An Assessment of the Transition to Virtual Learning in the OECS - Emmanuel, Royston; Anthony, Germain (2020)
This assessment of the transition to Virtual Learning in the OECS is an initial step of a series of programmed activities that will help strengthen both the capacity and resilience of education systems in the region, particularly with respect to Online Learning. The context described here outlines some of the major challenges associated with regional efforts to successfully integrate ICTs in education. There appears to be consensus that Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) can well support ambitions for improving equity of access to education, the quality and the relevance of education. What this assessment reveals, is that there is wide disparity in the region with respect to approaches to adopting and adapting to VLEs.

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

An Assessment of Computer and ICT Skills at Botswana Open University: Implications of ICT in Business Subjects - Hamaluba, Tommie (Journal of Learning for Development, 2022)
This paper presents a study that focused on assessing computer and ICT skills of business subjects’ learners at Botswana Open University (BOU). The study explored the levels of computer skills; existence of ICT skills and perception of business subject learners on the adoption and use of ICT skills for teaching and learning. A sample size of 223 participants from BOU’s five regions was studied and data was collected quantitatively using survey questionnaires. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. The results showed that most of the respondents had average ability to navigate on the e-learning school platforms (E-library, portals, websites, etc.) and average awareness of the business learning software and applications; they were familiar with most MS package elements, MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Publisher. They were familiar with the use of emails, social sites and blogs as well as internet searching and browsing. Results also showed that the respondents understood the basic functions of computer hardware. The study also revealed that respondents needed improvement in the use of ICT tools for learning their business subjects, and that the improvement of the use of ICT tools would enhance their understanding of the subject matter. Respondents cited poor internet connectivity and unreliable power supply, as well as slow internet connectivity, as some of the reasons for their poor ICT skills in teaching and learning ICTs.

An analysis of the impact of the Accelerated Learning Project with year 11 students in Bristol schools, Bristol City Council - Davies, John Dwyfor; Last, Kathryn; Smart, Dean (2020)
1.1 Context In the summer of 2005, thirty-six per cent of Year 11 pupils in the City of Bristol Local Authority (LA) schools achieved 5 or more GCSE A*-C grades compared to the national average of 57%, with other further indicators of under performance. This resulted in considerable disquiet locally and much negative media interest. Bristol is England‟s eighth largest city and is the biggest population centre in the South West government region. Areas of the City are very multicultural, with about 10% of young Bristolians having English as an additional language. The regional importance, and service industry/financial base, of the city attracts a higher than average number of graduates to employment in greater Bristol, but conversely 28% of adults locally have limited or no qualifications. Some districts enjoy considerable wealth and 24% of the regions employment is centred here, with the local unemployment figure below the national average at 3.1% of the working age population. There are also pockets of extreme socio-economic deprivation, with some wards within the bottom percentage point of the most socio-economically deprived districts in England. 75% of Bristol 11-16 year olds are educated in the LA secondary schools, with the remainder educated in the schools of neighbouring LAs or in the large local independent sector.

An Analysis of ResNet50 Model and RMSprop Optimizer for Education Platform Using an Intelligent Chatbot System - Saadna, Youness; Boudhir, Anouar Abdelhakim; Ben Ahmed, Mohamed (Springer, 2022)
A chatbot is a software (or machine) that has the ability to talks with a user: it is a virtual assistant that can answer a number of user questions, and providing the correct responses. In the last few years, the use of chatbots is very popular in various fields, such as health care, marketing, educational, supporting systems, cultural heritage, entertainment, and many others. This paper proposes an intelligent chatbot system that can give a response in the form of natural language or audio to a natural language question or image input in different domains of education and will support multiple languages (English, French, and Arabic). To realize this System, we used different deep learning architectures (CNN, LSTM, Transformers), computer vision, transfer learning to extract image features vector, and natural language processing techniques. In the end, after the implementation of the proposed model, a comparative study was conducted in order to prove the performance of this system using image-response model and question-response model using accuracy and BLEU score metrics.

An analysis of pre-service family planning teaching in clinical and nursing education in Tanzania - Muganyizi, Projestine S; Ishengoma, Joyce; Kanama, Joseph; Kikumbih, Nassoro; Mwanga, Feddy; Killian, Richard; McGinn, Erin (BMC medical education, 2014)
Doc number: 142 Abstract Background: Promoting family planning (FP) is a key strategy for health, economic and population growth. Sub-Saharan Africa, with one of the lowest contraceptive prevalence and highest fertility rates globally, contributes half of the global maternal deaths. Improving the quality of FP services, including enhancing pre-service FP teaching, has the potential to improve contraceptive prevalence. In efforts to improve the quality of FP services in Tanzania, including provider skills, this study sought to identify gaps in pre-service FP teaching and suggest opportunities for strengthening the training. Methods: Data were collected from all medical schools and a representative sample of pre-service nursing, Assistant Medical Officer (AMO), Clinical Officer (CO) and assistant CO schools in mainland Tanzania. Teachers responsible for FP teaching at the schools were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. Observations on availability of teaching resources and other evidence of FP teaching and evaluation were documented. Relevant approved teaching documents were assessed for their suitability as competency-based FP teaching tools against predefined criteria. Quantitative data were analyzed using EPI Info 6 and qualitative data were manually analyzed using content analysis. Results: A total of 35 pre-service schools were evaluated for FP teaching including 30 technical education and five degree offering schools. Of the assessed 11 pre-service curricula, only one met the criteria for suitability of FP teaching. FP teaching was typically theoretical with only 22.9% of all the schools having systems in place to produce graduates who could skillfully provide FP methods. Across schools, the target skills were the same level of competence and skewed toward short acting methods of contraception. Only 23.3% (n = 7) of schools had skills laboratories, 76% (n = 22) were either physically connected or linked to FP clinics. None of the degree providing schools practiced FP at its own teaching hospital. Teachers were concerned with poor practical exposure and lack of teaching material. Conclusions: Pre-service FP teaching in Tanzania is theoretical, poorly guided, and skewed toward short acting methods; a majority of the schools are unable to produce competent FP service providers. Pre-service FP training should be strengthened with more focus on practical skills. Promoting family planning (FP) is a key strategy for health, economic and population growth.

An analysis of peer reviewed publications on openness in education in half a century: Trends and patterns in the open hemisphere - Bozkurt, Aras; Koseoglu, Suzan; Singh, Lenandlar (Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2018)
Openness in education is an evolving concept which is shaped by the changing needs of societies, cultures, geographies, and economies, thus, it does not have a precise definition. By focusing on four sets of generic keywords - open education, open learning, open educational resources (OERs), and open educational practices (OEPs) - this paper examines research in openness in education through a systematic review of peer reviewed literature. In doing so, the researchers sought to draw attention to existing trends and patterns and possible future trajectories of openness in education. Content analysis, social network analysis, and text-mining are the methods used for data collection and analysis. Findings show that there has been growing interest on openness in education, particularly on OERs, across different fields. Findings also point to OEPs as an emerging area of study, which offers a fertile ground for future research. However, on closer inspection, a divide can be observed between the global north and global south in terms of research output.

An Alternative History of Educational Technology - Wegerif, Rupert; Major, Louis (The Theory of Educational Technology, 2023)
In most histories of educational technology, technology is referred to as a way of supporting education. In this chapter, we explore what happens when this framing of the relationship is reversed and we think about education as a way of supporting technology. We begin with the story of some of the first schools 4000 years ago in Ancient Sumeria. These, we claim, were created to support what was then a relatively new information and communications technology, cuneiform literacy. We argue that the shift from education based on talking and listening to education based on reading and writing involved a change in how knowledge is thought about and how education is understood. After the spread of education based on literacy, and later, on print literacy (which includes numeracy), a new kind of knowledge became possible: knowledge as an indirect representation of a reality rather than knowledge as a direct relationship with reality. This shift from oracy to literacy involved losses as well as gains. We end with a case study suggesting that digitally mediated education might be able to include more of the relationship and connectedness that is of value in oral education systems whilst continuing to support the greater reach and power of print literacy.

