Chatbot, the Future of Learning? - Ouatu, Bogdan-Ioan; Gîfu, Daniela (2020)
Our position is that, in order to improve the quality of Romanian education, an intelligent learning system could become a substantial and versatile tool for aiding the achievement of every student’s potential, always aiding and encouraging him/her. The limits of the conventional learning process and mental health are major issues in many education systems. Chatbots are centered on assisting humans in performing their tasks efficiently and require a low amount of digital literacy to interact with. Chatbots have been shown to be effective in the fields of education and well-being. Due to the substantial difference between artificial intelligence technology waves, the interaction process can occur in several ways depending on the communication interface. How can we combine both traditional and automated educational approaches in the digital age? On one hand, an artificial intelligence tutor does not get angry or annoyed explaining the same problem at the student’s discretion and can also function as a personal therapist, while a human professor could be empathic, trying to keep a balanced teaching method adapted to all students.

ChatGPT’s ability to classify virtual reality studies in cardiology - Nakaya, Yuichiro; Higaki, Akinori; Yamaguchi, Osamu (European Heart Journal - Digital Health, 2023)
We recently published a novel categorization of studies related to virtual reality (VR) in your journal, European Heart Journal—Digital Health.1 Our categorization is based on the usage of VR devices, where type A studies refer to those in which healthcare providers use VR devices and type B studies refer to those in which patients use them. Using this simple definition, we clarified the study trends and characteristics of the two research directions. In this study, we used a classical natural language processing (NLP) methodology, specifically ‘term frequency–inverse document frequency’ to develop an automatic abstract categorizer, which is available as a web application at https://ahigaki-vr-categorizer-str-app-gb1m6v.streamlit.app. Meanwhile, ChatGPT, a conversational artificial intelligence (AI) system launched by OpenAI, has had a significant impact on the field of NLP.2 Several proposed uses of ChatGPT as a scholarly tool, including systematic review literature searches, have already been suggested.3 Therefore, we sought to test whether ChatGPT can also perform the classification task that we previously conducted using traditional NLP methods.

Children and the Internet: Learning, in the Times to Come - Mitra, Sugata (Journal of Learning for Development, 2020)
It is proposed that the purpose of education is to enable people to live happy, healthy and useful lives — now and in the future. A curriculum and framework for children’s education is derived from the above purpose. Using the results of over twenty years of research, the pedagogical and physical environments required that will enable children to learn are discussed in the post-pandemic world. Scenarios for schools and homes are presented with a special emphasis on the role of the Internet in children’s learning. New methods for assessment and certification are described to complete a framework for children’s education that is fit for purpose for our times.

Children in the digital environment: Revised typology of risks - OECD (OECD, 2021)
The digital environment has become an integral part of children’s everyday lives and interactions. The benefits can be tremendous, but there also risks. In 2011, the OECD adopted a Typology of Risks in an effort to broadly categorise those risks. Since then the digital environment has changed significantly, as risks have evolved in nature and new ones have emerged. This report informs the OECD’s broader work on children in the digital environment by examining these trends and presenting an updated Typology of Risks. The Typology provides a high-level overview of the risk landscape, and outlines four risk categories and their manifestations. The Typology also identifies and analyses risks that cut across these four risk categories, and that can therefore have wide-ranging effects on children’s lives.

Children’s data protection in an education setting - Guidelines - Council of Europe (Council of Europe Publishing, 2021)
Children's digital footprint: guidelines to support organisations and individuals in the educational context to respect, protect and fulfil children's rights in the digital environmentThe digital environment shapes children’s lives in many ways, creating opportunities and risks to their well-being and enjoyment of Human Rights.This applies in the everyday life but also increasingly in education settings where tools designed for teaching, supervision, assessment of children are deployed without the various actors always being aware of the challenges to children’s private life and personal data protection.The introduction of digital tools to the classroom in effect opens up the school gates to a wide range and high volume of stakeholders who interact with children’s everyday activities. The majority of the devices and applications, software and learning platforms, adopted in educational settings are developed by private, commercial actors.The Guidelines on Children’s Data Protection in an Educational Setting aim at supporting organisations and individuals in the context of education to respect, protect and fulfil the data protection rights of the child in the digital environment, within the scope of Article 3 of the modernised Convention 108 (more commonly referred to as “Convention 108+”), and in accordance with the CoE instruments including the Guidelines on Children in the Digital Environment Recommendation CM/Rec(2018)7.

