Myers, C., Wyss, N., Villavicencio Peralta, X., & Coflan, C. - 2022 - EdTech Hub

This document was produced in response to a request from the UNICEF Latin America and Caribbean Regional Office (LACRO) submitted to the EdTech Hub Helpdesk in October 2021. The UNICEF team requested a curated list of digital learning platforms in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region and an analysis of a shortlisted series of platforms intending to explore their potential for at-scale implementation and impact. This report does not aim to cover every leading and innovative digital...

Several theoretical frameworks have been released in recent years to inform how educational technology (edtech) can be used in the classroom. These frameworks range from providing a holistic view of the role edtech plays in education at a macrolevel to analyzing how edtech is used by students and teachers. With a growing number of them now available, researchers have yet to systemically collect and analyze a set of these frameworks, which can result in edtech not being used effectively by...

In the past two decades computers have become a standard educational tool in the industrialized countries. Recently, equipping each student with a personal device (one-to-one computing, OLPC) has been enthusiastically advocated for developing countries, too. However, despite a number of pioneering research studies, broader analyses of pedagogical, technical, and organizational aspects of one-to-one computing in developing countries are largely missing. In this participatory action research...

Individuals' reluctance to take precautions before the disasters happen is one of the most critical concerns of the disaster management area. The disaster education given through schools is a critical process in addressing this problem. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the teacher training program model and the implementation practices of Turkey's School-Based Disaster Education Project. In Turkey, there are few studies regarding the planning, development, implementation, and...

Data collection and visualisation tools in the education sector in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia [Helpdesk Response]

Vijil, A., El-Serafy, Y., Adam, T., & Haßler, B. - 2024 - EdTech Hub

This report provides a landscape analysis of available data collection and visualisation tools in the education sector in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Digital data collection has the potential to facilitate cost-effective, adaptable, timely and reliable data to inform decision-making. The value proposition of these tools, as opposed to paper-based data collection, is that they have the potential to save valuable time and resources, minimise errors, and facilitate the sharing of...

EdTech for Out-of-School Children and Youth: A Rapid Evidence Review for the Southeast Asian Region [Rapid Evidence Review]

Barnes, K., Mazari, H., Mitchell, J., … Thinley, S. - 2024 - EdTech Hub

This publication is one part of a series of Rapid Evidence Reviews (RERs) that has been produced by EdTech Hub as part of the ASEAN-UK Supporting the Advancement of Girls’ Education (SAGE) Programme. The programme aims to enhance foundational learning opportunities for all by breaking down barriers that hinder the educational achievements of girls and marginalised learners. The purpose of the RERs is to provide education decision-makers with accessible, evidence-based summaries of good...

Raging during the 1980s, the Paradigm Wars resulted in the demise of objectivity-seeking quantitative research on teaching—a victim of putatively devastating attacks from anti-naturalists, interpretivists, and critical theorists. Subsequently, the interpretivists' ethnographic studies flourished, enhancing the cultural appropriateness of schooling, and critical theorists' analyses fostered the struggles for power for the poor, non-Whites, and women. Two alternative versions of the aftermath...

The Power of Girls’ Reading Camps: Exploring the impact of radio lessons, peer learning and targeted paper-based resources on girls’ remote learning in Kenya (Working Paper No. 32)

Amenya, D., Fitzpatrick, R., Njeri, M. E., … Riggall, A. - 2021 - EdTech Hub

An output of the EdTech Hub, https://edtechhub.org

This self-study of becoming a critical teacher educator extends the research on blogs as a vehicle of critical self-reflection in teaching and teacher education. While the primary focus of this thesis is a self-study of the process of becoming a teacher educator, the author presents findings based on discursive data collected from blogs produced by teacher candidates in two case studies, which inform this process of becoming. The case studies are represented as two “strands”: one carried out...

Summary: EdTech for Learners With Cognitive and Learning Disabilities - A Rapid Evidence Review for the Southeast Asian Region

Mitchell, J., Thang, S., Zhao, A., … Nimra, A. - 2024 - EdTech Hub

This document is a summary of a rapid evidence review on EdTech for Learners With Cognitive and Learning Disabilities produced by EdTech Hub as part of the ASEAN-UK Supporting the Advancement of Girls’ Education (SAGE) Programme.

They are focused on topics which are particularly relevant to marginalised learners,...

Why is technology not used more in schools? Many researchers have tried to solve this persistent puzzle. The authors of this article report on their study of technology uses in 19 schools. They suggest an ecological metaphor, using the example of the introduction of the zebra mussel into the Great Lakes, to integrate and organize sets of factors that affect implementation of computer uses. Their findings suggest that an ecological perspective can provide a powerful analytical framework for...

Exploring the Gender Differences in Technology Use for Educational Purposes at Home Among Students in Pakistan [Report]

Raza, O., & Hennessy, S. - 2025 - EdTech Hub

This report examines gender disparities in the use of educational technology (EdTech) among students in Pakistan, with the aim of informing policies that foster more inclusive and equitable digital learning environments. Drawing on data from a survey of over 2,000 teachers and interviews with EdTech stakeholders in Islamabad, the report explores how sociocultural norms and parental attitudes shape differential access to and use of EdTech at home—particularly disadvantaging female students....

This chapter focuses on how researchers and practitioners negotiate the focus of their joint work within design-based implementation research (DBIR). Studying and facilitating successful negotiation of the problems that become the focus of work and the search for solutions is important for developing DBIR, because of its commitment to focusing on persistent problems of practice from multiple stakeholders’ perspectives. Case studies of two different research–practice partnerships provide a...
