Implemantation of the school programme of in service for the term (SPRINT) in selected basic schools of Chipata district of Zambia - Mwansa, Phillip (2010)
ABSTRACT The study was aimed at evaluating the implementation of the School Programme of In-service for the Term (SPRINT) in 10 sampled basic schools of Chipata District in the Eastern Province of Zambia. The specific objectives were to: assess the roles teachers and head teachers played in implementing SPRINT in basic schools; seek information on the challenges they faced; and find out ways of improving the implementation of School Programme of In-service for the Term (SPRINT) activities in basic schools. The research design used was a survey following quantitative and qualitative approaches. For triangulation purposes, other sources such as documentary analysis were employed. The study sample consisted of 119 respondents who were randomly selected from the population of all teachers, head teachers and school in-service coordinators of basic schools in Chipata District. Ninety nine (99) teachers and ten (10) head teachers completed questionnaires. Interviews were conducted with 10 School In-service Coordinators (SICs). Quantitative data were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and presented in form of tables of frequencies, percentages, bar graphs and pie charts. Interview and documentary analysis data were analysed qualitatively to come up with themes which were used to answer research questions. Findings indicated thatteachers, head teachers and School In-service Coordinators participated in INSET activities under the School Programme of In-service for the Term (SPRINT). Head teachers monitored the activities and teachers participated in planning for the activities. Effective implementation of SPRINT activities was hampered by: •Inadequate time, •Negative attitude of some teachers, •Low funding, •Inconsistency in monitoring and evaluation, •Lack of organisational and facilitation skills among school in-service coordinators, •Lack of school libraries, and •Inadequate equipment and educational materials at Teachers Resource Centres. Based on these findings, the following recommendations were made: There was need for extension in time for SPRINT activities; teachers needed to change their negative attitude towards INSET activities under SPRINT; school head teachers should regularly sensitize old and new teachers on government policy regarding school-based INSET activities through induction and/or orientation workshops. Government through the Ministry of Education should increase funding to school-based INSET programmes and assist schools to establish libraries, especially in rural and remote schools; School In-service Coordinators needed to be trained in organisational and facilitation skills and Teachers Resource Centres should be equipped with modern equipment and educational materials like computers, internet and library facilities to enable teachers to do research and get information required for their SPRINT meetings.

Impacts of Pre-Service Training and Coaching on Kindergarten Quality and Student Learning Outcomes in Ghana - Wolf, Sharon (Studies in Educational Evaluation, 2018)
Using a randomized-control trial, this study evaluates a program designed to support Ghanaian kindergarten student-teachers during pre-service training through mentorship and in-classroom training. Several potential barriers to improved teaching quality and learning outcomes are examined. Findings show that the program improved knowledge and implementation of the national curriculum for individuals both when they were student-teachers and, the following year, when they became newly qualified teachers (NQTs). There were mixed impacts on professional well-being, increasing personal accomplishment and motivation but decreasing job satisfaction for NQTs. There were mixed impacts on teaching quality, with increases in child-led learning but decreases in some other aspects of quality. There were no impacts on NQTs’ student learning outcomes. The findings highlight system level challenges with both the posting of NQTs and the absence of support in their first teaching year. Implications for global early childhood education policy and teacher education are discussed.

Impacts of Extreme Weather Events on Education Outcomes: A Review of Evidence - Venegas Marin, Sergio; Schwarz, Lara; Sabarwal, Shwetlena (The World Bank Research Observer, 2024)
Extreme weather events are increasingly disrupting schooling. Yet, these are underrepresented in the climate change literature. Of 15 review articles on the economic impacts of climate change published since 2010, only three mention the impacts of climate change on education. We review available literature on the effects of weather extremes on education. We outline key pathways through which these events impact education outcomes, as well as the magnitude of those impacts. Evidence implies a significant and adverse relationship between heat and learning. Studies suggest surpassing a high temperature threshold makes learning difficult and results in learning losses. Across studies, each additional day subject to extreme heat reduces learning. Tropical cyclones, floods, and wildfires precipitate school closures, which halt learning. Evidence suggests that one day of school closures leads to one day of learning lost. Weather extremes also negatively impact education outcomes through health, nutrition, poverty, and fragility, among other distal pathways. We discuss the implications of this evidence for policy, including the need to adapt education systems to climate change. Mitigation and adaptation are both urgently needed as extreme weather events become more frequent and severe in the context of climate change.

Impact of using cool paints on energy demand and thermal comfort of a residential building - Dias, Diana; Machado, João; Leal, Vítor; Mendes, Adélio (Applied Thermal Engineering, 2014)
This work studies the impact of using cool paints and/or thermal insulation on the thermal behavior and energy demand of a residential building. Buildings with thermal characteristics representing both old and new constructions are considered. The results were obtained using the dynamic computer simulator ESP-r. Recommendations for designers and/or house-owners in terms of deciding the best thermal comfort solution are withdrawn. For a case-study building in Portugal, in the summer, it was found that an increase in roof and façade value of total solar reflectance (TSR) from 50% to 92% reduced the maximum indoor free-float temperature between 2.0 °C and 4.7 °C in old construction (without thermal insulation), and between 1.2 °C and 3.0 °C in new construction (with thermal insulation). This had as a trade-off effect the decrease of the minimum indoor temperature of up to 1.5 °C. The results of annual energy demand for heating showed a maximum penalty of about 30% when using cool paints. However, it was demonstrated that the cooling demand almost vanishes, eliminating the need to install air-conditioning devices. The analysis of specific real hot weather time periods showed that the maximum altitude of the sun, which is related to the month of the year, determines the solution that originates the highest temperature reduction. As the maximum sun altitude decreases the cool paints show comparatively better results.

Impact of training on teachers competencies at higher education level - Aziz, Fakhra (Researchers World – Journal of Arts Science & Commerce, 2014)
The present survey study aimed to diagnose the impact of training on teachers competencies. The study was of descriptive nature. The Competencies of teachers having no training and trained teachers were compared. Teachers Competencies Measurement Scale (TCMS) was used to compare competencies of both cohorts. To measure the impact of FPDP (a training program) on teacher competencies three categories of competencies: pedagogical, assessment & management and research competencies were made. After applying descriptive statistics, t -test was used to find out the difference. Trained teachers showed a significant difference in pedagogical competencies, management and assessment competencies and research competencies. It depicts that in all the categories trained teachers were more competent than teachers having no training were The present study suggests that training program of this type should be continue to enhance the teachers competencies.

Impact of Pandemic COVID-19 on Education in India - Jena, Pravat (International Journal of Current Research, 2020)
The impact of pandemic COVID-19 is observed in every sector around the world. The education sectors of India as well as world are badly affected by this. It has enforced the world wide lock down creating very bad effect on the students' life. Around 32 crore learners stopped to move schools/colleges, all educational activities halted in India. The outbreak of COVID-19 has advised us that change is inevitable. It has worked as a catalyst for the educational institutions to grow and opt for platforms and techniques, which have not been used before. The education sector has been fighting to survive the crises with a different approach and digitising the challenges to wash away the threat of the pandemic. This paper highlights some measures taken by Govt. of India to provide seamless education in the country. Both the positive and negative impacts of COVID-19 are discussed and some fruitful suggestions are pointed to carry out educational activities during the pandemic situation.

To assess the impact of lockdown amidst COVID-19 on undergraduate and postgraduate learners of various colleges and universities of West Bengal. An online survey was conducted from 1 May to 8 May 2020 to collect the information. A structural questionnaire link using ‘Google form’ was sent to students’ through WhatsApp and E-mail. A total of 232 students provided complete information regarding the survey. The simple percentage distribution was used to assess the learning status of the study participants. During the lockdown period, around 70% of learners were involved in e-learning. Most of the learners were used android mobile for attending e-learning. Students have been facing various problems related to depression anxiety, poor internet connectivity, and unfavorable study environment at home. Students from remote areas and marginalized sections mainly face enormous challenges for the study during this pandemic. This study suggests targeted interventions to create a positive space for study among students from the vulnerable section of society. Strategies are urgently needed to build a resilient education system in the state that will ensure to develop the skill for employability and the productivity of the young minds.