An AI-Powered Teacher Assistant for Student Problem Behavior Diagnosis - Chen, Penghe; Lu, Yu (AI in Learning: Designing the Future, 2023)
Student problem behavior refers to the students’ undesirable conducts and actions in schools. These behaviors severely affect students’ growth and development. In many cases, student problem behaviors are caused by the unsatisfied psychological needs, which are defined as the need deficiency. Hence, diagnosing students’ need deficiencies and regulating their problem behaviors are important educational tasks. The previous psychological studies have analyzed how distinct factors might affect student’s problem behaviors. However, the school teachers without such expertise may still encounter difficulties in applying these findings. Hence, this chapter describes the process of designing and implementing an intelligent teacher assistant, which could advise teachers and help them to handle the student problem behavior. Technically, it utilizes a task-oriented dialogue system to help identify the underlying reasons (i.e., the student need deficiency) behind their problem behaviors, and accordingly relies on a community question answering system to provide the advice. It also employs the semantic search technology to find the similar cases that have been well resolved by the experienced teachers.

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

Ambientes online na profissionalização de professores em Cabo Verde: um projeto de investigação ação - Mendonça, Adriana (Universidade do Minho, 2014)
A introdução de ambientes online nas práticas docentes no ensino superior, tem-se afigurado numa necessidade um pouco por todo o mundo. Nesta investigação apresenta-se uma dessas iniciativas desenvolvidas na universidade de Cabo Verde (Uni-CV), no Departamento de Ciências Sociais e Humanas (DCSH). A Uni-CV conta com oito anos de existência, encontrando-se ainda na caminhada para a inclusão digital, a par do que ocorre no arquipélago cabo-verdiano. Mesmo com limitações, luta-se para alcançar os desafios da infoinclusão, nomeadamente através de programas como o Mundu Novu. É com esta preocupação que se trabalhou com estudantes finalistas em Ciências da Educação – Percurso de Desenvolvimento Pessoal e Social - futuros docentes da disciplina, do ensino secundário, de Formação Pessoal e Social/Educação para os Direitos Humanos e Cidadania. Isto para vivenciarem na sua formação inicial uma experiência inovadora, no período de estágio pedagógico, que enriquecesse a sua vivência e contribuísse para ampliar a sua visão sobre o potencial pedagógico dos ambientes online. Assim, a preocupação central da investigação foi perceber que desafios coloca a integração dos ambientes online nos processos de profissionalização dos docentes do Ensino Secundário em Cabo Verde, bem como compreender o espaço dos ambientes online nesse processo. Para tal, propôs-se compreender como é que as orientações legais e representações dos sujeitos estão a ser compreendidas pela Uni-CV, procurando-se simultaneamente contribuir com a organização de conteúdos formativos destinados aos estagiários e seus orientadores, de forma a contribuir para o aprofundamento das suas competências e simultaneamente criar um referencial indicativo de áreas prioritárias de formação em contexto de profissionalização para os professores de ensino secundário em Cabo Verde. Neste sentido levou-se a cabo um projeto de investigação ação, de natureza descritiva, com caráter eminentemente qualitativo, no âmbito do qual se concebeu e se implementou o b-curso: SuperVisão de estágio. Para a realização, com sucesso, desta investigação, foi necessário recorrer a diversas técnicas de recolha de dados em distintos momentos do processo, designadamente questionários, entrevistas (semi estruturadas e informais na modalidade individual e em focus group), observações participante e não participante, conversas e observações informais. Procedeu-se à análise estatística e de conteúdo com recurso ao Nvivo10 e ao Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) garantindo uma triangulação destes que permitiu inferir da vontade dos parte dos participantes em ganharem destrezas no uso das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) e na exploração dos ambientes online, revelando-se altamente motivados para a formação nos domínios, por eles, identificados como prioritários, a saber: TIC e ambientes online, planificação em educação, designadamente formulação de objetivos e competências em educação, estratégias e recursos pedagógicas. Tais domínios são percecionados como meio de desenvolvimento das competências científicas, técnicas e transversais no seu processo de profissionalização. Foi possível aferir, a partir dos resultados de investigação, que houve um considerável aumento do acesso à Internet pelos participantes. A par disso, também se verificou que a Uni-CV não dispõe, ainda, de condições técnicas e tecnológicas ideais para o desenvolvimento deste tipo de ações, com recurso a ambientes online. Porém, o recurso à Moodle no estágio pedagógico garantiu mais autonomia e flexibilidade ao estagiário, bem como ajudou-o na partilha quer de informações, quer de ansiedades, pelo que destacaram como atividades preferenciais, fóruns, o acesso a informações em diversos formatos, livro interativo e glossários. Como principais ganhos identificou-se o maior acesso a conteúdos específicos para trabalho na disciplina dinamizada pelos estagiários, bem como o feedback imediato facultado pela docente/investigadora e alguns colegas de estágio. As principais limitações relacionam-se com a duração do estágio (apenas quatro meses), o que limitou, nas atividades online, o envolvimento dos estagiários e seus orientadores, impossibilitando inclusivamente a participação destes últimos, bem como a evolução reflexiva na prática pedagógica. A estas dificuldades acresce a dificuldade de resposta da Uni-CV em facultar as condições ideais para que este b-curso decorresse com menos pressão. Apesar das dificuldades vivenciadas, entende-se que esta experiência contribuiu para que estes estagiários saíssem muito mais enriquecidos da sua formação académica inicial, pois, ainda que por pouco tempo, tiveram a possibilidade de “mergulharem no mundo digital”, de uma forma em que não o poderiam fazer sem que esta experiência ocorresse. Estes futuros professores interiorizam a necessidade de integração das TIC e dos ambientes online nas suas rotinas diárias e a necessária aprendizagem destas nas suas aprendizagens profissionais na perspetiva de formação ao longo da vida. Foi possível comprovar que, não obstante as dificuldades, é possível realizar uma prática pedagógica mediada por ambientes online na Uni-CV, desde que profissionais e gestores estejam cientes do seu potencial e procurem desenvolver as condições ideais para a sua exploração e desenvolvimento na Instituição, procurando envolver todas as forças ativas de modo a reunir sinergias e contribuir para o seu sucesso. A infoinclusão assumiria, aqui, um papel relevante na prossecução dos objetivos dos participantes neste processo da prática pedagógica, tornando-o ainda mais desafiador, para uns e para outros no âmbito das políticas e práticas da profissionalização docente em Cabo Verde.

Alternatives towards achieving Education For All (EFA): a case of the informal sector business institute (ISBI), Nairobi, Kenya - Momanyi, C (2015)
In 1948 the United Nations declared that everyone has a right to education in the universal declaration of human rights. Education for All (EFA) is an international initiative first launched in Jomtien, Thailand, in 1990 to bring the benefits of education to “every citizen in every society’. To realize this aim, governments, civil society groups, and development agencies such as UNESCO and the World Bank have joined hands to achieve the EFA goals. Kenya is signatory to education for all initiative. Achieving the Education for All goals is critical for simultaneously attaining all 8 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The EFA strategies include the establishment of a policy on the re-entry of school-age mothers into the education system and the establishment of a non-formal education unit in the Ministry of Education Science and Technology. The recent implementation of free primary and secondary education is an effort by the government of Kenya to attain Universal primary Education (UPE) and the final attainment of EFA and MDGs. There are many suggestions both at the local and international levels on how to achieve this goal. Non-formal education and Technical and vocational education are some of the alternatives towards EFA, they lead participants to acquire practical skills in a particular occupation. Non formal education is flexible as more people who are out of the formal education system acquire skills. Strathmore Educational Trust (SET), a Public Charitable Trust incorporated in Kenya, established to promote educational initiatives started the Informal Sector Business Institute (ISBI) in 2004; a Non-formal education initiative to train jua kali artisans in ICT and business skills. Since its inception, more than 10,000 people have been trained in various skills. Data collected from artisans who have undergone the ISBI training showed that the artisans trained at ISBI are better than those form the same area that have not undergone the same training.

