, the sustainability component of the designs in the studio, engineering workshop practice and energy-efficient design would be put to use. The study recommended the investigation and application of all critical elements of VTE-based curriculum development for a sustainable capacity development of emerging future professionals.

(Re)Designing Augmented Reality Applications to Facilitate Intercultural Telecollaborations - Hadjistassou, Stella; Avgousti, Maria-Iosifina; Louca, Petros (Journal of Learning for Development, 2021)
This paper draws on design-based research to develop a real-world classroom Augmented Reality (AR) scenario which was accompanied by tasks used to mediate intercultural telecollaboration. It investigates the role of these tasks and AR scenario in enacting affordances to enrich students’ learning experiences, to establish a connection between classroom management techniques, their local context and future teaching practices and to promote insightful reflections on such practices. The trajectories upon which these tasks were designed were practice-oriented inviting students to explore three options in dealing with classroom misbehavior and reserved students. Using their mobile devices, students could view in AR a classroom setting, a student’s disruptive behavior and three possible approaches in dealing with such behavior. Upon exploring the three options in handling classroom misbehavior, students across the two participating academic institutions in Europe could post their comments on a newly created platform, ReDesign.

Randomized Trial of Tablet Computers for Education and Learning in Children and Young People with Low Vision - Gothwal, Vijaya K.; Thomas, Rachel; Crossland, Michael; Bharani, Seelam; Sharma, Sujata; Unwin, Hilary; Xing, Wen; Khabra, Komel; Dahlmann-Noor, Annegret (Optometry and Vision Science, 2018)
SIGNIFICANCE Mobile devices such as tablet computers have become widely available as mainstream devices and are also used in some schools, but there is an absence of robust information regarding the efficacy of any optical/electronic low vision device or tablet computer in supporting education of young people with low vision. PURPOSE A randomized controlled trial (RCT) is needed to measure the impact of tablet computers on education, specifically on independent access to educational material, in children and young people with low vision. We conducted a pilot RCT to determine the feasibility of conducting a full-scale trial. METHODS This was a randomized multicenter pilot trial across two sites in the United Kingdom and one site in India. Forty children and young people aged 10 to 18 years with low vision (best-corrected visual acuity for distance between <20/60 [0.48 logMAR] and 20/400 [1.30 logMAR] in the better eye) in the United Kingdom (n = 20) and India (n = 20) were randomized to two parallel arms, with a 1:1 allocation ratio, to control (n = 20) or intervention (n = 20). Control group participants received standard low vision care. The intervention group received a tablet computer (iPad) with low vision applications and instruction in its use, including accessibility features. Four primary outcomes included (1) 6-month recruitment rate, (2) retention of participants for 3 months, (3) acceptance/usage of device, and (4) accessibility of device. RESULTS Nineteen participants (95%) enrolled within 6 months in the United Kingdom, and 20 participants (100%), in India. Retention at 3 months was 85% (n = 17) in the United Kingdom and 95% (n = 19) in India. More than one half of participants reported using a tablet computer at school at least once every day. The majority (90%) found it easily accessible. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that it is feasible to recruit children and young people with low vision into an international multicenter RCT of electronic assistive technology. Regardless of geographical location, children and young people with low vision reported using tablet computers at least once a day at school and accessed them easily.

Radio: Rapid Evidence Review - Damani, Kalifa; Mitchell, Joel (2020)
This Rapid Evidence Review (RER) provides an overview of the existing literature on the use of radio in education in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The present RER has been produced in response to the novel 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19), and the resulting widespread shutdown of schools. It, therefore, highlights transferable insights that may be applicable to educational responses resulting from the limitations caused by COVID-19. Established approaches to delivering distance education have renewed salience during this period because many students cannot access schooling in a school building due to social distancing requirements. As one of the longest-serving and most accessible types of educational technology (EdTech), and one that has had some success in education delivery in an LMIC context that was affected by an epidemic, it is particularly useful to focus on radio (Barnett et al., 2018; Hallgarten, 2020). Notably, the RER aims neither to advocate nor discourage the use of radio in education in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, it provides an accessible summary of existing evidence on the topic so that educators, policy makers and donors might make informed decisions about the potential of radio in education delivery.