Children's Privacy: An Evaluation of EdTech Privacy Policies - West, Tobi (2022)
Due to social distancing requirements at the onset of the pandemic many schools suddenly transitioned to online learning platforms. Additionally, minors create a significant amount of digital assets, often without regard for privacy or future use. Without ill intent, adults may encourage children to create digital assets containing private information, potentially leading to future embarrassment. During the child's younger years, they have the autonomy to create digital assets, yet they do not have the legal right to determine the use or deletion of those assets. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is meant to protect children's privacy and as early adopters of new education technology, eager teachers are deciding which tools to use that may circumvent their school or district's approval processes. As features of their products, Education technology (EdTech) companies may share the data collected from children with third-party service providers to perform data analysis. Those service providers may not share the same compliance level in their privacy policy, putting the privacy and security of consumer data at further risk. This study reviews the privacy policies of three EdTech tools for COPPA compliance based on the Federal Trade Commission's tips for consumers. The report includes information about the privacy implications of third-party data processing, the legal consequences of privacy violations after the collection of minors' digital assets, and an explanation of the privacy policy evaluation reports of EdTech tools provided by Common Sense Media with suggestions for parents, teachers, and school administrators.

Classifying settlement types from multi-scale spatial patterns of building footprints - Jochem, Warren C; Leasure, Douglas R; Pannell, Oliver; Chamberlain, Heather R; Jones, Patricia; Tatem, Andrew J (Environment and Planning B: Urban Analytics and City Science, 2020)
Urban settlements and urbanised populations continue to grow rapidly and much of this transition is occurring in less developed countries. Remote sensing techniques are now often applied to monitor urbanisation and changes in settlement patterns. In particular, increasing availability of very high resolution imagery (<1 m spatial resolution) and computing power is enabling complete sets of settlement data in the form of building footprints to be extracted from imagery. These settlement data provide information on the changes occurring in cities, particularly in countries which may lack other data on urbanisation. While spatially detailed, extracted building footprints typically lack other information that identify building types or can be used to differentiate intra-urban land uses or neighbourhood types. This work demonstrates an approach to classifying settlement types through multi-scale spatial patterns of urban morphology visible in building footprint data extracted from very high resolution imagery. The work uses a Gaussian mixture modelling approach to select and hierarchically merge components into clusters. The results are maps classifying settlement types on a high spatial resolution (100 m) grid. The approach is applied in Kaduna, Nigeria; Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo; and Maputo, Mozambique and demonstrates the potential of computational methods to take advantage of large spatial datasets and extract meaningful information to support monitoring of urban areas. The model-based approach produces a hierarchy of potential clustering solutions, and we suggest that this can be used in partnership with local knowledge of the context when creating settlement typologies.

Classroom Temperature and Learner Absenteeism in Public Primary Schools in the Eastern Cape, South Africa - Pule, Vicky; Mathee, Angela; Melariri, Paula; Kapwata, Thandi; Abdelatif, Nada; Balakrishna, Yusentha; Kunene, Zamantimande; Mogotsi, Mirriam; Wernecke, Bianca; Wright, Caradee Yael (International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021)
Children spend a significant proportion of their time at school and in school buildings. A healthy learning environment that supports children should be thermally conducive for learning and working. Here, we aimed to study the relations between indoor classroom temperatures and learner absenteeism as a proxy for children’s health and well-being. This one-year prospective study that spanned two calendar years (from June 2017 to May 2018) entailed measurement of indoor classroom temperature and relative humidity, calculated as apparent temperature (Tapp) and collection of daily absenteeism records for each classroom in schools in and around King Williams Town, Eastern Cape province, South Africa. Classroom characteristics were collected using a standardized observation checklist. Mean indoor classroom temperature ranged from 11 to 30 °C, while mean outdoor temperature ranged from 6 °C to 31 °C during the sample period. Indoor classroom temperatures typically exceeded outdoor temperatures by 5 °C for 90% of the study period. While multiple factors may influence absenteeism, we found absenteeism was highest at low indoor classroom Tapp (i.e., below 15 °C). Absenteeism decreased as indoor Tapp increased to about 25 °C before showing another increase in absenteeism. Classroom characteristics differed among schools. Analyses of indoor classroom temperature and absenteeism in relation to classroom characteristics showed few statistically significant relations—although not exceptionally strong ones—likely because of the multiple factors that influence absenteeism. However, given the possible relationship between indoor temperature and absenteeism, there is a learning imperative to consider thermal comfort as a fundamental element of school planning and design. Furthermore, additional research on factors besides temperature that affect learner absenteeism is needed, especially in rural areas.