Aligning the principles of assessment for learning to learning in physical education: A review of literature - Moura, André; Graça, Amândio; MacPhail, Ann; Batista, Paula (Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2021)
Background: A comprehensive international literature review on alternative assessment in physical education has been provided by López-Pastor et al. ([2013]. “Alternative Assessment in Physical Education: A Review of International Literature.” Sport, Education & Society 18 (1): 57–76). The authors remarked that while more authentic forms of assessment in physical education have been evidenced over the last three decades, the extent to which alternative assessment practices have become common practice in the teaching of physical education is yet to be established.Purpose: This review provides an updated perspective on the prevalence of assessment for learning (AfL) principles in physical education discourse since the 2013 publication. The intent is to inform and consider future AfL practices in school physical education and physical education teacher education (PETE) programmes.Methods: Eligibility criteria for the review required full-text articles written in English or Spanish; published (open access and/or in print) in peer-reviewed, academic and professional journals; and limited to the period 2013–2019. Inclusion criteria required articles to report assessment being used to promote learning in physical education, regardless of making reference to ‘assessment for learning’.Findings: Fifty-two articles met the inclusion criteria. A thematic analysis of these articles resulted in four themes: i) traditional positioning of assessment in physical education; ii) AfL and physical education; iii) the constraints in enacting AfL in physical education; and iv) how to most effectively embed AfL in daily physical education practices.Conclusions: The main conclusions of this review are that i) AfL is a learning-oriented assessment based on socio constructivist theories and integrated into the teaching-learning process, ii) physical education teachers continue to use assessment solely to grade students; iii) physical education teachers do not have the necessary skillset to use AfL in physical education successfully; iv) physical education teachers need to be supported to implement AfL; and v) it is necessary to consider how best PETE programmes can infuse AfL across the programme.

AI-Supported Simulation-Based Learning: Learners’ Emotional Experiences and Self-Regulation in Challenging Situations - Ruokamo, Heli; Kangas, Marjaana; Vuojärvi, Hanna; Sun, Liping; Qvist, Pekka (AI in Learning: Designing the Future, 2023)
This study explores learners’ emotional experiences and self-regulation and how they overcome stressful situations in a simulation-based learning environment (SBLE). We also examine what kinds of situations an AI tutor could be used to facilitate simulation-based learning. We will first present the theoretical background of the research dealing with self-regulated learning, followed by positive and negative emotions and situations in simulation-based learning. The research questions of the study are as follows: (1) What kinds of emotions do learners experience in simulation-based learning situations? (2) Through what kinds of SRL operations do learners aim to overcome challenging situations during simulation-based learning? and (3) In what kinds of situations could an AI tutor be used to facilitate simulation-based learning? To collect data, a 1-week experiment was conducted in August 2021. The data was collected using online observations, video recordings, and delayed stimulated recall interviews. The interview data was analyzed through a deductive thematic analysis process. The results of the study show that learners experienced various positive and negative emotions and emotions are deeply connected with learning. We need to do more research to describe these connections in more detail. According to the results, an AI tutor can provide help for decision-making and visualizing critical points and help learners ask questions to check vital points in the system.

This paper discusses the effectiveness of leveraging Chatbot: Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) versions 3.5 and 4 for analyzing research papers for effective writing of scientific literature surveys. The study selected the Application of Artificial Intelligence in Breast Cancer Treatment as the research topic. Research papers related to this topic were collected from three major publication databases Google Scholar, Pubmed, and Scopus. ChatGPT models were used to identify the category, scope, and relevant information from the research papers for automatic identification of relevant papers related to Breast Cancer Treatment (BCT), organization of papers according to scope, and identification of key information for survey paper writing. Evaluations performed using ground truth data annotated using subject experts reveal, that GPT-4 achieves 77.3% accuracy in identifying the research paper categories and 50% of the papers were correctly identified by GPT-4 for their scopes. Further, the results demonstrate that GPT-4 can generate reasons for its decisions with an average of 27% new words, and 67% of the reasons given by the model were completely agreeable to the subject experts.

Affordances, challenges, and impact of open pedagogy: examining students’ voices - Baran, Evrim; AlZoubi, Dana (Distance Education, 2020)
Open pedagogy has emerged as an important teaching and learning practice while the current global open education resources movement has developed. The present research addresses the need to develop and conceptualize open pedagogy models in higher education contexts. This case study examined student perspectives on the affordances, challenges, and impact of an open pedagogy approach implemented within the context of three higher education courses. Various renewable assignments were integrated into face-to-face, blended, and online courses. Data sources consisted of reflection reports and semi-structured interviews conducted with 13 student participants. The qualitative analysis revealed six themes that conceptualized student engagement with open pedagogy: content curation, peer feedback, community engagement, development, reflection, and scaffolding. We discuss the impact of these practices on the participating students’ knowledge and awareness of open access and student agency. The results present an open pedagogy in action model with recommendations for future research and practice.

Affordance Theory - Wegerif, Rupert; Major, Louis (The Theory of Educational Technology, 2023)
The theory of affordances has been widely applied in studies of educational technology. In particular, it has been suggested that different education technologies ‘afford’ different kinds of teaching and learning. In this chapter, we look back to the origin of affordance theory in the work of perceptual psychologist James Gibson. We then offer a brief history of how affordance has been adapted and applied to educational technology. It has been suggested that the concept of affordances is too loose to be useful. This is perhaps because the affordances for action and for thought that any technology has not only depend on the technology, but also on how the user responds to the technology. We discuss the need to design the cultures and norms that shape user responses in addition to designing the technology itself. We offer an example to suggest that affordance theory can be particularly useful for educational design-based research that moves iteratively between the perspective of users and the perspective of the technology.

Advancing the Global Agenda for Human Rights, Vulnerable Populations, and Environmental Sustainability - Alfred, Mary V.; Robinson, Petra A.; Roumell, Elizabeth A. (IAP, 2021)
For over 70 years, the United Nations has worked to advance human conditions globally through its historic agenda for a more peaceful, prosperous, and just world. Through the work of the General Assembly and other programs like the UNESCO World Conferences on Adult Education, the organization has taken a leading role in bringing world leaders together to dialogue on world issues and to set agendas for advancing social and economic justice among and within the regions of the world. The underlying themes of the United Nations’ agenda over the years have been world peace, economic justice, addressing the needs of the world’s most vulnerable populations, and protecting the environment. We draw from the two last two declarations from which the Millennium Development Goals (September 2000) and the Sustainable Development Goals (September 2015) were adopted by world leaders with a focus on addressing the needs of the most vulnerable populations. In this declaration, world leaders committed to uphold the long-standing principles of the organization and to combat extreme poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy, environmental degradation and discrimination and violence against women. The overall objective of the book is to highlight the conditions of vulnerable populations from various contexts globally, and the role adult and higher education can play (and is playing) in advancing the United Nations agenda of social and economic justice and environmental sustainability. Adult education, through research, teaching, and service engagements is contributing to this ongoing effort but as many scholars have noted, our work remains invisible and undocumented. Therefore, this book highlights adult education’s critical partnership in addressing these global issues. It will also begin to fill the void that exists in adult education literature on internationalization of the field.

