Beyond the Basics: Improving Post-Primary Content Delivery through Classroom Technology - Beg, Sabrin; Lucas, Adrienne M; Halim, Waqas; Saif, Umer (2019)
Using an RCT in middle schools in Pakistan, we test the eﬀect of a governmentimplemented in-class technology and brief teacher training intervention on student achievement in grade level mathematics and science. After only 4 months of exposure, student achievement increased by 0.2-0.3 standard deviations on math and science tests, 52 to 120 percent more than the control group, and students were more likely to pass the provincially standardized high stakes exams. Increased eﬀorts by both students and teachers indicate a complementarity between technology and other inputs in education production. At a scale of 100 schools, this program is extremely cost-eﬀective.

How behavioral science can empower parents to improve children's educational outcomes - Bergman, Peter (Behavioral Science & Policy, 2019)
Parents powerfully influence their children’s educational outcomes. Yet psychological and informational barriers impede parents’ ability to engage with their children in ways that improve outcomes: parents tend to have inflated perceptions of their children’s performance, which can deter them from taking helpful steps to effectively support their learning, and parenting is complex. Limited cognitive bandwidth for coping with complexities can steer parents’ attention away from actions that have long-term benefits for their children and toward actions yielding immediate returns. Poor school-to-parent communication and poverty exacerbate all of these problems. In this article, the author demonstrates how providing timely, actionable information to parents can lower these barriers and help parents engage with their children more productively from kindergarten through high school. Moreover, providing this information can improve educational outcomes at low cost.

Causes of Girls Drop out from Primary Schools in Tehsil Bahrain District Swat, KPK Pakistan - Bibi, Aqsa; Ahmad, Waqar (Asian Journal of Contemporary Education, 2019)
Getting education is very important for both boys and girls. However, there are female children who do not complete school cycle and leave school before its completion which is one of the concerning issues for the Ministry of Education in Pakistan. To know why these girls drop out of school, the study provides some brief information on it. To get information on the above issue, structured interviews were used. The study was conducted in 4 Girls primary schools of Tehsil Bahrain district SWAT. Data was collected from sample of 80 respondents, in which (11 dropout girls from Govt Girls Primary School Madyan Swat, 16 from Govt Girls Primary School Ayeen Swat, 22 dropout girls from Girls Primary School Darolai Swat, 3 dropout girls from Girls Primary School Jail Bahrain Swat. 20 mothers of the dropout students and 8 teachers. After collecting information, some of the main causes for the dropout were found as work to earn some money for support of family (poverty), moving from one place to another, culture of the village, punishment, teachers' behavior, long distance from house to school and lack of text books and facilities. By looking to the findings of the study, there is a need of other researches in the area.

Theorising Effective Uses of Digital Technology with Activity Theory - Blayone, Todd J. B. (Technology, Pedagogy and Education, 2019)
Effective uses of digital technologies are vital to full inclusion in a network society. Digital-abilities researchers have produced several major frameworks, but these have generally not incorporated socio-contextual perspectives. To explore this lacuna, and engage in a reflective act of theorisation, activity theory is used to conceptualise four sub-systems of digitally mediated action. Eschewing technological determinism, humans are positioned as active agents capable of identifying, taking up, modifying and even subverting established technology uses in pursuit of meaningful objectives. At the same time, attention is given to contextual conditions shaping diverse activity systems supported by assemblages of humans and machines. Having theorised effective digital-technology uses through the lens of activity theory, the author reflects on this conceptual apparatus itself. In so doing, activity theory is characterised as a fertile, if complex and contested, future-oriented tradition that challenges individual-social dichotomies and addresses both humans and machines as mediators of activity, development and learning.

From Distance Education to Open and Distance Learning: A Holistic Evaluation of History, Definitions, and Theories - Bozkurt, Aras; Bozkurt, Aras (Handbook of Research on Learning in the Age of Transhumanism, 2019)
As pragmatist, interdisciplinary fields, distance education (DE) and open and distance learning (ODL) transform and adapt themselves according to changing paradigms. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to examine DE and ODL from different perspectives to discern their future directions. The study concludes that DE and ODL are constantly developing interdisciplinary fields where technology has become a significant catalyst and these fields become part of the mainstream education. However, mainstreaming should be evaluated with caution, and there is a need to revisit core values and fundamentals where critical pedagogy would have a pivotal role. Besides, there is no single theory that best explains these interdisciplinary fields, and therefore, there is a need to benefit from different theoretical approaches. Finally, as a result of constant changes, we should keep the definition of both DE and ODL up-to-date to better explain the needs of the global teaching and learning ecosystem.

