A Systematic Scoping Review of the Choice Architecture Movement: Toward Understanding When and Why Nudges Work - Szaszi, Barnabas; Palinkas, Anna; Palfi, Bence; Szollosi, Aba; Aczel, Balazs (Journal of Behavioral Decision Making, 2018)
In this paper, we provide a domain-general scoping review of the nudge movement by reviewing 422 choice architecture interventions in 156 empirical studies. We report the distribution of the studies across countries, years, domains, subdomains of applicability, intervention types, and the moderators associated with each intervention category to review the current state of the nudge movement. Furthermore, we highlight certain characteristics of the studies and experimental and reporting practices that can hinder the accumulation of evidence in the field. Specifically, we found that 74% of the studies were mainly motivated to assess the effectiveness of the interventions in one specific setting, while only 24% of the studies focused on the exploration of moderators or underlying processes. We also observed that only 7% of the studies applied power analysis, 2% used guidelines aiming to improve the quality of reporting, no study in our database was preregistered, and the used intervention nomenclatures were non-exhaustive and often have overlapping categories. Building on our current observations and proposed solutions from other fields, we provide directly applicable recommendations for future research to support the evidence accumulation on why and when nudges work.

Death of mixed methods? Or the rebirth of research as a craft - Symonds, Jennifer E.; Gorard, Stephen (Evaluation & Research in Education, 2010)
The classification by many scholars of numerical research processes as quantitative and other research techniques as qualitative has prompted the construction of a third category, that of ‘mixed methods’, to describe studies that use elements from both processes. Such labels might be helpful in structuring our understanding of phenomena. But they can also inhibit our activities when they serve as inaccurate or limiting descriptors. Based on the observation that mixed methods are fast becoming a common research approach in the social sciences, this paper questions whether the assumptions that are used and perpetuated by mixed methods are valid. The paper calls for a critical change in how we perceive research, in order to better describe actual research processes. A ‘core’ design typology of the mechanisms underlying research structures and processes is posited to encourage creative thinking around alternatives to the three purported paradigms of quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods. This ‘return to basics’ seeks to encourage new and innovative research designs to emerge, and suggests a rebirth of research from the ashes of mixed methods.

An interactive system for finding complementary literatures: a stimulus to scientific discovery - Swanson, DR; Smalheiser, NR (Artificial Intelligence, 1997)
An unintended consequence of specialization in science is poor communication across specialties. Information developed in one area of research may be of value in another without anyone becoming aware of the fact. We describe and evaluate interactive software and database search strategies that facilitate the discovery of previously unknown cross specialty information of scientific interest. The user begins by searching MEDLINE for article titles that identify a problem or topic of interest. From downloaded titles the software constructs input for additional database searches and produces a series of heuristic aids that help the user select a second set of articles complementary to the first set and from a different area of research. The two sets are complementary if together they can reveal new useful information that cannot be inferred from either set alone. The software output further helps the user identify the new information and derive from it a novel testable hypothesis. We report several successful tests and applications of the system.

Using Mobile Phone Texting to Support the Capacity of School Leaders in Ghana to Practise Leadership for Learning - Swaffield, Sue; Jull, Stephen; Ampah-Mensah, Alfred (Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2013)
Several years into a collaborative professional development programme to build the Leadership for Learning capacity of Basic school headteachers throughout Ghana, the challenge is to sustain commitment, deepen understanding and share learning among the school leaders. Employing ubiquitous mobile phone technology, weekly text messages have been sent to the programme's 175 initial participants. During the year of the pilot project different forms of messages have been tried, and feedback from recipients suggests their value. The paper reports experience and findings from the pilot, and considers plans for scaling-up to reach all 18,000 Basic schools across the country.

Using instructional video to improve awareness of scientific approach in science classroom - Susantini, Endang; Faizah, Ulfi; Yonata, Bertha; Kurniasari, Ika; Suryanti (Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2018)
Instructional videos have been developed to engage pre-service teachers to learn how to teach scientific approach in science classroom. This study aimed to improve preservice teachers' awareness of scientific approach in science classroom through instructional video along with their responses. Thirty two pre-service science teachers from Universitas Negeri Surabaya, Surabaya, Indonesia, participated in this study and observed two different instructional videos using video-analysis worksheet supplemented by the supervisor. In response to the instructional video, results showed that pre-service teachers noticed well about application of scientific approach in inquiry-based teaching and cooperative learning models. Pre-service teachers also showed positive views about the instructional videos and became a reflection for their own future teaching actions and practices. Supplementation of the video-analysis worksheet during the implementation and peer-discussion among preservice teachers can be used to improve pre-service teachers' awareness as well as to provide clear exemplary about how to integrate scientific approach at each phase of inquiry-based teaching and cooperative learning models. This study implies that the present instructional videos and followed-up video-analysis task are adequate to facilitate pre-service teachers to understand what to do in actual classroom in terms of applying scientific approach as envisioned by Indonesia curriculum reform.

Ethical Considerations of Conducting Systematic Reviews in Educational Research - Suri, Harsh (Systematic Reviews in Educational Research: Methodology, Perspectives and Application, 2020)
Ethical considerations of conducting systematic reviews in educational research are not typically discussed explicitly. However, systematic reviews are frequently read and cited in documents that influence educational policy and practice. Hence, ethical issues associated with what and how systematic reviews are produced and used have serious implications. It becomes imperative for systematic reviewers to reflexively engage with a variety of ethical issues associated with potential conflicts of interest and issues of voice and representation. This chapter discusses how systematic reviewers can draw upon the philosophical traditions of consequentialism, deontology or virtue ethics to situate their ethical decision-making.