Advancing Social Justice for Asylum Seekers and Refugees in the UK: An Open Education Approach to Strengthening Capacity through Refugee Action’s Frontline Immigration Advice Project - Charitonos, Koula; Rodriguez, Carolina Albuerne; Witthaus, Gabi; Bossu, Carina (Journal of Interactive Media in Education, 2020)
Britain’s asylum system fails the most vulnerable; it cannot ensure that people who are least able to protect themselves are provided with the legal assistance that they require to cope with the challenges with which they are inevitably faced. Against this background, the charity Refugee Action developed the Frontline Immigration Advice Programme (FIAP), a technology-supported capacity strengthening programme that aims to increase access to justice for those going through the asylum system in the UK. This paper is concerned with the design and implementation of the FIAP as a free digitally enabled programme that provides learning opportunities for organisations and frontline workers in the refugee sector and supports them in developing new forms of legal practice. It provides empirical data from interviews with members of staff from six participating organisations in the FIAP, and from Refugee Action and the Office of the UK’s Immigration Services Commissioner1 (n = 21). The paper adopts a view on social justice, which according to Fraser (2005) is understood as ‘parity of participation’. We draw on Fraser’s work, as well as work of other scholars such as Lambert (2018) and Hodgkinson-Williams and Trotter (2018) to explore the relationship between social justice and open education by taking into consideration the context within which organisations and professionals operate. The analysis highlights six dimensions for social justice approaches for professional learning as demonstrated through the case of the FIAP: i. deliberate iterative design; ii. access to provision; iii. flexibility of provision; iv. development of resources; v. support and vi. advancing knowledge and skills whilst adapting the workplace. All these dimensions are discussed in the paper in relation to the concept of openness and are critical in developing open socially just programmes that aim to change work practice and address the needs of the most vulnerable.

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

Adoption of Self-Directed Learning: A Case Study of Kenya Jua Kali Sector - Muli, Elizabeth M.; Opiyo, Elisha T.O.; Oboko, Robert O. (2019 IST-Africa Week Conference, IST-Africa 2019, 2019)
© 2019 The authors. This study examines the state of the Education sector in Kenya with regard to provision of education to all. There is a remarkable progress in education reforms, however, cohort analysis from standard 1 to university education indicates that only 2% of pupils who enrol for standard 1 actually progress to 1st year of university education. Cumulatively, this wastage has led to a remarkable loss of potential human resource in the country. It is in the light of this the Government of Kenya has embarked on a series of reforms to address these challenges and meet the goals of the Kenya Vision 2030. The Education sector lacks alternate pathways to promote lifelong learning for those who drop out of formal education for some reasons and would wish to pursue further education later in life. These people end up in the Jua Kali sector. This study explores the potential of self-directed learning to give a second chance and provide learning opportunities to youths and young adults in this sector. This will equip them with necessary skills to manage their small businesses profitably.

Adoption of AI-Chatbots to Enhance Student Learning Experience in Higher Education in India - Sandu, Nitirajsingh; Gide, Ergun (2019 18th International Conference on Information Technology Based Higher Education and Training (ITHET), 2019)
Today, every organisation depends on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for the efficient service delivery and cost-effective application of technological resources. With growing preference towards faster services and acceptance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) based tools in business operations globally as well as in India, the global Chatbot market is going to accelerate in the next decade. In the era of AI, the Chatbot market is witnessing extraordinary growth with the increased demand for smartphones and increased use of messaging applications. In the past few years, the food delivery business, finance and the E-commerce industry have embraced Chatbot technology. One of the industries which can really benefit from using this technology is the educational sector. Education can benefit from Chatbot development. It can improve productivity, communication, learning, efficient teaching assistance, and minimize ambiguity from interaction. A new education platform can solve next-level problems in education using this technology as the engagement tool. The aim of this research paper is to find out the factors which affect the adoption of Chatbot technology in order to enhance the student learning experience in the Indian higher education sector. In this research, a Quantitative method is used through data collection from surveys of some of the prominent higher education institutes using Chatbot technology in India. It is expected that the research outcome will help Chatbot developers and higher education providers to better understand the requirements of students while providing an interactive learning and communication platform for them.

Adoption and Impact of OER in the Global South - Chapter summaries - Hodgkinson-Williams, Cheryl (2018)
Education in the Global South faces several key interrelated challenges for which Open Educational Resources (OER) are seen to be part of the solution and against which use of OER might be evaluated. These challenges include: unequal access to education; variable quality of educational resources, teaching and student performance; and increasing cost and concern about the sustainability of education. The Research on Open Educational Resources for Development (ROER4D) project was a four-year research initiative to investigate in what ways and under what circumstances the adoption of OER could address the increasing demand for accessible, relevant, high quality and affordable education in the Global South. The project was comprised of 18 sub-projects, the findings from which are captured as chapters in the edited volume, Adoption and Impact of OER in the Global South. The summaries presented here provide an overview of chapters’ study contexts, methodological approaches, key findings and recommendations, as well as links to accompanying open datasets. Of the total 16 chapters, 12 are based on sub-project findings and four are synthesis and overview chapters. The chapters are organised into five main sections: Overview, South America, Sub-Saharan Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and Conclusion. Within these broader sections, chapters are presented in sequence according to whether the research addresses basic or higher education.

Adjusting the use of preprints to accommodate the ‘quality’ factor in response to COVID-19 - Teixeira da Silva, Jaime A. (Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 2021)
Preprints are typically crude precursors of peer-reviewed papers that are placed almost immediately, save for some superficial screening, on an open-access repository to allow the information to reach readers quickly, circumventing the long-drawn process typically associated with processing in peer-reviewed journals. For early-career researchers who might be enthusiastic about obtaining some recognition for their efforts, or wanting open and public input about their work, preprints are certainly a useful publication choice. However, if health-related data and information have not been carefully scrutinised, they may pose a risk and may even serve as a source of public health misinformation. Surging growth and competition among preprint servers, coupled with a massive volume of COVID-19-related preprints, mainly on bioRxiv and medRxiv, as well as select indexing now being tested on PubMed, suggests that preprints are being increasingly used in the biomedical sciences. Stronger and more robust ethical policies are needed to screen preprints before they are released to the public, and even if this implies a slight delay in publication, it may increase academics' trust in this form of scientific information and communication. Clear and stringent ethical policies need to be urgently introduced by ethics groups such as COPE and the ICMJE, whose many member journals allow preprints to be posted before traditional peer review. Stringent ethical guidelines that treat misconduct equally in preprints and peer-reviewed papers will boost the integrity of academic publishing.

ADHD symptoms and the teacher–student relationship: a systematic literature review - Ewe, Linda Plantin (Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties, 2019)
This systematic review integrates the existing literature regarding relationships that students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have with their teachers, in mainstream inclusive primary, secondary and high school settings. Theoretical approaches and methodical choices were considered in understanding the literature and considering possible research areas. The methods used in the reviewed literature show that investigations in this research field have predominantly used quantitative surveys. Several theoretical approaches have been used, with attachment theory the most-prominent. The findings indicate students with ADHD generally feel less close to their teacher than do their non-ADHD peers, which agrees with the teachers’ perceptions. Thus, teachers experience less emotional closeness, less co-operation and more conflicts in their relations with their students with ADHD than with other students. Teachers’ rejection of ADHD students poses a risk factor for not only school failure, but also peer exclusion and rejection, leading to low self-esteem and loneliness.