Academic staff perspectives on technology for assessment (TfA) in higher education: A systematic literature review - Brady, Mairead; Devitt, Ann; Kiersey, Rachel A. (British Journal of Educational Technology, 2019)
This paper presents a systematic literature review of academic staff experiences and perceptions of adopting Technology for Assessment OF/FOR/AS Learning in Higher Education. This paper is a qualitative synthesis of 65 peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2012 and 2017 reporting on the use of technology for assessment (TfA). The results suggest that there are some efficiencies for staff in implementing TfA but this can come with a cost at the set-up and maintenance phases. Furthermore, results indicated that assessment design is not of foremost concern to academic staff when introducing TfA, but that a wide variety of pressures and both educational and operational drivers are present. There were inconclusive findings in relation to understandings of appropriate institutional environments and supports for TfA to flourish in higher education. There is a need for empirical research, particularly longitudinal investigations, of academic experiences of implementations of TfA to investigate sustainability of adoption. The imperative of exploring the academic staff perspective as the instigator and manager of both the technology and the student learning experience requires deep consideration as TfA adoption progresses.

Factors That Influence Teachers' Pedagogical Use of ICT in Secondary Schools: A Case of Ghana - Buabeng-Andoh, Charles (Contemporary Educational Technology, 2019)
Technology is perceived as a vital driving force for contemporary education. The Government of Ghana acknowledges the relevance of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education, and it is financing ICT in secondary schools. However, most instructors are unwilling to integrate ICT into their teaching. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that influence secondary school teachers' ICT usage in schools. The participants were 376 teachers randomly selected from 24 public and private schools. The data collected from the participants were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and analysis of variance. The results showed that teachers' use of ICT was still confined to basic and traditional activities such as search for information, class presentation etc. Internal and external factors were found to influence teachers' ICT usage. Also, female teachers reported that they use ICT more than male teachers. In general, this study has contributed to the literature regarding teachers' pedagogical use of ICT in secondary schools and also their gender differences in the use of ICT.

Educating 21st Century Children: Emotional Well-Being in the Digital Age - Burns, Tracey; Gottschalk, Francesca (OECD Publishing, 2019)
What is the nature of childhood today? On a number of measures, modern children’s lives have clearly improved thanks to better public safety and support for their physical and mental health. New technologies help children to learn, socialise and unwind, and older, better-educated parents are increasingly playing an active role in their children's education. At the same time, we are more connected than ever before, and many children have access to tablets and smartphones before they learn to walk and talk. Twenty-first century children are more likely to be only children, increasingly pushed to do more by “helicopter parents” who hover over their children to protect them from potential harm. In addition to limitless online opportunities, the omnipresent nature of the digital world brings new risks, like cyber-bullying, that follow children from the schoolyard into their homes. This report examines modern childhood, looking specifically at the intersection between emotional well-being and new technologies. It explores how parenting and friendships have changed in the digital age. It examines children as digital citizens, and how best to take advantage of online opportunities while minimising the risks. The volume ends with a look at how to foster digital literacy and resilience, highlighting the role of partnerships, policy and protection.

Broadening borders to build better schools: virtual professional learning communities - Carpenter, Daniel; Munshower, Paul (The International Journal of Educational Management, 2019)
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore how rural teachers provided a PLC by leveraging virtual technologies to connect educators of like subject disciplines from several schools, foreign and domestic.Design/methodology/approachA phenomenological case study-based approach was leveraged to investigate established vPLCs at schools (Creswell, 2013; Stake, 2010). Qualitative data were collected from multiple sources to obtain rural teacher perceptions on the impact vPLCs had on their practice (Creswell, 2013).FindingsTeacher collaborative teams build relationships comparable to teams that met face to face as part of a similar PLC and PD experience. Participant reflections in this investigation showed that rural educators favored face-to-face meetings; however, vPLCs provided similar teacher experiences to that of the face-to-face PBL model. Results indicated that educators recognized virtual collaboration just as valuable a tool for enabling PLCs than face-to-face collaborations while still offering similarities to improved teacher practice.Research limitations/implicationsThe research was limited to teachers in rural settings in the USA (Texas) and in the Dominican Republic. The research was limited to teacher perceptions of change, and observed changes as part of their participation in a research-based virtual PLC model. The research was limited to the school setting over an academic year.Practical implicationsThe findings from this study have practical implications for rural teachers and school implementation of a professional learning community model.Originality/valueThe promise provided by this study is that vPLCs may provide opportunity for rural schools to provide a job-embedded professional development model (Croft et al., 2010) for otherwise isolated teachers (Barrett et al., 2015).