Insights on ESL student teachers reflecting collaboratively online - Suppiah, Shubashini; Wah, (PhD), Lee Kean; Swanto, (PhD), Suyansah; Lajium, (PhD), Denis Andrew (The English Teacher, 2019)
The concept of a collaborative based reflective practice approach is grounded within the theoretical argument that critical reflection can be fostered through the presence of the "knowledgeable other" (Vygotsky, 1978). The present study was a pilot initiative in utilizing EDMODO (a closed educational learning management system) as a platform to explore reflection in a communal approach within a group of pre-service ESL teachers and their teacher educator mentor during a teaching practice placement in the context of the TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) degree programme in an institute of teacher education (ITE) in Malaysia. The aims of the study are: (1) to examine the nature of the online reflection posts; and (2) to explore the nature of interactions that occurred online and the extent it supported collaborative reflection practices. The study employed a qualitative case study design in which five pre-service teachers (n=5) and their teacher educator mentor used EDMODO to post their reflections and carry out discussions for four weeks (n=4). The sources of data were the online reflection posts, the threaded discussion posts and a semi-structured group interview. Despite initial ambiguities and constraints, the EDMODO learning site as a platform for reflective practice showed positive results in that it allowed collaboration and dialogue to take place. Nevertheless, the facilitation of the reflection process requires further inquiry. The findings of the study suggest the need to establish a more systematic and structured approach when fostering critical reflection practices in a communal setting.

Use of Twitter Technology in Educational Learning - Sunday, Ajibo Anthony (The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology, 2021)
This paper explores the use of Twitter technology in educational learning and teaching in education system. The objectives of this study emphasizes on the contributions of Twitter to personal and educational learning experience, and its adoption for professional development in 21st century. Twitter technology was invented as a media outlet in 2006, to provide a unique kind of communication that allows only 140 numbers of characters. It is a technology that permits users to send and receive information on website, from mobile or computer-enabled internet. A Twitter requires a valid email address to sign up for an account and equally set up private profiles in line with the system command. Users share pictures, videos among other educational materials of what is happening in the world. Twitter is a social media platform that has drawn the attention of its users, especially the students and educators around the world. Secondary sources of data collection were adopted in the paper review. In spite of the short comings of Twitter technology, major findings revealed that the use of Twitter technology is becoming a common usage among students and professional development of educators across the world. Recommendations include the need for sustained campaign of the use of Twitter technology in institutions of learning across the world, especially in the developing countries, and the pedagogical adoption of Twitter for professional development of the future of education, as opposed to traditional method of teaching.

A tale of two communication tools: Discussion-forum and mobile instant-messaging apps in collaborative learning - Sun, Zhong; Lin, Chin-Hsi; Wu, Minhua; Zhou, Jianshe; Luo, Liming (British Journal of Educational Technology, 2017)
Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) has shown considerable promise, but thus far the literature has tended to focus on individual technological tools, without due regard for how the choice of one such tool over another impacts CSCL, either in outline or in detail. The present study, therefore, directly compared the learning-related uses of an online discussion forum against such use of a mobile instant-messaging app by the same group of 78 upper-division undergraduate pre-service teachers in China. The participants were asked to use one of the two communication tools during the first of three learning activities, then to switch to the other during the second, and to choose their preferred tool for the third. Based on the results of content analysis, social-network analysis and a survey of the students' attitudes, it was found that while both tools facilitated collaborative learning, they appeared to have different affordances. Specifically, using the online discussion forum resulted in more communication aimed at knowledge construction, while using the mobile instant-messaging app resulted in more social interactions.

A Systematic Review of School-Based Social-Emotional Interventions for Refugee and War-Traumatized Youth - Sullivan, Amanda L; Simonson, Gregory R (Review of Educational Research, 2016)
Refugees often experience significant psychological distress, but many do not receive necessary services. Among children and youth, most mental health services are provided by schools, so schools are an important service provider for young refugees. We conducted a systemic literature review to synthesize and evaluate the existing research on school-based interventions to improve mental health or social-emotional functioning of students who are refugees, asylum seekers, or immigrants with war trauma. Three types of school-based interventions were identified: cognitive behavioral therapy, creative expression, and multitiered or multimodal models. The review identified several interventions with positive effects, as well as multiple interventions that had null or negative effects. We address the implications of this body of intervention research for practice and research.

Role of Educational Technology in Public and Private Institutes at Secondary School Level in District Karak (Khyber Pukhtunkhwa) Pakistan - Suleman, Qaiser; Hussain, Ishtiaq; Akhtar, Zaitoon (International Journal of Learning and Development, 2012)
Educational technology plays a fundamental role in enhancing teaching learning process. It has facilitated instructional process and made it more productive, dynamic and effective. Therefore the study was conducted to explore the role of educational technology in public and private institutes in district Karak (Khyber Pukhtunkhwa) Pakistan in comparative perspectives. The main objectives of the study were: to compare the availability of educational technology in public and private institutions at secondary level; to compare the usability of educational technology in public and private institutions at secondary level and to know the usefulness of educational technology in public and private institutions at secondary level. All the heads, teachers and students in public and private secondary schools in district Karak constituted the population of the study. In order to ensure adequate sample, 60 heads, 180 teachers and 600 students serving and studying in public and private sectors at secondary school level in District Karak were selected randomly. The study was delimited to the selected male public and private secondary schools. The study was also delimited to those technologies which are commonly used. The study was descriptive in nature therefore, the researchers decided to develop questionnaire for the collection of data. A single questionnaire was developed for the whole sample. Pilot testing was conducted to know the weakness, misconceptions and ambiguities of the questions. After conduction of pilot testing, the questionnaire was revised and then its final version was prepared in the light of valuable suggestions of the heads, teachers and students. The researchers personally visited to the respective sample and distributed the questionnaires among the heads, teachers and students in public and private secondary schools. In this way data was collected. After the collection of data, the data was organized, tabulated and analyzed. The researchers decided to apply chi-square for the statistical treatment of the data. Therefore, chi square was applied to compare the responses of the sample. After analysis of the data, it was concluded that educational technologies are not available in both sectors. Some technologies are available in minor amount but these technologies are not used in both public and private sectors.

