What works to improve teacher attendance in developing countries? A systematic review - Guerrero, Gabriela; Leon, Juan; Zapata, Mayli; Sugimaru, Claudia; Cueto, Santiago (2012)
Previous studies have found national averages of teacher absenteeism in developing countries that range from 3 percent to 27 percent. However, within countries absenteeism is larger in poorer, more isolated schools, contributing to unequal educational opportunities. The purpose of this paper is to report on a systematic review of research on the effectiveness of interventions aimed at increasing teacher attendance in developing countries, as measured by the rate of teacher attendance. Whenever data are available we also estimate the impact of these programmes on student achievement.

Uncertain aspirations for continuing in education: Antecedents and associated outcomes - Gutman, Leslie Morrison; Schoon, Ingrid; Sabates, Ricardo (Developmental Psychology, 2012)
[Correction Notice: An Erratum for this article was reported in Vol 48(6) of Developmental Psychology (see record 2012-13008-001). There is an error in the last line of Table 2. It should read “Uncertain Aspirations → Enrollment at 18.”] Relatively little is known about adolescents who hold uncertain aspirations, that is, those who do not know what they would like to do in the future regarding their educational or occupational plans. Drawing upon the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England born in 1989–1990, the authors tested a pathway model to investigate the antecedents of uncertain aspirations for continuing in education past compulsory schooling age (i.e., 16 years) and associated later educational outcomes. Gender differences in the pathways are also tested. Findings indicate that the relationship linking socioeconomic status to uncertain aspirations is mediated through parents' educational expectations and the relationship linking academic performance at age 11 to uncertain aspirations is mediated through parents' educational expectations and adolescents' self-perceived ability, which, in turn, predict academic performance at age 16 and educational enrollment at age 18. Gender differences in these processes are also evident: young males not only hold greater uncertainty about continuing in education, the consequences of uncertainty regarding later academic performance are worse for males than females.

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.

Teachers' perceptions on academic recovery through educational therapy: A therapeutic intervention in three co-educational government schools in North Trinidad - Henry-Legall, Lisa-Marcella (University of the West Indies, 2012)
This study introduced the notion of academic recovery through an alternative pedagogical practice of therapeutic intervention called Educational Therapy. As such, its purpose was not only to explore and evaluate an alternative educational practice but also to determine its feasibility in adapting to the local context. This was done using teachers’ perspectives from three co-educational secondary schools whose students had a history of academic underachievement and where violence and student aggression were becoming the norm. Twenty three English and Mathematics teachers participated in the study which was encased in an ethnography theoretical perspective. Their perspectives on the current state of the secondary sector brought bearing to the types of best practices that teachers in their departments subscribed to in terms of teaching, understanding how children learn, assessment strategies and accommodating students who have learning deficits in the regular classroom. In addition, it clarified their stance on the adaptation of therapeutic intervention in Trinidad and Tobago while determining the extent to which it could improve academic achievement in these subject disciplines. Findings from the study revealed that teachers needed assistance to effectively manage, teach and assess children with learning problems. They felt that there was an urgent need to implement therapeutic interventions in educational practice as they had no knowledge of how to deal with students who had underlying cognitive deficits which then became manifested in the forms of social, emotional and behavioural problems. As the study was steeped within a qualitative inquiry, its findings also noted the emergence of eight themes which described the factors believed to be responsible for the present crisis within secondary schools where indiscipline was concerned. The framework of this study thus provided a useful basis for identifying school discipline issues and children who may have learning problems and for suggesting plans for appropriately targeted interventions through Educational Therapy.

An assessment of employability skills among technical and vocational education students in Nigeria - Idris, A; Rajuddin, MR (Archives Des Science, 2012)
The research was conducted to investigate the level of importance as well as the competence among the students of technical and vocational education in terms of employability skills in Nigeria. There are 233 final year students that constituted the sample for the study in Kano State. The respondents were picked from mechanical, electronic, electrical installation and automobile departments in technical colleges in the state. The data was collected using questionnaire which was adapted from Employability skills for Australian small and medium sized enterprises. The analysis was done using descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation. The findings of the study showed that all the respondents perceived the employability skills components as high and rated their competency as low. A significant difference was found among the students in terms of their ages while no significant difference was found between the respondents in the area of competency. The study concludes that there is still an opportunity for technical and vocational institution in Nigeria to focus and redouble efforts towards equipping the students’ employability skills. Quality education and training enhances productivity, therefore, students of technical and vocational education in Nigeria need a better education that will help in accomplish the national goals.

Assessing the Impact of Training on Lowland Rice Productivity in an African Setting: Evidence from Uganda - Kijima, Yoko; Ito, Yukinori; Otsuka, Keijiro (World Development, 2012)
Summary This study attempts to assess the impacts of a training program on the adoption of improved cultivation practices, the productivity of rice farming, and the income and profit from rice production by using ex-post non-experimental data in Uganda. We found that participation in the training program increased the adoption of the improved cultivation practices. Furthermore, the profit from rice production was also found to have increased by the training program. These findings support the hypothesis that one of the major constraints on the growth in productivity of rice farming in sub-Saharan Africa is the absence of effective extension systems.

Often oriented by default, students enrolled in vocational education are characterized by a lack of professional project for the future job. This lack creates an insufficient engagement in their studies. In this context, we present and illustrate an original formative practice that considers a special form of relationship to knowledge and to school in order to further their chances of professional and social integration. To do so, relying on interviews, we meet the views of teachers and students.

