Uganda’s Record-Breaking Two-Year School Closure Led to… No Decline in the Number of Kids Who Can Read? - Schools2030 (Center For Global Development)
A couple weeks ago, Uganda finally ended the longest national school closure on record, reopening its public schools after nearly two full years. One might anticipate a fairly dramatic decline in learning levels. Indeed, in a very non-scientific poll of my twitter followers, the dominant view was that reading levels would collapse. That is not exactly what the Uwezo team found in their data, however. On Uwezo’s headline measure of reading competency, the new data reveal essentially the opposite: an improvement.

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

“Achieving and sustaining any development outcome depends on the contributions of multiple and interconnected actors...Each set of interconnected actors whose collective actions produce a particular outcome is a local system.” ~ USAID Local Systems Framework Development is an inherently collaborative process and so engaging with stakeholders is essential when designing and implementing effective development strategies and activities. By engaging across technical and support teams, with other USAID units, or with local communities, host governments, and partners we can identify areas of shared interest and potential cooperation. This helps us avoid duplication of effort, share what does and does not work, and develop innovative approaches to shared development challenges. When we don't invest in collaboration, we create information silos, miss opportunities, and lack critical perspectives that can make the difference between success and failure in our development interventions.

Predicting school performance using a combination of traditional and non-traditional education data from South Africa - Wandera, Henry; Marivate, Vukosi; Sengeh, Moinina David
The application of big data analytics in education is transforming learning, teaching and administration in schools. Current Education Data Mining (EDM) research focuses on teaching and personalized learning in higher institutions mostly in western countries with limited research conducted in African countries. Most research has been conducted using small datasets, simple learning analytics techniques and machine learning black box models to predict students’ performance. Black box modelling approaches use complex structures which are difﬁcult to be easily interpreted by stakeholders. We synthesize EDM approaches and tree based machine learning techniques to identify important features that can predict school performance across African countries such as South Africa. We apply LightGBM a gradient boosting framework and interpretable tree based algorithms on combined data sources from community surveys, school master lists and examination results to perform feature importance. The challenge faced in EDM research is limited education data sources, we merged different existing datasets from government reports and archives. We used community survey data to determine the standards of living in secondary schools within those communities. Cell phone internet, toilets, security, usable water sources, number of teachers and students, school location, and family head were identiﬁed as control variables impacting the attainment of schools. LightGBM, underlies the developed prediction model. It empowered the model with high accuracy, stability and easy interpretation hence outperforming XGBoost, decision tree and random forest algorithms.

The Potential Impact of COVID-19 on Student Learning and How Schools Can Respond - Wyse, Adam E.; Stickney, Eric M.; Butz, David; Beckler, Amanda; Close, Catherine N. (Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice)
There is no denying the impact that the coronravirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak has had on many aspects of our lives. This article looks at the potential impact of COVID-19 on student learning as schools abruptly morphed into virtual learning environments using data from several instructional, practice, and assessment solutions offered by Renaissance. First, three hypothetical learning scenarios are considered using normative data from Star assessments to explore the potential impact on reading and math test performace. Next, data on Focus Skills are used to highlight which grades may have missed the most foundational math and reading content if instruction was stopped or reduced. Last, data from two of Renaissance's practice tools are used to evaluate whether students were practicing key skills following school closures. The article concludes that academic decline will likely occur but may be tempered by the increased use of practice tools; effects may look different for math and reading; and may impact grades and schools differently. As such, schools may need to leverage decision-making frameworks, such as the Multi-tiered Systems of Support/Response-to-Intervention (MTSS/RTI) framework, more than ever to identify needs and target instruction where it matters most when school begins in fall 2020.

Biological Approaches to the Study of Behavioral Development - Bateson, Paul Patrick Gordon (International Journal of Behavioural Development, 1987)
Although prominence has been given to genes in much biological writing about development, gene expression is such that simple deterministic and additive arguments about genes are usually misconceived. The way in which an individual develops depends on conditions, but the conditions also often depend on the individual. An example is given of how the emerging abilities of a child might result from such an interplay. The development of much individual variation can be explained in terms of relatively simple forms of underlying regulation. Some animal examples are given of how, during development, one of a number of possible outcomes may be selected, as from a jukebox, by environmental conditions. Further cases of regulated interplay between the developing individual and its environment are provided by learning processes, such as imprinting in birds, that appear to occur within sensitive periods in development. Some endogenous control is required, but the self-terminating effects of the learning processes depend on experience. The biological study of behavioural development lays great emphasis on the dynamic character of what happens and in this respect has much in common with other approaches. It is distinctive, though, in that it commonly involves asking what the behavioural processes are for. This functional approach has drawn attention to the special requirements of the young, and the special mechanisms required in the assembly of behaviour. It has also helped understanding of why individuals of the same species, sex and age may differ so much.

