Returns to investment in education: a decennial review of the global literature - Psacharopoulos, George; Patrinos, Harry Anthony (Education Economics, 2018)
In the 60-plus year history of returns to investment in education estimates, there have been several compilations in the literature. This paper updates Psacharopoulos and Patrinos and reviews the latest trends and patterns based on 1120 estimates in 139 countries from 1950 to 2014. The private average global return to a year of schooling is 9% a year. Private returns to higher education increased, raising issues of financing and equity. Social returns to schooling remain high. Women continue to experience higher average returns to schooling, showing that girls’ education remains a priority.

Blended Learning Approach to Develop the Teachers’ TPACK - Qasem, Arwa Ahmad Abdo; Viswanathappa, Gandla (Contemporary Educational Technology, 2016)
A theoretical framework has emerged recently to guide research in the teachers’ use of ICT and it is the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). Early research indicates that Blended learning is increasingly being adopted at all levels of educational system. It is considered as a way to foster engaging in interactive learning experiences. The purpose of this article was to determine the levels of ICT knowledge on e-course design through blended learning approach among science teachers of secondary schools in Yemen. The study was conducted on the sample of 60 science teacher trainees in Ibb city. The ICT knowledge scale was used based on TPACK. To analyze the data t-test was used. The findings in this study indicated that TPACK has provided a valuable tool for assessing teacher knowledge in the area of technology integration, the teachers’ ICT knowledge was above average in two groups, and there is significant difference between experimental and control groups on ICT knowledge scale. Recommendations are made for future research on online collaboration activities to raise awareness of factors related to online group work and to determine the in-service training needs of teachers on ICT use to follow-up support and to ensure successful utilization of new technologies.

Factors determining digital divide in Ghana's basic schools - Quaicoe, James Sunney; Pata, Kai (2015 IST-Africa Conference, 2015)
This paper explores the concept of digital divide (DD) in Ghana’s basic schools in Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis in Western Region. We tested the ICT culture variables as well as school location factor in respect to school’s digital divide. A survey sample contained 17 regional city schools from three different locations – central city in the region, towns away from the central city, and village schools. The survey instrument was developed with ten ICT culture variables. The variables in the instrument met the Cronbach’s Alpha threshold value of α = 0.70. Data was analysed with Descriptive statistics, Hierarchical Cluster analysis, Independent t-test, and Canonical discriminant analysis. We found that school location did not determine the schools DD, nonetheless the schools were digitally divided, – 2 clusters were found among schools. This DD was determined by certain ICT culture variables: Teacher’s ICT competences and the usage of ICT in Teacher’s professional practice were paramount.

Modelling Factors Influencing Digital Readiness: A Case of Teachers in Ghana’s Basic School System - Quaicoe, James Sunney; Pata, Kai (Advances in Web-Based Learning – ICWL 2015)
This study explored the factors involved in developing teachers’ digital readiness towards ICT integration in basic schools. A survey with teachers in the Western Ghana was carried out; a sample (N = 85) teachers from 17 schools selected from the urban, peri-urban and rural areas participated. We used Valsiner’s Zone of Free Movement (ZFM) and Zone of Promoted Action (ZPA) to model the factors in which teachers’ digital readiness is formed as the final level of Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). In our hypothetical model, ZFM comprised factors related with surrounding ICT environment in schools, and teachers’ culturally defined predispositions related to ICT use and issues; ZPA an intervention-related factor projected teacher actions within ZFM to facilitate learning in the range of ZPD. The hypothesised model was evaluated with SEM-Path analysis – using regression analysis. The final path model indicated that the ZFM factors related with ICT environment in schools and the culturally defined predispositions related to ICT use; constrained the intervention-related ZPA factor that in turn has impact on teachers’ digital activities. In addition, ZFM factors directly influenced at what level of digital knowledge, -application, -skills and -confidence teachers arrived, and what their projections in using ICT were in the final stage of ZPD.

Teachers’ digital literacy and digital activity as digital divide components among basic schools in Ghana - Quaicoe, James Sunney; Pata, Kai (Education and Information Technologies, 2020)
This survey-based study explores the nature of Digital Divide among Ghana’s basic (primary and junior high) schools from the perspective of Teachers’ Digital Literacy and their usage of digital technologies in school. The ICT-enhanced Teacher Standards for Africa (ICTeTSA) Framework comprising digital attitude, knowledge, skills and application components was used for measuring the perceived Teacher Digital Literacy, while, the European Union’s rubrics for measuring ICT frequency in schools was adopted for estimating the extent of teachers’ digital technology usage/activities. The study covered six districts in Ghana with 233 teachers (n = 233) sampled from 45 schools. Based perceptions of the Teacher Digital Literacy two significantly different Digital Divide clusters were found among schools that diverged based on the teachers’ digital application component of Teacher Digital Literacy. While, most schools teachers claimed an above average level of Teacher Digital Literacy; however, more than 50% of the schools are digitally proactive. Suggesting that teachers appear not to be actually using ICT tools and digital resources for professional practice. The cluster of schools differentiated by the extent of digital activities (TDA) were performed weekly. The study reveals several critical issues of teachers’ digital empowerment for technology in Ghana’s basic schools, of which school-based management (SBM) governance be adapted to address them.

The Teachers’ Digital Literacy: Determining Digital Divide in Public Basic Schools in Ghana - Quaicoe, James Sunney; Pata, Kai (Information Literacy: Moving Toward Sustainability)
This study explored the role of the teacher’s digital literacy (TDL) among other schools’ digital culture (SDC) components in determining Digital Divide (DD) among Ghana’s basic schools. A paper-based survey was conducted with teachers and head-teachers from randomly sampled 17 basic schools in various locations in Ghana. The questionnaire was adopted from the Institute for Capacity Building – UNESCO and EU rubrics for measuring ICT in education; and explored nine Digital Culture components including TDL. Data were analysed using K-means Clustering, Correlation analysis, Discriminant analysis, and Independent-samples T-test. The schools were clustered based on SDC components into two DD groups; the principal influencing factors were Teachers’ digital literacy and ICT related policy documents. The school groups particularly differed based on whether they not only had the digital literacy competences, but also applied these competences in their teaching and professional development in schools. We argue that in spite of training for TDL, many schools still lack other digital culture components, and this may hinder them in applying ICT in their schools.