How Can Micro and Small Enterprises in Sub-Saharan Africa Become More Productive? The Impacts of Experimental Basic Managerial Training - Mano, Yukichi; Iddrisu, Alhassan; Yoshino, Yutaka; Sonobe, Tetsushi (World Development, 2012)
Summary The vast majority of micro and small enterprises (MSEs) in developing countries are located in industrial clusters, and the majority of such clusters have yet to see their growth take off. The performance of MSE clusters is especially low in Sub-Saharan Africa. While existing studies often attribute the poor performance to factors outside firms, problems within firms are seldom scrutinized. In fact, entrepreneurs in these clusters are unfamiliar with standard business practices. Based on a randomized experiment in Ghana, this study demonstrates that basic-level management training improves business practices and performance.

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

A Critical Review of Vocational Education and Training Research in 2012 and Suggestions for the Research Agenda - Mulder, Martin; Roelofs, Eline (2012)
This paper is a follow-up of the paper ECER-presented in 2012, ‘A Critical Review of Vocational Education and Training Research and Suggestions for the Research Agenda’ (Author & Co-author, 2012). This paper gave a description of research in the field of Vocational Education and Training (VET) in 2011. This new paper gives an overview of the field of VET research in 2012. In this article the VET research presented at the European Conference of Educational Research 2012 (Cádiz) is reviewed, as well as the articles of a number of VET research journals of publication year 2012. A total of 173 articles are reviewed and after a qualitative interpretation divided into seven different research themes. The conclusions of the review are quite similar to last year. 1. There is a lot of VET research and this research is quite diverse and fragmented. 2. The quality of the articles is not always very high, also because a lot of conference proceedings are included. 3. There are many important topics for further research.

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

Parental aspirations for their children’s educational attainment and the realisation of universal primary education (UPE) in Kenya: Evidence from slum and non-slum residences - Oketch, Mutisya, M., Sagwe, J., , M. (2012)
There is a sound research base attesting to the importance of parental involvement and to the many potential benefits it can offer for children's education. This study sought to examine differences in parental aspirations (as a mechanism of parental involvement in their children's education) for their children's educational attainment between slum and non-slum residing parents in Kenya. The study used cross-sectional household data for a sample of 4065 parents, collected in 2007 by the African Population and Health Research Centre (APHRC) in Nairobi. A multinomial logistic model was used for the analysis to explore the factors determining parental aspirations. The results indicate the following: (i) that parents who live in the slums have lower aspirations for their children's educational attainment when compared to those who live in non-slum areas; (ii) that parents in the slums have aspirations for higher levels of educational attainment for their children than their own levels of education. We conclude that parents in urban Kenya have a strong belief in the education of their children irrespective of their slum or non-slum residence but aspirations are higher in non-slums than in slums. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

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

Teacher-Student Relationships and Engagement: Conceptualizing, Measuring, and Improving the Capacity of Classroom Interactions - Pianta, Robert C.; Hamre, Bridget K.; Allen, Joseph P. (Handbook of Research on Student Engagement, 2012)
Classrooms are complex social systems, and student-teacher relationships and interactions are also complex, multicomponent systems. We posit that the nature and quality of relationship interactions between teachers and students are fundamental to understanding student engagement, can be assessed through standardized observation methods, and can be changed by providing teachers knowledge about developmental processes relevant for classroom interactions and personalized feedback/support about their interactive behaviors and cues. When these supports are provided to teachers’ interactions, student engagement increases. In this chapter, we focus on the theoretical and empirical links between interactions and engagement and present an approach to intervention designed to increase the quality of such interactions and, in turn, increase student engagement and, ultimately, learning and development. Recognizing general principles of development in complex systems, a theory of the classroom as a setting for development, and a theory of change specific to this social setting are the ultimate goals of this work. Engagement, in this context, is both an outcome in its own right and a mediator of impacts that teachers have on student outcomes through their interactions with children and youth. In light of this discussion, we offer suggestions or directions for further research in this area.

Feasibility of training Zambian nurse–midwives to perform postplacental and postpartum insertions of intrauterine devices - Prager, Sarah; Gupta, Pratima; Chilambwe, Jully; Vwalika, Bellington; Neukom, Josselyn; Siamwanza, Nomsa; Eber, Maxine; Blumenthal, Paul D. (International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 2012)
Abstract ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility of competency-based training of Zambian nurse–midwives in postplacental and postpartum intrauterine device (PPIUD) insertion and to estimate learning curves for this procedure. MethodsA pilot service-delivery project was conducted, involving 9 nurse–midwives who participated in a 10-day PPIUD insertion training course at the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia. US and Zambian clinicians taught the didactic and practical curriculum. Checklists were used for standardization and a pelvic model was developed to achieve PPIUD insertion competency in the classroom before moving to clinical practice. Patients were recruited during prenatal visits, in early labor, and postpartum. Informed, voluntary consent was obtained. All clinical PPIUD insertions were supervised or performed by experienced trainers. ResultsAll 9 nurse–midwives achieved competency on the pelvic model after 3 attempts. During the training period, 38 PPIUDs were inserted in postpartum women; no complications occurred. By the end of training, 4 of the nurse–midwives were deemed competent to independently insert PPIUDs. On average, 4 PPIUD insertions were needed to achieve clinical competency. ConclusionsConcentrated, competency-based training in PPIUD insertion is feasible in an African setting. Replication of such training could increase the popularity and prevalence of PPIUD use among African women.