Impact of Educational Technology on Teacher Stress and Anxiety: A Literature Review - Fernández-Batanero, José-María; Román-Graván, Pedro; Reyes-Rebollo, Miguel-María; Montenegro-Rueda, Marta (International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021)
Educational technology has become an increasingly important element for improving the teaching and learning process of students. To achieve these goals, it is essential that teachers have the skills they need to be able to introduce technology into their teaching practice. However, this is often overwhelming and stressful for many of them. The aim of this review was to find out how research on teacher stress and anxiety associated with the use of educational technology was proceeding. A systematic review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines through the following bibliographic databases: PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. Sixteen articles were found from the review. The main findings show that teachers present high levels of anxiety or stress due to their use of educational technology in the classroom. Among the conclusions, the need for research on different strategies to prevent the emergence of these anxiety and stress symptoms in teachers stands out.

Impact of Education Interventions for Working Children - Orrnert, Anna (2018)
Recent global estimates indicate that 152 million children – 64 million girls and 88 million boys – are engaged in child labour across the world (ILO 2017b: 8). According to these same estimates, 71% of child labourers work in the agricultural sector and 69% in unpaid work within their own family. Nearly half of all those in child labour are doing ‘hazardous work’ (ibid). According to the ILO, the total number of children in child labour has declined by about 94 million since 2000, although this trend has slowed significantly in recent years (ILO 2017a: 10). Four policy areas have been identified as key to tackling the problem of child labour: legal standards and regulation, social protection, labour markets and – the topic of this review – education. This report examines the available evidence on short and long-term impacts of interventions targeted at working children. The existing body of evidence on the impact of education interventions on children in work is mixed. There is a relatively substantial volume of research which examines the impacts of conditional cash transfers linked with children’s education. There is also a smaller body of evidence around the impact of financial incentives to children and their families (including scholarships and school subsidies). The evidence on other types of education interventions – such as provision of non-financial subsidies (for example, Food-for-Education or free transportation), improving quality of education as well as transitional or informal learning programmes for working children- is much more fragmented and patchy.

Impact of e-Learning Technology and Activity-Based Learning on Learning Outcomes: Experimental Evidence from Community Schools in Rural Zambia - Hoop, Thomas; Ring, Hannah; Siwach, Garima; Dias, Paula; Tembo, Gelson; Rothbard, Victoria; Toungui, Anaïs (2020)
We present experimental evidence on the impact of a multi-faceted program that integrates technology into education, provides ongoing teacher training and professional development, includes community ownership, and offers free primary education. Our setting is three districts in relatively impoverished areas of rural Zambia, where we randomly assigned the program across 30 treatment and 33 control schools. We compared all children who were eligible to enroll in first grade living near the 30 treatment schools with eligible children who lived near the 33 control schools 14 months after the program start. The results show that the program, on average, increased early grade reading scores with 0.40 standard deviations or 3.5 percentage points, early grade math scores with 0.22 standard deviations or 4.9 percentage points, the Zambian achievement test scores with 0.16 standard deviations or 3.1 percentage points, and oral vocabulary scores with 0.25 standard deviations or 6.0 percentage points for all children who were eligible to enroll in first grade during the baseline survey. Treatment Effects on the Treated showed substantially larger impacts on test scores of students who enrolled in Grade 1 (ranging from 0.26 to 0.68 standard deviations) and students who regularly attended the schools in Grade 1 (ranging from 0.32 to 0.83 standard deviations). Mixed-methods evidence suggested the positive effects were primarily driven by increase in school enrolment, improvements in the quality of education, increases in school attendance for both teachers and children, and strong fidelity of program implementation. Our results indicate that well-designed multi-faceted technology-aided instruction programs can improve learning outcomes even in the poorest areas of rural sub-Saharan Africa.

Impact of Coronavirus Pandemic on Education (Journal of Education and Practice, 2020)
Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) outbreak poses serious concerns to global education systems. Efforts to contain COVID-19 prompted unscheduled closure of schools in more than 100 countries worldwide. COVID-19 school closures left over one billion learners out of school. The study investigates the impact of COVID-19 on education. Data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to 200 respondents that consist of teachers, students, parents, and policy makers selected from different countries. The collected data were analyzed using STATA/Regression. The results show that COVID-19 has adverse effects on education including, learning disruptions, and decreased access to education and research facilities, Job losses and increased student debts. The findings also show that many educators and students relied on technology to ensure continued learning online during the Coronavirus pandemic. However, online education was hindered by poor infrastructures including, network, power, inaccessibility and unavailability issues and poor digital skills. The study underscores the damaging effects of COVID-19 on education sector and the need for all educational institutions, educators, and learners to adopt technology, and improve their digital skills in line with the emerging global trends and realities in education.

Impact of childhood screening for disability/impairment on education and learning - Rohwerder, Brigitte (2017)
Evidence indicates that disability is a leading cause of marginalisation in education, with enrolment, primary school completion and literacy rates consistently falling below those of non-disabled children, as children with disabilities are ‘less likely to attend or remain in school, have lower transition and completion rates and do not achieve the levels of results of their peers’ (Wapling, 2016, p. 3). A number of screening tools have been used in low and middle income countries, including in schools, to identify children at risk of disability and to direct them to appropriate help. However, as many children with disabilities are out of school, screening which takes place solely in schools may miss them. New and innovative screening technologies and tools are being developed, with the aim of overcoming some of the challenges faced in low and middle income countries. However, there appears to be very little evidence which looks at the impact of screening on education and learning outcomes of children with disabilities. A systematic review of education for children with disabilities in low and middle income finds that there is relatively little formal research which assesses strategies for ensuring quality education for children with disabilities, including in relation to impairment identification (Wapling, 2016, p. 3).

Immersive Virtual Reality in K-12 and Higher Education: A systematic review of the last decade scientific literature - Pellas, Nikolaos; Mystakidis, Stylianos; Kazanidis, Ioannis (Virtual Reality, 2021)
There has been an increasing interest in applying immersive virtual reality (VR) applications to support various instructional design methods and outcomes not only in K-12 (Primary and Secondary), but also in higher education (HE) settings. However, there is a scarcity of studies to provide the potentials and challenges of VR-supported instructional design strategies and/or techniques that can influence teaching and learning. This systematic review presents a variety of studies that provide qualitative and/or quantitative data to investigate the current practices with VR support focusing on students’ outcomes, performance, alongside with the benefits and challenges of this technology concerning the analysis of visual features and design elements with mobile and desktop computing devices in different learning subjects. During the selection and screening process, forty-six (n = 46) articles published from the middle of 2009 until the middle of 2020 were finally included for a detailed analysis and synthesis of which twenty-one and twenty-five in K-12 and HE, respectively. The majority of studies were focused on describing and evaluating the appropriateness or the effectiveness of the applied instructional design processes using various VR applications to disseminate their findings on user experience, usability issues, students’ outcomes, and/or learning performance. This study contributes by reviewing how instructional design strategies and techniques can potentially benefit students’ learning performance using a wide range of VR applications. It also proposes some recommendations to guide and lead effective instructional design settings in several teaching and learning contexts to outline a more accurate and up-to-date picture of the current state of literature.

Immersive virtual reality as a pedagogical tool in education: a systematic literature review of quantitative learning outcomes and experimental design - Hamilton, D.; McKechnie, J.; Edgerton, E.; Wilson, C. (Journal of Computers in Education, 2021)
The adoption of immersive virtual reality (I-VR) as a pedagogical method in education has challenged the conceptual definition of what constitutes a learning environment. High fidelity graphics and immersive content using head-mounted-displays (HMD) have allowed students to explore complex subjects in a way that traditional teaching methods cannot. Despite this, research focusing on learning outcomes, intervention characteristics, and assessment measures associated with I-VR use has been sparse. To explore this, the current systematic review examined experimental studies published since 2013, where quantitative learning outcomes using HMD based I-VR were compared with less immersive pedagogical methods such as desktop computers and slideshows. A literature search yielded 29 publications that were deemed suitable for inclusion. Included papers were quality assessed using the Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument (MERSQI). Most studies found a significant advantage of utilising I-VR in education, whilst a smaller number found no significant differences in attainment level regardless of whether I-VR or non-immersive methods were utilised. Only two studies found clear detrimental effects of using I-VR. However, most studies used short interventions, did not examine information retention, and were focused mainly on the teaching of scientific topics such as biology or physics. In addition, the MERSQI showed that the methods used to evaluate learning outcomes are often inadequate and this may affect the interpretation of I-VR’s utility. The review highlights that a rigorous methodological approach through the identification of appropriate assessment measures, intervention characteristics, and learning outcomes is essential to understanding the potential of I-VR as a pedagogical method.