The body in the mind: The bodily basis of meaning, imagination, and reason - Johnson, Mark (The body in the mind: The bodily basis of meaning, imagination, and reason, 1987)
"The Body in the Mind" explores the ways that meaning, understanding, and rationality arise from and are conditioned by the patterns of our bodily experience. In emphasizing the role of the body, Mark Johnson offers a corrective to dominant theories of meaning in Western philosophy, which have maintained a strictly abstract, propositional account of meaning detached from persons or experience. Expanding on his work with George Llakoff in the pathbreaking book "Metaphors We Live By," Johnson presents here an extended philosophical account, exposing the inadequacies of the objectivist philosophical tradition in its rigid separation of mind from body, cognition from emotion, and reason from imagination. He develops a constructive theory of the ways in which imagination links cognitive and bodily structures. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

The CTTP--An Innovative and Successful Caribbean Project Using Distance Learning - Buckley, Helen (Organisation for Co-operation in Overseas Development, 1992)
The Comprehensive Teacher Training Project (CTTP) was an innovative and successful Caribbean project in distance learning designed to assist prospective or untrained teachers to qualify for entry to training colleges, to produce four Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) "O" level courses, to develop a delivery and distribution system, and to promote the development of distance education in the region and abroad. The project has consistently worked to maintain a learner centered focus. Courses were developed in English, mathematics, social studies, and integrated science. Material in all four courses was print-based with anticipated audio and face-to-face supports. Courses were divided into self-study learning packages called modules made up of several lessons, with each lesson to be completed at one sitting. Based on recent experience, it is estimated that the part-time adult learner should take approximately one to one and one-half years to complete the English course, from one and one-half to two years to complete the Social Studies course, and two years to complete the mathematics and science courses. Internal evaluation of the entire CTTP has been very good to excellent despite various problems. Data on learner characteristics, performance and feedback throughout the field-testing period has been collected and analyzed for the module revisions process. Of 95 field testing learners who wrote CXC exams in June 1992, 47 passed. In addition to the examination results and feedback from learners, comments indicating satisfaction with the program are summarized in the conclusion. (JB)

The Embodied Mind provides a unique, sophisticated treatment of the spontaneous and reflective dimension of human experience. The authors argue that only by having a sense of common ground between mind in Science and mind in experience can our understanding of cognition be more complete. Toward that end, they develop a dialogue between cognitive science and Buddhist meditative psychology and situate it in relation to other traditions such as phenomenology and psychoanalysis.

There are three different levels at which perceived self-efficacy operates as an important contributor to academic development. Students' beliefs in their efficacy to regulate their own learning and to master academic activities determine their aspirations, level of motivation, and academic accomplishments. Teachers' beliefs in their personal efficacy to motivate and promote learning affect the types of learning environments they create and the level of academic progress their students achieve. Faculties' beliefs in their collective instructional efficacy contribute significantly to their schools' level of academic achievement. Student body characteristics influence school-level achievement more strongly by altering faculties' beliefs in their collective efficacy than through direct affects on school achievement.

Museums and sites: cultures of the past within education—Zimbabwe, some ten years on (The Presented Past, 1994)
This chapter investigates questions surrounding education about the past in what, to some, may appear to be an unusual way. It starts from the work of an outstandingly gifted group of people—Zimbabwean archaeologists and administrators as well as foreign consultants—working for, or with, the National Museums and Monuments Service of Zimbabwe (hereafter, NMMZ). This group is currently concerned with the protection of Zimbabwe's archaeological past, and the facilitation of education about that past.

The active interview - Holstein, James A.; Gubrium, Jaber F. (Qualitative research methods, Vol. 37., 1995)
"The Active Interview" takes a constructionist perspective on the interviewing process and interview products [in ethnographic research]. To Holstein and Gubrium, interviews are social productions. With this orientation, respondents are better seen as narrators or storytellers, and ethnographers are cast as participants in the process. Working together, the interviewer and narrator actively construct a story and its meaning. Interviewing, then, is inherently collaborative and problematic. —PP [This volume] provides a vocabulary that helps us to think about . . . the interactive aspects of interviews.