Preparing Teachers and Developing School Leaders for the 21st Century: Lessons from around the World - Schleicher, Andreas (OECD Publishing, 2012)
Results from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development's (OECD's) Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) have shown that the degree to which education systems succeed in equipping students with important foundation skills varies significantly. Since the quality of teaching is at the heart of student learning outcomes, it is an appealing idea to bring together education leaders from high performing and rapidly improving education systems to explore to what extent educational success and some of the policies related to success transcend the specific characteristics of cultures and countries. To this end, in March 2012 the second "International Summit on the Teaching Profession" was held in New York, hosted by the U.S. Department of Education, the OECD and Education International. The Summit brought together education ministers, union leaders and other teacher leaders from high-performing and rapidly improving education systems, as measured by PISA, to review how to best improve the quality of teaching, teachers and school leaders. This publication underpinned the Summit with available research about what can make educational reforms effective, and highlights examples of reforms that have produced specific results, show promise or illustrate imaginative ways of implementing change. The Summit was organized around three interconnected themes: (1) Developing Effective School Leaders; (2) Preparing Teachers to Deliver 21st-Century Skills; and (3) Matching Teacher Demand and Supply. Selected comparative data on education from OECD sources are annexed. Individual chapters contain references and notes. (Contains 37 figures and 35 boxes.)

Traditional apprenticeship in Ghana and Senegal: Skills development for youth for the informal sector - Sonnenberg, K (Journal of International Cooperation in Education, 2012)
The demographic youth bulge, representing large cohorts of youth, coupled with lack of pathways to education and employment and therefore social mobility, have become issues of great concern. As a result, youth employment and technical and vocational skills development have grown in prominence on international and national agendas in recent years. However, skills development strategies often overlook the informal sector despite the fact that in developing countries, income-generating activities in the informal sector often far exceed those of the formal sector. UNESCO’s 2012 EFA Global Monitoring Report on youth skills development states that traditional apprenticeships are an important way of acquiring transferable and job-specific skills, particularly for the informal sector. An extensive review of the literature of Ghana and Senegal reveals that these two countries have long histories of traditional apprenticeship and that these forms of skills training reach more youth than formal technical and vocational training. This paper examines the approaches these two countries’ governments have taken to increase access to and quality of non-formal skills training opportunities. Despite a lack of data on the long-term outcomes of these initiatives, programs and reforms, several important implications arise from these countries’ experiences. These implications are discussed as well as areas for future research.

Transforming education for girls in Tanzania and Nigeria: Cross country analysis of endline research studies - Unterhalter, Elaine; Heslop, Jo (ActionAid, 2012)
This cross country summary of the findings from the endline study conducted for the TEGINT project highlights a number of issues of particular pertinence to the community of policy makers, practitioners, and researchers concerned with gender equality, rights and girls’ education. Firstly, the considerable expansion of education provision at primary and junior secondary levels enhances girls’ enrolment, attendance, progression, attainment and empowerment. However, there are regional and locational differences, and the effects of the emergence of private schools on gender equality and girls’ empowerment merits careful scrutiny. It is a matter of concern, that despite the introduction of free primary education, schools continue to charge levies and that the costs of improving education are being passed down to the poorest. Secondly, there are clear indications that girls’ clubs give an important space for girls to learn about their rights and confidence to articulate solutions to their problems. This is the case both when girls in clubs come from higher performing girls in terms of class position and more marginalised girls. Thus girls clubs, widely used in many projects throughout Africa, but not till now well evaluated, appear an important strategy to continue to support. Thirdly, rurality appears as a particular condition of marginalisation, associated with higher levels of gender inequality. This is evident from the lower levels of girls’ empowerment in rural schools, and differences in articulating solutions. Thus particularly engaged interventions are needed with girls in remote areas to support empowerment. Fourthly, while improving teacher qualifications and engagement with gender equality is a necessary condition for enhancing education rights for all children, this is not a standalone intervention, and needs to be supported by other initiatives, possibly associated with teachers’ pay, work conditions and status. Fifthly, an intervention like TEGINT, appears particularly useful in helping to break the silence around gender based violence, however, such an intervention cannot be seen in isolation from work on other aspects of gender inequalities, poverty, and limited social provision. In a country like Tanzania, where there is more legislation and political action around gender equality than in Nigeria, girls, even the poorest, appear more knowledgeable about rights. Gender equality and girls’ education cannot thus be separated from other initiatives on rights, social development and addressing injustice.

Sustainable green energy production from agricultural and poultry operations-A renewable energy project for community empowerment and vocational training in remote villages in South Africa - Ushimaru, Kenji (INEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference, 2012)
The development of an innovative waste-to-energy plant in rural South Africa is now underway. A plan to construct a test unit that uses chicken droppings from a nearby chicken farm as a fuel source is presented. This waste-to-energy plant offers an opportunity to provide economic development and community empowerment. The system is based on two critical components: (1) a power generation plant which uses chicken droppings as a fuel source, and (2) a waste processing unit that is based on magnetic induction heating technology. The ultimate goal of the power plant is to utilize it as a vocational training tool to teach young people of the community to become power plant technicians, a vocational option that has never been available in rural African communities until now. © 2012 IEEE.

Low Cost Mobile Phones for Large Scale Teacher - Walsh, Christopher S; Shaheen, Robina; Power, Tom; Hedges, Claire; Kahtoon, Masuda; Mondol, Sikander (2012)
Education has the power to transform societies and contribute to social and economic development. In this paper we present the mobile technologies used for teacher professional development (TPD) and communicative language teaching in English in Action (EIA). The project aims to assist 25 million people access greater social and economic opportunities through English language teaching and TPD. EIA, in partnership with the Government of Bangladesh, will work with 80,000 teachers through a work-based programme of TPD using audio and visual resources on low cost mobile phones. With access to over 700 audio files aligned with the national textbook English for Today and professional development films that explain and then illustrate successful student-centred English teaching and learning, the project has already documented significant improvement in teachers’ and pupils’ English language competency. This paper provides an account of, and rationale for, the changes in the technologies used across two phases of the project, from the iPod Nano and Touch used in the pilot study with 690 teachers (2009-2010) to the low cost Nokia C1-01 mobile phone with a micro secure digital (SD) being used in upscaling to 12,500 teachers (2012-2014). We argue the low cost alphanumeric mobile phone with micro SD cards provides unprecedented opportunities to both deliver TPD and improve teachers’ and students’ communicative English language skills. The paper considers the unique suitability mobile phones present for resource constrained education systems in developing countries. Simultaneously we highlight the need for further application and research into the use of mobile technologies, not only for large-scale TPD projects, but for a diversity of international development projects and programmes which aim to achieve sustainable change at scale.