How well do discrete choice experiments predict health choices? A systematic review and meta-analysis of external validity - Quaife, Matthew; Terris-Prestholt, Fern; Di Tanna, Gian Luca; Vickerman, Peter (The European Journal of Health Economics, 2018)
Discrete choice experiments (DCEs) are economic tools that elicit the stated preferences of respondents. Because of their increasing importance in informing the design of health products and services, it is critical to understand the extent to which DCEs give reliable predictions outside of the experimental context. We systematically reviewed the literature of published DCE studies comparing predictions to choices made in reality; we extracted individual-level data to estimate a bivariate mixed-effects model of pooled sensitivity and specificity. Eight studies met the inclusion criteria, and six of these gave sufficient data for inclusion in a meta-analysis. Pooled sensitivity and specificity estimates were 88% (95% CI 81, 92%) and 34% (95% CI 23, 46%), respectively, and the area under the SROC curve (AUC) was 0.60 (95% CI 0.55, 0.64). Results indicate that DCEs can produce reasonable predictions of health-related behaviors. There is a great need for future research on the external validity of DCEs, particularly empirical studies assessing predicted and revealed preferences of a representative sample of participants.

Careers in Motion: A Longitudinal Retention Study of Role Changing Among Early-Career Urban Educators - Quartz, Karen; Thomas, Andrew; Anderson, Lauren; Masyn, Katherine; Lyons, Kimberly; Olsen, Brad (Teachers College Record, 2008)
Background/Context Teacher retention, especially of qualified teachers within high-poverty schools, is an issue of local, national, and international concern. School staffing research has typically examined two groups: those who remain in full-time classroom teaching versus those who quit teaching altogether. This article complicates the teacher staffing picture and adds a third category of attrition: role changing, which is the phenomenon of teachers shifting into nonteaching professional roles in the field of education. Purpose We asked what proportion of teacher career movement within our sample was attributable to leaving teaching versus role changing. Further, we wanted to know the influence of race/ethnicity, gender, credential type, and age on role-changing patterns. Research Design To deepen our understanding of teacher career patterns, we conducted a 6-year longitudinal study that involved collecting survey data on teacher career movement, school experiences, and attitudes from 838 well-prepared urban educators in their first through eighth career year. These educators had all completed master's degrees in the teacher education program of a high-status urban public university and all began their careers as teachers. After collecting the data, we documented and diagrammed career patterns. In addition, we analyzed the influence of select time invariant covariates on the hazard probabilities of both role changing and leaving education. Findings/Results The study found that not only did teachers move into a variety of non-teaching roles within the field of education, but they also followed diverse career “pathways” along the way. Survival analysis substantiated prior research showing that Latino teachers have lower attrition rates from the field of education compared with White teachers, but this effect disappeared for role changing with the field. In terms of gender, the men in our population were less likely to leave education entirely than women but more likely to leave teaching for a role change in career years 3–8. Teachers with single-subject (secondary) credentials were more likely than their colleagues who held multiple-subject (elementary) credentials to leave teaching for a role change in education. Conclusions/Recommendations Set within the framework of teacher professionalism, we argue that role changing is a form of sanctioned attrition and that understanding movement among roles within the educational workforce is essential for crafting policies and incentives to keep well-prepared teachers rooted in careers that serve the nation's most under-served students.

Working Towards Education Success Using Data: A review of Ghana's journey towards improved learning outcomes using data - Radford, Kate; Ampofo, Rudolph (EdTech Hub, 2024)
The sub-Saharan Africa region is trapped in a learning crisis with devastating implications for children. The Covid-19 pandemic further exacerbated the situation, with children losing an estimated equivalent of an additional year’s learning. Not addressing the regional learning crisis will have a detrimental impact on economic development and well-being and risks restricting future national and regional economic growth and productivity and fuelling social unrest. Education research has shown that good quality education system data, when judiciously used, can support improved learning outcomes among a host of other positive impacts on national education systems. This case study is the first in a series documenting the journey of Ghana’s Ministry of Education towards the effective use of data to guide its decision-making for policy and practice.

Remote Learning: Evidence from Nepal during COVID-19 - Radhakrishnan, Karthika; Sabarwal, Shwetlena; Sharma, Uttam; Cullen, Claire; Crossley, Colin; Letsomo, Thato; Angrist, Noam (World Bank, 2021)
This note discusses early results from a distance education program on foundational numeracy for primary school students in Nepal during Coronavirus (COVID-19) evaluated in a randomized trial. The trial included 3,700 households with children in public school (grades 3-5). It provided support for foundational numeracy through mobile phone-based tutoring. The trial tested delivery through public school teachers and also through NGO facilitators. It led to a 30 percent increase in foundational numeracy, with teachers being slightly more effective at producing learning gains than NGO facilitators. These results suggest that instructional support through mobile phones can be a high-access and low-cost approach to providing instruction at scale

Female Teachers' Perceptions of Quality Education for Adolescent Girls in Rural Bangladesh: A Case Study - Rahim, N (2017)
The education of adolescent girls in Bangladesh must be pursued with the right combination of technology, practicality, and cultural sensitivity to achieve, among other objectives, the objectives of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The problem this study address is despite the availability of mobile-based curricula, such as video, mobile phones, and Short Message System (SMS) technology, female teachers in rural areas are not trained to plan and deliver curricula using mobile platforms. The purpose of this qualitative single case study is to explore barriers associated with female teachers’ training of the use of mobile-based technology in rural areas in Bangladesh. The sample is, randomly selected a minimum of eight local female teachers who had been teaching at least for two years in a rural school in Bangladesh. The data were collected to determine the local teachers’ perception on establishing quality education through virtual (email, mobile phone, IMO, zoom or Skype) interviews administered to these 8 local female teachers. The researcher gathered data from the local female teachers’ point of view based on their motivation to receive training in becoming proficient in English and the use of mobile technology in teaching. A content analysis tool was used for analyzing, interpreting, coding, and categorizing textual data where themes identified based on a comprehensive classification system. The findings from the data analysis would aid schools in recruiting, training, and retaining local female teachers to provide quality education to the adolescent girls. The data from the single case study provided information as to the use of mobile and web technologies in teaching and learning while local female teachers gain proficiency in the English language. The insight gained from this single case study may help develop future technology budgets, infrastructure, and curriculum needs. The findings from research revealed that the rural Bangladeshi school teachers noted that there is limited use of videos in the classrooms for teaching due to, in some parts, the lack of training by school administrators on strategies to use videos in their teaching. Some barriers to the use of videos is due to the lack of Internet connection, the lack of knowledge on the proper use of videos in their teaching, and the lack of administrators’ support for this type of curriculum change in the schools.