A Comparative Study of Online and Directly Selected Secondary School Teachers Regarding Teaching Proficiency and Classroom Management in Kohat Division, Pakistan - Suleman, Qaiser; Hussain, Ishtiaq (International Journal of Learning and Development, 2013)
Secondary school teachers occupy the most critical and crucial position in the entire education system (Suleman, et al, 2011a). The purpose of the study was to compare the performance of online and directly selected secondary school teachers regarding teaching proficiency and classroom Management. All the students at secondary school level in Kohat Division, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Pakistan) constituted the population of the study. Only 600 students studying at secondary school level in Kohat Division were selected as sample randomly. The study was delimited to only male students at secondary school level. The study was descriptive type and questionnaire was used as research instrument. Data was collected through personal visits. After the collection of data, it was organized, tabulated, analyzed and interpreted. The statistical tools i.e. means, standard deviation and differences of means were computed for each variable. Significance of difference between the mean values of the responses of students about online and directlly selected secondary school teachers were tested at 0.05 levels by applying t-test. After statisitcal analysis of the data, the researchers conclduded that the overall performance of the directly selected secondary school teachers was better and satisfactory. They were found to have the knowledge of teaching methods and the ability to control classroom disruptive behaviour. Conversely, the overall performance of the online selected secondary school teachers was poor and unsatisfactory. They have no knowledge of teaching methodologies and subject mastery. They were found unable to manage classroom disruptive behaviour and other related activities. Based on findings, it was strongly recommended that a special professional training programme should be arranged to the existing online selected SSTs in teaching methodologies and classroom management to equip them with the modern teaching methods and techniques of managing classroom behaviour so that they become able to perform their duties effectively.

Effect of Computer-Based Blended Learning Strategy on Secondary School Chemistry Students Retention in Individualised and Collaborative Learning Settings in Minna, Nigeria - Suleiman, M.S.; Salaudeen, B.M.; Falode, O.C. (Bulgarian Journal of Science and Education Policy, 2017)
This study investigated effects of Computer-based blended learning strategy on Secondary School Chemistry students retention in individualised and collaborative learning settings in Minna, Niger State, Nigeria. The study adopted a quazi-experimental design and three research questions and three null hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. Multi-staged sampling procedure was used to select a total of 120 (71 female & 49 male) students from three co-educational schools within the study area. The selected students were randomly assigned to experimental group I (Computer based blended learning in individualised setting) experimental group II (Computer based blended learning in collaborative setting) and the control group (lecture method). A multiple-choice question items on Chemistry that was developed, validated by the Chemistry experts was pilot-tested and a reliability coefficient of 0.74 was obtained using test re-test method. The achievement test was administered as instrument for data collection to students as pre-test, post-test and retention test. The data obtained from the administration of research instruments were analysed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) statistics. The results indi-cated that Computer Based Blended learning strategy improved students retention in chemistry in collaborative learning settings better than in individualized learning setting and in lecture method. It was therefore recommended among others that students should be exposed to Computer based blended learning strategy in collaborative learning setting in order to aid their retention of chemistry concepts.

Design Principles for Systematic Search Systems: A Holistic Synthesis of a Rigorous Multi-cycle Design Science Research Journey - Sturm, Benjamin; Sunyaev, Ali (Business & Information Systems Engineering, 2019)
Rigorous systematic literature searches are often described as complex, error-prone and time-consuming because of a prevailing lack of adequate technological assistance. Nonetheless, one of the first steps when conducting a rigorous literature review is finding an appropriate literature sample. The quality of this literature sample is an important factor for the overall quality of the literature review. This article investigates how to design innovative IT systems that effectively facilitate systematic literature searches. Applying the design science research paradigm, the research method consists of multiple design cycles of artifact development, evaluation, and refinement. In doing so, six design principles are derived that intend to increase the comprehensiveness, precision, and reproducibility of systematic literature searches. The results could be helpful for research and practice. The derived design knowledge builds a foundation for future research on systematic search systems and enables new methodological contributions. The results could also guide the development of innovative search systems and features that, eventually, increase the quality and efficiency of information accumulation in different contexts.

E-Learning Sudan, Formal Learning for Out-of-School Children - Stubbé, Hester; Badri, Aiman; Telford, Rebecca (2016)
E-Learning Sudan (ELS) is a custom-built computer/tablet game that provides alternative learning opportunities to Sudanese children who are excluded from education. Unique in ELS is that children can learn mathematics, in their own remote village, without a teacher. This research study assessed the effectiveness of ELS in two pilots through a pretest–posttest control group quasi-experimental design. In Pilot I, 67 children in three remote villages, aged used the game for a period of six weeks, five days a week, 45 minutes a day; the control group did not receive any education.. In Pilot II, 591 children in 19 remote villages, played the game for six months, for a maximum of five times a week, 45 minutes a day; the control group received informal education in out-of-school centers. The results of the analysis on the pretest–posttest data revealed that ELS increased mathematics knowledge acquisition in numeracy and adding significantly and maintained student motivation to learn. Analyses of control group data and EGMA (internationally validates Early Grade Mathematics Assessment) showed that the children in the experimental group learned more than children who received no education at all, informal or formal education. These findings suggest that the implementation of ELS can greatly benefit learning for out-of-school children like in Sudan.

Designing learning opportunities for the hardest to reach - Game-based mathematics learning for out-of-school children in Sudan - Stubbé, Hester (2018)
Worldwide, 61 million children are not in school. Despite many campaigns and initiatives, this number has not decreased over the last 10 years. There is a growing recognition that especially the most marginalised children will not be reached by simply expanding the current education system. Innovative education technology, coupled with a context specific approach, could provide opportunities. This thesis describes a project that attempts to provide education for hard to reach children. To support children to learn, without additional instruction from teachers, it was decided to design and develop a mathematics game, targeting children in Sudan with no ready access to education (in remote areas, nomadic or Internally Displaced People). The overall question of this thesis is: How can children in remote villages in Sudan learn mathematics from playing a mathematics game without additional instruction from teachers? As there was no existing curriculum-based, Arabic mathematics game, a new game had to be designed. Following a research-based approach, a set of requirements for a mathematics game that could reach these children was identified. Then the mathematics game was designed, developed and evaluated. To study whether children in remote villages in Sudan can learn mathematics from playing the game autonomously, two pilots were carried out. Pilot I focused on the question whether out-of-school children in remote villages in Sudan can learn mathematics from playing the game at all. Following positive results, sustained learning was studied in pilot II; a longer pilot, including more children and more, diverse, learning objectives. The question whether children can learn can be answered with a wholehearted ’yes’. Children who played the game have learned as much as, and probably more than, children in the control groups (no education in the same period; informal education in the same period). The set of requirements that was identified and the careful game design have resulted in a mathematics game that is engaging and motivating for the target population, leading to significant learning results. Unintentionally, even the flexibility of the game-based learning approach was proven: children only played an average 2-3 days a week instead of the planned five days a week and still increased their test scores significantly. This shows that skipping a few days a week, or even a whole week once in a while, does not get in the way of learning. Finally, the influence of child-related and context factors on learning effect was studied. The distance to the nearest primary school, self-esteem and self-efficacy showed positive correlations with test results, with a medium effect. At the same time, self-esteem has increased during the pilot. For the Sudan game, this does not mean immediate changes are necessary. When taking the game to a school context, changes should be made. At the same time, the design process and the game components can and have been used to adapt the game. The mathematics game has been adapted for Lebanon and Jordan, with Syrian refugees in mind. In addition, a literacy game for Sudan and Jordan was designed and developed.