Radical Markets: Uprooting Capitalism and Democracy for a Just Society - Posner, Eric A.; Weyl, E. Glen (Radical Markets, 2018)
Revolutionary ideas on how to use markets to bring about fairness and prosperity for all Many blame today's economic inequality, stagnation, and political instability on the free market. The solution is to rein in the market, right? Radical Markets turns this thinking–and pretty much all conventional thinking about markets, both for and against—on its head. The book reveals bold new ways to organize markets for the good of everyone. It shows how the emancipatory force of genuinely open, free, and competitive markets can reawaken the dormant nineteenth-century spirit of liberal reform and lead to greater equality, prosperity, and cooperation. Eric Posner and Glen Weyl demonstrate why private property is inherently monopolistic, and how we would all be better off if private ownership were converted into a public auction for public benefit. They show how the principle of one person, one vote inhibits democracy, suggesting instead an ingenious way for voters to effectively influence the issues that matter most to them. They argue that every citizen of a host country should benefit from immigration—not just migrants and their capitalist employers. They propose leveraging antitrust laws to liberate markets from the grip of institutional investors and creating a data labor movement to force digital monopolies to compensate people for their electronic data. Only by radically expanding the scope of markets can we reduce inequality, restore robust economic growth, and resolve political conflicts. But to do that, we must replace our most sacred institutions with truly free and open competition— Radical Markets shows how.

Race, Politics, and Pandemic Pedagogy: Education in a Time of Crisis - Giroux, Henry A. (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2021)
In this book Henry A. Giroux passionately argues that education and critical pedagogy are needed now more than ever to combat injustices in our society caused by fake news, toxic masculinity, racism, consumerism and white nationalism. At the heart of the book is the idea that pedagogy has the power to create narratives of desire, values, identity, and agency at time when these narratives are being manipulated to promote right wing populism and emerging global fascist politics. The book expands on the notion of the plague as not only a medical crisis but also a crisis of politics, ethics, education, and democracy itself. The chapters cover a range topics beginning with historical perspectives on fascism and moving on to issues of social atomization, depoliticization, neoliberal pedagogy, the scourge of staggering inequality, populism, and pandemic pedagogy. The book concludes with a call for educators to make education central to politics, develop a discourse of critique and possibility, reclaim the vision of a radical democracy, and embrace their role as powerful agents of change.

Quest: Evaluation Report and Executive Summary - Biggart, Andy; Sloan, Seaneen; O'Hare, Liam; Miller, Sarah (Education Endowment Foundation, 2015)
Quest is a whole-year group approach to teaching English in Key Stage 3. Pupils are grouped according to their current level of reading comprehension, typically with smaller classes for the lowest attaining groups. Key components of the programme include: an emphasis on collaborative (or 'co-operative') learning; a requirement that participating teachers follow a consistent 'cycle of instruction'; and the use of formative assessment in every lesson. Pupil progress is reviewed every eight weeks, with results used as the basis for re-grouping the class. This project sought to assess the impact of Quest on Year 7 pupils' reading comprehension and was supplemented by a process evaluation that assessed programme implementation. Six schools followed the programme, and a further 13 participated in the evaluation. All participating teachers received two days training and extensive resources to be used as part of the approach, including lesson plans, graded texts and 'digitexts' (interactive texts). The programme was designed to be delivered in daily 60-minute lessons by all Year 7 English teachers, and run over the full school year. The study was one of 24 projects in a themed round on literacy catch-up at the primary-secondary transition. Key conclusions include: (1) The evaluation was unable to provide a secure estimate of the impact of Quest on reading comprehension outcomes among Year 7 pupils, primarily due to a high level of drop-out from the trial. (2) Few, if any, schools implemented the programme as designed, suggesting that substantial adaptation may be required if the approach is to gain wider adoption in English schools. (3) Some of the main barriers to successful implementation included: the difficulty in covering the expected material in a single school lesson; a perception of an insufficient focus on writing activities; and its adoption as a whole-year group intervention; (4) Many schools were positive about the range of resources provided by the programme and the co-operative learning aspects of the programme; and (5) Though it is not possible to draw a conclusive statement about the impact of the programme, on average, pupils who received the programme made less progress than those who did not. The evaluation adds limited evidence to a knowledge base of whole-year group approaches to reading interventions that involve co-operative learning, setting by ability, and concentrating most resources on those who are experiencing the greatest difficulties. Further work, taking into account feedback from teachers, is needed in order to adapt Quest to the English secondary school system. This includes reducing the amount of material to be covered in each lesson, and consideration of whether there is a need for more writing opportunities within the programme.

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

Quantifying segregation on a small scale: how and where locality determines student compositions and outcomes taking Hamburg, Germany, as an example - Leist, Sebastian A.; Perry, Laura B. (School Effectiveness and School Improvement, 2020)
Increased social and academic segregation are known side effects of school choice policies in market-driven environments that facilitate competition amongst schools. Aiming at complementing foundational knowledge in quantifying segregation, this study first defines school markets (i.e., geographical context) based on student transitions from primary school to secondary school in Hamburg, Germany. Second, genuine spatial measures of segregation are applied to generate differentiated in-situ insights. In general, social segregation appears evident between school markets, school types, and individual schools and, thus, shapes social compositions of secondary schools. The pattern of student transfers across the city confirms that parents are selecting particular schools for their children, resulting in different schools servicing different composition of students and so markets. Furthermore, the findings suggest that school markets in both very affluent and very deprived areas are spatially isolated and hence persistently reproduce wealth and affluence as well as poverty and disadvantage.