Co-design for a Competency Self-assessment Chatbot and Survey in Science Education - Durall, Eva; Kapros, Evangelos (Learning and Collaboration Technologies. Human and Technology Ecosystems, 2020)
This paper describes a co-design process for a formative assessment tool in the area of core competencies such as creativity, communication, collaboration, and critical thinking. This process has been carried out in the context of non-formal science education institutions in 19 countries in Europe and the Middle East. The results of the co-design have been influential in the design of a formative assessment chatbot and survey that supports learner competency and self-regulation. We also discuss some preliminary results from the use of the tool and introduce additional considerations with regard to inclusion, technical aspects, and ethics, towards a set of best practices in this area.

Cognitive performance was reduced by higher air temperature even when thermal comfort was maintained over the 24–28°C range - Lan, Li; Tang, Jieyu; Wargocki, Pawel; Wyon, David P; Lian, Zhiwei (Indoor Air, 2022)
This study managed to create thermal comfort conditions at three temperatures (24°C-T24, 26°C-T26, and 28°C-T28) by adjusting clothing and air velocity. Thirty- six subjects (18 males and 18 females) were exposed to each of the three conditions for 4.5 h in a design balanced for order of presentation of conditions. During each exposure, they rated the physical environment, their comfort, the intensity of acute subclinical health symptoms, and their mental load, and they performed a number of cognitive tasks. Their physiological reactions were monitored. The subjects rated T24 to be comfortably cool, T26 to be comfortably neutral, and T28 to be comfortably warm. Their self-estimated performance did not differ between conditions but 12 of 14 objective metrics of cognitive performance decreased significantly at the elevated temperatures: compared with T24, their average cognitive performance decreased by 10% at T26 and by 6% at T28. At the elevated temperatures, their parasympathetic nervous system activity (as indicated by PNN50) and their arterial blood oxygen saturation level (SpO2) were both lower, which would be expected to result in reduced cognitive performance. The subjects also rated their acute subclinical health symptoms as more intense and their workload as higher at the elevated temperatures. These results suggest that where cognitive performance is the priority, it is wise to ensure a comfortably cool environment. The present study also supports the use of fans or natural ventilation to reduce the need for mechanical cooling.

Collaborative construction of artificial intelligence curriculum in primary schools - Dai, Yun; Liu, Ang; Qin, Jianjun; Guo, Yanmei; Jong, Morris Siu‐Yung; Chai, Ching‐Sing; Lin, Ziyan (Journal of Engineering Education, 2023)
Abstract Background The recent discussion of introducing artificial intelligence (AI) knowledge to K–12 students, like many engineering and technology education topics, has attracted a wide range of stakeholders and resources for school curriculum development. While teachers often have to directly interact with external stakeholders out of the public schooling system, few studies have scrutinized their negotiation process, especially teachers' responses to external influences, in such complex environments. Purpose Guided by an integrated theoretical framework of social constructionism, this research examined the process of how a teacher‐initiated AI curriculum was constructed with external influences. The research focused on teachers' perspectives and responses in mediating external influences into local schools and classrooms. Methods A 3‐year ethnographic study was conducted in relation to an AI curriculum project among 23 Computer Science (CS) teachers from primary schools. Data collected from ethnographic observation, teacher interviews, and artifacts, were analyzed using open coding and triangulation rooted in the ethnographic, interpretivist approach. Results Three sets of external influences were found salient for teachers' curriculum decisions, including the orientation of state‐level educational policies, AI faculty at a partner university, and students' media and technology environments. The teachers' situational logics and strategic actions were reconstructed with thick descriptions to uncover how they navigated and negotiated the external influences to fulfill local challenges and expectations in classrooms and schools. Conclusions The ethnographic study uncovered the dynamic and multifaceted negotiation involved in the collaborative curriculum development, and offers insights to inform policymaking, teacher education, and student support in engineering education.