Investigating the mediating role of online learning motivation in the COVID-19 pandemic situation in Bangladesh - Rahman, Md. H Asibur; Uddin, Mohammad Shahab; Dey, Anamika (Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021)
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the mediating role of online learning motivation (OLM) in the COVID-19 pandemic situation in Bangladesh by observing and comparing direct lectures (DL), instructor–learner interaction (ILI), learner–learner interaction (LLI), and internet self-efficacy (ISE) as predictors of OLM and online learning satisfaction (OLS). Data were collected from 442 undergraduate and graduate students from more than 35 universities in Bangladesh. To test the hypotheses, the PLS-SEM approach was applied using SmartPLS 3.0. The study shows a significant mediating role of OLM between the independent variables and learning satisfaction. In addition, DL, ILI, and ISE are shown to be significant predictors of student satisfaction. The findings have a number of valuable implications for education policy makers, universities, instructors, and students. Moreover, the study suggests some new research perspectives to overcome the limitations of this research and to gain precise knowledge on students' learning motivation and satisfaction regarding other online classes for different categories of students (e.g., high school and college, professional, and PhD).

This Note presents results from a series of simulations that aim to capture the impacts that school closures in Bangladesh might have on the learning levels, enrollment and future earnings of children and students using a methodological tool developed by the Education Global Practice of the World Bank . We find that overall loss in learning for every child enrolled in school even in the most optimistic scenario is expected to be substantial and the economic implications of the learning losses are huge. Available data also indicates that remote learning requires to be made more effective. It is hoped that the insights from this note will be useful for the government, non-government, private sector and civil society engaged in education service delivery as they are attempting to forge effective partnerships during and after the crisis. There is an urgent need to substantially reduce additional dropouts and absenteeism through stipends and safe school opening and communication campaigns.

From Emergency Remote Teaching to Effective Online Learning: A Teacher Professional Development Case Study from Higher Education in India - Raina, Ashutosh; Rane, Archana; Ngeze, Lucian; Murthy, Sahana; Iyer, Sridhar (Global Perspectives on Educational Innovations for Emergency Situations, 2022)
This chapter describes the design and implementation of an educational solution to prepare teachers and instructors in India for various pedagogical and technological transitions during the pandemic. The goal was to move from an emergency remote teaching approach towards adopting effective online teaching strategies. This solution had to address the key challenge of remote professional development for the online medium while accounting for the diversity in the Indian educational context, taking into account varying needs of learners, teachers, institutions, geography, availability of technology, prior experience, and goals. The solution had two parts: i) a web-based repository for self-learning, consisting of research-based principles, pedagogical strategies and tools for effective design and development of online courses, and ii) synchronous interactive workshops to support instructors in practical implementation of the principles, strategies and tools to make domain specific instruction design decisions. Overall, emphasis was paid to learner engagement, diverse learner needs, peer learning, providing effective feedback and meaningful interaction. The resource repository and workshops guided instructors through making decisions and evaluating trade-offs in their context. This article also provides a brief analysis of the data collected from workshops on teachers’ preparedness at effective integration of technology, and the impact of the OTeach resource repository, which can found at Google Sites and has 25,000+ visitors so far. The article concludes with reflections and recommendations based on our experience.

Work motivation has received as much intensive theoretical development as any topic in OB, and as this chapter will do, OB texts typically review a standard series of theories that have competed for acceptance among researchers. As with other major concepts, such as power, leadership, and attitude, scholars have exhaustively debated the proper definition of motivation, and have reported thousands of studies bearing on the topic.

Aid on the Edge of Chaos: Rethinking International Cooperation in a Complex World - Ramalingam, Ben (Oxford University Press, 2013)
It is widely recognised that the foreign aid system - which today involves every country in the world - is in need of drastic change. But there are conflicting opinions as to what is needed. Some call for dramatic increases in resources, to meet long-overdue commitments, and to scale up what is already being done around the world. Others point to the flaws in aid, and bang the drum for cutting it altogether - and argue that the fate of poor and vulnerable people be best placed in the hands of markets and the private sector. Meanwhile, growing numbers are suggesting that what is most needed is the creative, innovative transformation of how aid works. Aid on the Edge of Chaos is firmly in the third of these camps. In this ground-breaking book, Ben Ramalingam shows that the linear, mechanistic models and assumptions on which foreign aid is built would be more at home in early twentieth century factory floors than in the dynamic, complex world we face today. All around us, we can see the costs and limitations of dealing economies and societies as if they are analogous to machines. The reality is that such social systems have far more in common with ecosystems: they are complex, dynamic, diverse and unpredictable. Many thinkers and practitioners in science, economics, business, and public policy have started to embrace more 'ecologically literate' approaches to guide both thinking and action, informed by ideas from the 'new science' of complex adaptive systems. Inspired by these efforts, there is an emerging network of aid practitioners, researchers, and policy makers who are experimenting with complexity-informed responses to development and humanitarian challenges. This book showcases the insights, experiences, and often remarkable results from these efforts. From transforming approaches to child malnutrition, to rethinking processes of economic growth, from building peace to combating desertification, from rural Vietnam to urban Kenya, Aid on the Edge of Chaos shows how embracing the ideas of complex systems thinking can help make foreign aid more relevant, more appropriate, more innovative, and more catalytic. Ramalingam argues that taking on these ideas will be a vital part of the transformation of aid, from a post-WW2 mechanism of resource transfer, to a truly innovative and dynamic form of global cooperation fit for the twenty-first century.