iPadiCan: Trialling iPads to support primary and secondary students with disabilities - Watts, Liz; Brennan, Sharon; Phelps, Renata (Australian Educational Computing, 2012)
iPads have only been on the market since April 2010 but have rapidly gained great attention within educational communities. While their potential to support teaching and learning has been advocated by many, as yet little empirical research has been released on their application in primary and secondary classrooms. This paper reports on an action research study which investigated the possible role of iPads in supporting learning for students with disabilities. The project sought to document the practical steps required to implement iPads in classrooms, the applications which might be most educationally effective, together with the perceptions of students, teachers, parents and teaching assistants (TAs). The study provides evidence of the significant potential of the devices for children with a wide range of disabilities and, through a number of brief vignettes, demonstrates their capacity to support both learning and socialisation.

Global economic crisis: A challenge to the entrepreneurship development of technical vocational education and training in oil and gas sector of the Nigerian Economy - Wodi, SW (International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences, 2012)
The paper attempts to evaluate the Global economic crisis and the challenges to entrepreneurship development of technical vocational education and training in oil and Gas sector of the Nigerian economy. Effects of the global melt down in the economies of developed countries of the world and its chain-link action has gradually enveloped the entire world economy. This development impacted negatively on the Nigerian economy coupled with the Niger delta crisis that has drastically affected oil and gas production and development of new fields with its attendant consequences. Accordingly, vocational and technical education institutions that undertake training of technicians in such enterprise as welders, electricians, pipe fitters including safety experts were affected as a result of global melt down, constraining the oil and gas companies from engaging the services of Technical Vocational Education and Training Professionals (TVET) in the energy sector.

You use! I use! We use! Questioning the Orthodoxy of One-to-One Computing in Primary Schools - Larkin, Kevin (Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2011)
The current orthodoxy regarding computer use in schools appears to be that one-to-one (1:1) computing, wherein each child owns or has sole access to a computing device, is the most efficacious way to achieve a range of desirable educational outcomes, including individualised learning, collaborative environments, or constructivist pedagogies. This article challenges this notion, suggesting instead that 1:2 computing is an appropriate means of achieving such aims in primary school. It further suggests that 1:2 computing is preferable to 1:1 computing to achieve a balance between productivity, student engagement, social activity, and individualised learning. This article draws on data collected during the 2009 school year from four Year 7 classrooms (11- to 13-year-old students) with varied patterns of access to netbook computers. The researcher collected detailed information from two pieces of software installed in each computer and analysed the data through an Activity Theory conceptual and methodological lens. Recommendations from this research will assist school leaders in making informed decisions regarding 1:1 and 1:2 computing.

Organizing Research and Development at the Intersection of Learning, Implementation, and Design - Penuel, William R.; Fishman, Barry J.; Haugan Cheng, Britte; Sabelli, Nora (Educational Researcher, 2011)
This article describes elements of an approach to research and development called design-based implementation research. The approach represents an expansion of design research, which typically focuses on classrooms, to include development and testing of innovations that foster alignment and coordination of supports for improving teaching and learning. As in policy research,implementation is a key focus of theoretical development and analysis. What distinguishes this approach from both traditional design research and policy research is the presence of four key elements: (a) a focus on persistent problems of practice from multiple stakeholders’ perspectives; (b) a commitment to iterative, collaborative design; (c) a concern with developing theory related to both classroom learning and implementation through systematic inquiry; and (d) a concern with developing capacity for sustaining change in systems.

Developing a systemic approach to teacher education in sub-Saharan Africa: emerging lessons from Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda - Hardman, Frank; Ackers, Jim; Abrishamian, Niki; O’Sullivan, Margo (Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, 2011)
While many countries in Eastern and Southern Africa are on track for meeting the Education for All targets, there is a growing recognition of the need to improve the quality of basic education and that a focus on pedagogy and its training implications needs to be at the heart of this commitment. By drawing on three East African countries, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, which are at different stages of development with regard to the reforming of teacher education, this paper explores the challenges and the lessons learned from each of the countries with regard to the development and strengthening of pre- and in-service training. The tension between quality, breadth and cost-effectiveness is explored together with a broader discussion of key principles to be taken into account when enhancing teacher education in the region as a whole.

Mechanism Experiments and Policy Evaluations - Ludwig, Jens; Kling, Jeffrey R.; Mullainathan, Sendhil (Journal of Economic Perspectives, 2011)
Randomized controlled trials are increasingly used to evaluate policies. How can we make these experiments as useful as possible for policy purposes? We argue greater use should be made of experiments that identify the behavioral mechanisms that are central to clearly specified policy questions, what we call "mechanism experiments." These types of experiments can be of great policy value even if the intervention that is tested (or its setting) does not correspond exactly to any realistic policy option.