College-Level Sex Education Courses: A Systematic Literature Review - Manning-Ouellette, Amber; Shikongo-Asino, Josephine (American Journal of Sexuality Education, 2022)
Understanding college-level sex education can help campus stakeholders understand student knowledge, inform policies, and influences on culture. Although there is a large amount of research on sexual health programming, little is known about the types of sex education curriculum on college campuses. This systematic literature review evaluates the breadth of postsecondary sex education research over the last 10 years. Three sex education course themes indicate research spans the following areas: philosophical and pedagogical considerations, perceived student knowledge and learning, and cultural and feminist-informed sex education. Finally, the results also indicate there are six types of courses taught at the college-level.

In 2018, at the 20th Commonwealth Conference of Education Ministers (20CCEM), ministers acknowledged that good governanceand effective educational management practices are central to realising equitable access to quality education. Ministers agreedthat high-quality teaching is a priority, and that the Member States should focus on how teachers and school leaders are trained,recruited and motivated and how the profession is governed. Effective and knowledgeable leaders and managers are essentialthroughout all areas of school management practice because they have an impact on the learning outcomes of children, youngpeople, families and the wider community. This handbook is a practical, immediate response to expressed needs in school leadership development. It aims to supportefforts to integrate school leadership development in the professional development of the education work force, includingthrough reflective practice and conversations about professional development and personal growth.

Communicating Scientific Uncertainty in an Age of COVID-19: An Investigation into the Use of Preprints by Digital Media Outlets - Fleerackers, Alice; Riedlinger, Michelle; Moorhead, Laura; Ahmed, Rukhsana; Alperin, Juan Pablo (Health Communication, 2021)
In this article, we investigate the surge in use of COVID-19-related preprints by media outlets. Journalists are a main source of reliable public health information during crises and, until recently, journalists have been reluctant to cover preprints because of the associated scientific uncertainty. Yet, uploads of COVID-19 preprints and their uptake by online media have outstripped that of preprints about any other topic. Using an innovative approach combining altmetrics methods with content analysis, we identified a diversity of outlets covering COVID-19-related preprints during the early months of the pandemic, including specialist medical news outlets, traditional news media outlets, and aggregators. We found a ubiquity of hyperlinks as citations and a multiplicity of framing devices for highlighting the scientific uncertainty associated with COVID-19 preprints. These devices were rarely used consistently (e.g., mentioning that the study was a preprint, unreviewed, preliminary, and/or in need of verification). About half of the stories we analyzed contained framing devices emphasizing uncertainty. Outlets in our sample were much less likely to identify the research they mentioned as preprint research, compared to identifying it as simply “research.” This work has significant implications for public health communication within the changing media landscape. While current best practices in public health risk communication promote identifying and promoting trustworthy sources of information, the uptake of preprint research by online media presents new challenges. At the same time, it provides new opportunities for fostering greater awareness of the scientific uncertainty associated with health research findings.

Comparative Advantages of Offline Digital Technology for Remote Indigenous Classrooms in Guatemala (2019-2020) - Wiebe, Adrienne; Crisostomo, Luis Javier; Perez, Ruben Feliciano; Anderson, Terry (Journal of Learning for Development, 2022)
Technology has been viewed as a means to improve the quality of education for children globally, particularly in remote and marginal communities. This study examines the comparative advantages of the use of appropriate technology (off-line servers with digital libraries connected to a classroom set of laptops) in ten intervention schools in Indigenous communities in Guatemala for one school year. The study was too short (due to pandemic restrictions) to demonstrate statistically significant differences for learning outcomes. However, using an instructional core model as a framework, qualitative findings supported four previously identified comparative advantages, and identified four additional ones relevant to remote Indigenous communities. The intervention validated the ability of technology to improve standardized instruction, differentiated instruction, opportunities for practice, and learner engagement. Newly identified advantages are: access to high-quality educational resources (substitution for print materials), teacher capacity-building, student technical skills and digital literacy, and sharing cultural knowledge.