Understanding technology adoption: theory and future directions for informal learning - Straub, Evan T. (Review of Educational Research, 2009)
How and why individuals adopt innovations has motivated a great deal of research. This article examines individuals’ computing adoption processes through the lenses of three adoption theories: Rogers’s innovation diffusion theory, the Concerns-Based Adoption Model, the Technology Acceptance Model, and the United Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology. Incorporating all three models, this article suggests technology adoption is a complex, inherently social, developmental process; individuals construct unique yet malleable perceptions of technology that influence their adoption decisions. Thus, successfully facilitating technology adoption must address cognitive, emotional, and contextual concerns. This article also focuses specific attention on adoption theory outside of a formal organization and the implications of adoption theory on informal environments.

Conceptual Modeling: Topics, Themes, and Technology Trends - Storey, Veda C.; Lukyanenko, Roman; Castellanos, Arturo (ACM Computing Surveys, 2023)
Conceptual modeling is an important part of information systems development and use that involves identifying and representing relevant aspects of reality. Although the past decades have experienced continuous digitalization of services and products that impact business and society, conceptual modeling efforts are still required to support new technologies as they emerge. This paper surveys research on conceptual modeling over the past five decades and shows how its topics and trends continue to evolve to accommodate emerging technologies, while remaining grounded in basic constructs. We survey over 5,300 papers that address conceptual modeling topics from the 1970s to the present, which are collected from 35 multidisciplinary journals and conferences, and use them as the basis from which to analyze the progression of conceptual modeling. The important role that conceptual modeling should play in our evolving digital world is discussed, and future research directions proposed.

Computer-Adaptive Testing for Students with Disabilities: A Review of the Literature - Stone, Elizabeth; Davey, Tim (ETS Research Report Series, 2011)
There has been an increased interest in developing computer-adaptive testing (CAT) and multistage assessments for K-12 accountability assessments. The move to adaptive testing has been met with some resistance by those in the field of special education who express concern about routing of students with divergent profiles (e.g., some students with math-based learning disabilities may have difficulty with basic computation but not high level problem solving) and poor performance on early test questions. This paper consists of a literature review focusing on adaptive testing issues for students with disabilities in the K-12 sector. While it is clear that there are issues that will present obstacles to administering accountability tests adaptively to students with disabilities, this synthesis of research and policy developments with respect to this topic will be useful both for development of research agendas and to inform states that are currently using or are considering moving to CAT.

The effectiveness of a one-year online mentoring program for girls in STEM - Stoeger, Heidrun; Duan, Xiaoju; Schirner, Sigrun; Greindl, Teresa; Ziegler, Albert (Computers & Education, 2013)
Although the performance of girls in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is continually improving and is no longer below that of boys in most domains, girls' interests in STEM and participation rates are still too low. Online mentoring may help ameliorate this situation. To test this assumption, a one-year personal mentoring program for eleven to eighteen-year-old female college-preparatory students was evaluated. Mentee and mentor communicate with one another and with other program participants via email, online chat, and forums. To measure program effectiveness, we randomly assigned participants (N = 312) to either a treatment group (N = 208) or a waiting-list control group (N = 104). We collected questionnaire data at three points in time. In comparison to the waiting-list group, the treatment-group participants showed greater levels of desirable short-term and long-term developments. Our findings indicate various advantages for online mentoring for promoting girls' interests in STEM.

The Effectiveness of Direct Instruction Curricula: A Meta-Analysis of a Half Century of Research - Stockard, Jean; Wood, Timothy W.; Coughlin, Cristy; Rasplica Khoury, Caitlin (Review of Educational Research, 2018)
Quantitative mixed models were used to examine literature published from 1966 through 2016 on the effectiveness of Direct Instruction. Analyses were based on 328 studies involving 413 study designs and almost 4,000 effects. Results are reported for the total set and subareas regarding reading, math, language, spelling, and multiple or other academic subjects; ability measures; affective outcomes; teacher and parent views; and single-subject designs. All of the estimated effects were positive and all were statistically significant except results from metaregressions involving affective outcomes. Characteristics of the publications, methodology, and sample were not systematically related to effect estimates. Effects showed little decline during maintenance, and effects for academic subjects were greater when students had more exposure to the programs. Estimated effects were educationally significant, moderate to large when using the traditional psychological benchmarks, and similar in magnitude to effect sizes that reflect performance gaps between more and less advantaged students.

The evidence ecosystem in South Africa: growing resilience and institutionalisation of evidence use - Stewart, Ruth; Dayal, Harsha; Langer, Laurenz; van Rooyen, Carina (Palgrave Communications, 2019)
The evidence-informed approach to policy-making and implementation is, at its core, about better decisions for a better future. It is focused on the effective use of scarce resources, on avoiding harm and maximising good. It is grounded in principles of equity and equality, of accountability and transparency. Given these characteristics, for those of us who work in this field, there is arguably a moral, economic, social and political case for paying closer attention to evidence-informed decision-making ecosystems in the South. Evidence-based policy and implementation, or evidence-informed decision-making in line with the most recent thinking, is often framed from two inter-related but limited perspectives: first, it is viewed as an approach that has originated from ‘developed’ Northern countries, and second, it is conceptualised as a technical intervention. However, there has been a shift in how the approach is conceived, moving away from assumptions that it is an intervention implemented from outside, from the North, for the benefit of the South. As part of this shift, certain initiatives in Africa have gained greater momentum. It is in acknowledging that there are different ways to think (epistemic diversity) about Southern evidence-informed decision-making, that this work has arisen. It seizes on the opportunity to view evidence-informed decision-making in a new light, exploring the evidence ecosystems in the South as systems strongly influenced by, but not defined by, Northern stimuli, including, but not limited to, technical interventions. This work set out to describe the evidence ecosystem in South Africa. In doing so, it finds that the ecosystem is increasingly resilient despite some limitations. It has strong structural foundations, includes many diverse organisations, is supported by not inconsiderable investment, is enabled by growing and significant capacity, contains iterations and innovations, and last but not least, incorporates complexity that gives the ecosystem resilience. The work demonstrates, through its focus on South Africa’s evidence ecosystem, that the global movement has much to learn from the South.