Payment by results in international development: Evidence from the first decade - Clist, Paul (Development Policy Review, 2019)
Donors would be sensible to limit themselves to either ‘small PbR’ (where the costs of PbR are minimised) or genuine ‘big PbR’ (where projects seek to maximise PBR’s benefits). The current evidence shows that projects outside these two categories are worse than traditional forms of aid. Evidence for ‘small PbR’ is mixed, while there is no evidence for ‘big PbR’ as it has yet to be tried.

Transforming Teacher Education and Learning in Ghana: The Impact of a Continuous Professional Development on Physics Teaching at the Colleges of Education - Coffie, Isaac Sonful (International journal of Research and Scientific Innovation, 2019)
The colleges of education in Ghana have been involved in a continuous professional development for over four years with support of Transforming Teacher Education and Learning (T-TEL). The main purpose of this research was to assess the perceived impact of the continuous professional programme on physics teaching at the colleges of education. Descriptive cross sectional survey was used for the study. An online survey was conducted which was completed by 85 physics tutors. The survey data were analysed using means and standard deviations and ANOVA. It was found that the professional development is perceived by the physics tutors to have great impact on their teaching practice. It was also found out that there was no statistical significant difference in the perceived impact of the professional development based on tutors’ experience. It was concluded that if the student teachers who are being trained by these tutors will learn these ideas from their tutors and practice them, teaching at the basic schools will be more interactive, students-centered and gender responsive.

Innovative Delivery of Education in Bangladesh Using Mobile Technology - Cristol, Dean; Abdulbaki, Anwar; Tuhin, Salah Uddin; Al-Sabbagh, Samah; Majareh, Maryam; Gimbert, Belinda (2019)
Given the increasing use and accessibility of mobile technology, a pilot study, “Innovative Delivery of Education in Bangladesh Using Mobile Technology” was carried out using mobile learning devices to both increase and enrich the delivery of educational services in a remote Bangladesh district. The APTUS system was used to allow learners’ connection to digital learning platforms and content without electricity or internet access. The researchers maintained that mobile learning associated with Project Based Learning can effect student learning in five ways: (1) contingent learning, changing experience students have by responding to the environment; (2) situated learning, in which learning occurs in the conditions applicable to the learning; (3) authentic learning connected to immediate learning goals; (4) context-aware learning, in which the environment and history affect learning; and (5) personalized learning. The results from this pilot research study provides evidence of the students achievement growth overtime and motivated to learn higher-order thinking technology enhanced skills when practical applications are supplemented with technology tools such as tablets. Students reported a heightened interest in science as a result of the project. Teachers maintained that their teaching skills were enhanced by the project and able to apply practical applications to teach science rather than lecturing and rote learning. Parents attributed the project for their children being more motivated to learn science inside and outside of the classroom. The study appears to have a positive impact on the three groups of the participants and should be scaled up to benefit more learning communities, especially in remote areas of Bangladesh.

Mobile learning and student cognition: A systematic review of PK-12 research using Bloom’s Taxonomy - Crompton, Helen; Burke, Diane; Lin, Yi-Ching (British Journal of Educational Technology, 2019)
The rise of mobile learning in schools during the past decade has led to promises about the power of mobile learning to extend and enhance student cognitive engagement. The purpose of this study was to examine trends to determine the cognitive level students are involved in within mobile learning activities. This systematic review involved an aggregated and configurative synthesis of PK-12 mobile learning studies from 2010 to 16 and used Bloom’s Taxonomy as a theoretical framework for categorizing the cognitive level of student activities. Major new findings include that students are involved in activities at all six levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy. This study shows that over 60% of researchers are developing activities that require high levels of cognitive processing, a large increase from past studies. Nonetheless, 40% are integrating mobile devices in ways that keep students working with minimal cognitive processing. In both elementary and secondary studies, there was a 40/60% split in the use of lower versus high level thinking opportunities. New findings show that mobile devices were integrated into science, mathematics, social studies, literacy, art and special education. Studies in science settings were the majority of the studies (40%), followed by literacy (24%).