Comparative Analysis of Comfort Temperature of School Children and Their Teachers - Munonye, Charles; Ngobili, Michael; Umeora, Chukwunonso; Oluchi, Ifebi; Maduka, Nkechi; Onwuzuligbo, Chijioke (Research & Development, 2023)
Thermal comfort in learning environments influences the student’s focus and learning productivity. This study aims to evaluate and compare the adaptive thermal comfort of schoolchildren and their teachers in naturally ventilated primary schools in some selected cities in Imo State Nigeria. To achieve these objectives, the study analyzed the data collected from 330 pupils and 44 teachers in six surveyed classrooms in two types of classroom buildings. The recorded data in the surveyed classrooms consisted of four environmental factors and two personal factors. At the same time, the subjects filled out the questionnaires asking them about thermal sensation and thermal preferences against the classrooms’ thermal requirements. The results of the measurements showed that the indoor mean air temperature, relative humidity, and air velocity were 29.1°C, 71.2%, and 0.19m/s, respectively. The mean thermal sensation votes of the children were +0.16 while that of their teachers was +0.58. The preferred temperatures were 27.4°C and 29.4°C for the schoolchildren and the teachers, respectively. Furthermore, the comfort range of the students was between 25.8°C - 31.6°C, and that of the teachers was between 28.0°C - 29.9°C. Based on the results of this study conducted in primary school buildings located in warm and humid climates, the thermal comfort perception of children and adults differ. This information will serve as a guide to professionals in the built environment, especially architects when designing primary school buildings in the warm and humid climates.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dataset of indoor air parameter measurements relating to indoor air quality and thermal comfort in South African primary school classrooms of various building infrastructure types - Van Der Walt, Rita Elise; Grobbelaar, Sara Susanna; Booysen, Marthinus Johannes (Data in Brief, 2024)
In the resource-constrained South African education sector, infrastructure considered temporary or a backup in other countries is used as permanent classrooms, primarily but not exclusively in lower-income areas. Children's cognitive performance and comfort are directly impacted by indoor air quality. Temperature, relative humidity, particulate matter and CO2 levels, substantial determinants of air quality and thermal comfort, have not been investigated across different classroom building and infrastructure types. We measure these parameters with 11-min intervals in 24 classrooms at schools in Stellenbosch, South Africa. These classrooms consist of a range of different infrastructure types. Container classrooms with and without insulation, mobile (prefabricated) classrooms, and brick classrooms of different configurations are included. Measurements are concurrently sampled over ten months (249 days, still ongoing) across multiple seasons with relevant metadata, including ambient weather conditions, school days and times, and electricity availability in the (South) African context, which impacts air conditioning usage. This dataset provides valuable insights into true learning conditions in South African classrooms.

Decrypting the Learners’ Retention Factors in Massive Open Online Courses - Pant, Harsh Vardhan; Lohani, Manoj Chandra; Pande, Jeetendra (Journal of Learning for Development, 2022)
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have recently become attractive at most universities, and the number of MOOCs has risen significantly, particularly in India. Despite their popularity, previous research has revealed a low course completion rate and a scarcity of research on the factors that influences learners’ retention in MOOCs. Therefore, it is a good idea to investigate previous research to understand the factors behind the learners’ retention so that an ideal learning model can be created. This study used Structural Equation Modelling to find out the unexplored learner retention factors in MOOCs and create a model, which may extend the satisfaction. MOOC data sets were collected from different Indian universities in Uttarakhand state. This study has explored the majority of influencing factors correlated with learners’ satisfaction. The findings show that MOOC usage intention is influenced by a willingness to credit mobility, the allure of the latest trendy course, content localisation and perceived effectiveness.

Deep Learning in Automatic Math Word Problem Solvers - Zhang, Dongxiang (AI in Learning: Designing the Future, 2023)
The design of an automatic solver for mathematical word problems (MWPs) dates back to the early 1960s and regained booming attention in recent years, owing to revolutionary advances in deep learning. Its objective is to parse the human-readable word problems into machine-understandable logical expressions. The problem is challenging due to the existence of a substantial semantic gap. To a certain extent, MWPs have been recognized as good test beds to evaluate the intelligence level of agents in terms of natural language understanding and automatic reasoning. The successful solving of MWPs can benefit online tutoring and constitute a milestone toward general AI. In this chapter, we present a general introduction to the technical evolution trend for MWP solvers in recent decades and pay particular attention to recent advancement with deep learning models. We also report their performances on public benchmark datasets, which can update readers’ understandings of the latest status of automatic math problem solvers.

The MoEVT, the World Bank and the Hub agreed that the Hub would work with the MoEVT to develop: A practical and actionable report analysing key factors to be considered in deploying an e-learning platform in Zanzibar. A report documenting the process of sourcing appropriate digital content, aligning this content with the curriculum and populating the e-learning system accordingly. An implementation plan to guide the deployment of the e-learning system. This document addresses part two of the request and is an elaboration of the digital content selection, curation and adaptation process suggested in the first report. However, this document is a stand-alone piece that does not require familiarity with any of the other deliverables.