“If I can be a helper, one day I be a boss”–A case study of informal apprenticeship in Lusaka - Ryan, S (2015)
Despite recent high levels of economic growth, many young people in Zambia are trapped by poverty, unemployment or underemployment, and lack of access to skills development opportunities. Vocational training institutions cannot accommodate the vast numbers of school leavers every year, and often charge fees that are prohibitive to young people from poorer families. Young people remain significantly overrepresented in Zambia’s unemployment statistics. For those that do manage to secure work, it is predominantly in the informal economy, which currently accommodates over 90 of employed Zambians. Zambia faces a clear challenge to translate the economic gains of the past few years into improved livelihood conditions and decent work outcomes. With over 46 per cent of the population being under the age of 15, there is an urgent need for programs that provide young people in particular with skills development and employment opportunities. In this climate, informal apprenticeships may offer young people access to both affordable training and future employment. Informal apprenticeship, as defined by the International Labour Organization (ILO), is a written or oral training agreement under which a master craftsperson (MC) provides an apprentice (a young person) with training in all skills relevant to a trade. An apprentice gains tacit skills by working alongside a master craftsperson in a micro or small enterprise in the informal economy. Informal apprenticeships are anchored in the norms and traditions of a society, which shape the obligations and incentives for MCs to train others, and for apprentices to seek this kind of training. Costs and benefits are shared between the apprentice and master craftsperson (ILO, 2012). This study seeks to identify the norms and characteristics of informal apprenticeship in Zambia’s capital city, Lusaka. The study aims to provide guidance on how informal apprenticeships in Zambia can be supported and strengthened within the ILO’s mandate to improve the quality of apprenticeships within the informal economy. The study also aims to contribute to ILO’s body of knowledge on informal apprenticeship, describing both the local specificities of informal apprenticeship in urban Zambia, and how the training relates to ILO’s broader findings on informal apprenticeship in Africa. This study found that training within the informal economy is widely undertaken in the Lusaka region. However, the informal institutional framework for apprenticeships in Lusaka’s informal economy is currently less well established, compared to informal apprenticeships in West Africa. Written contracts were found to be non-existent, and verbal training agreements were considerably undefined. There is no specific term used for apprentices within the informal economy – young people join businesses as othandiza (helpers), but this term may apply both to those in an apprenticeship role, and casual workers brought in for temporary work. This study also determined a variety of training arrangements within the informal economy including fluid models of group-based learning, whereby a young person may learn from several experienced craftspeople in a ‘cluster’ of selfemployed operators. Despite these issues, vast numbers of Zambian young people still gain skills through working and learning in informal economy enterprises. The majority of apprentices reported that they join businesses with the key objective of acquiring all relevant trade skills - training within an informal enterprise was also found to be the primary source of skills development for MCs. While the lack of clear norms surrounding informal apprenticeship may be seen as problematic, many MCs and apprentices felt that the flexibility of terms supported, rather than hindered the apprentice - for instance, by the apprentice being able to progress quickly through the learning process. Incentive and obligation operate as strong binding mechanisms for both MCs and apprentices to complete the training in the absence of fixed institutional frameworks. Furthermore, the fluid nature of Zambian informal apprenticeships may mean that any future targeted interventions may be incorporated more easily. There is currently an enabling institutional environment for upgrading informal apprenticeship in Zambia. With the 2011 election of the Patriotic Front (PF) party to government, there is a renewed focus on the issues of youth, job creation, skills training, self-employment opportunities and the quality of jobs. The PF government has stated that they seek to involve youths in national development by ‘expanding educational facilities and vocational training to absorb all school leavers’, ‘collaborating with industry to provide learnership/apprenticeship practical training’, and ‘facilitating access to finance and to markets’ for young people (The Patriotic Front, 2011). Considering informal apprenticeship as a mode of vocational training in Zambia would clearly support government’s aim of creating a vocational training system capable of absorbing all school leavers. Recognition of informal training is further supported by reforms in TEVET policy, which call for a greater focus on training within and for the informal sector, and seek to diversify the modes in which training is delivered. Key interventions are required to upgrade informal apprenticeship to a robust mode of vocational training leading to gainful and decent employment for young people in Zambia. This report argues that TEVET policy needs to become more responsive to the informal economy, with the Apprenticeship Act revitalized, trade testing promoted more effectively, and informally acquired skills recognized. The quality of training needs to be improved, such as through providing MCs with skills development opportunities, introducing competency assessment measures, and strengthening training agreements. Decent work outcomes also need to be strengthened through supporting trade associations, providing greater access to finance for MCs and graduating apprentices, improving health and safety outcomes, and creating greater links between the formal and informal training and employment sectors.

Identifying the essential ingredients to literacy and numeracy improvement: Teacher professional development and coaching, student textbooks, and structured teachers’ guides - Piper, Benjamin; Simmons Zuilkowski, Stephanie; Dubeck, Margaret; Jepkemei, Evelyn; King, Simon J. (World Development, 2018)
Several rigorously evaluated programs have recently shown positive effects on early literacy and numeracy outcomes in developing countries. However, these programs have not been designed to evaluate which ingredients of the interventions are most essential to improve literacy outcomes. Policy makers therefore lack evidence as to whether program ingredients such as teacher professional development (PD), instructional coaching, learner materials, teachers’ guides, community support, or technology are required for program impact. The Kenya Primary Math and Reading Initiative was a randomized controlled trial that compared three treatment groups with speciﬁc ingredients and a control group. Using literacy and numeracy outcome measures for grades 1 and 2, we evaluated the beneﬁts of the following ingredients: (1) teacher PD and teacher instructional support and coaching; (2) revised student books in literacy and numeracy, at a 1:1 ratio, added to PD and instructional support; and (3) structured teacher lesson plans added to student books, PD, and instructional support. We found that two of the three combinations of ingredients had statistically signiﬁcant positive impacts on learning outcomes. The results showed that the third combination—PD, teacher instructional support and coaching, 1:1 student books, and structured teacher lesson plans—was most effective. A cost-effectiveness analysis on the ingredients showed that the option of PD and instructional support, 1:1 revised books, and teachers’ guides was the most expensive, but that the additional impact on learning made this the most cost-effective intervention. This study rigorously analyzes which ingredients for literacy and numeracy improvement would be most effective for overall impact, and suggests to policy makers that careful decisions regarding program ingredients will lead to more effectively designed and implemented interventions to improve learning in developing countries.

Identifying the characteristics of effective teacher professional development: a critical review - Sims, Sam; Fletcher-Wood, Harry (School Effectiveness and School Improvement, 2021)
Several inﬂuential reviews and two meta-reviews have converged on the position that teacher professional development (PD) is more eﬀective when it is sustained, collaborative, subject speciﬁc, draws on external expertise, has buy-in from teachers, and is practice based. This consensus view has now been incorporated in government policy and oﬃcial guidance in several countries. This paper reassesses the evidence underpinning the consensus, arguing that the reviews on which it is based have important methodological weaknesses, in that they employ inappropriate inclusion criteria and depend on an invalid inference method. The consensus view is therefore likely to be inaccurate. It is argued that researchers would make more progress identifying characteristics of eﬀective professional development by looking for alignment between evidence from basic research on human skill acquisition and features of rigorously evaluated PD interventions.

Identifying gaps on health impacts, exposures, and vulnerabilities to climate change on human health and wellbeing in South America: a scoping review - Palmeiro-Silva, Yasna K.; Lescano, Andrés G.; Flores, Elaine C.; E, Yamileth Astorga; Rojas, Luis; Chavez-Hermosilla, Mario; Mora-Rivera, Wendel; Hartinger, Stella M. (The Lancet Regional Health - Americas, 2023)
There is an important gap in regional information on climate change and health, limiting the development of science-based climate policies in South American countries. This study aims to identify the main gaps in the existing scientific literature on the impacts, exposure, and vulnerabilities of climate change on population health. A scoping review was performed guided by four sub-questions focused on the impacts of climate change on physical and mental health, exposure and vulnerability factors of population to climate hazards. The main findings showed that physical impacts mainly included infectious diseases, while mental health impacts included trauma, depression, and anxiety. Evidence on population exposure to climate hazards is limited, and social determinants of health and individual factors were identified as vulnerability factors. Overall, evidence on the intersection between climate change and health is limited in South America and has been generated in silos, with limited transdisciplinary research. More formal and systematic information should be generated to inform public policy.None.