Learner-centred education in developing country contexts: From solution to problem? - Schweisfurth, Michele (International Journal of Educational Development, 2011)
Learner-centred education (LCE) has been a recurrent theme in many national education policies in the global South, and has had wide donor support through aid programmes and smaller projects and localised innovations. However, the history of the implementation of LCE in different contexts is riddled with stories of failures grand and small. In coming to understand how LCE has been conceived, researched, and reported in relation to developing country contexts, a good starting point is the International Journal of Educational Development (IJED), where a wide range of articles on this theme has been published over the years. In all, 72 relevant articles were identified among the issues available on-line, comprising a weighty body of evidence concerning the nature and implementation of LCE. The vast majority are studies exploring the issues – and problems – of implementation of LCE-based programmes in particular settings. Emerging from these investigations is a variety of explanations for this perennial challenge: problems with the nature of reform and its implementation; barriers of material and human resources; interactions of divergent cultures; and the all-important questions of power and agency in the process. After a descriptive breakdown of the 72 articles, each of these implementation issues is explored in turn. The article considers the implications of this for future initiatives, research and scholarship in this area. The begged questions are: why do the same problems recur repeatedly, and how do we move beyond the normative ‘shoulds’ and the practical ‘can’ts’?

Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions - Higgins, Julian P. T.; Green, Sally (John Wiley & Sons, 2011)
Healthcare providers, consumers, researchers and policy makers are inundated with unmanageable amounts of information, including evidence from healthcare research. It has become impossible for all to have the time and resources to find, appraise and interpret this evidence and incorporate it into healthcare decisions. Cochrane Reviews respond to this challenge by identifying, appraising and synthesizing research-based evidence and presenting it in a standardized format, published in The Cochrane Library (www.thecochranelibrary.com). The Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions contains methodological guidance for the preparation and maintenance of Cochrane intervention reviews. Written in a clear and accessible format, it is the essential manual for all those preparing, maintaining and reading Cochrane reviews. Many of the principles and methods described here are appropriate for systematic reviews applied to other types of research and to systematic reviews of interventions undertaken by others. It is hoped therefore that this book will be invaluable to all those who want to understand the role of systematic reviews, critically appraise published reviews or perform reviews themselves.

Early Occupational Aspirations and Fractured Transitions: A Study of Entry into ‘NEET’ Status in the UK - Yates, Scott; Harris, Angel; Sabates, Ricardo; Staff, Jeremy (Journal of Social Policy, 2011)
There has been significant recent research and policy interest in issues of young people's occupational aspirations, transitions to employment and the antecedents of NEET (not in employment, education or training) status. Many have argued that changes to the youth labour market over the past 30 years have led to transitions to work becoming more individualised, complex and troublesome for many, particularly those from poorer backgrounds. However, little research has examined the connection between early uncertainty or misalignment in occupational aspirations and entry into NEET status. This paper draws on the British Cohort Study to investigate these issues, and finds that young people with uncertain occupational aspirations or ones misaligned with their educational expectations are considerably more likely to become NEET by age 18. Uncertainty and misalignment are both more widespread and more detrimental for those from poorer backgrounds. These findings are discussed in the context of recent research and debates on emerging adulthood and the youth labour market.

Building capacity of teachers and trainers in technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in Sudan (Case of Khartoum State University). - Ahmed, Hashim (Technische Universität Dresden, 2011)
The purpose of this research was to do applied study to investigate TVET teacher education in Sudan in a bid to rebuild and raise the capacity of the teachers and trainers who are working in the technical schools and vocational training centers in Khartoum state, and to generalize the overall results throughout the Sudan. Specifically, many research questions were addressed to target the main purpose of the study: To what extent the practical components of curriculum are applied in and outside TVET institutions? To what extent the in-service training’s programs meet the professional development of teachers and trainers? Is the private sector contributes to the training programs? Which approaches could be implemented to improve the teacher training? To what extent the integration of ICTs in learning and teaching process improves competence of TVET teachers? Is there re-training program for old teachers? Is there need to train teacher in private sector workshop? Moreover: the following concepts are relevant to raising the capacity building of teachers are studied: teacher professional development, capacity building, integration of suitable level of information and communication technology (ICT) to teacher education and the connectivity of training process to world of work. In order to collect convenient information, the study used the questionnaire and interview as instruments to achieve the objectives of the research. The main population of the study is teachers, trainers, administrators and employers. With respect to data analysis, the study used the SPSS program and the Chi-square to test some hypotheses. The results of the study showed that essential innovations and reforms on the initial and in service training programs should be done especially, respect to practical components of the initial and in-service training to reach the professional development for teachers. Since most of interviewees confirmed old curricula of the initial education of teacher and there was no retraining program for the teacher on the job: the linkage of the training to world of work is needed to keep the teacher up-to date. Integration of ICT into learning/teaching process is very important factor because it’s one of the modernization requirements; hence if we do not do this now it should be urgent necessity at the near future. Major result of the study the proposed training approach for TVET teachers in Sudan, whereas implementation of this approach depends on three levels: macro- level the political commitment by undertaking ii clear national policy and conceptual framework for technical and vocational education and improving the image of teachers, their work conditions and media involvement. Meso level:(public and private sector): since a moral contribution towards training of TVET teachers should be realized, by providing real opportunity to make a success to this new training approach by means of offering technical support, technical consultation, advanced knowledge, specialized seminars and contributing of all training policies especially the financial cost. Micro-level (TVET institutions): there is vital role of administrators to play to attract best candidates not only students of low grades to TVET domain. For example, integrate simple level technology into curricula. Improve initial and in-service training programs based on training needs assessment. Create good internship, and improving the work environment and incentives for teachers

The Sierra Leone Teachers Union: Labor in a Post-Conflict Society - Amman, John; O'Donnell, James (WorkingUSA, 2011)
The Sierra Leone Teachers Union (SLTU) has long played an important role in the country's education system and its labor movement. With more than 30,000 members, the SLTU is the largest and perhaps the most powerful union in Sierra Leone today. Nonetheless, the union struggles with challenges unheard of in developed countries. It represents teachers in an education system that was ravished by its eleven-year civil war (1991 to 2002). Not only are working conditions extremely difficult for teachers (classroom overcrowding, lack of educational materials, low pay, and often late pay), the union must negotiate union agreements with the Ministry of Education, which itself has no direct influence on the nation's coffers. Sierra Leone's Ministry of Finance and more importantly, the International Monetary Fund set policies that directly impact the quality of Sierra Leone's education system and its teachers.