PV-Solar Power Generation in Educational Institutions - Oleiwi, Fadhil Mahmood; Kasim, Naseer K.; Atwan, Ahmed F. (Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2021)
The PV solar system on the rooftop of buildings is a good source of renewable electric energy. Iraq has very large number of educational institutions with large non-invested rooftop with shortage of electrical energy supply. The present work aims at construction a simulation for PV-System action installed on rooftop of educational institutions in Baghdad using Green Power Solution (GPS) and PV-Syst programs. Based on the surface area of the schools’ roofs, the GPS program estimated three main PV-Systems which can be carried out, 63kW, 50kW, and 30kW in order to supply the electric power to selected school. Due to allocating few hours for school’s studying time along the year, the suitable PV-System is on-grid connection. The results indicated that the annual system performance ratio is 81.9% and the annual output power of these systems were 111.0 MWh/year, 88 MWh/year and 51.4 MWh/year respectively, 19.3MWh/year of them was consumed for this school and the rest is a feedback for grid. This green generation reduced the amount of emission CO2 by 73.981 tons, 62.216 tons and 36.3398 tons per year for systems 63kW, 50kW and 30kW respectively. The results also appear that the initial capital cost of each system can be recovered during the first six years of system operation.

Publication rate and citation counts for preprints released during the COVID-19 pandemic: the good, the bad and the ugly - Añazco, Diego; Nicolalde, Bryan; Espinosa, Isabel; Camacho, Jose; Mushtaq, Mariam; Gimenez, Jimena; Teran, Enrique (PeerJ, 2021)
Background Preprints are preliminary reports that have not been peer-reviewed. In December 2019, a novel coronavirus appeared in China, and since then, scientific production, including preprints, has drastically increased. In this study, we intend to evaluate how often preprints about COVID-19 were published in scholarly journals and cited. Methods We searched the iSearch COVID-19 portfolio to identify all preprints related to COVID-19 posted on bioRxiv, medRxiv, and Research Square from January 1, 2020, to May 31, 2020. We used a custom-designed program to obtain metadata using the Crossref public API. After that, we determined the publication rate and made comparisons based on citation counts using non-parametric methods. Also, we compared the publication rate, citation counts, and time interval from posting on a preprint server to publication in a scholarly journal among the three different preprint servers. Results Our sample included 5,061 preprints, out of which 288 were published in scholarly journals and 4,773 remained unpublished (publication rate of 5.7%). We found that articles published in scholarly journals had a significantly higher total citation count than unpublished preprints within our sample (p < 0.001), and that preprints that were eventually published had a higher citation count as preprints when compared to unpublished preprints (p < 0.001). As well, we found that published preprints had a significantly higher citation count after publication in a scholarly journal compared to as a preprint (p < 0.001). Our results also show that medRxiv had the highest publication rate, while bioRxiv had the highest citation count and shortest time interval from posting on a preprint server to publication in a scholarly journal. Conclusions We found a remarkably low publication rate for preprints within our sample, despite accelerated time to publication by multiple scholarly journals. These findings could be partially attributed to the unprecedented surge in scientific production observed during the COVID-19 pandemic, which might saturate reviewing and editing processes in scholarly journals. However, our findings show that preprints had a significantly lower scientific impact, which might suggest that some preprints have lower quality and will not be able to endure peer-reviewing processes to be published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Public Administration Training and Development in Africa: The Case of the Republic of South Africa - Subban, Mogie; Vyas-Doorgapersad, Shikha (Journal of Public Affairs Education, 2014)
South Africa is a developmental state that suffers from a lack of management capacity in the public service. Hence, a national imperative focuses on addressing talent management and building a cohort of qualified and competent public servants. The synergistic link between public sector management and the content of public administration can be associated with and contribute to addressing critical skills shortages in the public service. Training in this regard with the demand for and supply of competent managers raises some serious consideration. Given that academicians and scholars often criticize the history and evolution of education and training in public administration as being overly administrative and outdated, how has the need for a transformative management-governance context advanced in South Africa? In this regard, a range of "soft skills" deemed necessary for the developmental agenda in South Africa is a focal point of contemporary public administration. From a training perspective, methodologies include problem-based learning, performance-oriented and situation-emergent training, project management approach to managerial problems, and emphasis placed on indigenous management knowledge in a developmental context. We hope that these innovative approaches would address the wide managerial gap in the public administration environment.