No lost generation: Supporting the school participation of displaced Syrian children in Lebanon - de Hoop, Jacobus; Morey, Mitchell; Seidenfeld, David (Journal of Development Studies, 2019)
This study documents the impact of a cash transfer programme–known as the No Lost Generation Programme (NLG) and locally as Min Ila (‘from to’)–on the school participation of displaced Syrian children in Lebanon. An initiative of the government of Lebanon, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and the World Food Programme (WFP), the programme provided cash for the benefit of children enrolled in afternoon shifts at public primary schools. It was designed to cover the cost of commuting to school and to compensate households for income forgone because children were attending school instead of working. Commuting costs and forgone income are two critical barriers to child school participation. The analysis relies on a geographical regression discontinuity design to identify the impact halfway through the first year of programme operation, the 2016/2017 school year. The analysis finds substantive impacts on school attendance among enrolled children, which increased by 0.5 days to 0.7 days per week, an improvement of about 20 per cent relative to the control group. School enrolment among Syrian children rose rapidly across all Lebanon’s governorates during the period of the evaluation, resulting in supply-side capacity constraints that appear to have dampened positive enrolment impacts.

Understanding the Allocation of Public Personnel Across Government Health Facilities in Ghana - Diop, Binta Zahra; Awoonor-Williams, Koku; Ofosu, Anthony; Williams, Martin J (2019)
In order to deliver public services, governments must allocate scarce human and ﬁnancial resources across their territories, yet there is little systematic evidence on the productivity of these inputs or allocative eﬃciency with which governments allocate them. We study this by leveraging a unique panel dataset of service delivery, health outcomes, and human and ﬁnancial inputs in the universe of over 5,000 public health facilities in Ghana. Our research design allows us to estimate the marginal returns to health personnel and inputs, while controlling for unobserved heterogeneity across facilities. We document the roles and current distribution of the diﬀerent types of health workers and facilities within the health system, and investigate the relationship between patient volume and the number of health workers in a facility. We discuss implications for optimal staﬃng allocations and further research.

Use of ICT by Biology Teachers in the Secondary Schools: Bangladesh Perspective - Farhana, Z; Chowdhury, S (Journal of Culture, Society and Development, 2019)
Information and communication technologies (ICT) have changed the pedagogy in education offering more student-centered learning incidents. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of ICT by the biology teachers in teaching-learning process of secondary schools in Bangladesh. A total of 50 biology teachers from several secondary schools of Bangladesh participated in the study. It was found that teachers have better access to computer than the average populace of Bangladesh. They have working knowledge on Microsoft Office Word, Excel, Power Point, and different web browsers. A good number of the teachers use computer for preparing their lectures, use internet for accessing educational materials, takes classes with multimedia with the support of ICT. However, about 17% to 25% were found to be not using these ICT means. Many teachers opined that they have less number of computers in the school to prepare for class work. They also assessed that hardware troubleshooting, software malfunction and unexpected power failure as challenges for using ICT. This paper recommends to provide continuous in-servicing training on ICT, interest free loan to teachers for purchasing laptop computer and to ensure technical support to overcome software and hardware problems in the schools.

A cognitive assessment tool designed for data collection in the field in low-and middle-income countries - Ford, Cassie B.; Kim, Ha Yeon; Brown, Lindsay; Aber, J. Lawrence; Sheridan, Margaret A. (Research in Comparative and International Education, 2019)
The Rapid Assessment of Cognitive and Emotional Regulation (RACER) is a tablet-based assessment tool for children that measures executive function (EF) skills. Instructions that are brief and visually presented; game-like tasks are designed to easily engage children regardless of literacy level and variable test administration settings. RACER measures inhibitory control and working memory. This study presents the theoretical rationale and empirical evidence for tablet-based assessments of EF, the process of administering the RACER assessments. The current sample consists of students in Lebanon (N=1900) and Niger (N=850). The results indicate that individual differences in EF can be assessed by the RACER tablet tasks. Specifically, we demonstrate that EF scores are associated in expected ways with age and that tasks function similarly to what has been observed in high-income countries. The feasibility and utility for researchers, practitioners, and clinicians, of this cognitive assessment tool is discussed.