Identifying effective education interventions in sub-Saharan Africa: A meta-analysis of rigorous impact evaluations - Conn, K. (Columbia University, 2014)

Identifying effective education interventions in sub-Saharan Africa: A meta-analysis of impact evaluations - Conn, K.M. (Review of Educational Research, 2017)
In this article, I identify educational interventions with an impact on student learning in Sub-Saharan Africa. After a systematic literature search, I conducted a meta-analysis synthesizing 56 articles containing 66 separate experiments and quasi-experiments and 83 treatment arms. I evaluated 12 types of education interventions such as the provision of school supplies, the use of teacher incentives, and school-based management programs. I examine each intervention type, present analytics on relative effectiveness, and explore why certain interventions seem to be more effective. A key finding is that programs that alter teacher pedagogy or classroom instructional techniques had an effect size approximately 0.30 standard deviations greater than all other types of programs combined. Limited evidence further suggests that pedagogical programs that employed adaptive instruction or teacher coaching were particularly effective. Given that the literature in the field is still nascent overall, these results advocate for further research into these pedagogical interventions.

ICTs and development in developing countries: a systematic review of reviews - Lwoga, Edda Tandi; Sangeda, Raphael Zozimus (The Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries, 2019)
This systematic review of reviews aimed to explore the contribution of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for development in developing countries. This systematic review of reviews determines and summarizes ICTD research trends, and methodologies and conceptual frameworks used in ICTD research discuss the findings and evidence and then suggest approaches for further research. We reviewed existing systematic reviews published on ICT and development between January 1990 and July 2017. The review of reviews shows that a growing number of ICTD research works have used qualitative research approaches for data collection and analysis. We note several attempts to develop and apply models/frameworks over explanatory and predictive theories, most notably in the area of social, sociotechnical, and technical. Nevertheless, there is limited evidence on the long‐term contribution of ICT use on livelihoods, patterns of economic inequality, human freedom, and well‐being in developing countries. This review of reviews synthesizes existing systematic reviews on the contribution of ICT for development than was previously available for developing countries. This review has the potential for several stakeholders, including the public and private sector, intermediaries, and nonprofit organizations, to utilize the accumulated evidence from selected systematic reviews to enable/improve the appropriate and sustainable use of ICTs for development.

ICT4D 3.0? Part 1—The components of an emerging “digital‐for‐development” paradigm - Heeks, Richard (The Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries, 2020)
What has changed in the decade or so since the ideas of a new “ICT4D 2.0” phase were first mooted? This paper reviews those changes, based on a new framework model. At a foundational level, it looks at recent and current trends in digital technologies, data, processes and the implications these have for the user demographics and network structures that underpin the role of digital ICTs in international development. It then summarises some of the new building blocks of development: digital roles, digital products and digital business models. We could call what is emerging “ICT4D 3.0.” However, this paper argues that the changes are such that we could talk of a paradigmatic shift and suggests that the elements could be collated as a new “digital-for-development” paradigm. Part 2 of this paper explores the patterns of change in the economy and in politics that may be associated with this paradigm.

ICT Integrations in TVET: Is it up to Expectations? - Yasak, Zurina; Alias, Maizam (Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2015)
In today’s world where information and communication technology is playing a major role in people’s daily lives, how a student learns is dependent on how the student reacts to the sophisticated system offered by these technologies. Thus, it is not surprising that online learning is accepted as an important tool in the general education sector. However its adoption in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is yet to reach the equivalence of the general education sector. With the availability of state of the art online learning technology, there is greater opportunity for acquiring the technology that can support TVET practices. The aim of this paper is to discuss the trend of ICT integration in teaching and learning in TVET based on a systematic review of ICT integration in post-secondary TVET. The focus is mainly on the “what’ and “how” aspects of ICT integration in TVET. The literature reviewed indicates that while ICT integration can be aimed at the learning goals in the three domains, the affective, cognitive and psychomotor domain; its effectiveness is more noted where learning goals are of the cognitive domains. More effective integration is also indicated where the blended mode is adopted as compared to the fully ICT mediated mode. Lessons learnt in light of these findings are discussed for future ICT integration in TVET.

ICT integration in teaching and learning activities in higher education: a case study of Nepal's teacher education - Rana, Kesh; Rana, Karna (Malaysian Online Journal of Educational Technology, 2020)
This article reports an examination of information and communication technology (ICT) integration in teaching and learning activities in higher education in Nepal. ICT education policy by the government of Nepal emphasises the need to develop teachers' ICT competencies and suggests the use of ICT will transform traditional models of teaching to ones that are student-centred. The case study reported the lack of clear strategy to implement the ICT education policy and to fund for the ICT infrastructure and professional development of university staff to integrate ICT in teacher education. In this case, the Faculty of Education in the university, where there is no funding from the government and university for the ICT in education project, received funding from an international organisation to install ICT infrastructure and provide ICT training for teachers and other staff. It is argued that, to realise the policy in practice, more sustainable mechanisms need to be developed to provide ICT facilities for teachers and to train them how to use ICT in teaching activities.

ICT for education: a conceptual framework for the sustainable adoption of technology-enhanced learning environments in schools - Rodríguez, Patricio; Nussbaum, Miguel; Dombrovskaia, Lioubov (Technology, Pedagogy and Education, 2012)
Currently, the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in education does not conclusively demonstrate significant effects on learning. However, not all ICT usage models are designed to affect student outcomes. Therefore, to accurately study the impact of ICT, the concept of an educational programme supported by ICT must first be defined. The authors propose the ICT for Education (ICT4E) programme, an evidence-based framework to determine a model’s ability to produce improvements before having to evaluate its results. The framework has four components: implementation, intervention, transference and total cost. Based on an explicit definition of the outcomes pursued by a given programme, this framework supports the design of its activities to promote sustainable changes in pedagogical practices in schools and calculate the programme’s total cost. The authors illustrate this with a programme implemented in six countries. In Chile, the ICT4E programme forms part of the policy for educational technology, evaluating the effectiveness and scalability of such initiatives.

Human Rights Impact Assessment and AI - Mantelero, Alessandro (Beyond Data: Human Rights, Ethical and Social Impact Assessment in AI, 2022)
The recent turn in the debate on AI regulation from ethics to law, the wide application of AI and the new challenges it poses in a variety of fields of human activities are urging legislators to find a paradigm of reference to assess the impacts of AI and to guide its development. This cannot only be done at a general level, on the basis of guiding principles and provisions, but the paradigm must be embedded into the development and deployment of each application. To this end, this chapter suggests a model for human rights impact assessment (HRIA) as part of the broader HRESIA model. This is a response to the lack of a formal methodology to facilitate an ex-ante approach based on a human-oriented design of AI. The result is a tool that can be easily used by entities involved in AI development from the outset in the design of new AI solutions and can follow the product/service throughout its lifecycle, providing specific, measurable and comparable evidence on potential impacts, their probability, extension, and severity, and facilitating comparison between possible alternative options.

Human Resources for Health Challenges in Nigeria and Nurse Migration - Salami, Bukola; Dada, Foluke O.; Adelakun, Folake E. (Policy, Politics, and Nursing Practice, 2016)
© 2016, © The Author(s) 2016. The emigration of sub-Saharan African health professionals to developed Western nations is an aspect of increasing global mobility. This article focuses on the human resources for health challenges in Nigeria and the emigration of nurses from Nigeria as the country faces mounting human resources for health challenges. Human resources for health issues in Nigeria contribute to poor population health in the country, alongside threats from terrorism, infectious disease outbreaks, and political corruption. Health inequities within Nigeria mirror the geographical disparities in human resources for health distribution and are worsened by the emigration of Nigerian nurses to developed countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom. Nigerian nurses are motivated to emigrate to work in healthier work environments, improve their economic prospects, and advance their careers. Like other migrant African nurses, they experience barriers to integration, including racism and discrimination, in receiving countries. We explore the factors and processes that shape this migration. Given the forces of globalization, source countries and destination countries must implement policies to more responsibly manage migration of nurses. This can be done by implementing measures to retain nurses, promote the return migration of expatriate nurses, and ensure the integration of migrant nurses upon arrival in destination countries.