Adequacy of the Regular Early Education Classroom Environment for Students With Visual Impairment - Brown, Cherylee M.; Packer, Tanya L.; Passmore, Anne (The Journal of Special Education, 2013)
This study describes the classroom environment that students with visual impairment typically experience in regular Australian early education. Adequacy of the classroom environment (teacher training and experience, teacher support, parent involvement, adult involvement, inclusive attitude, individualization of the curriculum, physical environment, and vision aids) for students with visual impairment in early regular education was assessed at the start and the end of one year. A total of 20 students with visual impairment (age M = 5.4 years) attending regular early education participated. In general, teacher-reported curriculum individualization and the physical environment were adequate. However, support provided for staff, teacher training, adult involvement, access to visual aids, and inclusive attitudes were less than adequate. More than 40% of students experienced fewer than four out of nine adequate environmental features. These results indicate that strategies to improve teacher training, support, attitudes, and access to vision aids are needed.

Addressing the challenge of scholarship and industry currency in vocational education: a pilot - Everingham, Nancy; McLean, David; Mancini, Jane; Mitton, Amber; Williams, Melanie (International Journal of Training Research, 2018)
This paper explores a pilot project in which three VET teachers in an Australian dual-sector university trialled a scholarship framework by undertaking a small ethnographic inquiry into current practices in their respective industries. The framework defined a method for engaging with industry while simultaneously developing VET teacher capability in scholarly practice. The teachers were asked to reflect on their experience of engaging in a scholarly project and how new knowledge has been incorporated into their teaching and curriculum design. The reflections were analysed using the indicators of scholarly quality from the self-same framework, and the key enabling factors and benefits were identified. The claimed success of the pilot is traced primarily to having a framework that provided a logical guide for the planning and execution of the projects and institutional support in the form of mentoring and paid time release.

Addressing Online Violence Against Women and Girls in the Commonwealth Pacific Region: The Role of Bystanders - Secretariat, Commonwealth (Commonwealth iLibrary, 2023)
This report focuses on the role of online bystanders in reducing online violence against women and girls (VAWG), including consideration of any related policies or laws. Given the relatively recent emergence of bystanders as potential facilitators and exacerbators of online crime, policy responses have tended to focus on the virtual versions of existing physical crimes, such as ‘cyber’ bullying and ‘cyber’ stalking, and/or the dissemination of intimate images online (when previously they might have been posted on a physical bulletin board). Moreover, these policy responses have tended to focus on capturing perpetrators, but not bystanders, within a legislative framework.

Addressing Online Violence Against Women and Girls in the Commonwealth Europe Region: The Role of Bystanders - Secretariat, Commonwealth (Commonwealth iLibrary, 2023)
This report contributes to the Commonwealth study on online violence against women and girls (OVAWG) and considers the prevalence of online violence and the role of bystanders as well as therelevant laws, institutions, policies and practices to address the problem in the European region of the Commonwealth, namely Cyprus, Malta and the United Kingdom of Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) and Northern Ireland (UK). The report highlights the complex nature of OVAWG and the difficulties associated with differences in terminology resulting in inconsistent data collection and varied legal responses across the European region of the Commonwealth. It also details the role of bystanders and their criminal or civil liability that, it argues, are relatively new considerations in the OVAWG space. An understanding of the nature and presentation ofOVAWG is required by bystanders, including the impact on victims to drive action.

Addressing Online Violence Against Women and Girls in the Commonwealth Caribbean and the Americas: The Role of Bystanders - Secretariat, Commonwealth (Commonwealth iLibrary, 2023)
The purpose of this report is to map the prevalence of online violence against women and girls, with a particular focus on so-called innocent bystanders and the state of laws, institutions, policies and practices within the Caribbean and Americas regionof the Commonwealth (Canada). Cyberviolence against women and girls in the Commonwealth countries of the Caribbean and Americas (Canada) is recognised as a serious problem, and measures are being taken to address it. The prevalence of cyberviolence in terms of its root causes and impacts is gender based, with a disproportionate impact on females and marginalised individuals where there is also intersectionality of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, poverty, disability and other socioeconomic factors. Similar types of violence against women and girls often occur in both offline and online spheres or originate in one sphere and carried through into the other. In the most serious cases, cyberviolence can lead to physical assaults and even suicide.

Online violence is increasing rapidly and is emerging as one of the biggest threats facing the online world today. Acts of online violence take multiple forms, including cyberstalking, cyberbullying, sexual harassment, sex trolling, doxing, hate speech, public shaming and intimidation. Broadly speaking, online violence against women and girls and the victimisation pattern in Commonwealth Asia member countries are consistent with the overall global trend. However, given unique formal and informal institutions in these countries, perpetration and victimisation related to OVAWG have many significant aspects that are different from most other countries in the world. As a result of underdeveloped regulations and regulatory infrastructure related to OVAWG, it is difficult to arrest, prosecute and convict the perpetrators in most of these countries. Meanwhile, societal norms tend to make victims of OVAWG feel devalued and excluded.

Addressing Injustices through MOOCs: A study among peri-urban, marginalised, South African youth - Adam, Taskeen (University of Cambridge, 2020)
The legacies of colonial rule continue to impact everyday life, particularly in education. These structural inequalities are often reinforced and amplified in online ‘global’ education through a form of digital neocolonialism, which is where hegemonic powers indirectly control or influence marginalised groups through the internet or information technology. In striving for justice-oriented online education models, this study analyses to what extent Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), produced both internationally and locally, support (or could support) the needs, preferences, and aspirations of marginalised South African youth and address the material, cultural-epistemic, political, and geopolitical injustices they face. To evaluate what South African peri-urban youth desire in their education and futures, as well as the challenges they experience, a seven-part survey was conducted with 250 youth from five townships in South Africa. Responses showed that whilst participants strongly value and aspire to further their education, financial difficulties, infrastructural barriers, family problems, and lack of emotional support and life mentorship limit them from achieving this. Participants reflected on how colonial and apartheid legacies have affected their educational experiences and identities through inferior quality of education, forced languages, forgotten histories and incongruent values, cultural norms and practices. In parallel, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 35 MOOC designers, from South Africa and the USA, to investigate the ways in which efforts, if any, were being made to reach students most in need of quality education. Interviews covered themes of openness, accessibility, and justice. It was found that, depending on the MOOC designer’s understanding of social justice and decolonial thought, they placed varying emphasis on addressing different forms of injustice. Some focused on resource, access and infrastructural barriers, while others focused on issues of content relevance and knowledge production. Furthermore, MOOC designers’ attempts to address injustices strongly related to their own identities and lived experiences, highlighting the importance of plurality of thought and epistemic diversity in the producers of MOOCs. Drawing on the historical injustices and lived experiences of the youth, and the attempts to address injustices by the MOOC designers, it was ascertained that there is no one size-fits-all formula to creating equitable MOOCs. Rather, depending on the purpose and target audience of the MOOC, nuanced approaches to addressing injustices are suggested. These approaches are shaped by various leverage points that influence the types of, and the extent to which, participatory methods, accessibility measures, knowledge sources, assessment and critical pedagogy are implemented. Additionally, the importance of these leverage points varies over the MOOC’s lifecycle, from inception and design, to implementation and assessment. Bearing in mind the broad-ranging injustices that youth participants raised, these approaches are presented with great caution that educational technologies and open education are not panaceas but if designed and used appropriately and justly, can be tools for liberation.