PubGraph: A Large Scale Scientific Temporal Knowledge Graph - Ahrabian, Kian; Du, Xinwei; Myloth, Richard Delwin; Ananthan, Arun Baalaaji Sankar; Pujara, J. (ArXiv, 2023)
Research publications are the primary vehicle for sharing sci-entiﬁc progress in the form of new discoveries, methods, techniques, and insights. Publications have been studied from the perspectives of both content analysis and bibliometric structure, but a barrier to more comprehensive studies of scien-tiﬁc research is a lack of publicly accessible large-scale data and resources. In this paper, we present PubGraph , a new resource for studying scientiﬁc progress that takes the form of a large-scale temporal knowledge graph (KG). It contains more than 432M nodes and 15.49B edges mapped to the popular Wikidata ontology. We extract three KGs with varying sizes from PubGraph to allow experimentation at different scales. Using these KGs, we introduce a new link prediction benchmark for transductive and inductive settings with temporally-aligned training, validation, and testing partitions. Moreover, we develop two new inductive learning methods better suited to PubGraph, operating on unseen nodes without explicit features, scaling to large KGs, and outperforming existing models. Our results demonstrate that structural features of past citations are sufﬁcient to produce high-quality predictions about new publications. We also identify new challenges for KG models, including an adversarial community-based link prediction setting, zero-shot inductive learning, and large-scale learning.

PubGraph: A Large-Scale Scientific Knowledge Graph - Ahrabian, Kian; Du, Xinwei; Myloth, Richard Delwin; Ananthan, Arun Baalaaji Sankar; Pujara, J. (2023)
Research publications are the primary vehicle for sharing scientific progress in the form of new discoveries, methods, techniques, and insights. Unfortunately, the lack of a large-scale, comprehensive, and easy-to-use resource capturing the myriad relationships between publications, their authors, and venues presents a barrier to applications for gaining a deeper understanding of science. In this paper, we present PubGraph, a new resource for studying scientific progress that takes the form of a large-scale knowledge graph (KG) with more than 385M entities, 13B main edges, and 1.5B qualifier edges. PubGraph is comprehensive and unifies data from various sources, including Wikidata, OpenAlex, and Semantic Scholar, using the Wikidata ontology. Beyond the metadata available from these sources, PubGraph includes outputs from auxiliary community detection algorithms and large language models. To further support studies on reasoning over scientific networks, we create several large-scale benchmarks extracted from PubGraph for the core task of knowledge graph completion (KGC). These benchmarks present many challenges for knowledge graph embedding models, including an adversarial community-based KGC evaluation setting, zero-shot inductive learning, and large-scale learning. All of the aforementioned resources are accessible at https://pubgraph.isi.edu/ and released under the CC-BY-SA license. We plan to update PubGraph quarterly to accommodate the release of new publications.

Psychometric evaluation of the self-efficacy questionnaire for children (SEQ-C): validation among Chinese children and adolescents - Xie, Han; Shlonsky, Aron; Harrigan, Susy (Current Psychology, 2022)
The Self-Efficacy Questionnaire for Children (SEQ-C) is a well-established measure of self-efficacy including three specific task demands, that is, academic self-efficacy, social self-efficacy, and emotional self-efficacy. The present study examined the applicability of the SEQ-C for measuring children’s self-efficacy in a Chinese population. The sample was comprised of 1491 students in Grade 4 to 11 (boys = 52.8%; mean age = 13.0 years) in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted to test the factor structure of the SEQ-C. Also, bivariate correlations between SEQ-C and children’s prosocial behavior, bullying behavior and victimized experience were tested to reflect the convergent validity of the SEQ-C. The results revealed that a modified 20-item Chinese version of the SEQ-C had excellent internal consistency reliability, good construct validity, overall acceptable convergent validity and measurement invariance across gender and school level. Only minor adaptions were necessary, and the rationale for making these adjustments was based on both content and performance of the measure. In addition to the cross-cultural validation, this study has extended the age range of the target users (14 to 17 years) by confirming the suitability of the SEQ-C for age groups spanning primary and secondary school children aged between 9 and 18 years. For those working and doing research in schools, this validation study increases confidence in the use of the Chinese SEQ-C and its subscales for identifying children’s self-efficacy in specific domains and for conducting research on interventions where self-efficacy is an important predictor or outcome.