Education, poverty and "purity" in the context of adolescent girls' secondary school retention and dropout: A qualitative study from Karnataka, southern India - Ramanaik, Satyanarayana; Collumbien, Martine; Prakash, Ravi; Howard-Merrill, Lottie; Thalinja, Raghavendra; Javalkar, Prakash; Murthy, Srikanta; Cislaghi, Ben; Beattie, Tara; Isac, Shajy; Moses, Stephen; Heise, Lori; et al. (PLoS ONE, 2018)
Background Gender-related norms and poverty remain important structural barriers to secondary school attendance among adolescent girls in southern India. We analyse how gender norms interact with family deprivation and dynamics to result in girls dropping out of school; we identify the main facilitators of school retention and changes to gender socialisation. Methods Longitudinal qualitative case studies with 36 girls were nested within a cluster randomized trial to evaluate the Samata intervention targeting adolescent girls in Bagalkote and Vijayapura districts in northern Karnataka. We used two rounds of in-depth interviews, conducted in 2014 at a time when respondents were in 8th standard at the age of 13 to 14 and sixteen months later. We combined thematic and narrative analyses. Results Our study found that poverty and socioeconomic realities at the household level strongly affect conformity with discriminatory gender practices such as restricting girls’ mobility. The value placed on education by parents clearly differentiates the regular school goers from those frequently absent and others who dropped out. With active encouragement of the girls’ educational and career aspirations, parents engendered the girl’s agency to communicate openly both at home and at school, allowing subtle changes to gender performance while resisting the pressure of social sanctions. In contrast, where educational aspirations were weak, parents invested more intensely in enforcing correct performance of gender, prioritising her well-being by aiming to secure her future in a good marriage. Among poorer families, girls’ domestic duties came at the cost of schooling with concerns about protecting her sexual purity predominating. Conclusions In contexts where a strong gender ideology of virginity before marriage rules, subtle shifts in harmful gender practices are possible. Interventions aiming to improve education need to target the most deprived families, focussing on trust building through open communication.

An Investigation of pre-service teachers' motives for using Instagram: Pre-service teachers' motives for using Instagram - Ramazanoğlu, Mehmet; Toytok, Esef Hakan (International Journal of Curriculum and Instruction, 2021)
The aim of the study was to determine the motivations of pre-service teachers to use Instagram program, which is one of the common social media tools, in the context of developments in information and communication technologies in order to achieve sustainable learning and examine them according to various variables. The study was designed via descriptive survey model in the quantitative method. The population of the research consisted of pre-service teachers who pursued their education at the Faculty of Education of Siirt University in the spring term of 2018-2019 academic year. In the study, convenient sampling (easily accessible) and criterion sampling methods were utilized. In this context, 384 of the 495 scales distributed were returned and 56 of them were excluded from the research because they were not properly filled, 163 of them were excluded from the research because they did not meet the criteria; therefore, opinions of 165 pre-service teachers were included in the research and analysed. Personal demographic form and Instagram usage motivation scale were used as data collection tool of the research. The results obtained in the research showed that pre-service teachers use Instagram for social escape / relaxation and personal development / self-expression the most with respect to their motivations to use Instagram while they use it with the purpose of entertainment / habit the least. It was observed that Instagram using motivations of pre-service teachers show significant differences in different factors according to gender, age, department and daily time spent in Instagram variables. In addition, it was found out that pre-service teachers should be able to use the Instagram program, which is one of the world-renowned social networking software, for a sustainable education and training life more dynamically and effectively.

Using a ubiquitous technology for m-learning in Asia: Project MIND in the Philippines - Ramos, Angelo Juan; Librero, Felix; Trinona, Jerome; Ranga, Adelina (2007)
More than a billion and a half people around the world now own a mobile phone. This gives educators the opportunity to explore the possibility of making the mobile phone an important educational tool in developed and developing countries. Specifically, the ubiquity of Short Messaging or SMS technologies has already been proven popular as a form of communication, particularly in Asia and Europe – more so than in North America. This paper describes the experience of a major project being underway, studying SMS mobile applications for non-formal educational purposes in the Philippines. The initiative, called Project MIND (Mobile Technology Initiatives for Non-Formal Education), studies the viability of using SMS as part of a blended learning package for distance non-formal education. We have so far produced learning modules on English and Math students in the Philippines and preliminary results of the pilot will be highlighted in this paper.

A shift from traditional pedagogy in Nepali rural primary schools? Rural teachers' capacity to reflect ICT policy in their practice - Rana, Karna; Greenwood, Janinka; Fox-Turnbull, Wendy; Wise, Stuart (International Journal of Education and Development using Information and Communication Technology, 2018)
Policy by the government of Nepal emphasises the need to develop ICT competencies and suggests the use of ICT will transform traditional models of teaching to ones that are student-centred. This article reports a study of primary teachers' experiences of using digital technologies in rural primary schools in Nepal, and investigates their perceptions of how the availability and use of ICT in their schools has transformed traditional teaching models. It further examines the resources they can access and the training they received. Teachers' accounts of their experiences indicated that the integration of available digital technologies in instructional activities changed their role in the classroom to some extent, created a learner-friendly learning environment and improved aspects of their teaching. The study also found that there was often insufficient access to ICT in and outside the school premises, and that pre-service teacher education, as well as government-provided in-service training, does not cover the use of ICT in instructional activities. Rather provision of infrastructures and training in the use of digital devices is carried out by non-governmental organisations (NGOs). The article argues that for policy to be realised in practice, more sustainable and comprehensive systems need to be developed to train teachers in ICT use and to provide them with necessary facilities.

Teachers’ experiences of ICT training in Nepal: how teachers in rural primary schools learn and make progress in their ability to use ICT in classrooms - Rana, Karna; Greenwood, Janinka; Henderson, Robyn (Technology, Pedagogy and Education, 2022)
This article reports on teachers’ experiences of ICT training in rural areas of Nepal. It discusses aspects of policy documents to help understand the Nepali educational context, before highlighting the challenges of establishing and maintaining infrastructure and professional learning opportunities across a country with challenging terrain and extreme environmental conditions. It then examines teachers’ perceptions in five rural primary schools about their experiences of training to use modern educational technologies in instructional activities. The findings indicate that none of the teachers received training in the use of ICT in their initial teacher education and that the Government has allowed non-governmental organisations to provide ICT infrastructure and training for rural schools and teachers. Although this is a small study, it offers insights into the gap between policy and practice and highlights the contextual challenges of Nepal’s attempts to operate on a global educational level as well as the challenges for teachers.

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.