Cultivating a personal learning network that leads to professional change - Stewart, Benjamin L. (Northcentral University, 2015)
Teacher professional development opportunities in Mexico are currently lacking. The traditional approaches of professional development such as workshops and conferences are commonplace but do little to bridge the gap between abstract concepts about teaching and learning and the practicalities teachers face in the classroom. The purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to describe how ideas, materials, and social interactions form a PLN through online, informal pedagogical dialogues among English language educators as it relates to professional learning. The five participants of this study were selected from a total of 10 based on their willingness to complete an informed consent form, complete an initial online survey, interact with other professionals publically online, and participate in a final interview. The online survey contained demographic information about each case and included both open and closed items; a content analysis was done on public interactions that tool place online; and a final in-depth interview used open questions to inquire about how respective PLNs changed over time. All data was coded, categorized, and placed into themes based on the ideational, material, and social aspects of each PLN. The findings show that professional knowledge, skills sets, and overall dispositions emerge in unique ways based on how ideas, technologies, and personal contacts interrelate with each other over time, and that an individual’s PLN provides unanticipated benefits when sharing publicly online.

Teachers and Teacher Education Policies - Steiner-Khamsi, Gita (Education and International Development: An Introduction, 2015)
'Honorable Mention' 2016 PROSE Award - Education PracticeEducation is fundamental to every aspect of development and there is widespread support across the world for policies that affirm that all children, regardless of their circumstances, have a right to quality schooling. Yet despite concerted efforts from national governments, multilateral organisations and NGOs over many decades we are still far from achieving education for all. In addition, while education can enhance human development, it is also associated with persistent inequalities. Education and International Development provides a comprehensive introduction to the field, giving an overview of the history, influential theories, important concepts and areas of achievement, and presenting a critical reflection on emerging trends in policy, practice and research. With chapters that review key challenges and inspiring initiatives in countries around the globe - focusing on critical issues such as language, conflict and teachers - this book serves both as a companion to graduate studies in international education and a concise reference book for practitioners and educators in the field.

Interrogating Gender Divides in Technology for Education and Development: the Case of the One Laptop per Child Project in Ghana - Steeves, Leslie; Kwami, Janet (Studies in Comparative International Development, 2017)
The One Laptop per Child (OLPC) project aims to make low-cost computers accessible to the “world’s poorest children,” presuming that the gadgets will support their empowerment via education. The project’s success globally, however, has been mixed at best, with many countries terminating their purchases due to cost, inadequate infrastructure, and negative side effects. In October 2010, Ghana suspended the country’s 3-year participation. This study examines the complex history and failure of OLPC Ghana in two pilot schools, one urban and one rural, with particular attention to gender bias. The analysis draws on interviews with government personnel, students, and teachers in the pilot classes. Despite lacking electric power in the rural community, UNDP’s Millennium Villages Project played a strong support role, making OLPC somewhat more effective with less of a gender divide in the rural school than in the urban school in Accra. Both pilot schools faced severe sustainability challenges raising decade-old questions about modernity and technological determinism. Further, in both schools, particularly the urban school, a digital divide by gender was evident.

Sometimes we question whether students are incapable or capable and/or willing or unwilling in regards to their academics. This study determined where students lie in regards to these concepts and showed one example of motivating students to do their best via course design, in this particular case by the use of a writing process model.

Guided interaction as intercultural learning: designing internationalisation into a mixed delivery teacher education programme - Spiro, Jane (Higher Education Research and Development, 2011)
In this paper the process of building an international student community is explored. Strategies discussed include guided interaction within a virtual environment between home students studying in their own culture and international students studying at a distance. The context includes both the state and private sector in South East Asia, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East. The subject is a Master of Arts in Education for practising in-service teachers of English. Through exchanging teacher narratives, students identify shared concerns and values about their profession and recognise connections with their peers in apparently widely different cultural settings. Student and tutor evaluations suggest that participants developed the competence of recognising connections between their own meanings and behaviours and those of others. They also deconstructed their assumptions and unexamined beliefs through engagement with others. The paper concludes by analysing how these competences impacted on the self-knowledge and practice of the participants, and suggests the generative principles which made this learning effective.

Human-AI Collaboration to Identify Literature for Evidence Synthesis - Spillias, Scott; Tuohy, Paris; Andreotta, Matthew; Annand-Jones, Ruby; Boschetti, Fabio; Cvitanovic, Christopher; Duggan, Joe; Fulton, Elizabeth; Karcher, Denis; Paris, Cecile (2023)
Systematic approaches to evidence synthesis can improve the rigour, transparency, and replicability of a traditional literature review. However, these systematic approaches are time and resource intensive. We evaluate the ability of OpenAI’s ChatGPT to undertake two initial stages of evidence syntheses (searching peer-reviewed literature and screening for relevance) and develop a novel collaborative framework to leverage the best of both human and AI intelligence. Using a scoping review of community-based sheries management as a case study, we nd that with substantial prompting, the AI can provide critical insight into the construction and content of a search string. Thereafter, we evaluate ve strategies for synthesising AI output to screen articles based on prede ned inclusion criteria. We nd low omission rates (< 1%) of relevant literature by the AI are achievable, which is comparable to that of human screeners. These ndings show that generalised AI tools can assist reviewers with evidence synthesis to accelerate the implementation and improve the reliability of a review.

What Works in Girls' Education: Evidence for the World's Best Investment - Sperling, G. B.; Winthrop, Rebecca; Kwauk, Christina (Brookings Institution Press; JSTOR, 2016)
Hard-headed evidence on why the returns from investing in girls are so high that no nation or family can afford not to educate their girls. Gene Sperling, author of the seminal 2004 report published by the Council on Foreign Relations, and Rebecca Winthrop, director of the Center for Universal Education, have written this definitive book on the importance of girls' education. As Malala Yousafzai expresses in her foreword, the idea that any child could be denied an education due to poverty, custom, the law, or terrorist threats is just wrong and unimaginable. More than 1,000 studies have provided evidence that high-quality girls' education around the world leads to wide-ranging returns: Better outcomes in economic areas of growth and incomes Reduced rates of infant and maternal mortality Reduced rates of child marriage Reduced rates of the incidence of HIV/AIDS and malaria Increased agricultural productivity Increased resilience to natural disasters Women's empowerment What Works in Girls' Education is a compelling work for both concerned global citizens, and any academic, expert, nongovernmental organization (NGO) staff member, policymaker, or journalist seeking to dive into the evidence and policies on girls' education.