I have discussed these through the NDPs and the commissions appointed by the presidents of the time. The information has been presented using a chronological, thematic and, again chronological method. Additional information includes changes in curriculum during the same period.

Human Capital in Iraq - Tull, Kerina (2018)
This rapid review has found that human capital is developing in Iraq after years of stagnation due to the 2003 war, where the health and education sectors were hit particularly strongly (OCHA, 2018:5). About 50% of Iraq’s population is under 19 years old, and youth unemployment is very high at 34.6% (World Bank, 2017). There is a strong need to invest in young people, to release their economic value at the individual, employer, and community levels. A number of plans and strategies to help build collective skills, knowledge, or other intangible assets of individuals are noted in this review. As there are regional differences in human capital development between areas in Iraq, the evidence is divided into regions or governorates, where appropriate.

Systematic approaches to evidence synthesis can improve the rigour, transparency, and replicability of a traditional literature review. However, these systematic approaches are time and resource intensive. We evaluate the ability of OpenAI’s ChatGPT to undertake two initial stages of evidence syntheses (searching peer-reviewed literature and screening for relevance) and develop a novel collaborative framework to leverage the best of both human and AI intelligence. Using a scoping review of community-based sheries management as a case study, we nd that with substantial prompting, the AI can provide critical insight into the construction and content of a search string. Thereafter, we evaluate ve strategies for synthesising AI output to screen articles based on prede ned inclusion criteria. We nd low omission rates (< 1%) of relevant literature by the AI are achievable, which is comparable to that of human screeners. These ndings show that generalised AI tools can assist reviewers with evidence synthesis to accelerate the implementation and improve the reliability of a review.

How to Improve Teaching Practice? Experimental Comparison of Centralized Training and In-classroom Coaching - Cilliers, Jacobus; Fleisch, Brahm; Prinsloo, Cas; Taylor, Stephen (Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE), 2018)
We experimentally compare two modes of in-service professional development for South African public primary school teachers. In both programs teachers received the same learning material and daily lesson plans, aligned to the ofﬁcial literacy curriculum. Pupils exposed to two years of the program improved their reading proﬁciency by 0.12 standard deviations if their teachers received centralized Training, compared to 0.24 if their teachers received in-class Coaching. Classroom observations reveal that teachers were more likely to split pupils into smaller reading groups, which enabled individualized attention and more opportunities to practice reading. Results vary by class size and baseline pupil reading proﬁciency.

How to improve education outcomes most efficiently? A comparison of 150 interventions using the new Learning-Adjusted Years of Schooling metric - Angrist, Noam; Evans, David K.; Filmer, Deon; Glennerster, Rachel; Rogers, F. Halsey; Sabarwal, Shwetlena (Policy Research Working Papers, 2020)
Many low- and middle-income countries lag far behind high-income countries in educational access and student learning. Limited resources mean that policymakers must make tough choices about which investments to make to improve education. Although hundreds of education interventions have been rigorously evaluated, making comparisons between the results is challenging. Some studies report changes in years of schooling; others report changes in learning. Standard deviations, the metric typically used to report learning gains, measure gains relative to a local distribution of test scores. This metric makes it hard to judge if the gain is worth the cost in absolute terms. This paper proposes using learning-adjusted years of schooling (LAYS)—which combines access and quality and compares gains to an absolute, cross-country standard—as a new metric for reporting gains from education interventions. The paper applies LAYS to compare the effectiveness (and cost-effectiveness, where cost is available) of interventions from 150 impact evaluations across 46 countries. The results show that some of the most cost-effective programs deliver the equivalent of three additional years of high-quality schooling (that is, schooling at quality comparable to the highest-performing education systems) for just $100 per child—compared with zero years for other classes of interventions.

How to Construct a Mixed Methods Research Design - Schoonenboom, Judith; Johnson, R. Burke (Kolner Zeitschrift Fur Soziologie Und Sozialpsychologie, 2017)
This article provides researchers with knowledge of how to design a high quality mixed methods research study. To design a mixed study, researchers must understand and carefully consider each of the dimensions of mixed methods design, and always keep an eye on the issue of validity. We explain the seven major design dimensions: purpose, theoretical drive, timing (simultaneity and dependency), point of integration, typological versus interactive design approaches, planned versus emergent design, and design complexity. There also are multiple secondary dimensions that need to be considered during the design process. We explain ten secondary dimensions of design to be considered for each research study. We also provide two case studies showing how the mixed designs were constructed.

How stop and search is failing black people (2020)
There has been renewed criticism over stop and search in the UK after research found that BAME people are 54% more likely to be fined under coronavirus rules than white people. The subsequent death of George Floyd in the US and the support for the Black Lives Matter movement has brought more scrutiny to the disproportionatality. Black people are 9.7 times more likely than white people to be stopped and searched and 40 times more likely under the controversial section 60 power, which has risen as the government has tried to crack down on knife crime. Some say this points to racism within the police. Does stop and search need reform?

How Outdoor Trees Affect Indoor Particulate Matter Dispersion: CFD Simulations in a Naturally Ventilated Auditorium - Hong, Bo; Qin, Hongqiao; Jiang, Runsheng; Xu, Min; Niu, Jiaqi (International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2018)
This study used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models, coupling with a standard k-ε model based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) approach and a revised generalized drift flux model, to investigate effects of outdoor trees on indoor PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10 dispersion in a naturally ventilated auditorium. Crown volume coverage (CVC) was introduced to quantify outdoor trees. Simulations were performed on various CVCs, oncoming wind velocities and window opening sizes (wall porosities were 3.5 and 7.0%, respectively, for half and fully opened windows). The results were as follows: (1) A vortex formed inside the auditorium in the baseline scenario, and the airflow recirculation created a well-mixed zone with little variation in particle concentrations. There was a noticeable decrease in indoor PM10 with the increasing distance from the inlet boundary due to turbulent diffusion. (2) Assuming that pollution sources were diluted through the inlet, average indoor particle concentrations rose exponentially with increasing oncoming wind speed. PM10 changed most significantly due to turbulent diffusion and surface deposition reduction intensified by the increased wind velocity. (3) Increasing the window opening improved indoor cross-ventilation, thus reducing indoor particle concentrations. (4) When 2.87 m3/m2 ≤ CVC ≤ 4.73 m3/m2, indoor PM2.5 could meet requirements of the World Health Organization’s air quality guidelines (IT-3) for 24-hour mean concentrations; and (5) average indoor particle concentrations had positive correlations with natural ventilation rates (R2 = 0.9085, 0.961, 0.9683 for PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10, respectively, when the wall porosity was 3.5%; R2 = 0.9158, 0.9734, 0.976 for PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10, respectively, when the wall porosity was 7.0%).

How newly qualified primary teachers develop: A case study in rural Eritrea - Belay, Abraham; Ghebreab, Freweini; Ghebremichael, Tewolde; Ghebreselassie, Asmerom; Holmes, John; White, Goodith (International Journal of Educational Development, 2007)
This paper reports on the professional development of a small group of newly qualified teachers (NQTs) who began their careers in four rural schools in Eritrea. These teachers were monitored over a period of four years from 2001 to 2004. Their development as primary practitioners was recorded by videoing and observing their classes and by interviews and informal discussions held over the period. The ways in which they developed and the factors involved in this development are analysed and discussed. It is hoped that this research offers an insight into the challenges faced by newly qualified teachers in small rural communities, often very much dependant on their own resources and those of the local community. This indicates ways in which the current programme and on-going in-service provision may be targeted in future. An important point is made that in spite of the unusual circumstances of education in Eritrea this research provides insights that are relevant to other sociocultural contexts.

How Much Can We Generalize From Impact Evaluations? - Vivalt, Eva (Journal of the European Economic Association, 2020)
Impact evaluations can help to inform policy decisions, but they are rooted in particular contexts and to what extent they generalize is an open question. I exploit a new data set of impact evaluation results and find a large amount of effect heterogeneity. Effect sizes vary systematically with study characteristics, with government-implemented programs having smaller effect sizes than academic or non-governmental organization-implemented programs, even controlling for sample size. I show that treatment effect heterogeneity can be appreciably reduced by taking study characteristics into account.