Rapport d’Observation du Testing BETA - Ranaivosamoelina, Tokiniaina; Rasolohery, Hasiniavo (EdTech Hub, 2025)
This is a report on the Beta testing of a digital learning platform and applications developed for the Ministry of Education in Madagascar. The project aims to train 16,000 teachers, with 2,000 utilising distance learning via tablets. The Beta user testing focused on the pedagogical relevance, usability, and ergonomics of the platform and two offline applications. Twenty-one teachers participated, evaluating tasks like launching applications, navigating content, accessing multimedia, and completing exercises / evaluations. Results showed significant improvement from the Alpha user testing, with high success rates for accessing and navigating modules. However, over 50% of users still found the platform difficult to use, particularly for login, navigation, and profile modification. The applications were generally functional but needed adjustments to content presentation and visual quality. Recommendations included simplifying the platform's interfaces, enhancing user guides, and addressing specific content issues. The document emphasises the importance of ongoing quality assurance and an iterative approach to refining the platform. Keywords: teacher professional development; Madagascar; Moodle; user testing Ce rapport porte sur le test Beta d’une plateforme d’apprentissage numérique et des applications développées pour le Ministère de l’Éducation à Madagascar.

Rapport d’Observation du Testing Alpha - Ranaivosamoelina, Tokiniaina; Rasolohery, Hasiniavo; Koomar, Saalim (EdTech Hub, 2025)
This document, details the Alpha user testing of a digital learning platform and educational applications for the Ministry of National Education of Madagascar, aimed at training 2000 teachers. Conducted in July 2024, the testing focused on functionality and accessibility. Twenty-nine testers, primarily web developers and instructional designers, used a Google Forms questionnaire to evaluate the platform and applications. The results showed that while the platform was generally functional, with most features validated, several areas needed adjustments, particularly in accessibility and specific functions like the quiz timer. The applications had more issues, with several features requiring fixes and accessibility being a significant concern. Key recommendations included diagnosing and fixing defective parts, restructuring modules for better accessibility, optimising multimedia file sizes, and creating a detailed user guide. The testing highlighted the need for improvements before the Beta testing phase with teachers. Keywords: teacher professional development; Madagascar; Moodle; user testing Ce document détaille les tests utilisateurs en phase Alpha d’une plateforme d’apprentissage numérique et d’applications éducatives développées pour le Ministère de l’Éducation Nationale de Madagascar, dans le cadre de la formation de 2 000 enseignants. Réalisés en juillet 2024, ces tests ont porté sur la fonctionnalité et l’accessibilité. Vingt-neuf testeurs, principalement des développeurs web et des concepteurs pédagogiques, ont évalué la plateforme et les applications via un questionnaire Google Forms. Les résultats ont montré que, bien que la plateforme soit globalement fonctionnelle avec la plupart des fonctionnalités validées, plusieurs ajustements étaient nécessaires, notamment en matière d’accessibilité et pour certaines fonctions spécifiques comme le minuteur des quiz. Les applications présentaient davantage de problèmes, plusieurs fonctionnalités nécessitant des corrections et l’accessibilité étant un défi majeur. Les principales recommandations incluaient le diagnostic et la correction des éléments défectueux, la restructuration des modules pour une meilleure accessibilité, l’optimisation de la taille des fichiers multimédias et la création d’un guide utilisateur détaillé. Ces tests ont mis en évidence la nécessité d’améliorations avant la phase de test Beta avec les enseignants.

Using Universal Design for Learning to design standards-based lessons - Rao, Kavita; Meo, Grace (Sage Open, 2016)
The Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework can be used to proactively design lessons that address learner variability. Using UDL guidelines, teachers can integrate flexible options and supports that ensure that standards-based lessons are accessible to a range of learners in their classrooms. This article presents a process that teachers can use as they develop standards-based lesson plans. By “unwrapping” academic standards and applying UDL during the lesson planning process, teachers can identify clear goals aligned with an academic standard and develop flexible methods, assessments, and materials that address the needs and preferences of varied learners. General educators and special educators can use this process to develop inclusive lesson plans that address all learners, with and without disabilities.

Online university teaching during and after the Covid-19 Crisis: Refocusing teacher presence and learning activity - Rapanta, Chrysi; Botturi, Luca; Goodyear, Peter; Guàrdia, Lourdes; Koole, Marguerite (Postdigital Science and Education, 2020)
The Covid-19 pandemic has raised significant challenges for the higher education community worldwide. A particular challenge has been the urgent and unexpected request for previously face-to-face university courses to be taught online. Online teaching and learning imply a certain pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), mainly related to designing and organising for better learning experiences and creating distinctive learning environments, with the help of digital technologies. With this article, we provide some expert insights into this online-learning-related PCK, with the goal of helping non-expert university teachers (i.e. those who have little experience with online learning) to navigate in these challenging times. Our findings point at the design of learning activities with certain characteristics, the combination of three types of presence (social, cognitive and facilitatory) and the need for adapting assessment to the new learning requirements. We end with a reflection on how responding to a crisis (as best we can) may precipitate enhanced teaching and learning practices in the postdigital era.

Pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs towards educational technologies integration in Tanzania - Raphael, Christina; Mtebe, Joel S (Journal of Learning for Development, 2017)
This study examines pre-service teachers’ (N = 386) self-efficacy beliefs towards educational technologies integration in the classroom at the two colleges in Tanzania that prepare secondary education teachers. Using regression analysis, the study found out that the determinants of self-efficacy beliefs among pre-service teachers towards educational technologies integration are support, perceived ease of use, performance expectancy, and social influence. The findings of this study enhance our understanding of factors that hinder teachers from integrating educational technologies into the classroom.

Challenges in the online component of blended learning: A systematic review - Rasheed, Abubakar Rasheed; Kamsin, Amirrudin; Abdullah, Nor Aniza (Computers & Education, 2020)
Blended learning is widely regarded as an approach that combines the benefits afforded by face-to-face and online learning components. However, this approach of combining online with face-to-face instructional components have raised concerns over the years. Several studies have highlighted the overall challenges of blended learning mode of instruction as a whole, but there has been no clear understanding of the challenges that exist in the online component of blended learning. Thus, a systematic review of literature was conducted with the aim of identifying the challenges in the online component of blended learning from students, teachers and educational institutions perspectives. Self-regulation challenges and challenges in using learning technology are the key challenges that students face. Teachers challenges are mainly on the use of technology for teaching. Challenges in the provision of suitable instructional technology; and effective training support to teachers are the main challenges faced by educational institutions. This review highlights the need for further investigations to address students, teachers and educational institutions challenges in blended learning. In addition, we proposed some recommendations for future research.