A study on NGO services for children in Mumbai, India - Sonawat, Reeta; Sikh, Shanna (Jurnal Ilmu Komunikasi, 2007)
The present research was conducted to study NGOs services for children in Mumbai through a child rights perspective. The study was exploratory in nature and aimed to assess the implementation of child rights by the NGOs. 35 NGOs working for children in the city of Mumbai comprised the sample and were studied using a questionnaire and rating scale as tools. Findings revealed that education (74 percent) and health (54 percent) were the most common concerns of the organizations. Only 17 percent of the NGOs considered child rights to be a concern. The NGOs implemented the right to participation better than any other right. The right to survival was, however, grossly neglected. It was concluded that there are several gaps and areas of lack in the services offered to children. There is also an urgent need to spread awareness amongst the NGO workers themselves to make child rights a part of organizational mandates.

The Simple, the Complicated, and the Complex: Educational Reform Through the Lens of Complexity Theory - Snyder, Sean (2013)
This paper explores the nature of complexity theory and its applications for educational reform. It briefly explains the history of complexity theory and identifies the key concepts of complex adaptive systems, and then moves on to define the differences between simple, complicated, and complex approaches to educational reform. Special attention is given to work currently underway in the fields of healthcare, emergency management and ecology that draws on complexity theory to build more resilient and robust response systems capable of adapting to changing needs and of identifying key pressure points in the system. Finally, this paper presents several examples of educational reform programmes undertaken worldwide that have implemented complexity theory principles to achieve positive results. It also recommends involving multiple stakeholders across the different levels of governance structure, increasing lateral knowledge-sharing between schools and districts, and transforming policy interventions to bring greater flexibility to the reform process. This move toward feedback-driven adaptive reform allows for better targeting of programmes to specific contexts and may prove a key way forward for educational policymakers.

Home language and education in the developing world - Smits, Jeroen; Huisman, Janine; Kruijff, Karine (2008)
In this report the relationship between the language spoken at home and educational attendance and attainment is studied for 26 developing countries from all regions of the developing world. For these 26 countries, we have constructed country profiles that show the percentages of the population belonging to the major linguistic groups and the variation in adult educational attainment and children’s educational attendance among the these groups. The profiles reveal for most of the countries substantial variation in educational attendance and attainment according to home language. This variation is present both for men and women and in urban and rural areas. To gain insight into the causes of the variation in attendance of children, two multivariate analyses are performed. The first analysis focuses on the variation within the countries. It shows that in most countries a substantial part of the variation in attendance among linguistic groups is due to variation in household wealth, parental education, gender, and urbanization of place of living of the members of the groups. In the second analysis we use multilevel models to study for 153 linguistic groups whether the variation in attendance of children is related to variation in the availability of mothertongue based multilingual education, in concentration of the groups in rural areas, and in the country’s degree of linguistic fractionalization. Educational attendance is higher when there is mother-tongue instruction in the language spoken by the group and it is lower for groups concentrated in rural areas. The positive effects of mother-tongue instruction are stronger for groups concentrated in rural areas, thus highlighting its potential for improving the situation of groups in more difficult circumstances. Group size and linguistic fractionalization of the country have no effect on attendance and the effects of mother-tongue instruction are about equally strong for girls and boys.

Consequences of school closure on access to education: lessons from the 2013–2016 Ebola pandemic - Smith, William C. (International Review of Education, 2021)
The COVID-19 pandemic has seen an unprecedented shutdown of society. Among the various safety measures taken, much attention has been given to school closure as a non-pharmaceutical mitigation tool to curb the spread of the disease through ensuring “social” (physical) distancing. Nearly 1.725 billion children in over 95% of countries worldwide have been affected by school closures implemented in April 2020 as the virus continued to spread. In the field of education, policymakers’ attention has been directed at keeping students on board through remote learning and addressing the immediate needs of schools upon reopening. The study presented in this article focuses on who remains absent after schools resume. Using publicly available survey data from the USAID Demographic Health Surveys Program and the UNICEF Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey from before and after the 2013–2016 Ebola pandemic in Guinea and Sierra Leone in West Africa, the author examined changes in school enrolment and dropout patterns, with targeted consideration given to traditionally marginalised groups. At the time, schools closed for between seven to nine months in the two countries; this length and intensity makes this Ebola pandemic the only health crisis in the recent past to come close to the pandemic-related school closures experienced in 2020. The author’s findings suggest that post-Ebola, youth in the poorest households saw the largest increase in school dropout. Exceeding expected pre-Ebola dropout rates, an additional 17,400 of the poorest secondary-age youth were out of school. This evidence is important for minimising the likely post-COVID-19 expansion in inequality. The author’s findings point to the need for sustainable planning that looks beyond the reopening of educational institutions to include comprehensive financial support packages for groups most likely to be affected.

Stills, not full motion, for interactive spatial training: American, Turkish and Taiwanese female pre-service teachers learn spatial visualization - Smith, Glenn Gordon; Gerretson, Helen; Olkun, Sinan; Yuan, Yuan; Dogbey, James; Erdem, Aliye (Computers & Education, 2009)
This study investigated how female elementary education pre-service teachers in the United States, Turkey and Taiwan learned spatial skills from structured activities involving discrete, as opposed to continuous, transformations in interactive computer programs, and how these activities transferred to non-related standardized tests of spatial visualization and mental rotation. The study used a pretest, intervention, posttest research design with experimental and comparison groups. The experimental group participated in transformational geometry visualization exercises, once a week for six weeks, for approximately 20minutes each session. Instruments were standardized measures of spatial visualization and mental rotation; intervention activity worksheets directed the participants through 2D and 3D transformational geometry tasks in computer environments. For Turkish and Taiwanese participants, the experimental group improved significantly more than the control group in spatial visualization, while the American participants showed no such significant improvement.