How does school travel time impact children’s learning outcomes in a developing country? - Afoakwah, Clifford; Koomson, Isaac (Review of Economics of the Household, 2021)
Nearly 88% of children in sub-Saharan Africa will not be able to read by the time they complete primary school. We explore this phenomenon by using household data from the Ghana Living Standards Survey to examine the link between school travel time and children’s learning outcomes. Using district variations in school density to resolve endogeneity associated with children’s travel time to school and their learning outcomes, we find that more than 90% of children travel on foot to school and this negatively affects their ability to read and write in English or French as well as their ability to read and write in their native languages. We further show that boys, children in rural areas and those who travel more than the 75th percentile travel time (30 minutes) have poorer learning outcomes. Our findings highlight number of class hours missed and poor health as the main channels through which school travel time affects learning outcomes. Policy initiatives to improve children’s learning should consider reducing the costs associated with their school travel time. Considering that governments have limited resources with competing needs, policies aimed at reducing travel time should generally target children who commute more than 30 minutes to school and those in rural locations.

How does professional development improve teaching? - Kennedy, Mary M. (Review of Educational Research, 2016)
Professional development programs are based on different theories of how students learn and different theories of how teachers learn. Reviewers often sort programs according to design features such as program duration, intensity, or the use of specific techniques such as coaches or online lessons, but these categories do not illuminate the programs’ underlying purpose or premises about teaching and teacher learning. This review sorts programs according to their underlying theories of action, which include (a) a main idea that teachers should learn and (b) a strategy for helping teachers enact that idea within their own ongoing systems of practice. Using rigorous research design standards, the review identifies 28 studies. Because studies differ in multiple ways, the review presents program effects graphically rather than statistically. Visual patterns suggest that many popular design features are not associated with program effectiveness. Furthermore, different main ideas are not differentially effective. However, the pedagogies used to facilitate enactment differ in their effectiveness. Finally, the review addresses the question of research design for studies of professional development and suggests that some widely favored research designs might adversely affect study outcomes.

How Does Enriched Differentiated Small-Group Instruction At The Middle-School Level Accelerated Learning And Promote Community? - Bernard, Kathleen (School of Education Student Capstone Projects, 2019)
The question addressed in this capstone project was guided by the demanding need for customized differentiated enriched learning experiences at the middle-school level. It documents why providing customized enriched learning experiences through small-group instruction for all students is necessary to help close educational opportunity gaps, improve academic growth and to create stronger communities of understanding and connectedness. It is founded in the learning and understanding of differentiation and self-determination theory. The frame of the project guides middle-school teachers through the process of understanding the importance of small-group instruction, provides them with structural classroom framework options and cultivates time for collaboration to develop enriched differentiated learning experiences. The goal is to strengthen classroom learning communities, but also collaborative professional learning communities.

How do higher education institutions promote sustainable development? A literature review - Berchin, Issa Ibrahim; de Aguiar Dutra, Ana Regina; Guerra, José Baltazar Salgueirinho Osório de Andrade (Sustainable Development, 2021)
Higher education institutions (HEIs) have a fundamental role in transforming societies aimed at a more sustainable future. Through knowledge creation and dissemination, research, education and outreach, institutions of higher education lead the path towards sustainable development. The aim of this paper is to identify, based on a review of the literature, how HEIs promote sustainable development. An analysis of both international declarations and the scientific literature on education for sustainable development shows that emphasis is given to discussions on development, education, research, and training. This highlights the need for a stronger role of universities to promote sustainable development paths, expanding and disseminating knowledge, building capacity through training, and working with local communities to increase their resilience.

How children talk together to make meaning from texts: a dialogic perspective on reading comprehension strategies - Maine, Fiona (Literacy, 2013)
This study considers reading comprehension as a dialogic transaction of making meaning from text. The concept of text and reading is taken to include the visual and multimodal as well as written forms. Case studies of children discussing texts are analysed to explore how children engage in inter‐mental and intra‐mental processes of reading, between themselves as readers and between themselves and the text. The findings show that children's use of language, which is open, hypothetical and questioning, enables different interpretations and priorities for discussion. The use of imagination and empathy, to enter the world of the text to understand it, trigger creative responses as the children make meaning together. More than merely promoting the teaching of comprehension skills to children, the paper demonstrates how meaningful and exciting responses can be promoted through children reading together and teachers encouraging creative dialogue.

How Changes in Technology and Automation will Affect the Labour Market in Africa - Millington, A. Kerry (2017)
Estimates of how many jobs are vulnerable to being replaced by machine vary but it is clear that developing countries are more susceptible to automation compared to high-income countries. Traditionally, blue-collar routine jobs have been automated but with the emergence of greatly improved computing power, artificial intelligence and robotics, a much larger scope of occupations are at risk. Vulnerability to automation is now based on whether jobs or tasks are codifiable and whether they are routine or not. Highly-trained and skilled jobs can be more at risk than more varied, lesser skilled jobs. This rapid literature review found that whilst there is evidence, information and discussion of the impact of automation on the labour market in industrialised nations, there is much less on the potential impact in developing countries. The World Development Report 2016 Digital Dividends (World Bank 2016) was an excellent source of data and many of the figures presented are from this report. Whether you are a “techno-optimist” or a “techno-pessimist”, the impact of automation on the labour market will require long-term adjustment and policy changes to ensure the future of work is inclusive and sustainable and addresses increasing income inequality (Gelb and Khan December 2016) in an ever more automated and digital economy.

How Can Middle-income Countries Improve Their Skills Systems Post- COVID-19? - Herbert, George (2021)
Vocational training systems in middle-income countries are going to face multiple challenges in the post-COVID era, notably, challenges related to (1) automation; (2) the transition to a green economy, and (3) demographic pressures. Of these, automation - linked to the burgeoning ‘fourth industrial revolution’ that is set to transform the global economy - represents the most serious challenge and is the only one of the three challenges discussed in any depth in this paper. Whilst estimates of the likely scale of automation in the coming years and decades vary widely, it appears likely that waves of automation will lead to a dramatic decline in many kinds of jobs that largely involve routine, repetitive tasks. These trends pre-date COVID-19, but the disruption caused by the pandemic provides an opportunity to prepare for these challenges by implementing vocational training system reforms as part of the Build Back Better agenda. Reforms to vocational training systems will be crucial to ensuring middle-income countries respond appropriately to accelerating labour market changes. However, they should only form a limited part of that response and need to be integrated with a wide range of other policy measures. Vocational training reform will need to occur in the context of major reforms to basic education in order to ensure that all workers are equipped with the cross-cutting cognitive and socio-emotional skills they will require to perform hard-to-automate tasks and to be able to learn and adapt rapidly in a changing economy. Middle-income countries will also likely need to progressively expand social protection schemes in order to provide a safety net for workers that struggle to adapt to changing labour market requirements.

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

A growing literature measures the impact of education interventions in low- and middle-income countries on both access and learning outcomes. But how should one contextualize the size of impacts? This article provides the distribution of standardized effect sizes on learning and access from 234 studies in low- and middle-income countries. We identify a median effect size of 0.10 standard deviations on learning and 0.07 standard deviations on access among randomized controlled trials. Effect sizes are similar for quasi-experimental studies. Effects are larger and demonstrate higher variance for small-scale studies than for large-scale studies. The distribution of existing effects can help researchers and policymakers to situate new findings within current knowledge and design new studies with sufficient statistical power to identify effects.

Holistic Model for Designing a Climate Service Application on the KaiOS Platform - Myllynpää, Ville; Haakana, Jani; Virtanen, Julius; Sutinen, Erkki (Association for Computing Machinery, 2020)
Interest towards building and operating climate services is constantly growing globally, especially regarding utilization of mobile technologies in those services in the Global South, in order to reach rural farmers effectively. However, multiple issues are currently limiting the design and development of these services for reaching their full impact. Based on a recent field study, we present the criteria for a mobile climate service app for small-scale farmers in Namibia. It will be based on the KaiOS "smart feature phone" platform, and combines holistically climate, weather and agricultural information in a form that guides the farmer through the agricultural cycle. The app is currently in its early development phase, with a set of pre-selected features being built. Further field work with the local farmers will define the final set of features and the eventual user interface (UI) design of the app.