Psychometric assessment of three newly developed implementation outcome measures - Weiner, Bryan J.; Lewis, Cara C.; Stanick, Cameo; Powell, Byron J.; Dorsey, Caitlin N.; Clary, Alecia S.; Boynton, Marcella H.; Halko, Heather (Implementation Science : IS, 2017)
Background Implementation outcome measures are essential for monitoring and evaluating the success of implementation efforts. Yet, currently available measures lack conceptual clarity and have largely unknown reliability and validity. This study developed and psychometrically assessed three new measures: the Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM), Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM), and Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM). Methods Thirty-six implementation scientists and 27 mental health professionals assigned 31 items to the constructs and rated their confidence in their assignments. The Wilcoxon one-sample signed rank test was used to assess substantive and discriminant content validity. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis (EFA and CFA) and Cronbach alphas were used to assess the validity of the conceptual model. Three hundred twenty-six mental health counselors read one of six randomly assigned vignettes depicting a therapist contemplating adopting an evidence-based practice (EBP). Participants used 15 items to rate the therapist’s perceptions of the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of adopting the EBP. CFA and Cronbach alphas were used to refine the scales, assess structural validity, and assess reliability. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to assess known-groups validity. Finally, half of the counselors were randomly assigned to receive the same vignette and the other half the opposite vignette; and all were asked to re-rate acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility. Pearson correlation coefficients were used to assess test-retest reliability and linear regression to assess sensitivity to change. Results All but five items exhibited substantive and discriminant content validity. A trimmed CFA with five items per construct exhibited acceptable model fit (CFI = 0.98, RMSEA = 0.08) and high factor loadings (0.79 to 0.94). The alphas for 5-item scales were between 0.87 and 0.89. Scale refinement based on measure-specific CFAs and Cronbach alphas using vignette data produced 4-item scales (α’s from 0.85 to 0.91). A three-factor CFA exhibited acceptable fit (CFI = 0.96, RMSEA = 0.08) and high factor loadings (0.75 to 0.89), indicating structural validity. ANOVA showed significant main effects, indicating known-groups validity. Test-retest reliability coefficients ranged from 0.73 to 0.88. Regression analysis indicated each measure was sensitive to change in both directions. Conclusions The AIM, IAM, and FIM demonstrate promising psychometric properties. Predictive validity assessment is planned.

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

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

Prototype Measurement System for the Eye-Hand Coordination Test of the Developmental Test of Visual Perception - Quiroga-Torres, Daniel Alejandro; Lara, Juan S.; Miguel-Cruz, Antonio; Ríos-Rincón, Adriana María (World Congress on Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering 2018, 2019)
The current version of the Developmental Test of Visual Perception (DTVP-3) is one of the most commonly used tests to identify the presence and degree of visual-perceptual and visual-integration deficits in children from 4 to 12 years of age. This test consists of five main sub-tests including a eye-hand coordination test (EHCT). Currently, the EHCT is based on observations by a therapist and requires a post-hoc analysis using the DTVP normative data, a time-consumption task that is not free of therapist error. Thus, a medical device is needed to automatically measure, score and report the test scores obtained from the DTVP-3. This device will lead to an overall decrease in the time taken for the post-hoc analysis and an improvement in the accuracy of the EHCT score. We determined that the device must allow a stylus position to be tracked in two dimensions with a resolution of 1 mm and the system must be small in size in order not to interfere with the test. In this study, we proposed a system based on Hall-effect technology sensors, which allows distances from the magnetic field magnitudes to be indirectlyestimated using small sensors. A first prototype consisted of a matrix array of sensors. A radial basis function was used to model the magnitude-distance response of each sensor. The model was estimated by using a multivariate linear regression, and it was found that the proposed model for 1 mm resolution tests, had an average r2 of 99%.

Prospects, Issues and Challenges of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Revamping Nigeria's Depressed Economy - Bolarina, Fehintola Fatimoh Bintu; Akinyele, Temitayo Abosede (International Journal of Vocational and Technical Education Research, 2018)
Nigeria aspires to become a major player in the world economy in line with her Vision 20-2020. To achieve this ambitious goal, the most crucial vehicle apart from power and infrastructure, is a skilled and competent workforce. This is necessary for the effective implementation of national development projects and for attracting necessary international investment by hi-tech industries. (NBTE, 2011). Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is used as a comprehensive term referring to those aspects of the educational process involving, in addition to general education, the study of technologies and related sciences, the acquisition of practical skills, attitudes, understanding and knowledge relating to occupations in various sectors of economic and social life (UNESCO and ILO 2001) In addition to technical knowledge and aptitude, TVET is also concerned with softer skills like communication, negotiation and teamwork. It is dispensed in public and private educational establishments or other forms of formal or informal instructor aimed at granting all segments of the society access to lifelong resources.

Proposal to the Spencer Foundation: Research Grants on Education: School’s Out For . . . Spring? Understanding the Response of School Districts in the United States to COVID-19-Related Disruptions - Rosenberg, Joshua; Rutherford, Teomara; Anderson, Daniel; White, Rachel S.; Nguyen, Ha; Kimmon, Royce (Open Science Framework, 2020)
There is no doubt that public education has suffered as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers are comparing the COVID slide to summer learning loss, noting this loss could be much worse for those already underserved by U.S. schools (Kuhfeld & Tarasawa, 2020). In order to understand who this loss impacts and how, we need data on school, district, and statewide responses to the pandemic as it unfolded. Luckily, these data are available, as school districts across the country updated their communities about plans for spring 2020. To capture these updates, our team uses multiple approaches for collecting COVID-19-related information via school district websites and social media to create a new, nationwide dataset of district responses.We also analyze how these responses relate to contextual characteristics of districts and their surrounding communities, which will provide a picture of how district characteristics may drive disparities in access to and quality of schooling during the pandemic. Identifying these associations are critical for understanding and disrupting the reproduction and deepening of educational inequality caused by the COVID-19 crisis. The resulting dataset will provide researchers with the information necessary to understand how education during the pandemic may impact students for years to come.