Reasons behind dropping out of slum children from non-formal school in Dhaka - Smita, Marzia Khatan; Rabbi, Md Fajlay; Mohammad, Shoeab (Jurnal Iqra' : Kajian Ilmu Pendidikan, 2020)
In South Asia, numerous slum children were deprived of education upon several socio-economic grounds, and many children still dropout of non-formal schools despite receiving free non-formal education. This study aims to explore the reasons for dropping out of non-formal schools and the socio-demographic situation of slum children in Dhaka City. Fifty non-formal dropout slum children were selected conveniently as participants employing a mixed research design. A semi-structured schedule of questionnaire and interview was used as instruments for collecting data. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected simultaneously to explore the slum children's dropout situation. Twelve reasons of their dropout have been reported. In addition to explaining the reasons for their dropping out, two frameworks were presented in detail. Most slum non-formal students dropped out of their schools for the pulling out factors and reasons related to household. Recommendations for reducing slum children's school dropout and persuasive strategies for future work in this field have been addressed. Keywords: Non-formal School, Dropout, Slum Children, Non-formal Education.

Short message service (SMS)–based remote support and teacher retention of training gains in Malawi - Slade, Timothy S.; Kipp, Scott; Cummings, Stirling; Nyirongo, Kondwani (Cultivating dynamic educators: case studies in teacher behavior change in Africa and Asia, 2018)
This book responds to growing recognition by international education professionals, policy makers, and funding partners of the need for qualified teachers and interest in the subject of teacher professional development (also referred to as "teacher behavior change"). The book responds to important questions that are fundamental to improving teaching quality by influencing teaching practice. These questions include: How do we provide high-quality training at scale? How do we ensure that training transfers to change in practice? What methods are most cost-effective? How do we know what works? The book includes case studies describing different approaches to teacher behavior change and illustrates how specific implementation choices were made for each context. Individual chapters document lessons learned as well as methodologies used for discerning lessons. The key conclusion is that no single effort is enough on its own; teacher behavior change requires a system-wide view and concerted, coordinated inputs from a range of stakeholders. This book contains the following chapters: (1) Understanding and Influencing Teacher Behavior Change: Editorial Introduction (Sarah Pouezevara); (2) Changing Teacher Educators' Conceptions and Practices Around Literacy Instruction: Lessons from Teacher Educators' Professional Development Experiences in Ethiopia (Dawit Mekonnen, Marion Fesmire, Adrienne Barnes, Stephen Backman, and Flavia Ramos-Mattoussi); (3) School Leadership and Early Grade Reading: Examining the Evidence in Zambia (Mitchell Rakusin and Guy Bostock); (4) Making Sense of Teacher In-Service Training in the Philippines (Nancy Clark-Chiarelli and Bonita Cabiles); (5) Short Message Service (SMS)-Based Remote Support and Teacher Retention of Training Gains in Malawi (Timothy S. Slade, Scott Kipp, Stirling Cummings, and Kondwani Nyirongo); (6) Relationships Between Coach Support and Teachers' Adoption of New Instructional Practices: Findings from the Nigeria Reading and Access Research Activity (RARA) (Karon Harden, Alison Pflepsen, and Simon King); (7) Using Activity Theory to Understand Teacher Peer Learning in Indonesia (Sarah Pouezevara, Feiny Sentosa, and Tifa Asrianti); (8) Teacher Motivation and Behavior Change: Results of the Teacher Motivation Diagnostic Tool in Northern India (Molly Hamm-RodrÃguez, Emily Richardson, and Jarret Guajardo); and (9) Once More Up the Mountain: The Promise of High-Quality Teaching Depends on Behavior Change (Lee E.

Valuation of incentives to recruit and retain teachers in rural schools: Evidence from a choice experiment in Cambodia and Laos - Sisouphanthong, Viriyasack; Suruga, Terukazu; Kyophilavong, Phouphet (Cogent Education, 2020)
To provide an appropriate incentive for teaching profession, the important questions are “how much should we pay?” and “which factors influence potential teachers’ decision the most?” This research evaluates the factors that discourage and encourage potential teachers to join the profession in Cambodia and Laos by applying a discrete choice experiment to analysis teacher trainees’ preferences for school location, classroom condition, non-teaching professions, and indirect monetary incentives. The result highlights reasons and a possibility of potential teachers to leave the educational system.

Digital game-based education for Syrian refugee children: Project Hope - Sirin, Selcuk; Plass, Jan L; Homer, Bruce D; Vatanartiran, Sinem; Tsai, Tzuchi (Vulnerable Children and Youth Studies, 2018)
Turkey is the top refugee-hosting country in the world, with more than three million registered Syrian refugees. An international research team was the first to document the educational and mental health needs of Syrian refugee children, finding that an overwhelming majority are not enrolled in school in Turkey, partly as a result of language barriers, and that about half suffer from Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and/or depression. The present study was designed as an innovative intervention using an online, game-based learning intervention for refugee children, named Project Hope. Data gathered from a controlled field experiment show significant improvements in Turkish language acquisition, coding, executive functioning and overall sense of hopefulness. Implications for policy, practice and research are discussed.

Effect of COVID-19 on the performance of grade 12 students: Implications for STEM education - Sintema, Edgar John (Eurasia Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020)
With all learning institutions pre-maturely closed on 20 March 2020 and all citizens advised to self-isolate in a bid to control the spread of COVID-19, it was hypothesized that COVID-19 would negatively impact on the performance of students in the 2020 Grade 12 national examinations vis-a-vis mathematics, science and design and technology subjects. An observed steady increase in the number of COVID-19 confirmed cases and the low levels of technology use in secondary schools in Zambia due to limited technology resources signifies a very difficult period in a young country which has just rolled out a nation-wide implementation of STEM education, This study collected data from three teachers at a public secondary school in Chipata District of Eastern Province in the Republic of Zambia. The Head of Department for Mathematics, the Head of Natural Sciences Department and one science teacher were interviewed. Semi-structured interviews via mobile phone were used to collect views of what these specialists thought would be the COVID-19 effects on the general performance of students in their subject areas. Results of this study revealed that there is likely to be a drop in the pass percentage of secondary school students in this year's national examinations if the COVID-19 epidemic is not contained in the shortest possible time considering that the school academic calendar was abruptly disturbed by the early untimely closure of all schools in the country.