Industrial training in Ghana: perceptions of the undergraduate construction student - Ayarkwa, J; Adinyira, E; Agyekum, K (2011)
The recent oil discovery and processing in Ghana is expected to result in growth of infrastructural development and increased chances of construction graduates to secure jobs. Universities hold the responsibility of producing graduates with sufficient background and excellent qualification to meet the expectations of the construction industry. Although universities‘ curricula have provisions for industrial training (IT), such programmes have not made the expected impact and need quick redress. This paper assesses the perceptions of undergraduate construction students of the College of Architecture and Planning of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, Ghana, on IT, and identifies challenges and possible measures to overcome such challenges. A structured questionnaire survey of 185 final year Building Technology and Architecture students was conducted. Data obtained were analyzed based on mean scores of factors evaluated and also t-test to assess the significance of the differences between students‘ performance before and after undertaking IT. Students are of the view that IT exposes them to real work environment and increase their job prospects among others. Students‘ satisfaction level with their performance on personal attitude, communication and work attitude significantly improved after undergoing IT. They are, however, not satisfied with their departments‘ involvement, particularly, with regards to placement and monitoring. Stressful placement processes and financial strain on students are some of the challenges identified. Educational institutions are to collaborate with industry to secure suitable placement for all students and to monitor IT activities in order to enhance the effectiveness of training programmes.

Teachers' views about technical education: implications for reforms towards a broad based technology curriculum in Malawi - Chikasanda, VK; K Otrel-Cass, K; Jones, A (International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2011)
Internationally there has been concern about the direction of technical education and how it is positioned in schools. This has also been the case in Malawi where the curriculum has had a strong focus on skills development. However, lately there has been a call for enhancing technological literacy of students, yet little support has been provided for teachers to achieve this goal. This paper reports from a wider study that looked at teachers’ existing views and practices in technical education in Malawi. The article focuses on the findings from interviews that were conducted with six secondary school teachers to find out about their understanding of the meaning and rationale for technical education. It is also discussed how the teachers view technical education as involving skills development for making things and their thoughts on the benefits of such knowledge. It is argued that teachers’ views about technical education were strongly linked to the goals of the curriculum vacationalization policies adopted at the dawn of political independence. Besides skills training they saw the potential to impart thinking skills related to design and problem solving, and the need for essential pedagogical techniques to support learning in technical education. Examination requirements, inadequate opportunities to conduct practical activities and a lack of supportive policy were seen as limiting factors. This article claims that teachers’ views were shaped by their expectations and beliefs about the nature of technical education and what they perceived students may gain from such learning. Their views were also influenced by contextual factors which may have implications on reforms towards broader notions of technology education.

Video as a tool for agricultural extension in Africa: a case study from Ghana - David, Soniia; Asamoah, Christopher (International Journal of Education and Development using ICT, 2011)
The paper explores the effectiveness of video viewing clubs (VVCs) as a training method based on a formal survey of 32 Ghanaian women farmers who were trained on cocoa integrated crop and pest management (ICPM) using this method. Results suggests that the video viewing club is effective as a relatively low cost, interactive training method for providing low literacy populations with skills, information and knowledge on complex technical topics. While there was no significant difference between VVC participants and a control group in cocoa yields and implementation of selected ICPM practices, the study demonstrated that VVC training significantly improved farmers' knowledge of most topics covered. Farmers' perception of changes in their practices provided further evidence of the positive impact of the training, as did their high rate of knowledge diffusion. The use of local facilitators in the VVCs, which created a sense of ownership and added to the credibility of the technical messages, contributed to farmers' appreciation of the method. The paper concludes by discussing the challenges of scaling up VVCs and identifying issues for further research. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

Playing with the Multiple Intelligences: How Play Helps Them Grow - Eberle, Scott G (American Journal of Play, 2011)
Howard Gardner first posited a list of "multiple intelligences" as a liberating alternative to the assumptions underlying traditional IQ testing in his widely read study "Frames of Mind" (1983). Play has appeared only in passing in Gardner's thinking about intelligence, however, even though play instructs and trains the verbal, interpersonal, intrapersonal, logical, spatial, musical, and bodily intelligences that Gardner regards as original human endowments. Playing out of doors also enhances and exercises the faculty that Gardner later marked as the naturalist intelligence. As recess dwindles in American schools, and as free play shrinks in the childhood experience, this article finds fresh cause to inspect the merits of multiple-intelligence theory through the lens of play.

The emergence of a digital underclass: digital policies in the UK and evidence for inclusion - Ellen, Helsper (Department of Media and Communications, London School of Economics and Political Science, London, UK, 2011)
New evidence shows that a digital underclass is forming in Britain. Although there is some improvement in access, skills and use of the internet among those who have lower education levels and no employment, these groups remain far behind other groups. As the government plans to make public services ‘digital by default’ these individuals will be unable to access them, not because of a lack of infrastructure but because of a lack of (effective) take up of the available connections. Exclusion of these most vulnerable groups has become entrenched. Gaps based on education and employment persist independent of age or other characteristics. They therefore represent a problem that is unlikely to go away even with better infrastructure or as younger generations grow up. These individuals are those that rely most on the government services that are now becoming ‘digital by default’ and will continue to do so. Those who need access to services most, from where the biggest cost savings through the digitisation of services are supposed to come, are the least likely to take these up even when access is available.