Deploying an e-Learning Environment in Zanzibar: Feasibility Assessment - Groeneveld, Caspar; Kibga, Elia; Kaye, Tom (EdTech Hub, 2020)
The Zanzibar Ministry of Education and Vocational Training (MoEVT) and the World Bank (the Bank) approached the EdTech Hub (the Hub) in April 2020 to explore the feasibility of implementing a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). The Hub was requested to focus primarily on the deployment of a VLE in lower secondary education, and this report consequently focuses primarily on this group. The report is structured in four sections: An introduction to provide the background and guiding principles for the engagement with a short overview of the methodology applied. An analysis of the Zanzibar education system with a particular focus on elements relevant to deploying a VLE. This includes the status of ICT infrastructure, and a summary of the stakeholders who will play a role in using or implementing a VLE. A third section that discusses types of VLEs and content organisation, and their applicability to the Zanzibar ecosystem. A conclusion with recommendations for Zanzibar, including short- and long-term steps. In this collaboration with Zanzibar’s MoEVT, the Hub team sought to understand the purpose of the proposed VLE. Based on discussions and user scenarios, we identified two main education challenges a VLE may help to resolve. In the short term, students cannot go to school during the COVID-19 crisis, but need access to educational content. There is content, but no flexible and versatile platform to disseminate content to all students. In the long term, a mechanism to provide students with access to quality, curriculum-aligned content in school, or remotely, is required.

Deployment of Offline Learning Management Systems: Comparing the Performance of Selected Micro-servers in Tanzania - Maro, Salome; Kondoro, Aron; Haßler, Björn; Mtebe, Joel; Proctor, Jamie (Journal of Learning for Development, 2023)
Low-powered mobile devices such as Raspberry Pis and tablets can be used as micro-servers to implement offline Learning Management Systems (LMS). Despite their potential, especially for low-income countries, such as Tanzania, no research is available detailing the affordances of these devices for supporting LMS features. This study investigated the suitability of various low-cost micro-servers for deploying LMSs. It compared the performance of the Raspberry Pi, Android tablet, and Chromebook in terms of LMS benchmarking, response time, and resource utilisation. Results showed all devices had sufficient hardware resources to support the LMS, however, software stacks, I/O performance, and platform optimisations affected the micro-servers' performance. The Chromebook had the best performance in terms of response time, followed by the Raspberry Pi and tablets. In terms of cost, the Raspberry PI was the cheapest option. The installation process for tablets was more cumbersome than the other devices, meaning the devices with better tooling and a more conventional software stack were a better option for deploying offline micro-servers.

Developing a Proof of Concept for a Regional Learning Hub for Eastern and Southern Africa Part 5: Final report - Groeneveld, Caspar; Michels, Guillaume; Kaye, Tom (EdTech Hub, 2022)
In 2021 the UNICEF Eastern and Southern Africa Regional Office (ESARO), UNESCO, UNHCR, the Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) and EdTech Hub began collaborating to develop a Regional Learning Hub (RLH). The aim of the RLH is to create a platform to provide teaching and learning content aligned to the curricula of different countries in the region that is appropriate to local contexts. The RLH is envisaged as a platform where digital learning content has been pre-aligned with national curricula to enable use by governments and education stakeholders to facilitate quick selection of content for educational use in their regions. This document is the fifth and final report on the development of a proof of concept for the Hub. We recommend beginning with this document and then moving to any of the remaining four reports, depending on your interest: Inception report User research Skills taxonomy Content curation An output of the EdTech Hub, https://edtechhub.org

Developing chatbot for academic record monitoring in higher education institution - Heryandi, A. (IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020)
Monitoring academic records at a higher education institution is highly needed by both students and parents of students. Although the system is usually already available in the form of a web site, but it is still considered too complicated because it must involve a troublesome authentication process, especially for parents. Nowadays, chat applications have been very widely used by the community both young people and even the elderly. There are many chat applications that are widely used including WhatsApp, LINE, Telegram, and Facebook Messenger. The chat application provides an Application Programming Interface (API) service for sending or receiving messages. Therefore, the API can be used to create applications (chatbot) that will serve users in the form of chat. In this study, chatbot was built using the services of Telegram. This is because sending messages via Telegram is free. The information to be served is information about students' attendance at lectures, grades, and financial records. With this application, a college can provide facilities for students or parents of students to view academic records easily, cheaply, and can be accessed anytime.