Factors affecting cloud computing adoption in the Indian school education system - Singh, Jewan; Mansotra, Vibhakar (Education and Information Technologies, 2019)
Cloud computing is becoming a leading trend worldwide, due to its enhanced reliability, scalability, flexibility, availability and processing throughput. However, the decision related to adoption of the cloud computing model is often complicated by challenges and uncertainties about the expected business value and its overall impact on the organisation. Till date, different contemporary technology acceptance theories and models have been used to test and validate adoption chances of cloud computing at organisational and individual levels. However, no experimental study has been conducted to provide a holistic evaluation of the determinants of cloud computing in the Asian world particularly in the context of the Indian school education system. Due to lack of such studies, we propose a theoretical model based on the TOE framework to explain the role of technological, organisational and environmental factors on the adoption of cloud computing in the Indian school education system. The data was collected from fifty-six 56 randomly selected secondary schools through questionnaire based survey to examine the relationship between the variables employing 5-points Likert scale. Reliability and validity measures were used to establish the quality and the usefulness of the collected data. In addition multi co-linearity test was also conducted. In order to test the research hypothesis, multiple regression analysis was conducted. The results indicate that relative advantage, compatibility, and complexity representing technological factors; top management support representing organisational factors; and competitive pressure, external expertise and attitude towards change representing environmental factors were found to have an positive and significant influence on the adoption of cloud computing services in the Indian school education system. The findings have a great significance since they can provide knowledge about cloud computing factors as well as insights and directions to the education policy planners and decision makers for successful adoption of cloud computing technology in India.

Student data protection in a South African ODL university context: risks, challenges and lessons from comparative jurisdictions - Singh, Divya; Ramutsheli, Mashamaite Peterlia (Distance Education, 2016)
Personal information is among the most significant assets for businesses today, and clear transactional rules are becoming increasingly important. Organizations, including universities, are charged with more responsibility than ever to protect the personal information used during the course of their business, specifically student data. The paper provides a broad contextual overview of the effects of data protection rules and presents a succinct, easy to digest introduction to the complex, often technical arena of student data management for universities. It highlights specific legal and ethical considerations on which universities, and particularly open distance learning institutions, will need to focus in order to ensure legislative and ethical compliance. Given the absence of precedent in South Africa, a comparative policy and practice review was applied to analyze available international legislation governing data privacy and protection to establish some of the trends, risks, and best practices.

Applied Longitudinal Data Analysis: Modeling Change and Event Occurrence - Singer, Judith D.; Willett, John B. (Oxford University Press, USA, 2003)
Change is constant in everyday life. Infants crawl and then walk, children learn to read and write, teenagers mature in myriad ways, the elderly become frail and forgetful. Beyond these natural processes and events, external forces and interventions instigate and disrupt change: test scores may rise after a coaching course, drug abusers may remain abstinent after residential treatment. By charting changes over time and investigating whether and when events occur, researchers reveal the temporal rhythms of our lives. Applied Longitudinal Data Analysis is a much-needed professional book for empirical researchers and graduate students in the behavioral, social, and biomedical sciences. It offers the first accessible in-depth presentation of two of today's most popular statistical methods: multilevel models for individual change and hazard/survival models for event occurrence (in both discrete- and continuous-time). Using clear, concise prose and real data sets from published studies, the authors take you step by step through complete analyses, from simple exploratory displays that reveal underlying patterns through sophisticated specifications of complex statistical models.Applied Longitudinal Data Analysis offers readers a private consultation session with internationally recognized experts and represents a unique contribution to the literature on quantitative empirical methods.Visit http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/examples/alda.htm for:DT Downloadable data setsDT Library of computer programs in SAS, SPSS, Stata, HLM, MLwiN, and moreDT Additional material for data analysis

Using a telephone survey, 99 parents/carers were interviewed about the impact of school closure on them and their child with disabilities. Parents reported as being overwhelmingly dissatisfied with the educational experiences of their child with disabilities, with a significant number reporting that they had no contact with the school or the teachers during closures. Children with disabilities were reported as spending very little time on formal learning activities. Nonetheless, parents were confident that their child with disabilities would return to school once these re-opened, as parents noted the loss of structure for their child’s day and increased loneliness arising from lack of contact with their friends. As schools reopen, the mental health of children with disabilities, alongside their learning, will need to be a priority. Finally, parents highlighted the need for more active involvement in their child’s schooling, so that they are able to support them better when they are at home.

Education and Disability in the Global South: New Perspectives from Africa and Asia - Singal, Nidhi; Lynch, Paul; Johansson, Shruti Taneja (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2018)
Education and Disability in the Global South brings together new and established researchers from a variety of disciplines to explore the complexities and dilemmas encountered in providing education to children and young people with disabilities in countries in South Asia and Africa. Applying a range of methodological, theoretical and conceptual frameworks across different levels of education systems, from pre-school to higher education, the contributors examine not just the barriers but also the opportunities within the educational systems, in order to make strong policy recommendations. Together, the chapters offer a comprehensive overview of a range of issues, including a nuanced appreciation of the tensions between the local and global in relation to key developments in the field, critiquing a globalized notion of inclusive education, as well as proposing new methodological advancements in taking the research agenda forward. Empirical insights are captured not just from the perspectives of educators but also through engaging with children and young people with disabilities, who are uniquely powerful in providing insights for future developments.

Characteristics of effective teacher professional development: what we know, what we don’t, how we can find out - Sims, Sam; Fletcher-Wood, Harry (2018)
Several influential reviews and one meta-review have converged on the position that teacher professional development (PD) is more effective when it is: sustained, collaborative, subject-specific, draws on external expertise, has buy-in from teachers and is practice-based. This consensus view has now been incorporated in government policy and official guidance in several countries. Despite this, several recent PD programmes incorporating these characteristics have failed to have any detectable impact on pupil attainment. This article reviews the evidence underpinning the consensus, arguing that the reviews on which it based are methodologically flawed because they employ inappropriate exclusion criteria and depend on an invalid inference method. The consensus view is therefore likely to be inaccurate. Researchers would make more progress on identifying characteristics of effective professional development by looking for alignment between evidence from basic research on human skill acquisition and features of rigorously-evaluated PD interventions.
