Exploring the Relationship Between Teachers’ Use of Technology During the Covid-19 Pandemic in India and Their Perspectives on Students’ Motivation to Learn (Working Paper No. 53)

Tailor, K., Hennessy, S., & Jordan, K. - 2023 - EdTech Hub

During the Covid-19 pandemic, a wealth of research emerged to quantify student learning and the accessibility of technology for learners. However, existing evidence highlights that access to technology did not equate to learning, yet few studies have investigated the underlying reasons behind this. As a correlating factor of learning achievement, this report investigates student motivation to learn, as perceived by teachers, and how this may have been influenced by their use of remote...

This rapid scoping study has been conducted by EdTech Hub and the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) Secretariat through the ASEAN-UK Supporting the Advancement of Girls Education (ASEAN-UK SAGE) programme. Through the ASEAN-UK SAGE programme, secondary research has been conducted on the current situation of out-of-school children and youth (OOSCY) in Southeast Asia by Dabrowski et al. (2024) and Barnes et al. (2024). Building on these efforts, this study provides...

Artificial Intelligence and Education Systems in 2035: Fourteen trends and five scenarios for how the future might unfold [Technical Report]

Rahman, A., & Freeman, A. - 2025 - EdTech Hub

This strategic foresight study aims to understand the shifts that might take place in education systems in low- and middle-income country (LMIC) contexts, given developments in artificial intelligence (AI) that might occur over the next 10 years. It begins by capturing fourteen trends, relating to AI that might affect the development of education systems in LMICs. After identifying trends, we combined them to sketch five concrete, tangible scenarios. This understanding will inform a...

https://www.routledge.com/Behavioral-Insights-for-Public-Policy-Concepts-and-Cases/Ruggeri/p/book/9781138484238 The first decades of the 21st century have offered a remarkable shift in how policies are made as well as who designs them.

Throughout the U.S.-affiliated Pacific Region, teacher absenteeism has posed a long-standing challenge. This report draws on research literature from international contexts and case studies to identify the underlying factors that may relate to teacher absenteeism. Resources included in this report were selected with a focus on non-U.S. Pacific entities and emerging economy contexts that might be most relevant to the U.S.-affiliated Pacific Islands. Different search parameters were used to...

This report presents findings from a global mapping exercise of 471 national digital platforms across 184 countries that was conducted by EdTech Hub following a Helpdesk request from UNICEF. The mapping exercise focused on examining three key areas of availability, usability, and inclusivity of national digital learning platforms. The study found that 32% of identified national digital learning platforms no longer exist, have not been updated since 2020, or have links that do not work. Only...

The increasing use of stakeholder analysis in natural resource management reflects a growing recognition that stakeholders can and should influence environmental decision making. Stakeholder analysis can be used to avoid inflaming conflicts, ensure that the marginalization of certain groups is not reinforced, and fairly represent diverse interests. We present a case study from the Peak District National Park in the United Kingdom, where we used social network analysis to inform stakeholder...

Pre-service education students entering university can be categorised broadly into two distinct groups, those who are coming directly from secondary school and those who are not. The second group can be quite diverse, ranging in age, academic and/or work experience. However, what both of these groups share is a digital expectation and they expect upon completion of their studies to be more digitally fluent than when they entered university, they expect to be taught via a range of digital...