Adapting implementation science for higher education research: the systematic study of implementing evidence-based practices in college classrooms - Soicher, Raechel N.; Becker-Blease, Kathryn A.; Bostwick, Keiko C. P. (Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2020)
Finding better ways to implement effective teaching and learning strategies in higher education is urgently needed to help address student outcomes such as retention rates, graduation rates, and learning. Psychologists contribute to the science and art of teaching and learning in higher education under many flags, including cognitive psychology, science of learning, educational psychology, scholarship of teaching and learning in psychology, discipline-based educational research in psychology, design-based implementation research, and learning sciences. Productive, rigorous collaboration among researchers and instructors helps. However, translational research and practice-based research alone have not closed the translation gap between the research laboratory and the college classroom. Fortunately, scientists and university faculty can draw on the insights of decades of research on the analogous science-to-practice gap in medicine and public health. Health researchers now add to their toolbox of translational and practice-based research the systematic study of the process of implementation in real work settings directly. In this article, we define implementation science for cognitive psychologists as well as educational psychologists, learning scientists, and others with an interest in use-inspired basic cognitive research, propose a novel model incorporating implementation science for translating cognitive science to classroom practice in higher education, and provide concrete recommendations for how use-inspired basic cognitive science researchers can better understand those factors that affect the uptake of their work with implementation science.

Actividades y dinámicas implementadas con la tableta en un centro de educación básica de España - Sánchez-Martínez, Cristina; Ricoy, María-Carmen; Feliz-Murias, Tiberio (Educação e Pesquisa, 2018)
The permanent evolution of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) goes hand in hand with the generalization, relocation and globalization of the worldwide movement, as well as in favor of using these resources in different areas, including education. However, the development of experiences and researches about the use of tablets in classroom continues to be scarce in contexts where, in addition to other factors, there are difficulties to access or obtain the technology. Therefore, this case study aims to know the typology of activities related to the use of tablets, in the context of Elementary School and the resulting dynamics with the pupils of three classes of 1st, 3rd, and 5th grades (aged 6 through 11 years old) of an educational center located in Northwest Spain. This work is part of a qualitative research based on ethnographic-narrative approach; data collection utilized the observation technique and discussion groups. The results and conclusions show that the practices with tablets are episodic and influenced by the activities associated with traditional teaching. However, the researchers were able to detect some innovative dynamics based on the very tools provided by such devices, originating different indagating, ludic activities. On the other hand, the results point to small group work pattern (mainly in pairs) as the one mostly used when tablets are employed in the classroom.

Action research and the transfer of reflective approaches to in-service education and training (INSET) for unqualified and underqualified primary teachers in Namibia - O’Sullivan, Margo C. (Teaching and Teacher Education, 2002)
The literature on training approaches for both pre-service and in-service teacher training has been dominated since the 1980s by reﬂective approaches. This has undoubtedly inﬂuenced the relatively recent introduction of reﬂective approaches in developing countries. This article explores efforts, within an action research study of a 3-year (1995–1997) In-service Education and Training (INSET) programme, to implement reﬂective approaches in the training of unqualiﬁed and underqualiﬁed primary teachers in Namibia. The study raises ‘transfer’ questions concerning the appropriateness of reﬂective approaches, as conceptualised in western contexts, for these teachers. It led to the adaptation of these approaches and ultimately the development of an approach termed the ‘structured reﬂection’ approach, which was within the professional capability of the teachers to implement at the time of the study. Action research was used to develop this approach. r 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Acht gängige Temperatur- und Luftfeuchtesensoren im Vergleichstest - Bablok, Bernhard (Raspberry Pi Geek)
Wer viel misst, misst Mist. Gute Sensor-Breakouts sollten jedoch keine Fantasiewerte ausspucken. Wir testen acht Vertreter der Gattung. Die Verkabelung eines Sensors und das zyklische Auslesen der Werte gelingt leicht. Vermutlich hat Sie dabei schon einmal das Gefühl beschlichen, dass die merkwürdig hohen Zahlen nicht stimmen. Ein Zweitgerät macht die Verwirrung perfekt, denn Abweichungen von zwei Grad kommen durchaus vor. Schnell keimt dann der Verdacht auf, es mit einem schlechten Exemplar oder Billigware zu tun zu haben. Da fragt man sich, ob die mysteriös hohen Messwerte an schwachen Produkten liegen oder die Datenblätter nicht stimmen. Beiden Verdachtsmomenten gehen wir nach und versuchen ein paar Empfehlungen zu geben. Acht gängige Sensorbausteine in bis zu vier Exemplaren müssen sich dem Test stellen (Abbildung 1). Der Großteil davon stammt von Berrybase oder Pimoroni und befand sich teilweise schon länger in der Bastelkiste. Die Tabelle “Testkandidaten” gibt einen Überblick über Ausstattung, technische Werte und Preise. Neben der Temperatur messen viele der Sensoren die Luftfeuchte, die Bosch-Sensoren ermitteln zudem den Luftdruck. Der BMP280 kostet sehr wenig, was vermuten lässt, dass es sich um einen Billig-Klon handelt. Ein Exot in der Kandidatenliste ist der DS18B20: Er hat keine I2C-Schnittstelle und kommt nicht als Breakout, sondern als IC im TO-92-Format. Der Anschluss erfolgt per 1-Wire-Protokoll. Bei Tests wären viele Exemplare pro Produkt wünschenswert, was aus Kosten- und Zeitgründen nicht infrage kam. Wir schickten aber immer mindestens zwei Exemplare ins Rennen, mit Ausnahme des teuersten Sensors SHT45. Zudem decken die Produkte nicht alle Anwendungsszenarien ab. Möchten Sie etwa einen eigenen Lötofen bauen, brauchen Sie einen Sensor mit einem ganz anderen Temperaturbereich. An der Unterseite der Temperaturskala ist bei unserer Auswahl spätestens bei -40 Grad Celsius Schluss. Genauigkeit und Präzision In den Datenblättern tauchen die beiden Begriffe Genauigkeit und Präzision auf – hier besteht Verwechslungsgefahr. Die Genauigkeit bezeichnet die typische Differenz zum wahren Wert. Die Präzision informiert darüber, wie stark wiederholte Messungen desselben Werts schwanken. Die Werte in den Datenblättern lassen sich nur schwer vergleichen, da sie die Genauigkeit meist in den zwei Ausprägungen “typisch” und “maximal” angeben. Oft verwenden die Anbieter zusätzlich Grafiken. Allerdings sind diese Kurven ohne Zusatzinformationen unvollständig und lassen Interpretationsspielraum. Weder […]

Achieving teaching quality in sub-Saharan Africa: Empirical results from cascade training - Lange, Sarah; Benavot, Aaron (Springer VS, Wiesbaden, 2016)
© Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden 2016. Sarah Lange examines the effectiveness of cascade training, which constitutes a cost-effective training model in teacher training. In development cooperation countries, teaching quality is expected to improve with teacher professional development; for this purpose, she explores the effectiveness of training multipliers in schools in Cameroon. This research question is analysed with a design, which encompasses a questionnaire survey provided to teachers, students and principals as well as a teacher video survey and a student achievement test. The empirical results show the effects of cascade training on the learner-oriented teaching practice, if the trained teachers are supported in their role as change agents. Among the conditions for the conceptual quality and the implementation of cascade training, the continuity of school-based professional development is particularly emphasized in light of the results.

