It also suggests that deploying teachers to rural and understaffed schools (or putting teachers already there on payroll) might not tackle high pupil-to-qualified-teacher ratios in the longer term. Investigating the school-to-school movement of payroll teachers can help us...

In many research organisations, systematic literature reviews often happen manually, especially at country-level. To improve the speed of literature reviews and improve the efficiency of literature reviews across the sector, the present document presents a short topic brief that explores the use of AI to automate EdTech literature reviews. The topic brief considers several questions: What tools are available for conducting automated evidence reviews? How appropriate are these existing tools?...

Therefore, it is important to test usability to improve the delivery of TCPD via mobile devices. This study evaluated...

We set out to investigate the existing and potential use cases of open-source, modular ‘building blocks’ to build digital platforms for education in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Building blocks fall into two main categories: teaching and learning (e.g., learning management systems) and education system management (e.g., data collection tools).

Sustaining educational initiatives beyond short-term pilot projects is highly challenging in low-income countries. We describe the outcomes and implications of our iterative Design-Based Implementation Research conducted in Zambia. This focused on a unique, school-based, peer-facilitated professional learning programme for primary teachers: OER4Schools integrates interactive pedagogy, open digital educational resources and mobile learning. Teacher interviews carried out 18 months after a...