Promotion of PV Uptake and Sector Growth in Kenya through Value Added Training in PV Sizing, Installation and Maintenance - Simiyu, Justus; Waita, Sebastian; Musembi, Robinson; Ogacho, Alex; Aduda, Bernard (Energy Procedia, 2014)
Abstract Sub-Saharan Africa, and more specifically the East African region, has the lowest rates of access to electricity in the world. On average, at most 15% of the rural population has access to electricity. Rural households and remote institutions use traditional energy sources such as charcoal, firewood, kerosene and diesel for generator sets, batteries and dry cell batteries. On the other hand, the region is one of the most promising in the world in economic development with growth levels being high and market saturation is a far away future problem. This growth has however been hampered by several factors with lack of energy being one of them. Kenya being one of the countries in the region faces a similar problem with the traditional sources of hydro facing weather related challenges. The situation is more wanting in the rural setting having only achieved electrification rates of between 5 and 10%. The rural being where the majority of low-income earning groups reside is further compounded with large geographical imbalance in electricity demand and supply. The main challenge to adopting pv utilization however, is lack of local capacity to handle the uptake all the way from solar home systems to grid connected and hybrid systems. According to Kenya Renewable Energy Association (KEREA), it is estimated that between 800 and 1000 pv technicians have been in practice since this sector started in Kenya in the late eighties, majority of them having the basic skills but no formal training to provide the service. They however have been offering necessary service to end-users and are hence an important aspect in the pv sector as a whole. Currently the pv (mainly SHS) comprise an over the counter trade system which provides loopholes when it comes to quality of products and installation. To safeguard the quality and safety of installations, formal training has to be incorporated in the system.

Promoting the development of teacher professional knowledge: Integrating content and pedagogy in teacher education - Evens, Marie; Elen, Jan; Larmuseau, Charlotte; Depaepe, Fien (Teaching and Teacher Education, 2018)
The study investigates the explicit and integrated presentation of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), pedagogical knowledge (PK), and content knowledge (CK) in teacher education. We compare learning environments to study whether only presenting PK and CK is sufficient for PCK development, whether only presenting PCK is sufficient for PK and CK development, and whether PCK development is affected by integrating PCK, PK and CK. We find that only presenting two knowledge domains to students is insufficient to develop the third one, and integrating knowledge domains does not impact PCK development.

Promoting teachers’ implementation of culturally and contextually relevant class-wide behavior plans - Fallon, Lindsay M.; Cathcart, Sadie C.; DeFouw, Emily R.; O'Keeffe, Breda V.; Sugai, George (Psychology in the Schools, 2018)
Disproportionality in disciplinary actions for certain racial groups has been well documented for several decades. In an effort to support all students, specifically those who are culturally and linguistically diverse, many have called for adopting a multitiered system of support framework that is considerate of student culture and school context. This framework applies to supporting students’ learning and behavior across settings, particularly in the classroom. To bridge existing gaps between theory and practice, this empirical study sought to evaluate whether teachers who self-assessed their own use of culturally and contextually relevant practices would implement a class-wide behavior plan with high levels of implementation fidelity. Results indicated that teachers who engaged in self-assessment and training did implement the plan with high levels of implementation fidelity, particularly when given performance feedback. Additionally, students tended to display slightly higher rates of academic engagement upon consistent implementation of the plan.

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

Promoting effective Work Integrated Learning (WIL) and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) practices in the TVET sector through research - Nduna, Nothemba Joyce (2017)
There is a growing interest in increasing research capacity in South African public Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in general and in Universities of Technology (UoTs) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Colleges in particular. As part of its strategy to increase research capacity, the Education, Training and Development Practices Ϫ Sector Education and Training Authority (ETDP SETA) has established six Research Chairs in six public HEIs. This article introduces the work of the Research Chair for Work Integrated Learning (WIL) and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) that was established by the ETDP SETA in August 2015. The purpose of introducing the work of the Research Chair is to explore possibilities for research collaborations and partnerships with a variety of stakeholders at local, national and international levels. The article is divided into five sections. The first section is an introduction which provides the context, focus and purpose of the Research Chair. This section also highlights the need for research into WIL current practices and WIL staff development needs and advocates for the development of WIL related HEQSF qualifications in the TVET sector. The second section provides an overview of literature on WIL and RPL and relates the work of the Research Chair to the 2013 Policy on Professional Qualifications for lecturers in TVET and the 2015 Draft RPL Policy for the Higher Education Qualifications Sub-Framework (HEQSF). The third section deals with the research methodology that covers the research questions, intended outcomes and data collection processes that were involved. The fourth section discusses the research findings and enabling factors for the Research Chair. The final section provides a summary of the findings and calls for research collaborations.