Networks That Alter Teaching: conceptualizations, exchanges and experiments - Huberman, Michael (Teachers and Teaching, 1995)
Professional development' has become a password to a variety of activities ranging from self-directed experimentation in the classroom tofull-blown research projects with peers and, occasionally, with external sources of expertise. From its initial, more restrictive and individual sense of in-service training, it has taken on institutional, even systemic dimensions, and has been identified as a pre-condition for thorough-going school reform. Even in its present form, however, the concept is problematic. The claim is made here that (a) it does not take into account the more 'artisan' or 'craft-centered' nature of work in the classroom, (b) that it is overly school-centered, and (c) that it under-estimates the real gradient of instructional change. A research-based, cross-school alternative for reflection and change is proposed, with a focus on bridging the gap between peer exchanges, the interventions of external resource people, and the greater likelihood of actual change at the classroom level.

Nothing as Practical as Good Theory : Exploring Theory-Based Evaluation for Comprehensive Community Initiatives for Children and Families - Weiss, Carol Hirscbon (New Approaches to Evaluating Community Initiatives’ ed.). Washington, DC: Aspen Institute., 1995)
The topic on the table is the evaluation of comprehensive cross-sector community-based interventions designed to improve the lot of children, youth, and families.’ These types of initiatives draw on a history of experience, from the Ford Foundation’s Gray Areas Program in the early 1960s continuing through the federal programs of the President’s Committee on Juvenile Delinquency, the large Community Action Program of the War on Poverty, the Model Cities Program, community development corporations, services integration programs, and others. Most of the government programs incorporated requirements for systematic evaluation; for foundation-supported programs, evaluation was more sporadic and informal. None ofthe programs was satisfied that it had achieved either maximalprogrdm benefit from its efforts or maximal evaluation knowledge about program consequences from the evaluations it undertook. In recent years a new generation of comprehensive community initiatives (CCIs) has been funded. Supported in large part by private foundations, the initiatives aim to reform human service and collateral systems in geographically bounded communities. They work across functional areas-such as social services, health care, the schools, and economic and physical redevelopment-in an effort to launch a comprehensive

Teaching Children in Poverty: three Australian primary school responses - Hatton, Elizabeth; Munns, Geoff; Dent, Jane Nicklin (British Journal of Sociology of Education, 1996)
Studies of pedagogical relationships offer insights into policies and practices which have the capacity to promote progressive change in educational practice for children in poverty. This paper focuses on relationships established in three differently‐located Australian primary schools: Greytown, a medium sized inner‐city school in New South Wales; Mungar, a large suburban school in Queensland; and Meiki, a small rural school in New South Wales. Each school is a designated disadvantaged school and funded accordingly through a federal Disadvantaged Schools Program, is located in a working class area, and is ethnically diverse. The schools’ pedagogical responses to children in poverty are contrasted and analysed in terms of their capacity to contribute to socially just outcomes from schooling.

An interactive system for finding complementary literatures: a stimulus to scientific discovery - Swanson, DR; Smalheiser, NR (Artificial Intelligence, 1997)
An unintended consequence of specialization in science is poor communication across specialties. Information developed in one area of research may be of value in another without anyone becoming aware of the fact. We describe and evaluate interactive software and database search strategies that facilitate the discovery of previously unknown cross specialty information of scientific interest. The user begins by searching MEDLINE for article titles that identify a problem or topic of interest. From downloaded titles the software constructs input for additional database searches and produces a series of heuristic aids that help the user select a second set of articles complementary to the first set and from a different area of research. The two sets are complementary if together they can reveal new useful information that cannot be inferred from either set alone. The software output further helps the user identify the new information and derive from it a novel testable hypothesis. We report several successful tests and applications of the system.

Educational Uses of Virtual Reality Technology. - Youngblut, Christine (INSTITUTE FOR DEFENSE ANALYSES ALEXANDRIA VA, 1998)
The potential of VR technology tor supporting education is widely recognized. It has already seen practical use in an estimated 20 or more public schools and colleges, and many more have been involved in evaluation or research efforts. This document reviews current efforts that are developing, evaluating, or using VR technology in education. It builds a picture of the states of the art and practice, and reviews some of the critical questions that are being addressed. Educational uses of the technology are broadly distinguished as those where students interact with pre-developed VR applications and those where students develop their own virtual worlds in the course of researching, understanding, and demonstrating their grasp of some subject matter. Forty-three efforts in the category of pre-developed applications and another 21 efforts in the category of student virtual world development are reported in this paper. The results of 35 evaluations that have been completed on these efforts are summarized. Another 20 ongoing or planned evaluations are identified.
