This Rapid Evidence Review (RER) provides a synthesis of recent evidence relating to teaching practices and pedagogies for emergency remote learning. The main aim of this review is to provide education decision-makers, funders, and implementers (among others) with a clear understanding of the available global evidence on effective practices in teaching when students are educated remotely during emergencies, and to assess the relevance of this evidence for low- and middle-income contexts. The...

This Learning Brief is part of the EdTech Hub Learning Brief Series, providing practical resources for people working to improve the use of technology in education. In this brief, we look at how in-service Communities of Practice (CoPs) support teacher learning and how EdTech can enhance this aspect of teacher professional development (TPD) in low- and middle-income countries. In-service CoPs have become an important component of TPD, creating spaces where teachers can share their knowledge...

This Rapid Evidence Review provides a synthesis of recent evidence relating to the implementation of EdTech programmes, platforms, and devices for learners in contexts of forced displacement. The main aim of the review is to provide education decision-makers, funders, and implementers (among others), with a clear picture of which interventions may be the most effective in these contexts and, crucially, which implementation decisions facilitate or hinder this effectiveness. We reviewed...

This Rapid Evidence Review (RER) provides a synthesis of recent evidence relating to the implementation of EdTech programmes, platforms, and devices in emergency contexts. The main aim of the review is to provide education decision-makers, funders, and implementers (among others) with a clear picture of ‘what works’ regarding EdTech in emergencies. Crucially, it also aims to create an understanding of the conditions necessary to ensure the effectiveness of these interventions. Accordingly,...

The study reported here is for Phase 2 of the research project known as ‘The Impact of a Tech-Supported, School-Based Teacher Continuous Professional Development Model on Learning Outcomes in Tanzania’ and part of the global Empowering Teachers Initiative (ETI), which comprises 10 country projects. It is closely aligned with the implementation of ‘MEWAKA’ (Mafunzo Endelevu kwa Walimu Kazini) or Teacher continuous professional development (TCPD), and the Tanzania National TCPD implementation...

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...

The Sierra Leone Secondary Education Improvement Programme II (SSEIP II) is a five-year programme funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) to support the Ministry of Basic and Senior Secondary Education (MBSSE) to improve learning outcomes for students at secondary level and to increase the enrolment, retention and well-being of girls and children with disabilities in school. Part of the programme includes exploring the use of different digital tools for School...

This Learning Brief is part of the EdTech Hub Learning Brief Series, providing practical resources for people working to improve the use of technology in education. In this brief, we look at the potential for participatory methods to bring teachers closer to the decision-making table. Insights from those closest to the work shed light on the daily contextual realities that can determine the mechanisms for optimal success or failure of a programme. However, these voices are often neglected...

This Learning Brief is part of the EdTech Hub Learning Brief Series, providing practical resources for people working to improve the use of technology in education. In this brief, we look at the behaviour change strategy of leveraging concise messages at strategic decision points (i.e., ‘nudging’) to influence the behaviour of a recipient towards a desired outcome. We focus on EdTech Hub’s work concerning nudge messaging. It builds on work from messaging interventions in Ghana and Kenya,...

Since the launch of the Free Quality School Education (FQSE) Programme in 2018, the Sierra Leone Ministry of Basic and Senior Secondary Education (MBSSE) has prioritised the use of data for decision-making across several education reform programmes. Part of this vision has been to build systems to measure school quality through School Quality Assurance Officers (SQAOs) using data collection and feedback. This system includes using tools for teacher management, lesson observations, school...

This report shares the experience and learning from the activities carried out as part of the Government of Tanzania's efforts to operationalise its National Framework for Teacher Continuous Professional Development (TCPD), which shifts TCPD from discreet workshops to cost-effective, ongoing, school-based professional development. It is among the first of its kind at a national level, particularly in low- and middle-income country contexts. Through a collaborative and responsive approach of...

The Covid-19 pandemic has catalysed the need for technology-enhanced education globally. This is no different in Bangladesh, where the Education Section of the UNICEF Bangladesh Country Office is seeking a better understanding of the role and potential of EdTech to improve numeracy skills among the most marginalised learners. In efforts to do this, UNICEF Bangladesh partnered with EdTech Hub to in which EdTech interventions contribute the most to numeracy learning for marginalised learners...

The Covid-19 pandemic has catalysed the need for technology-enhanced education globally. This is no different in Bangladesh, where the Education Section of the UNICEF Bangladesh Country Office is seeking a better understanding of the role and potential of EdTech to improve numeracy skills among the most marginalised learners, working closely with the government and EdTech Hub to identify how EdTech can best be harnessed to support learning in Bangladesh. This partnership uses the sandbox...

Over the past few months, the EdTech Hub team has analysed and mapped the EdTech research landscape in Sierra Leone. In doing so, we have met a number of individuals and organisations that are exploring if and how technology can support the country’s education sector. In week four, we met with Arthur Saidu, Eusebio Rincon Casado and Maggie Shergill from…