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

Proliferation of Papers and Preprints During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic: Progress or Problems With Peer Review? - Vlasschaert, Caitlyn; Topf, Joel M.; Hiremath, Swapnil (Advances in Chronic Kidney Disease, 2020)
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has spread exponentially throughout the world in a short period, aided by our hyperconnected world including global trade and travel. Unlike previous pandemics, the pace of the spread of the virus has been matched by the pace of publications, not just in traditional journals, but also in preprint servers. Not all publication findings are true, and sifting through the firehose of data has been challenging to peer reviewers, editors, as well as to consumers of the literature, that is, scientists, healthcare workers, and the general public. There has been an equally exponential rise in the public discussion on social media. Rather than decry the pace of change, we suggest the nephrology community should embrace it, making deposition of research into preprint servers the default, encouraging prepublication peer review more widely of such preprint studies, and harnessing social media tools to make these actions easier and seamless.

Projecting the potential impacts of COVID-19 school closures on academic achievement - Kuhfeld, Megan; Soland, James; Tarasawa, Beth; Johnson, Angela; Ruzek, Erik; Liu, Jing (2020)
With 55 million students in the United States out of school due to the COVID-19 pandemic, education systems are scrambling to meet the needs of schools and families, including planning how best to approach instruction in the fall given students may be farther behind than in a typical year. Yet, education leaders have little data on how much learning has been impacted by school closures. While the COVID-19 learning interruptions are unprecedented in modern times, existing research on the impacts of missing school (due to absenteeism, regular summer breaks, and school closures) on learning can nonetheless inform projections of potential learning loss due to the pandemic. In this study, we produce a series of projections of COVID-19-related learning loss and its potential effect on test scores in the 2020-21 school year based on (a) estimates from prior literature and (b) analyses of typical summer learning patterns of five million students. Under these projections, students are likely to return in fall 2020 with approximately 63-68% of the learning gains in reading relative to a typical school year and with 37-50% of the learning gains in math. However, we estimate that losing ground during the COVID-19 school closures would not be universal, with the top third of students potentially making gains in reading. Thus, in preparing for fall 2020, educators will likely need to consider ways to support students who are academically behind and further differentiate instruction.

Progress Towards Meaningful Women’s Participation in Conflict Prevention and Peacebuilding Decision-making - Lenhardt, Amanda (2021)
The Women, Peace and Security or Gender Peace and Security (WPS/GPS) agenda has expanded significantly over the 20+ years of concerted efforts at many levels to expand the role of women in conflict resolution and peacebuilding. Yet many authors note that the expansion of international agreements and national plans to support greater women’s participation in decision-making have yet to translate into concrete changes. This report examines progress in promoting women’s meaningful participation in decision making processes in conflict prevention and peacebuilding, with a focus on changes since 2018. Evidence on women’s meaningful participation in decision-making tends to focus on a small range of measurable outcomes with some studies considering the outcomes of women’s involvement in those processes to determine the extent to which they might be ‘meaningful’. Few studies examine differential outcomes of such initiatives for different groups of women, and most data does not allow for the disaggregation of intersecting identities between gender, ethnicity, race, disability, migration status and other key factors. Evidence collected for this report suggests that policies and programmes seeking to support greater women’s participation in decision-making in conflict prevention and peacebuilding often struggle to address the broader structural factors that inhibit women’s empowerment. Tackling longstanding and often deeply embedded harmful social norms has proven challenging across sectors, and in conflict or post-conflict settings with highly complex social dynamics, this can be especially difficult. Many of the issues highlighted in the literature as hindering progress on the WPS agenda relate to cross-cutting issues at the heart of gender inequality. Multiple authors from within women’s movements in conflict and post-conflict settings emphasise the need for policies and programmes that support women to act as agents of change in their own communities and which amplify their voices rather than speak on their behalf. Recent achievements in South Sudan and the Pacific region are indicative of the potential of women’s movements to affect change in conflict prevention and peacebuilding and suggest progress is being made in some areas, though gender equality in these processes may be a long way off.