Gender differences in computer and information literacy: An in-depth analysis of data from ICILS - Gebhardt, Eveline; Thomson, Sue; Ainley, John; Hillman, Kylie (Springer Nature, 2019)
This open access book presents a systematic investigation into internationally comparable data gathered in ICILS 2013. It identifies differences in female and male students’ use of, perceptions about, and proficiency in using computer technologies. Teachers’ use of computers, and their perceptions regarding the benefits of computer use in education, are also analyzed by gender. When computer technology was first introduced in schools, there was a prevailing belief that information and communication technologies were ‘boys’ toys’; boys were assumed to have more positive attitudes toward using computer technologies. As computer technologies have become more established throughout societies, gender gaps in students’ computer and information literacy appear to be closing, although studies into gender differences remain sparse. The IEA’s International Computer and Information Literacy Study (ICILS) is designed to discover how well students are prepared for study, work, and life in the digital age. Despite popular beliefs, a critical finding of ICILS 2013 was that internationally girls tended to score more highly than boys, so why are girls still not entering technology-based careers to the same extent as boys? Readers will learn how male and female students differ in their computer literacy (both general and specialized) and use of computer technology, and how the perceptions held about those technologies vary by gender.

Complexity leadership theory:: a framework for leading in Australian early childhood education settings - Gibbs, Leanne; Press, Frances; Wong, Sandie (Leadership in Early Education in Times of Change, 2019)
This conceptual and theoretical chapter focuses upon the challenges and opportunities of leading in Australian early childhood education (ECE). Leading and leadership in ECE is enacted within a complex landscape comprising complicated legislation, a volatile workforce, comprehensive standards of practice and a diversity of children and families. In that context, the chapter highlights the perceptions that reinforce the challenges of leading in ECE and goes on to discuss an alternative theoretical framework; -complexity leadership theory and complex adaptive systems theory. This framework is proposed as a way of thinking about the emergence of leadership in an environment where educators can

Effect of re-entry policy implementation on readmitted girls’ academic performance in mathematics in selected secondary schools of Mufulira District in Zambia - Gladys, Nsalamba; Alex, Simpande (International Journal of Data Science and Analysis, 2019)
Zambia is one of the countries in the Sub-Sahara Africa that has an established Re-Entry Policy. The policy was declared in 1997 and allows pregnant school girls to go to school. The aim is to create academically healthy learning institutions in which both girls and boys are free. As per findings of this research, the Re-Entry Policy has helped reduce gender discrepancies in terms of equity in education. Sad though, the paper has reviewed that most reentered girls fail mathematics, a thing that disadvantages them because mathematics is used as criteria of purity for admission into university and well-paid jobs. As such, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Re-Entry Policy implementation on readmitted girl’s performance in mathematics. In order to achieve this aim, a qualitative research approach guided by some research questions and objectives was undertaken. Data relating to the research was collected through interview guides and questionnaires, and analyzed using narrative techniques. Furthermore, purposive sampling technique was used because the study targeted a specific group of people and characteristics. The conclusion made through the findings of this paper were that the perceived poor performance in mathematics by reentered girls is a ‘socio construct’ and not solely due to the Re-Entry Policy. This implies that the implementation of the policy is what is key; hence, the variations in performance for reentered girls in individual schools.

Technology acceptance model in educational context: A systematic literature review - Granić, Andrina; Marangunić, Nikola (British Journal of Educational Technology, 2019)
A respectable amount of work dealing with Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) clearly indicates a popularity of TAM in the field of technology acceptance in general. Nevertheless, there is still a gap in existing knowledge regarding representative academic literature that underlie research on TAM in educational context. The main objective of this systematic literature review is to provide an overview of the current state of research efforts on TAM application in the field of learning and teaching for a variety of learning domains, learning technologies and types of users. Through systematic search by the use of EBSCO Discovery Service, the review has identified 71 relevant studies ranged between 2003 and 2018. The main findings indicate that TAM and its many different versions represent a credible model for facilitating assessment of diverse learning technologies. TAM's core variables, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, have been proven to be antecedent factors affecting acceptance of learning with technology. The paper identifies some gaps in current work and suggests areas for further investigation. The results of this systematic review provide a better understanding of TAM acceptance studies in educational context and create a firm foundation for advancing knowledge in the field. Practitioner Notes What is already known about this topic Technology acceptance research in teaching and learning context has become an attractive trend. A number of reviews and meta-analysis focused on specific topics related to technology acceptance in education have been conducted. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is the key model in understanding predictors of human behaviour towards potential acceptance or rejection of the technology. What this paper adds The state of current research on Technology Acceptance Model application in educational context lacks comprehensive reviews addressing variety of learning domains, learning technologies and types of users. The paper presents systematic review of relevant academic literature on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in the field of learning and teaching. The paper provides empirical evidence on the predictive validity of the models based on TAM presented in selected literature. The findings revealed that TAM, along with its many different versions called TAM++, is a leading scientific paradigm and credible model for facilitating assessment of diverse technological deployments in educational context. TAM's core variables, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, have been proven to be antecedent factors that have affected acceptance of learning with technology. Implications for practice and/or policy The systematic review adds to the body of knowledge and creates a firm foundation for advancing knowledge in the field. By following the most common research objectives and/or by filling current gaps in applied research methods, chosen sample groups and types of result analysis, an own study could be conducted. Future research may well focus on identifying additional external factors that could further explain acceptance and usage of various learning technologies.