Efficacy of Think Tanks in Influencing Public Policies: The Case of Bangladesh - Rashid, A (Asian Journal of Political Science, 2013)
This article analyzes contextual and organizational challenges and constraints faced by think tanks in Bangladesh. It argues that while think tanks have been visible in the policy discourse through fostering policy debates and advocating policy proposals, their direct impact on policy outcomes remains limited. Think tanks’ research findings are often interpreted through the prism of politics. A number of think tanks are institutionally weak and face challenges in funding, attracting researchers, and retaining research focus. Think tanks can potentially focus attention to the wider policy community, and emphasize intermediate influences, such as, building capacity, wider networking and interacting with a broader base of policy-makers, in order to be effective and relevant in the policy discussions.

Medium‐term expenditure frameworks: Credible instrument or mirage? - Raudla, Ringa; Douglas, James W.; MacCarthaigh, Muiris (Public Budgeting & Finance, 2022)
Medium‐term expenditure frameworks (MTEFs) are typically viewed as instruments to expand budget horizons beyond one year and to limit spending growth over the medium term (usually three to ﬁve years). In response to the ﬁscal crisis and EU requirements, many countries in Europe have adopted MTEFs over the past decade. We use elite interviews to examine whether the formal enactment of such frameworks has led to changes in actual budget practices in Finland, Austria, Portugal, and Ireland. Our analysis shows that the newly adopted MTEFs have not acted as binding constraints on ﬁscal policy.

Aspirations, poverty, and economic change - Ray, Debraj (Understanding Poverty, 2006)
This essay discusses a particular aspect of poverty: its close and brutal association with a failure of aspirations. This is not an assertion about individuals who are poor; it is a statement about the condition of poverty itself. Poverty stifles dreams, or at least the process of attaining dreams. Thus, poverty and the failure of aspirations may be reciprocally linked in a self-sustaining trap. This essay seeks to draw out various aspects of this theme and, in the process, to introduce and discuss an aspirations-based view of individual behavior.

Interactive radio instruction – a legacy of COVID-19 for marginalized adolescent girls of Baluchistan - Raza, Mehwish (Journal for Multicultural Education, 2022)
Purpose This paper aims to report insights from the planning and execution phase of an interactive radio instruction (IRI) intervention envisioned as a medium-term response plan to address school closures amidst the global Coronavirus pandemic. The project has been envisioned by a local development agency in the province of Balochistan for adolescent out-of-school (OOS) girls. Design/methodology/approach This study reports respondents’ academic achievement through the one-group pretest-posttest design method across numeracy, literacy, civic education and indigenous crafts. Participating adolescent girl respondents were randomly selected from six districts of Balochistan and the results assert a positive impact of IRI intervention. Thus, showcasing IRI as a promising approach to address protracted challenges of educational accessibility in remote areas of Pakistan. Findings The mean score comparison of pre-test–post-test across four curriculum subjects indicates the greatest gains in numeracy and civic education. Results also highlight the significance of the pedagogical capacity of IRI developers and the quality of supplementary educational kits paired with IRI during this intervention. Research limitations/implications The findings of this study focus on design and implementation phases eliminating the analysis of learners’ behaviour, environmental factors and family support. Further research is suggested to identify gaps in related dimensions for the success of IRI in Pakistan. Originality/value This study contributes data-driven findings from a pioneer on-going IRI project in Balochistan, a hard-to-reach province where the ratio of OOS adolescent girls exceeds 78%. This study also proposes vital steps for the longevity of IRI to solve protracted educational crises in Pakistan.

Global, regional and national burden of emergency medical diseases using specific emergency disease indicators: analysis of the 2015 Global Burden of Disease Study - Razzak, Junaid; Usmani, Mohammad Farooq; Bhutta, Zulfiqar A. (BMJ Global Health, 2019)
Objective There are currently no metrics for measuring population-level burden of emergency medical diseases (EMDs). This study presents an analysis of the burden of EMDs using two metrics: the emergency disease mortality rate (EDMR) and the emergency disease burden (EDB) per 1000 population at the national, regional and global levels. Methods We used the 1990 and 2015 Global Burden of Disease Study for morbidity and mortality data on 249 medical conditions in 195 countries. Thirty-one diseases were classified as ‘emergency medical diseases’ based on earlier published work. We developed two indicators, one focused on mortality (EDMR) and the other on burden (EDB). We compared the EDMR and EDB across countries, regions and income groups and compared these metrics from 1990 to 2015. Results In 2015, globally, there were 28.3 million deaths due to EMDs. EMDs contributed to 50.7% of mortality and 41.5% of all burden of diseases. The EDB in low-income countries is 4.4 times that of high-income countries. The EDB in the African region is 273 disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) per 1000 compared with 100 DALYs per 1000 in the European region. There has been a 6% increase in overall mortality due to EMDs from 1990 to 2015. Globally, injuries (22%), ischaemic heart disease (17%), lower respiratory infections (11%) and haemorrhagic strokes (7%) made up about 60% of EMDs in 2015. Conclusion Globally, EMDs contributed to more than half of all years of life lost. There is a significant disparity between the EDMR and EDB between regions and socioeconomic groups at the global level.

Teaching and Learning Materials Financing - Read, Tony (Where Have All the Textbooks Gone?: Toward Sustainable Provision of Teaching and Learning Materials in Sub-Saharan Africa, 2015)
Suggests that no single universal cause behind the persistent under-financing of textbook provision in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries exists, but some common components include, (1) the pressure on teaching and learning materials (TLM) budgets caused by rapid enrollment growth; (2) the repeated tendency for curriculum designers to make decisions without taking into account the cost implications on the system as a whole; (3) the failure of development partner (DP) support to addressed affordability and sustainability issues; (4) the misunderstanding of ministries of education (MOEs) and DPs concerning manufacturing versus textbook cost as well as textbook versus system cost; (5) the lack of review and management of the nature and extent of fund diversion, fund misappropriation, piracy, and price mark-ups in undermining allocated TLM funding; and (6) the lack of monitoring, inspection, supervision, and financial audit systems necessary to ensure that all links in the financing and supply chain operate effectively.