Holistic Learning Versus Instrumentalism in Teacher Education: Lessons from Values Pedagogy and Related Research - Lovat, Terence (Education Sciences, 2020)
This article constitutes a literature review, focusing on the idea of holistic learning, as found in key sources, and its essential contrasting with instrumentalist approaches to learning. It will move to explore updated research on holistic learning factors, with special attention to insights gleaned from values pedagogy and the research that underpins it. The article will juxtapose those insights with the instrumentalism that, it will allege, too often dictates teacher education directions. The article will conclude with an argument that teacher education has become, in modern times, a service industry, too often serving the agendas of governments and teacher unions, rather than preparing teachers to follow the guidelines provided by the latest research into student wellbeing and societal betterment. The article will focus especially on a number of Australian examples to mount the argument that nonetheless applies more generally across Western domains.

Hindrance to Technologically Guided Education in Kenya Secondary Schools: A Case Study of Embakasi Girls’ School: - Onesmus, Gicheru (Journal of Learning for Development, 2020)
Covid-19 epidemic has forced education managers and teachers to begin or enhance e-learning mode of education across the world. Kenya have not been left behind. This article is geared towards identification of challenges that face technologically based / supported education. First is the accessibility question. The availability and actual use of ICT tools/ system for learning is a mirage to many. Availability of ICT system and devices is limited to most learners, teachers, and parents due to their socioeconomic status. Even for the cases where gadgets and platforms are availability, the drive and preference of the owners of devices / system towards the education material is not guaranteed. There is also a question of digital divide, most of Kenya parents and schools do not have internet or smart phones for the same. Secondly, is the issue of pedagogy –this implies practice and methodology that best fit the teaching of youthful students. Use of technologies in teaching should be done in a professional way by adhering to how instructional materials are prepared, dissemination of the same materials and then fusing it to technology for effective teaching and learning. There are few programs that are professional done towards this aspect in Africa. The screenshot below is an indication of factors that may hinder the eLearning education. It was taken from online training of Machakos University tutors. A survey was done where the participants indicated challenges that they may face in their teaching. Clearly, pedagogy and access was their main concern as shown from the percentages of each challenges.

Higher education institutions and the use of online instruction and online tools and resources during the COVID-19 outbreak - An online review of selected U.S. and SA's universities - Chaka, Chaka (In Review, 2020)
Abstract This online quasi-scoping review set out to review how 64 U.S. and 21 South African universities pivoted to online course delivery and used online tools and resources as one of their collective responses to continue their teaching and learning activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. The review was conducted on five online search engines, six online databases and two online social networking sites. Generally, all of the U.S and South African universities investigated transitioned to online classes and temporarily relinquished their in-person, campus-based classes. Additionally, all of these universities transiently opted for a strong form of social distancing and embraced emergency remote online pedagogy. Moreover, four online delivery typologies, with their attendant multiple permutations, emerged from these two sets of universities. Furthermore, when both U.S. and South African universities temporarily pivoted their classes to online delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, they embraced and adopted certain online tools and resources more than the others. For instance, pertaining to 64 U.S. universities, Zoom was the most preferred tool, with video conferencing and LMS platforms emerging as the two dominant platforms. As regards the 21 South African universities, Blackboard (Collaborate) emerged as the most preferred tool, with both LMS and video conferencing platforms emerging as the two dominant platforms. Overall, Zoom, Blackboard (Collaborate) and institutional LMSes were the three common tools to which both sets of universities pivoted during the pandemic. Finally, the two sets of universities only embraced low-tech versions of the 4IR technologies such as video-conferencing, social media technologies, and cloud computing.

Higher education, developmental leadership and good governance - Fontana, Giuditta (2017)
The last decade has witnessed renewed interest in the social benefits of higher education, with recent research suggesting that universities have a role in nurturing developmental leaders who enable positive change and better governance in low-income and conflict-affected countries (Brannelly et al, 2011b). This review summarises available evidence on the relationship between higher education, developmental leadership and good governance in developing and conflict-affected countries. It draws on examples from a variety of countries, including Ghana, the Philippines, Oman, Lebanon, Cote d’Ivoire and Botswana among others. Most of the literature considered in this report is academic. A large proportion was produced by the Developmental Leadership Programme (DLP) based at the University of Birmingham, which is currently in the process of publishing a summary report.

High fidelity simulation evaluation studies in nursing education: A review of the literature - Hanshaw, Shannon L.; Dickerson, Suzanne S. (Nurse Education in Practice, 2020)
Simulation is an experiential learning process which provides a safe environment for learning, preventing the risk of patient harm. A review of the literature was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses approach to explore the question: What is the state of the science on the evidence of learning outcomes in high-fidelity simulation in undergraduate nursing education? This synthesis included 20 research studies focusing on evaluating outcomes of high-fidelity simulation in undergraduate pre-licensure baccalaureate nursing students. Studies were excluded if they did not use high-fidelity simulation for the intervention group, or they evaluated faculty outcomes. Simulation design and practices are identified and discussed regarding dose and fidelity. Outcome measures reviewed include increasing levels of thinking: Remembering/Understanding/Applying (knowledge/skills), Analyzing/Perception, and Evaluating/Creating outcomes. Design of high-fidelity simulation in the nursing literature is being grounded in outcome variables with increasing levels of thinking (Bloom's Taxonomy) and based in pedagogical and nursing judgment theoretical frameworks. Reliable measurement tools are used. There is a need for a more comprehensive measurement of clinical competence that extends evaluation to clinical practice outcomes. Additional research is needed on retention of simulation learning over time and assessing transference of simulation learning into clinical nursing practice.

Helping teachers to respond to COVID-19 in the Eastern Caribbean: issues of readiness, equity and care - Leacock, Coreen J.; Warrican, S. Joel (Journal of Education for Teaching, 2020)
Education in the Eastern Caribbean has been heavily influenced by the colonial history of the sub-region. In recent years though, in recognition of the fact that the traditional approaches to teaching and learning are no longer meeting the needs of present-day students, there have been calls for change to more student-friendly ones, with electronic technology playing a significant role. However, the resistance to certain types of devices in the classroom has contributed to the slow uptake of widespread use of electronic technology and the online environment as a mode for teaching and learning. The closure of schools due to the advent of COVID-19 pandemic forced education systems in the region to turn to the online environment to engage students in educational activities. Students, teachers and other education officials had to face their apprehensions and venture into this space for schooling. This paper describes actions taken by the Eastern Caribbean Joint Board of Teacher Education to help teachers cope with this different learning environment, guided by the concepts of teacher readiness, equity relating to access of resources and providing caring support for all affected.

Height and body-mass index trajectories of school-aged children and adolescents from 1985 to 2019 in 200 countries and territories: a pooled analysis of 2181 population-based studies with 65 million participants - Rodriguez-Martinez, Andrea; Zhou, Bin; Sophiea, Marisa K; Bentham, James; Paciorek, Christopher J; Iurilli, Maria LC; Carrillo-Larco, Rodrigo M; Bennett, James E; Di Cesare, Mariachiara; Taddei, Cristina; Bixby, Honor; Stevens, Gretchen A; et al. (The Lancet, 2020)
Background Comparable global data on health and nutrition of school-aged children and adolescents are scarce. We aimed to estimate age trajectories and time trends in mean height and mean body-mass index (BMI), which measures weight gain beyond what is expected from height gain, for school-aged children and adolescents.

Heidegger's Hammer - Wegerif, Rupert; Major, Louis (The Theory of Educational Technology, 2023)
Heidegger’s discussion of the way that tools and technology enter into experience has had a profound impact on the philosophy of technology. In this chapter, we look at the implications for design that follow from his account. We interrogate Heidegger’s criticism of modern technology, which he argues ‘enframes’ us and cuts us off from a more authentic and nourishing relationship with ‘Being’. We find that while Heidegger described modern technology as a danger, he also recognised it as an opportunity for a different kind of human future. Heidegger’s analysis of how technologies can shape our world and our understanding of it is relevant to understanding not only how we use everyday craft tools like hammers, but also to understanding the educational potential of networked digital technologies like global social media and Generative AI.