Achieving Community Development through an Agricultural Extension Programme: Technology Dissemination for Mushroom Farmers - Silva, Nilantha De; Wijeratne, Mahinda (Journal of Learning for Development, 2021)
Mushroom production is a small-scale business unit in rural areas. The Life Long Learning for Farmers (L3F) Programme aims to enhance the socio-economic conditions for them, increasing their access to and use of knowledge and technology. This study evaluates the outcomes of the L3F Programme at the community level. Data were collected through a pre-tested questionnaire survey. The sample consisted of 30 L3F farmers. Farmers’ achievement was assessed by the Farmer Performance Index (FPI). Results indicate that mushroom farmers have scaled up their production; have improved their productivity; designed new experiments to minimise the impact of pests and diseases; focused on environmental sustainability and scientific mushroom production; and improved the quality of packaging. The mobile app Bimmal Govi, blended with Information and Communication Technology, helped them to move with the latest technological advancements. The L3F Programme has increased the standards of mushroom production, helping the farmers become promising entrepreneurs.

Access to and Retention of Early School Leavers in Basic Technical Education in Kenya - Mwinzi, Dinah Changwony; Kelemba, Joy Kasandi (The Burden of Educational Exclusion, 2010)
Basic Technical Education in Kenya is fundamental to industrialization and national development (MSPNP, 2007). The objective of the reforms in Kenya is to improve access, equity and the quality and relevance of education and training at all levels. This chapter considers the revitalization of Youth Polytechnics (YPs) as a strategic approach to the development of technical competences in Kenya, especially for out-of-school youth. The YPs, which were once derided, have now become popular because of rising unemployment and many technological challenges in the workplace. Learners are admitted from different educational backgrounds, including those who left primary or secondary school early. The chapter provides a historical overview of basic technical education in Kenya, along with an analysis of early school leaving, the renewal of YPs, the Technical Industrial Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training (TIVET) initiative and a discussion of the issue of gender disparity. It finishes with a consideration of the challenges and dilemmas, which remain, followed by conclusions and recommendations.

Accelerated Reader as a Literacy Catch-Up Intervention during Primary to Secondary School Transition Phase - Siddiqui, Nadia; Gorard, Stephen; See, Beng Huat (Educational Review, 2016)
This paper describes an evaluation of an internet-based reading programme called Accelerated Reader (AR), which is widely used in UK schools and worldwide. AR is a whole-group reading management and monitoring programme that aims to stimulate the habit of independent reading among primary and secondary age pupils. The evaluation involved 349 pupils in Year 7 who had not achieved secure National Curriculum Level 4 in their Key Stage 2 results for English, randomised to two groups. The intervention group of 166 pupils was exposed to AR for 20 weeks, after which they recorded higher literacy scores in the New Group Reading Test (NGRT) post-test than the control group of 183 pupils ("effect" size of +0.24). The schools led the organisation and implementation of the intervention, and also conducted most elements of the evaluation, with advice from an expert external evaluation team. The process evaluation suggests that these schools were very capable of conducting evaluations of their own practice, given appropriate guidance.

Accelerated Middle School Programs: Preliminary Indicators of Long-Term Academic Benefits for Over-age Youth - Mollette, M.; Villa, B.; Cate, D. (Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk, 2020)
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, dropping out is a persistent problem among 15- to 24-year-olds. Researchers have noted school districts that have been able to improve graduation rates have often done so through the “development of innovative models and pathways that help young people get back on track to graduation” One such innovative model, an accelerated middle school intervention, is currently implemented across five middle schools in a large southeastern school district. The program targets students at-risk for dropping out based on characteristics such as age, mobility, poverty and previous retention in grade and allows them to complete both 8th and 9th grade requirements within one school year. To date, about 88% of students who completed the intervention during their last year of middle school were able to transition to high school as 10th grade students. This study presents findings from the students who completed this intervention between 2011–12 and 2015–16, representing the first five years the program was in existence. A quasi-experimental design is used to analyze outcomes related to attendance, course completion and graduation. Results indicate that students who complete the intervention are 34% more likely to graduate high school than the matched comparison group. However, no significant differences existed in student attendance rates while in high school. The findings indicate this program has the potential to improve graduation rates for students at-risk of dropping out provided the intervention occurs early enough in their academic career. © 2020, © 2020 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Accelerated Learning Programs for Out-of-School Girls: The Impact on Student Achievement and Traditional School Enrollment - Randall, Jennifer; O'Donnell, Francis; Botha, Sandra M. (FIRE: Forum for International Research in Education, 2020)
Within the context of post-conflict DRC, we examined the impact of the Accelerated Learning Program for out-of-school girls' on student learning outcomes and traditional school enrollment. We found that the vast majority of girls advanced through the levels as expected (80%) and, on average, improved their numeracy and literacy skills. The impact on traditional school enrollment was less definitive with the percent of girls who previously attended school, as well as the age of, remaining stable over time, but there was also an increasing trend in the percent of girls who were enrolled in school until the end of the last school year.

Academics who tweet: “messy” identities in academia - Budge, Kylie; Lemon, Narelle; McPherson, Megan (Journal of Applied Research in Higher Education, 2016)
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the growing use of Twitter in academic and artist practices. The authors explore commonalities, overlaps and differences within the reflections on the initial and ongoing motivations, usage and learnings the authors have encountered whilst immersed in this environment. Design/methodology/approach The authors locate the particular inquiry by drawing on the literature surrounding digital identities, academic literacies and digital scholarship. Departing from other studies, the focus is on a narrative inquiry of the lived experiences as academics and as artists using Twitter. Findings Academics use of Twitter plays a distinctly social role enabling communication that connects, and fostering accessible and approachable acts. It enables a space for challenging norms of academic ways of being and behaving. In addition, the authors draw conclusions about the “messiness” of the interconnected space that incorporates multiple identities, and highlight the risk taking the authors associate with using Twitter. Research limitations/implications Academic practice is ever changing in the contemporary university. This initial study of academic and artist practices and the use of Twitter suggests future developments including participants using similar questions to elicit notions of practice to engage in a deeper understanding of motivations and behaviours. Practical implications In using social media tools such as Twitter, individual academics and their practices are modified; the impact of this practice is visible. Originality/value The authors contribute to emerging discussions and understandings about academics, social media and identity. The authors argue that by participating in the use of Twitter, the authors are part of the collective process of challenging what it means to be an academic and artist.

Academia's responses to crisis: A bibliometric analysis of literature on online learning in higher education during COVID-19 - Zhang, Ling; Carter Jr., Richard Allen; Qian, Xueqin; Yang, Sohyun; Rujimora, James; Wen, Shuman (British Journal of Educational Technology, 2022)
This paper aimed to provide a holistic view of research that investigated online learning in higher education around the globe during COVID-19 utilizing a bibliometric analysis. The researchers used co-citation analysis and text mining afforded by VOSviewer to document and analyze research patterns and topics reported in peer-reviewed documents published between January 2020 and August 2021. Findings of this study indicated that scholars from 103 countries or regions from the Global North and Global South investigated a wide array of topics, such as use of various technologies and strategies, redesigned curriculum, student perceptions and psychological impacts of the pandemic-imposed online learning. Many researchers applied technology acceptance theories and structural equation modeling to investigate factors associated with adoption and impacts of the pandemic-imposed online learning. Of the large quantity of research, medical education and chemical education were the most investigated disciplines. Inquiry-based learning, discovery learning, hands-on learning and collaborative learning emerged as instructional approaches frequently discussed or utilized across the target studies. This paper discussed (a) ongoing and emerging challenges to online higher education, (b) placing innovative pedagogies at the forefront of online learning, and (c) rapid, but imbalanced distribution of evolving literature based on the findings. Practitioner notes What is already known about this topic Online learning had attracted growing traction as a flexible and affordable means to complement traditional higher education prior to COVID-19. Higher education institutions (HEIs), faculty and students around the globe have encountered various challenges and opportunities regarding online teaching and learning during COVID-19. What this paper adds A bird's-eye-view perspective of how HEIs around the globe responded to the pandemic-imposed online teaching and learning using the bibliometric methodology. Identifications of a large body of research (n = 1061 documents) conducted by scholars from 103 countries or regions that investigated the pandemic-imposed online higher education, indicating an unprecedented level of participation in this area. An analysis of distinct themes arising from research on the pandemic-imposed online learning, such as medical education and psychological impact, chemistry curriculum and laboratory-based instruction and technology acceptance model. Implications for practice and/or policy The large corpus of studies on online higher education from different aspects can provide cross-disciplinary information guiding future research and design of online learning. With technology often conceptualized as the solution to support online learning, it is imperative to put innovative pedagogy at the forefront of the design of online teaching and learning.