Exploring the benefits and challenges of AI-language learning tools - Rebolledo Font de la Vall, Roxana; Gonzalez Araya, Fabian (International Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities Invention, 2023)
AI language learning tools are computer programs or software applications that use artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to help users learn and improve their skills in a foreign language. These technologies have a lot of benefits, such as the ability to save time and speed up learning, to give students personalized learning experiences, and to help them learn about other cultures. In this study, the scientific literature was looked at to find out the pros, cons, opportunities, and challenges of using AI language learning tools, such as the need for more human interaction, the complexities of language in context, and the fact that training needs a lot of data. In the future, these AI tools could be used to make changes, like combining VR and AR, developing better algorithms for processing natural language, and using more advanced algorithms for adaptive learning. By addressing these problems and limitations, AI learning systems could become even more powerful and valuable tools for learning languages. Their integration is critical to improving the effectiveness and efficiency of learning user experience solutions.

An E-Learning Approach to Secondary School Education”: E-Readiness Implications in Kenya - Redempta, Kiilu (Journal of Education and Practice, 2012)
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has the potential to enhance access, quality, and effectiveness in education. This paper examines the E-readiness implication on the adoption of e-learning in secondary schools in Kenya. The paper provides an opportunity for reflection on e-learning adoption and the potential role ICT can plays in education. The review has established that up to date, less than 10% of secondary schools in Kenya offer computer studies as a subject in the curriculum despite its perceived potential. The few schools that have an ICT programme limit the number of candidates who take up the subject considering it a specialty irrespective its being an essential subject as other compulsory subjects like Mathematics and Languages. Whereas the processing of information to build knowledge is one of the essential literacy skills vital for the workforce in the 21st century, it is often overlooked in current educational practices. the question of ereadiness of Kenyan schools cannot be overlooked if Kenya plans to use education as a platform for becoming an e-society of the 21st century as envisaged in Vision 2030.Therefore, it is imperative that E-Readiness issues be effectively addressed lest new technology introduced further marginalizes the already deprived Kenyan children. Desktop review of relevant literature was guided by Current Situation Analysis (CSA) which is equivalent to Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) Analysis.

Exploring the summer reading effect through visual analysis of multiple datasets - Reed, Deborah K.; Aloe, Ariel M.; Park, Seohee; Reeger, Adam J. (Journal of Research in Reading, 2021)
Historically, there has been concern about students losing reading ability over extended breaks from school, commonly in the summer, but studies of this phenomenon have produced inconsistent results. We applied exploratory visual analysis of multiple datasets to examine whether students in Grades K-5 appear to lose or improve in various reading abilities over the summer and across consecutive school years. Archival data were obtained on students of different U.S. school districts who did not participate in a formal summer reading programme. Data were disaggregated by groups considered most vulnerable to summer loss: those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and those identified with disabilities. Given the variety of measure types and scores, we centred scores on each measure's cut point for proficiency in a particular grade level to depict how students' scores deviated from the proficiency classifications before and after a summer break. Overall, students' scores relative to the benchmark appeared on average to have maintained or improved, and there was no observed accumulated decrement in reading performance across years. For anomalous instances of summer loss, we offer possible alternative explanations such as measurement artefacts and unrehearsed learning. Visual analysis of the datasets suggested that summer breaks were not associated with systematic losses of students' reading ability, even among those considered most vulnerable to the phenomenon. However, available assessments and benchmarks are not designed to measure summer learning specifically, and little is known about the kinds of literacy experiences students not in formal programmes might be having. Thus, more research on summer maturation and degeneration is warranted.

Ethical challenges of edtech, big data and personalized learning: twenty-first century student sorting and tracking - Regan, Priscilla M.; Jesse, Jolene (Ethics and Information Technology, 2019)
With the increase in the costs of providing education and concerns about financial responsibility, heightened consideration of accountability and results, elevated awareness of the range of teacher skills and student learning styles and needs, more focus is being placed on the promises offered by online software and educational technology. One of the most heavily marketed, exciting and controversial applications of edtech involves the varied educational programs to which different students are exposed based on how big data applications have evaluated their likely learning profiles. Characterized most often as ‘personalized learning,’ these programs raise a number of ethical concerns especially when used at the K-12 level. This paper analyzes the range of these ethical concerns arguing that characterizing them under the general rubric of ‘privacy’ oversimplifies the concerns and makes it too easy for advocates to dismiss or minimize them. Six distinct ethical concerns are identified: information privacy; anonymity; surveillance; autonomy; non-discrimination; and ownership of information. Particular attention is paid to whether personalized learning programs raise concerns similar to those raised about educational tracking in the 1950s. The paper closes with discussion of three themes that are important to consider in ethical and policy discussions.

Many schools and educational districts worldwide are using videoconference technology to deliver courses to students as an economic solution when they cannot afford specialised teachers at remote locations. However, teachers are rarely trained to use this instructional technology and must therefore translate their experience in face-to-face and/or online teaching to this alternative medium. The collective case study used observations and interviews of eight teachers across five schools to identify the specific skills required to teach in a way that they perceived as successful in a videoconference class. It was found that teachers are largely under-prepared with strategies to project presence, develop relationships, foster interaction, manage the course and teach content across a distance when the screen is the main tool of connection. The authors offer a path to improvement that involves supporting teacher action research, creating communities of inquiry and developing teaching quality standards specific to videoconference.

Language policy in Ghana and Malawi: differing approaches to multilingualism in education - Reilly, Colin; ResCue, Elvis; Chavula, Jean Josephine (Journal of the British Academy, 2022)
Despite substantial international evidence that children learn best in a language which they understand, language-in-education policies in much of Africa do not effectively accommodate the range of languages found in the classroom, instead prescribing dominant national languages and/or colonial languages such as English. Further, these language policies continue to reflect a monoglossic conceptualisation of languages and do not adequately account for the multilingual repertoires of individuals and communities. They do not reflect an understanding of the ways in which multilingual language practices could be harnessed for education. This article provides a comparative overview of the policy context in Malawi and Ghana, at the levels of legislation, practice, and attitudes. Through interviews, questionnaires, classroom observations, and classroom recordings in primary schools, we highlight the multilingual realities of educational spaces in each country. We highlight that, despite different sociolinguistic and legislative contexts, there are similarities between these contexts which emerge as important factors when considering multilingualism within education.

Towards a classroom pedagogy for learner autonomy: a framework of independent language learning skills - Reinders, Hayo (Australian Journal of Teacher Education, 2010)
In recent years there has been a growing recognition of the importance of learner autonomy and the role of individual learners in directing their own learning process, both inside and outside the classroom (Alford & Pachler, 2007; Benson, 2000; Breen, 2001; Conacher & Kelly-Holmes, 2007). However, in practice it is not always clear how to support learners in this role, and how to ensure they are ready to assume it. This paper explores some of the teaching aspects related to the development of learner autonomy and proposes a framework of skills that could be used by teachers as a guide to increasing learner responsibility. Although this framework was developed in the context of language education, its underlying theories apply to all educational settings.