Policy Review on Adult Learning: The Adult Non-formal Education Policy of Mali, West Africa - Gadio, Moussa (Adult Learning, 2011)
The shift to democracy was manifested in a constitution voted in 1992 that declared education a fundamental civil right and granted citizens the freedom of organizing themselves around their own needs. [...]new actors emerged in the education sector like the civil society and the private sector. Rapid changes in all societies today are creating new needs in relation with lifelong learning that the policy document doesn't cover sufficiently. [...]the policy document should be amended and completed with enforcement laws to provide adult education professionals and practitioners with instruments that would help to effectively recognize and reorganize the field to adapt it to the changing needs of modern Mali.

Lessons for developing countries from experience with technical and vocational education and training - Kingombe, Christian (Economic Challenges and Policy Issues in Early Twenty-First-Century Sierra Leone, 2011)
The literacy requirements of both globalization and technological change necessitate enhancement of literacy education and training to keep pace with these phenomena. Sierra Leone‘s An Agenda for Change – Second Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRSPII) 2008-2012 has mainstreamed youth employment and the government has developed a National Action Plan on Youth Employment. Moreover, TVET in Sierra Leone needs a new focus and new direction to strongly respond to the PRSP. In fact a national harmonized policy for TVET is required for a national curriculum. Hitherto, the development and implementation of TVET reform programmes has been severely hampered by budgetary constraints in all 16 countries in the ECOWAS. Based on frontier research on the lessons learned from recent TVET reforms in other developing countries, this paper aims to inform the future comprehensive design and implementation of strategies for TVET in Sierra Leone . The paper makes suggestions for how to address future challenges and opportunities to ensure that the good performance of TVET reforms contribute to the promotion of sustainable growth through private sector development. The paper is structured as follows. Section 2 provides a stock taking of the available quantitative evidence on the impact of TVET. Section 3 presents and discusses different institutional and strategic TVET frameworks. Section 4 discusses the importance of a demand-oriented TVET system. Section 5 discusses the various existing and potential sources for the financing of the TVET system. Section 6 pres ents various examples of successful external cooperation on TVET projects in Africa and Asia. Finally, section 7 concludes and presents policy options.

Study on the feasibility of provision of distance learning programmes in surgery to Malawi - Mains, Edward A.A.; Blackmur, James P.; Dewhurst, David; Ward, Ross M.; Garden, O. James; Wigmore, Stephen J. (The Surgeon, 2011)
Abstract Medical educational opportunities and resources are considerably limited in the developing world. The expansion of computing and Internet access means that there exists a potential to provide education to students through distance learning programmes.This study investigated the feasibility of providing distance learning course in surgery in Malawi. The study investigated the user requirements, technical requirements and Internet connections in two teaching hospitals in Malawi. In addition the appropriateness of current course material from the Edinburgh Surgical Sciences Qualification to Malawi trainees was assessed.The study found a high degree of interest from Malawian trainees in distance learning. The provision of basic science modules such as anatomy and physiology and the ability to access journals were considered highly desirable. The current ESSQ course would require extensive re-modelling to make it suitable to an African trainee’s requirements. Internet speeds remain slow and access is currently expensive.There is considerable interest in distance learning programmes in Malawi but access to them is limited partly because of slow and expensive Internet access.Understanding the needs of trainees in countries such as Malawi will allow better direction of educational aid and resources to support surgical training.

Multimedia learning and games - Mayer, Richard E. (Computer games and instruction, 2011)
Many strong claims are made for the educational value of computer games, but there is little strong empirical evidence to back up those claims. For example, in a recent review, Hannifin and Vermillion observed: "Games are very motivating and have tremendous potential in education, but despite a rapidly growing research base, there is yet insufficient evidence to draw definitive conclusions." Similarly, O'Neil and Perez noted: "Computer games were hypothesized to be potentially useful for instructional purposes [but]... there is almost no guidance for game designers and developers on how to design games that facilitate learning." In order to provide guidance to game developers, it would be useful to have research-based principles for how to design educational computer games (i.e., a science of instruction) and a research-based theory of how people learn from educational computer games (i.e., a science of learning). The goal of this chapter is to examine how best to build a scientifically rigorous research base relevant to the design of effective educational computer games.

Human Resource Development (HRD) through Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) during Independence Days in Kenya - Mosoti, Z (International Journal of Social and Policy Issues, 2011)
I have traced the history and evolution of HRD through IVET during independence days. I relied on Kenya's NDPs and the education commissions appointed by political leaderships (Kenya's two past presidents) to look at the development and processes of education and ways that have been suggested to improve education. I have discussed these through the NDPs and the commissions appointed by the presidents of the time. The information has been presented using a chronological, thematic and, again chronological method. Additional information includes changes in curriculum during the same period. The first part considers the period from independence in 1963 to 1987 and the second part 1988 to 2005.

A Critical Review of Vocational Education and Training Research and Suggestions for the Research Agenda - Mulder, Martin; Roelofs, Eline (2011)
This paper gives a description of research in the field of Vocational Education and Training (VET). The field of VET research is quite scattered, so giving a full overview is hardly possible. Nevertheless, the VET research presented at the European Conference of Educational Research 2011 (Berlin) is reviewed, as well as the content of a number of VET research journals of publication year 2011. Research themes and topics are defined, and according to the categories the research is reviewed. The conclusions of the review are: 1. there is a large amount of research on VET which is quite diverse and fragmented; 2. much VET research lacks theoretical and empirical foundation; the dominant research methods are case and desk studies and explorative and analytical studies. There are hardly any experiments and intervention and design-based research studies; 3. there are various urgent topics for further research, which are elaborated in the paper.