ABRA: Online Reading Support. Evaluation Report and Executive Summary - McNally, Sandra; Ruiz-Valenzuela, Jenifer; Rolfe, Heather (Education Endowment Foundation, 2016)
Abracadabra (ABRA) is a 20-week online literacy program composed of phonic fluency and comprehension activities based around a series of age-appropriate texts. Four 15-minute sessions per week are delivered by a teaching assistant (TA) to groups of three to five pupils. This report summarizes the findings of a randomized controlled trial assessing the impact of ABRA on literacy outcomes for Year 1 pupils. The trial also assesses the impact of an offline, paper and pencil version of the same intervention (referred to here at "the non-Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) intervention"). There were 51 participating schools and 2,241 pupils at randomization, and a total of 48 schools and 1,884 pupils were included in the final analysis (84% of the initial pupils at randomization). The trial took place between October 2014 and May 2015. Fifty-one schools were randomly assigned to either receive some version of the intervention or to act as a "control" school delivering business as usual. In the schools receiving the intervention, pupils were randomized to receive one of the following options: (1) ABRA, (2) the non-ICT intervention, and (3) standard literacy provision. The process evaluation involved observing sessions to understand a variety of factors in the intervention. These included an evaluation of which elements contributed to successful implementation, the perceptions and experiences of TAs and project leads, levels of pupil engagement, and the mechanisms behind the estimated impacts. This was an efficacy study, due to the involvement of the developer in the delivery of the program. Key conclusions of this report are: (1) The children who received ABRA, or its offline alternative were found to make two and three months' progress in literacy respectively compared to the children who received standard provision. This positive result would be unlikely to occur by chance; (2) For both ABRA and the offline alternative, the impact for children eligible for free school meals and children with below average pre-test outcomes was larger than for all pupils; (3) Successful implementation contributed to a well-designed and delivered training program which emphasized fidelity and consistency, enforced by ongoing support from the project team; (4) The process evaluation found that both the ICT and non-ICT interventions may be best delivered in groups of similar rather than mixed ability. The process evaluation also suggested minor changes to the intervention to make it more culturally relevant to British pupils, and to remove some repetition in the non-ICT program; and (5) Future research will examine whether ABRA or the non-ICT intervention can be successfully delivered at scale, and will look at longer-term impacts through assessing Key Stage 1 data from this trial.

A typology of reviews: an analysis of 14 review types and associated methodologies - Grant, Maria J.; Booth, Andrew (Health Information & Libraries Journal, 2009)
Background and objectives: The expansion of evidence-based practice across sectors has lead to an increasing variety of review types. However, the diversity of terminology used means that the full potential of these review types may be lost amongst a confusion of indistinct and misapplied terms. The objective of this study is to provide descriptive insight into the most common types of reviews, with illustrative examples from health and health information domains. Methods: Following scoping searches, an examination was made of the vocabulary associated with the literature of review and synthesis (literary warrant). A simple analytical framework—Search, AppraisaL, Synthesis and Analysis (SALSA)—was used to examine the main review types. Results: Fourteen review types and associated methodologies were analysed against the SALSA framework, illustrating the inputs and processes of each review type. A description of the key characteristics is given, together with perceived strengths and weaknesses. A limited number of review types are currently utilized within the health information domain. Conclusions: Few review types possess prescribed and explicit methodologies and many fall short of being mutually exclusive. Notwithstanding such limitations, this typology provides a valuable reference point for those commissioning, conducting, supporting or interpreting reviews, both within health information and the wider health care domain.

A Typology of Professional Learning Communities (PLC) for Sub-Saharan Africa: A Case study of Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, and Nigeria - Soares, Fernanda; Galisson, Kirsten; Laar, Mindel van de (African Journal of Teacher Education, 2020)
In the bid to improve teaching quality and promote an approach to teacher development that is grounded in the context in which teachers are inserted, Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) have become a popular alternative model of teacher professional development in many countries. PLCs, however, have been more widely studied in high-resource contexts. In a recognition that existing conceptualizations from the Western literature may not reflect how PLCs are functioning in developing countries, this research aims to inductively create a typology of PLCs that incorporates elements that might be specific to these countries, with a focus on Sub-Saharan Africa in general and based on the cases of Equatorial Guinea, Ghana and Nigeria in particular. This study employs a multimethod approach, encompassing document analysis, semi-structured interviews with PLC experts and expert validation. The resulting typology categorizes PLCs into three models - autonomous, structured and scripted. This typology of PLCs is further integrated with dimensions previously proposed by the Western literature to form one cohesive conceptual framework. By acknowledging PLC variability, we are able to incorporate into a framework modes of PLC operation that are specific to our case countries, and possibly to Sub-Saharan African and low- and middle-income countries more generally.

A typology and framework for professional learning communities (PLCs) in LMICs (R&E Search for Evidence, 2020)
Professional learning communities (PLCs) are an alternative approach to teacher professional development, especially in low-and-middle income countries (LMICs). Existing conceptualizations of PLCs in Western literature, however, don’t recognize that PLCs in LMICs may operate differently to reflect local contexts. In fact, much of the literature considers PLCs only school-based, organic initiatives and doesn’t acknowledge that PLCs in LMICs are often purposeful and part of broad educational reforms. A previous post describes this lack of evidence. In order to address this lack of evidence, we realized we first needed a conceptual understanding of PLCs, grounded in the realities of LMICs. So we conducted a study in Equatorial Guinea, Ghana and Nigeria to create a typology of PLCs in sub-Saharan Africa. We then combined our typology with existing conceptualizations to inform the design of a PLC framework. Our framework establishes conceptual foundations for future research and equips practitioners with guidance for designing and promoting PLCs. We describe our findings and the integrated conceptual framework we created in this post.

A topography of climate change research - Callaghan, Max; Minx, Jan C.; Forster, Piers M. (Nature Climate Change, 2020)
The massive expansion of scientific literature on climate change1 poses challenges for global environmental assessments and our understanding of how these assessments work. Big data and machine learning can help us deal with large collections of scientific text, making the production of assessments more tractable, and giving us better insights about how past assessments have engaged with the literature. We use topic modelling to draw a topic map, or topography, of over 400,000 publications from the Web of Science on climate change. We update current knowledge on the IPCC, showing that compared with the baseline of the literature identified, the social sciences are in fact over-represented in recent assessment reports. Technical, solutions-relevant knowledge—especially in agriculture and engineering—is under-represented. We suggest a variety of other applications of such maps, and our findings have direct implications for addressing growing demands for more solution-oriented climate change assessments that are also more firmly rooted in the social sciences2,3. The perceived lack of social science knowledge in assessment reports does not necessarily imply an IPCC bias, but rather suggests a need for more social science research with a focus on technical topics on climate solutions. The rapid growth of climate change research presents challenges for IPCC assessments and their stated aim of being comprehensive, objective and transparent. Here the authors use topic modelling to map the climate change literature, and assess how well it is represented in IPCC reports.