Scales for Rating the Behavioral Characteristics of Superior Students. Technical and Administration Manual. - Renzulli, Joseph S.; Smith, Linda H.; White, Alan J.; Callahan, Carolyn M.; Hartman, Robert K.; Westberg, Karen L. (ERIC, 2002)
This manual describes development and use of the revised "Scales for Rating the Behavioral Characteristics of Superior Students" (SRBCSS-R), a teacher judgment instrument appropriate for use as one measure in the identification of gifted students. Part 1 explains the judgmental and empirical procedures used to revise the items on the original SRBCSS-R and the methods for conducting two field test administrations of the revised scales. It also presents the results from the analyses and the reliability and validity evidence. Two tables summarize the construct validity data and the criterion-related data on teacher judgment measures. Part 2 provides instructions for administering and interpreting the SRBCSS-R and describes purposes for using the scales, guidelines for using the scales correctly, a teacher training exercise, and how to establish local norms. Five appendices include: the second field test version of the SRBCSS-R, a brief scale for rating student performance in a gifted program, a sample SRBCSS-R, the full teacher-training exercise for using the SRBCSS-R, guidelines for calculating local percentile rank norms, and an article, "A Practical System for Identifying Gifted and Talented Students" by Joseph S. Renzulli. (DB)

Family engagement in early learning opportunities at home and in early childhood education centers in Colombia - Rey-Guerra, Catalina; Maldonado-Carreño, Carolina; Ponguta, Liliana Angelica; Nieto, Ana María; Yoshikawa, Hirokazu (Early Childhood Research Quarterly, 2022)
Family engagement in early learning and education is considered a key predictor of children's development. However, little is known about the link between family engagement in early learning opportunities in sociocultural diverse contexts, particularly in low- and-middle-income countries. This study examined the associations of family engagement in home learning activities (e.g., reading books, naming things) and in early childhood care and education centers (ECCE; e.g., attending meetings or workshops, helping inside the classroom) with young children's emergent literacy and numeracy, social-emotional functioning, motor development, and executive functions, as measured through direct assessment. Data came from a nationally-representative sample of public ECCE centers in Colombia serving 3–5-year-old children (N = 3069). Multilevel model analyses showed that home-based family engagement was associated with higher emergent numeracy, emergent literacy, social-emotional functioning, and motor development, whereas center-based family engagement was associated only with higher emergent numeracy and literacy development. These results suggest that interventions and policies designed to improve family engagement in early learning opportunities both at the ECCE centers and at the home could have positive and independent effects on early childhood development.

Development of reliable and valid short forms of the marlowe-crowne social desirability scale - Reynolds, William M. (Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1982)
Developed, on the basis of responses from 608 undergraduate students to the 33-item Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale, three short forms of 11, 12, and 13 items. The psychometric characteristics of these three forms and three other short forms developed by Strahan and Gerbasi (1972) were investigated and comparisons made. Results, in the form of internal consistency reliability, item factor loadings, short form with Marlowe-Crowne total scale correlations, and correlations between Marlowe-Crowne short forms and the Edwards Social Desirability Scale, indicate that psychometrically sound short forms can be constructed. Comparisons made between the short forms examined in this investigation suggest the 13-item form as a viable substitute for the regular 33-item Marlowe-Crowne scale.

Teachers of Refugees: A Review of the Literature - Richardson, Emily (Education Development Trust, 2018)
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimates that 65.6 million people are forcibly displaced, having either crossed national borders or become internally displaced within their own countries. Of this estimate, over 22.5 million are refugees. Over half of the world's refugees are children. With an average length of displacement of approximately 20 years, the majority of these children will spend their entire childhoods away from home. Refugee children have limited access to basic social services like healthcare and education. Given the length of their displacement, generations of refugee children throughout the world could miss out on education altogether. Numerous studies show that the teacher is the most important in-school factor affecting the quality of education, particularly in refugee contexts, where the teacher is sometimes the only resource available to students. In refugee contexts where infrastructure and resources are limited, the role of the teacher is particularly important to the quality of education. However few studies to date have examined the role of teachers in refugee contexts. With more literature focusing on refugee children and youth, little is known about who the teachers of refugees are and how they are recruited, trained, retained, compensated and managed in their contexts. Importantly, there is little research on national teachers who are teaching refugee children; rather, much of the available literature focuses on refugee teachers – that is, teachers who are also refugees. In addition, this lack of literature on teachers of refugees hinders our understanding not only of their needs but also of 'how refugees can contribute to education in their host countries and (eventually) to their home countries'. The purpose of this literature review is to survey policies, practices and debates that governments and their partners must navigate to provide education for refugee populations, and the strategies they have used to select and manage teaching forces. The review analyses findings from the main literature on teachers of refugees according to the following themes: (1) recruitment, certification and selection of teachers; (2) teacher preparation and development; (3) teacher remuneration and incentives; and (4) teacher retention. In addition, for each of these themes, this review highlights the salient gaps in the research and suggests an agenda for further research. [Co-written with Leonora MacEwen and Ruth Naylor.]

Culture, Gender and Technology Enhanced Learning: Female and Male Students' Perceptions across three Countries - Richter, Thomas; Zelenkauskaite, Asta (International Conference e-Learning, 2014)
With the on-going “Learning Culture Survey”, we aim to foster the implementation of culture-sensitive education. The motivation of this study is based on the need of a better understanding of the reasons for intercultural conflicts in education. These issues are particularly pertinent to international learning scenarios, such as in urban education, or Internet-based e-Learning. The results of this research are geared towards a development of activities that prevent students from losing their initial learning motivation. With our standardized questionnaire, we collected and analysed data from Germany, Ghana, and South Korea. In such a comparative culture-related analysis, the population is usually considered as a whole, regardless of the respondents’ socio-cultural differences and assuming a single representative value per item. In this paper, we first analyse and discuss the results of our questionnaire' section “Gender Issues”. Afterwards, we analyse the overall questionnaire data to focus on the extent to which female and male students’ answers differed. Finally, we engage in a discussion to what degree these differences impact the design of e-Learning scenarios.