Teaching with and Learning through ICTs in Zimbabwe's Teacher Education Colleges. - Musarurwa, C (US-China Education Review, 2011)
The use of ICTs (information and communication technologies) in Zimbabwe’s teacher education colleges is of paramount importance. The teacher trainees have a dual role to play: learning through ICTs and also learning how to teach through them. Interestingly, the rate at which schools have embraced the use of ICTs is unprecedented, but this has not been matched with an equal effort by teacher education colleges and hence teacher trainees have been less exposed and trained in using such technologies. Evidently, this has created a mismatch between the need for teachers who are conversant with ICTs and e-learning and their availability. This paper stems from a pilot programme in which the author was an active participant. It reflects on efforts made to integrate ICTs into the teacher education curriculum and evaluates the impact that this programme will have on teacher education in Zimbabwe.

The Context of Training Teachers to Implement a Socially Relevant Science Education in Africa - Ogunniyi, Meshach B. (African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2011)
The underlying assumption to this paper is that learners' ability to appreciate the relevance of school science and its importance to socio-economic development of their communities to a large extent depends on the quality of instruction they receive from their teachers. A popular conundrum is that no country is greater than the calibre of its teachers. However, a sort of Mathew's principle of the "haves" having more and the "have-nots" losing even what they do have tends to hold. Hence, learners of well-trained teachers tend to outperform those of poorly trained teachers on most tasks. A vivid example here in South Africa is the usual wide chasm between the matriculation results of learners from the former well-resourced Model C schools and those (with few exceptions due to massive support) from the previously disadvantaged schools. In pursuit of relevance many African political leaders and policy makers have called on teacher training institutions to produce teachers who are capable of making school science relevant to learners' home environment. This paper reports an attempt that has been made to equip teachers in such a way that makes science accessible, interesting and complementary to learners' indigenous knowledge and life worlds in general.

Lifelong learning, lifelong education and adult education in higher institutions of learning in Eastern Africa: The case of Makerere University Institute of Adult and Continuing Education - Openjuru, , G.L. (International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2011)
This paper advocates for policy recognition of lifelong learning by institutions of higher learning and governments in Eastern Africa. Lifelong learning and lifelong education are two concepts that aim at widening access to and the participation of adult learners in the acquisition of new knowledge, skills, values and attitudes. There are many reasons for advocating for lifelong learning and education in higher institutions of learning in Eastern Africa. Firstly, the demand for higher education in Eastern Africa has increased phenomenally. Secondly, the need to cope with this fast-changing world calls for a continuous acquisition of new knowledge, skills and attitude. This paper looks at the concepts of lifelong learning (LLL) and lifelong education (LLE) in relation to the changes that are affecting the provision of universitybased learning opportunities for non-traditional students in Eastern Africa, with examples from Makerere University Institute of Adult and Continuing Education in Uganda. In looking at the concepts of LLL and LLE, other concepts of lifewide learning and the learning society are also discussed. Adult learning and adult education are discussed as concepts that are used by adult educators in Eastern Africa with very limited understanding of what they really mean. The confusion in the use of these emerging and popular concepts in Eastern Africa is discussed. The paper presents some recommendations for higher institutions of learning in Eastern Africa to develop a clear understanding of and embrace lifelong learning. © 2011 Taylor & Francis.

An unresolved issue in the field of implementation research is how to conceptualize and evaluate successful implementation. This paper advances the concept of “implementation outcomes” distinct from service system and clinical treatment outcomes. This paper proposes a heuristic, working “taxonomy” of eight conceptually distinct implementation outcomes—acceptability, adoption, appropriateness, feasibility, fidelity, implementation cost, penetration, and sustainability—along with their nominal definitions. We propose a two-pronged agenda for research on implementation outcomes. Conceptualizing and measuring implementation outcomes will advance understanding of implementation processes, enhance efficiency in implementation research, and pave the way for studies of the comparative effectiveness of implementation strategies.

Ambition Gone Awry: The Long-Term Socioeconomic Consequences of Misaligned and Uncertain Ambitions in Adolescence - Sabates, Ricardo; Harris, Angel L.; Staff, Jeremy (Social Science Quarterly, 2011)
Objective The objective of this study was to investigate whether misaligned or uncertain ambitions in adolescence influence the process of socioeconomic attainment. Methods Using 34 years of longitudinal data from the British Cohort Study (BCS70), we considered whether youth with (1) misaligned ambitions (i.e., those who either over- or underestimate the level of education required for their desired occupation), (2) both low occupational aspirations and educational expectations (low-aligned ambitions), and (3) uncertainty with regard to their future occupations (uncertain ambitions) at age 16 experienced more unemployment spells, lower educational attainment, and lower hourly wages in adulthood compared to youth with high occupational aspirations and educational expectations (high-aligned ambitions). Results Youth who hold misaligned or uncertain aspirations show long-term deficits in employment stability and educational attainment, which in turn leads to lower wage attainments at age 34. Conclusion Misaligned and uncertain ambitions in adolescence compromise the construction of life paths and the realization of long-term educational and occupational goals.

Effective integration of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in technical and vocational education and training (TVET) toward knowledge management - Saud, MS; Shu, B; Yasin, MAM (African Journal of Business Management, 2011)
The relevance of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the field of Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) cannot be exhausted by studies available in the “knowledge-based” society. The world of work is in continuous change as ICT itself, thus posing more challenges to the workers in the 21st century and the institutions responsible for their preparation. Despite numerous studies revealing the extent to which ICTs are applied at different educational specializations, literature on the effective integration of ICTs into Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) field is scarce and needs further exploration to highlight the TVETs’ level of requirement for ICTs integration. Therefore, this paper attempts to add to the available literature on ICTs integration in TVET by bringing out clearly; the need for effective integration of ICTs in TVET, factors influencing the effective integration of ICTs in TVET, overview of the challenges to the effective integration of ICTs in TVET. The paper concludes by recommending for a proper planning and management of ICTs resources in TVET.