Heat impact on schoolchildren in Cameroon, Africa: potential health threat from climate change - Dapi, Léonie N.; Rocklöv, Joacim; Nguefack-Tsague, Georges; Tetanye, Ekoe; Kjellstrom, Tord (Global Health Action, 2010)
Background: Health impacts related to climate change are potentially an increasing problem in Cameroon, especially during hot seasons when there are no means for protective and adaptive actions. Objective: To describe environmental conditions in schools and to evaluate the impact of heat on schoolchildren’s health during school days in the Cameroon cities of Yaounde´ and Douala. Methods: Schoolchildren (N0285) aged 12Á16 years from public secondary schools completed a questionnaire about their background, general symptoms, and hot feelings in a cross-sectional study. In Yaounde´, 50 schoolchildren were individually interviewed during school days about hourly symptoms (fatigue, headache, and feeling very hot) and performance. Lascar dataloggers were used to measure indoor classroom temperatures and humidity. Results: There was a significant correlation between daily indoor temperature and the percentages of schoolchildren who felt very hot, had fatigue, and headaches in Yaounde´. A high proportion of schoolchildren felt very hot (48%), had fatigue (76%), and headaches (38%) in Yaounde´. Prevalences (%) were higher among girls than boys for headaches (58 vs 39), feeling ‘very hot overall’ (37 vs 21), and ‘very hot in head’ (21 vs 18). Up to 62% were absentminded and 45% had slow writing speed. High indoor temperatures of 32.58C in Yaounde´ and 36.68C in Douala were observed in school. Conclusions: Headache, fatigue, and feeling very hot associated with high indoor air temperature were observed among schoolchildren in the present study. Longitudinal data in schools are needed to confirm these results. School environmental conditions should be improved in order to enhance learning.

Health impact studies of climate change adaptation and mitigation measures – A scoping review - Luyten, Axel; Winkler, Mirko S.; Ammann, Priska; Dietler, Dominik (The Journal of Climate Change and Health, 2023)
Climate change affects both mental and physical health. Besides limiting the extent and consequences of climate change, mitigation and adaptation measures can have additional and potentially unintended health impacts. This scoping review outlines how health effects of climate mitigation and adaptation measures have been studied in the scientific literature. We conducted a systematic literature search in the databases PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science without time restriction. All peer-reviewed articles reporting quantified health impacts linked to specific climate change adaptation and mitigation measures were included. Overall, the 89 included articles considered only a narrow range of health determinants and health outcomes. Adaptation- and mitigation-related articles most frequently investigated the environmental health determinants air temperature and air pollution, respectively. Non-communicable diseases were predominantly studied while other relevant health outcome categories, such as mental health, food- and nutrition-related issues, and communicable diseases were rarely reported. The scarcity of studies focusing on the social health determinants and providing stratified health impacts among vulnerable population groups in assessments points to an inadequate consideration of health equity aspects. Increased efforts to quantify health impacts more comprehensively and to identify underlying vulnerability factors among specific population groups seem needed. This information could provide policymakers with more accurate evidence to address health equity aspects, limit adverse health impacts and promote health co-benefits of climate change adaptation and mitigation measures.

Health impact assessment and climate change: A scoping review - Ammann, Priska; Dietler, Dominik; Winkler, Mirko S. (The Journal of Climate Change and Health, 2021)
Climate change has various adverse impacts on public health, ranging from heat-related illness to an increased risk of undernutrition in low-income countries. Health impact assessment (HIA) has been advocated as a valuable tool to systematically identify and quantify the effects of climate change on public health and to inform and evaluate the impact of disease-specific adaptation measures as well as health co-benefits of mitigation measures. We conducted a scoping review to map out peer-reviewed literature on HIA in the context of climate change. Web of Science, Scopus and PubMed were searched without language or time restriction. Publications were included in the full text screening that presented or discussed the application of HIA for investigating health impacts of climate change, or associated adaptation and mitigation measures. In total, 76 peer-reviewed publications from 26 countries were included and characterized. There was a paucity of studies on HIA in the context of climate change from low- and middle-income countries. The most investigated climate change effects were related to temperature and air-pollution. Consequently, associated health impacts, such as respiratory or cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, were examined most frequently. Research-driven HIAs with a quantitative methodological approach were the predominant choice to assess health impacts of climate change. Only one in five publications applied a classical step-by-step HIA approach. While quantitative assessment of health impacts associated with climate change seems to be a well established field of research, the few publications applying a step-by-step HIA approach to systematically anticipate potential health impacts of climate change in a given context point at a missed opportunity for strengthening intersectoral collaboration to maximize health (co-) benefits of climate mitigation and adaptation measures. To promote the use of step-by-step HIA in regions that are most affected by climate change, HIA teaching and training efforts are urgently needed.

‘Happier in his own clothes’: Post-pandemic Possibilities for Education for Children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities: Perspectives from parent carers - Shepherd, Jacqui; Durrant, Claire; Hancock, Christina (University of Sussex, 2021)
This research examined the perspectives of parent carers of children with SEND and their experiences of their children returning to school in September 2020 and undertaking home-learning during the January/February 2021 lockdown. While celebrating the achievements of schools in supporting children with SEND back into school last September and improving the quality and provision of home learning during the second lockdown, the report also exposes some of the significant limitations in the education system - not least in meeting the fundamental needs of children with SEND, but also in enabling them to flourish and achieve. Some children did thrive during lockdown without the stress and anxiety of school and the pressure of social interaction but many did not. ‘Happier in his own clothes’ was a comment made by a parent about one of the positives of lockdown in not having to wear school uniform, but we also use it as a metaphor here for how school could be for children with SEND - and indeed all children if we can seize this opportunity to learn from lockdown. We make recommendations, based on the learning from the positive and negative experiences of the last year, for a more reflexive and recalibrated school system which works better for all children – especially those with SEND.

Handbook of Vocational Education and Training : Developments in the Changing World of Work - McGrath, Simon; Mulder, Martin; Papier, Joy; Suart, Rebecca (Springer International Publishing, 2019)
This handbook brings together and promotes research on the area of vocational education and training (VET). It analyzes current and future economic and labor market trends and relates these to likely implications for vocational education and training. It questions how VET engages with the growing power of human development approaches and with the sustainable development agenda. Equity and inclusion are discussed in a range of ways by the authors and the consideration of the construction of these terms is an important element of the handbook. It further addresses both the overall notion of system reform, at different scales, and what is known about particular technologies of systems reform across a variety of settings. Vocational learning and VET teacher/trainer education are discussed from a comparative perspective. National and comparative experiences are also shared on questions of equity and efficiency in funding in terms of those that fund and are funded, and for a range of funding methodologies. As well as reviewing existing gaps, this handbook is looking forward in identifying promising new directions in research and environment.Areas covered:The Changing World of Work | Editors: Margarita Pavlova and Salim AkoojeeSkills for Sustainable Human Development | Editor: Lesley PowellPlanning and Reforming Skills Systems | Editor: Robert PalmerPrivate Training Markets | Editors: Michael Gessler, Larissa Freund and Susanne PetersVocational Learning | Editors: Karen Evans and Natasha KershCompetence and Excellence | Editor: Kirby BarrickMeasuring Learning and Instructional Performance | Editor: Esther WintherSupporting Learners | Editor: Joy PapierVET Teacher/Trainer Education | Editor: Volker Wedekind

Hackathons as a means of accelerating scientific discoveries and knowledge transfer - Ghouila, Amel; Siwo, Geoffrey Henry; Entfellner, Jean-Baka Domelevo; Panji, Sumir; Button-Simons, Katrina A.; Davis, Sage Zenon; Fadlelmola, Faisal M.; Participants, The DREAM of Malaria Hackathon; Ferdig, Michael T.; Mulder, Nicola; Bensellak, Taoufik; Ghansah, Anita; et al. (Genome Research, 2018)
Scientific research plays a key role in the advancement of human knowledge and pursuit of solutions to important societal challenges. Typically, research occurs within specific institutions where data are generated and subsequently analyzed. Although collaborative science bringing together multiple institutions is now common, in such collaborations the analytical processing of the data is often performed by individual researchers within the team, with only limited internal oversight and critical analysis of the workflow prior to publication. Here, we show how hackathons can be a means of enhancing collaborative science by enabling peer review before results of analyses are published by cross-validating the design of studies or underlying data sets and by driving reproducibility of scientific analyses. Traditionally, in data analysis processes, data generators and bioinformaticians are divided and do not collaborate on analyzing the data. Hackathons are a good strategy to build bridges over the traditional divide and are potentially a great agile extension to the more structured collaborations between multiple investigators and institutions.
