We draw on bibliometric analysis of 1,858 peer-reviewed articles over the period 2010‒18, together with interviews with 31 academics based in the region. Overall, we find a steady increase in OA publishing in the region over this period, although the proportion of OA publications remains low. The study finds that: (1) open access articles by researchers in sub-Saharan Africa are concentrated in journals with a lower impact factor; and (2) authors in sub-Saharan Africa tend to publish in higher quality journals behind a paywall, rather than in lower quality journals that either have no or lower cost for open access.}, language = {en}, number = {0}, urldate = {2021-02-10}, journal = {Development and Change}, author = {Asare, Samuel and Mitchell, Rafael and Rose, Pauline}, year = {2021}, note = {\_eprint: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/dech.12639 KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 10.1111/dech.12639 2339240:AK4DTNUU 2405685:M7Q436YL}, } @techreport{adam_taskeen_unlocking_2020, title = {Unlocking {Data} to {Tell} the {Story} of {Education} in {Africa}: {Webinar} {Summary} \& {Synthesis}}, copyright = {Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International, Open Access}, shorttitle = {Unlocking {Data} to {Tell} the {Story} of {Education} in {Africa}}, url = {https://zenodo.org/record/4279156}, abstract = {[No description available.]}, language = {en}, urldate = {2022-06-02}, institution = {Zenodo}, author = {Adam, Taskeen and Agyapong, Samuel and Asare, Samuel and Heady, Lucy and Wacharia, Wairimu and Mjomba, Renaldah and Mugo, John and Mukiria, Faith and Munday, Gemma}, month = jan, year = {2020}, doi = {10.5281/ZENODO.4279156}, note = {KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 10.5281/ZENODO.4279156 2405685:IX9GRQQ3 2486141:QVCFTMBD}, } @techreport{adam_unlocking_2020, title = {Unlocking data to tell the story of education in {Africa}: webinar summary \& synthesis}, shorttitle = {Unlocking data to tell the story of education in africa}, url = {https://zenodo.org/record/4279156}, abstract = {[No description available.]}, language = {en}, urldate = {2022-05-10}, institution = {Zenodo}, author = {Adam, Taskeen and Agyapong, Samuel and Asare, Samuel and Heady, Lucy and Wairimu, Wacharia and Mjomba, Renaldah and Mugo, John and Mukiria, Faith and Munday, Gemma}, month = jan, year = {2020}, note = {KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 2339240:59XYS4NB 2405685:2W6A2G3H}, keywords = {\_DOILIVE, \_EdTechHub\_Output, \_GS:not\_indexed, \_MELA\_seen, \_cover:v1, \_zenodo:submitted, \_zenodoETH, dode\_eth-src-eth, dode\_eth-trf2-dode}, } @techreport{adam_unlocking_2020, title = {Unlocking data to tell the story of education in {Africa}: webinar summary \& synthesis}, copyright = {Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International, Open Access}, shorttitle = {Unlocking data to tell the story of education in africa}, url = {https://zenodo.org/record/4279156}, abstract = {[No description available.]}, language = {en}, urldate = {2022-05-10}, institution = {Zenodo}, author = {Adam, Taskeen and Agyapong, Samuel and Asare, Samuel and Heady, Lucy and Wairimu, Wacharia and Mjomba, Renaldah and Mugo, John and Mukiria, Faith and Munday, Gemma}, month = jan, year = {2020}, doi = {10.5281/ZENODO.4279156}, note = {KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 10.5281/ZENODO.4279156 10.5281/zenodo.4279156 2129771:XYEJSVYW 2339240:EETQSD8S 2339240:HZTGKNN9 2405685:6KDDB8UA 2405685:MS5GH9KJ 2405685:S9MFQ8KB}, keywords = {\_DOILIVE, \_EdTechHub\_Output, \_GS:not\_indexed, \_MELA\_seen, \_cover:v1, \_zenodo:submitted, \_zenodoETH, dode\_eth-src-eth, dode\_eth-trf2-dode}, } @article{asare_improving_2020, title = {Improving the {Mouse} {Skills} of {Basic} {School} {Learners} {Using} the {Optical} {Mouse} and {Self} {Instructional} {Software}. {A} {Case} of a {Ghanaian} {Basic} {School}}, volume = {4}, url = {https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Samuel-Asare-12/publication/341877832_Improving_the_Mouse_Skills_of_Basic_School_Learners_Using_the_Optical_Mouse_and_Self_Instructional_Software_A_Case_of_a_Ghanaian_Basic_School/links/5ed7984f45851529452a7c6e/Improving-the-Mouse-Skills-of-Basic-School-Learners-Using-the-Optical-Mouse-and-Self-Instructional-Software-A-Case-of-a-Ghanaian-Basic-School.pdf}, abstract = {The study came about as a result of poor performance showed by Bosofour R{\textbackslash}C primary 6 learners' during practical sessions. The general objective of the study is to examine the causes of learner's poor mouse skills and provide an immediate solution to it. The research was conducted at Bosofour R{\textbackslash}C primary school from the month of December, 2019 to June, 2020. The study was critically analyzed, though ICT is a core subject offered by all learners' in the school, but due to time constraint, nature of the research and inadequate financial support, all the classes could not be covered but few were sampled to represent the whole school. The study adopted a random sampling technique for its appropriateness in reaching out to a large representative sample and generalization of the findings. The target population included five hundred and twenty (520) learners, comprising of two hundred and forty-eight (248) boys and two hundred and seventy-two (272) girls. Random sampling techniques was used to select twenty (20) learners'. Test, interview and observation were the main instruments used for data collection. The main design for the study was action research. The collected data was analyzed with the help of frequency distribution table, using pre-test and post-test as a method of obtaining data. The challenges of the study include; insufficient time for practical activity lessons, abstract methods of teaching, inadequate teaching{\textbackslash} learning resources and teachers' pedagogical knowledge about the course. The results of the study showed that learners' mouse skills may be improved by the use of optical mouse, self-instructional software and giving students enough time during practical sessions. It is therefore recommended that, Ghana Education Service should equip all Basic schools across the country with several types of educational software's, in addition in-service training on ICT should be provided for all teachers, and finally, much time should be allotted for ICT practical activity lessons.}, number = {5}, journal = {Innovation The European Journal of Social Science Research}, author = {Asare, Samuel and Leticia, Agyemang}, year = {2020}, note = {KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 2339240:4TTCYUBI 2405685:WYPK6H3X}, keywords = {⛔ No DOI found}, pages = {2454--6186}, } @article{asare_how_2020, title = {How equitable are {South}-{North} partnerships in education research? {Evidence} from sub-{Saharan} {Africa}}, volume = {0}, issn = {0305-7925}, shorttitle = {How equitable are {South}-{North} partnerships in education research?}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1080/03057925.2020.1811638}, doi = {10.1080/03057925.2020.1811638}, abstract = {This article explores equity with respect to South-North partnerships in the context of education research involving scholars based in sub-Saharan Africa.

Complemented by interviews with 31 researchers based in the region, it further identifies examples of asymmetrical relationships alongside more positive partnerships and practices.