Programmes to Support Foundational Learning in South Asia - Fitzpatrick, Rachel (2022)
Despite great achievements in improving school enrolment and completion levels in South Asia, a high proportion of learners continue to live in learning poverty, with approximately 50 per cent of learners unable to read or understand a simple text by age ten (UNICEF, 2021). Learning levels were severely impacted by large scale school closures as a result of Covid-19, with approximately 434 million learners impacted in the region (UNICEF, 2021). Improving foundational learning outcomes, particularly for the most marginalised, is a key policy priority for many South Asian countries. This report draws together learning from seven programmes in South Asia aimed at improving foundational learning, to provide insight into effective approaches that have previously or continue to have an impact on foundational learning levels.

Professional learning with ICT in the southern African context: The UNISA-Cambridge collaboration on Advanced Diplomas in Education. - Hennessy, S.; Dreyer, J.; Paulsen, R.; Haßler, Björn; Loubser, C.; Beardon, T.; Mays, T. (Prezi, 2014)
It is clear from the recent 2013 conference of the Distance Education Teachers’ Association hosted at the University of Nairobi that an increasing number of the developing countries of Africa are exploiting the potential of distance and school-based learning for the development of more and better teachers in pursuit of agendas informed by the EFA mandate and the MDGs. This requires access in turn to more and better resources that can help new teachers to conceptualise their emerging practice and also help existing teachers to think about how they might need to adapt their current practices to develop the knowledge and skills necessary for success in an increasingly information rich global knowledge society made possible through increasingly accessible and aff ordable ICT. This presentation off ers insights into how both distance teacher education and schooling itself can be revolutionised through exploiting powerful new technologies and harnessing the potential of OER. We report on the progress of a collaboration between UNISA and the Centre for Commonwealth Education (University of Cambridge, UK), on the new Advanced Diplomas in Education (ADEs). The ADE is a new qualifi cation in the South African national qualifi cations framework that was introduced as part of a comprehensive national review of minimum requirements for teacher education [3]; these place increased emphasis on the teacher’s role as a knowledge worker encompassing disciplinary, pedagogic, fundamental and contextual learning. The ADE is targeted at qualifi ed teachers who wish to deepen their understanding of the teaching of particular subjects in particular phases. Drawing on the resources, networks and expertise of UNISA, AIMSSEC and the OER4Schools project, we seek to develop new ADE qualifi cations for mathematics and science. Specifi c examples include modules on Shape and Space, the Earth and Beyond, and Biodiversity. The ADEs: • provide students with a deeper understanding of pedagogical subject knowledge for eff ective and inclusive teaching in diverse contexts, • concretely apply pedagogical theories and action research within their teaching, • demonstrate competence in subject teaching through problem solving, • develop the ability to teach subjects drawing on a coherent, deep conceptual understanding, of both subjects and subject pedagogy, • broaden teaching and learning horizons by using appropriate technology/ICT eff ectively, and • increase understanding of the role of the various subjects (such as science, mathematics, technology) in society

Professional Learning Communities: A Review of the Literature - Stoll, Louise; Bolam, Ray; McMahon, Agnes; Wallace, Mike; Thomas, Sally (Journal of Educational Change, 2006)
International evidence suggests that educational reform’s progress depends on teachers’ individual and collective capacity and its link with school-wide capacity for promoting pupils’ learning. Building capacity is therefore critical. Capacity is a complex blend of motivation, skill, positive learning, organisational conditions and culture, and infrastructure of support. Put together, it gives individuals, groups, whole school communities and school systems the power to get involved in and sustain learning over time. Developing professional learning communities appears to hold considerable promise for capacity building for sustainable improvement. As such, it has become a ‘hot topic’ in many countries.

Professional Learning Communities - A Guideline for South African Schools - VVOB (VVOB, 2015)
The Department of Basic Education, with the support of VVOB, and with input from a wide range of stakeholders, developed a practical guideline on implementing PLCs in schools. The Integrated Strategic Framework for Teacher Professional Development (ISPFTED) foresees the nation-wide implementation of Professional Learning Communities by 2017. PLCs are put forward as a central instrument to strengthen teachers’ professional development. During a colloquium held in September 2014 a wide range of speakers from academia, government, unions and subject associations provided input on international and local research, local experiences and various initiatives on PLCs. The participants also provided feedback on two draft documents: a policy document on subject committees and PLCs and a practical guideline on implementing PLCs.

Professional Development Research: Consensus, Crossroads, and Challenges - Hill, Heather C.; Beisiegel, Mary; Jacob, Robin (Educational Researcher, 2013)
Commentaries regarding appropriate methods for researching professional development have been a frequent topic in recent issues of Educational Researcher as well as other venues. In this article, the authors extend this discussion by observing that randomized trials of specific professional development programs have not enhanced our knowledge of effective program characteristics, leaving practitioners without guidance with regard to best practices. In response, the authors propose that scholars should execute more rigorous comparisons of professional development designs at the initial stages of program development and use information derived from these studies to build a professional knowledge base. The authors illustrate with examples of both a proposed study and reviews of evidence on key questions in the literature.