What is an ecological approach and how can it assist in understanding ICT take-up? - Hammond, Michael (British Journal of Educational Technology, 2019)
This paper argues that ecological frameworks offer a powerful way of explaining the take-up of information and communication technology (ICT) in schools. Past research has focused on teachers and their willingness and readiness to use ICT but this has not satisfactorily explained the use (or non-use) of ICT. Gaps in this research can be addressed by an ecological approach which shifts attention from the teacher to the context in which ICT is expected to be used. Such an approach, following Bronfenbrenner and others, looks at the relationship of individuals to the system in which they act, a relationship which is seen as interdependent. An ecological perspective explains how take-up of ICT is influenced by the degree to which different levels of a system, eg, micro, meso, exo and macro levels, are aligned. It is recommended that researchers and policy makers should pay greater attention to context when advocating the use of ICT.

Software review: COCI, the OpenCitations Index of Crossref open DOI-to-DOI citations - Heibi, Ivan; Peroni, Silvio; Shotton, David (Scientometrics, 2019)
Abstract In this paper, we present COCI, the OpenCitations Index of Crossref open DOI-to-DOI citations ( http://opencitations.net/index/coci ). COCI is the first open citation index created by OpenCitations, in which we have applied the concept of citations as first-class data entities, and it contains more than 445 million DOI-to-DOI citation links derived from the data available in Crossref. These citations are described using the resource description framework by means of the newly extended version of the OpenCitations Data Model (OCDM). We introduce the workflow we have developed for creating these data, and also show the additional services that facilitate the access to and querying of these data via different access points: a SPARQL endpoint, a REST API, bulk downloads, Web interfaces, and direct access to the citations via HTTP content negotiation. Finally, we present statistics regarding the use of COCI citation data, and we introduce several projects that have already started to use COCI data for different purposes.

Where is the “theory” within the field of educational technology research? - Hew, Khe Foon; Lan, Min; Tang, Ying; Jia, Chengyuan; Lo, Chung Kwan (British Journal of Educational Technology, 2019)
Critics often characterise the study of educational technology as under-theorised. To test this assertion and to determine the extent of this criticism, the present paper reports an in-depth analysis of the 503 most recent empirical articles published in three selected education-technology-related journals (Computers & Education; Learning, Media and Technology; and British Journal of Educational Technology). These journals were selected because they publish studies related to all education settings rather than focusing on only a certain segment such as higher education; they have broad geographical catchment; and they were the most highly ranked journals in terms of their 2017 journal citation impact factor. The present paper examines how explicitly existing theory was identified in previous research, how theories were applied and how often these theories were advanced in education technology research. In the majority of cases, explicit engagement with theory was absent. Many studies either were wholly bereft of theories or made vague use of theory. Where theory was explicit, the articles were more likely to use theory to conceptualise the research, to inform the data collection or analysis process and to discuss the results. Very few articles reported findings that help us to learn something new about a particular theory (ie, little evidence of theory advancement).

School factors related to the emotional wellbeing and resettlement outcomes of students from refugee backgrounds: Protocol for a systematic review - Horswood, Deserae; Baker, Jess; Fazel, Mina; Rees, Susan; Heslop, Linda; Silove, Derrick (Systematic Reviews, 2019)
Background: Schools can play a vital role in the resettlement of refugee children and their families. Yet, the body of research examining school environmental factors that support the mental health and acculturation of refugee children is methodologically heterogeneous, investigates numerous and disparate school factors, and is often "hidden" in broader qualitative studies. This limits the capacity to apply the findings in a practical manner. Methods: Based on PRISMA statement principles, we review the relevant literature to investigate the relationship between school climate and the emotional wellbeing and resettlement outcomes of refugee students. Six electronic databases will be systematically searched: MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Embase, CINAL, Web of Science, and ERIC, supplemented by a systematic review of the grey literature, relevant international websites, and sequential, site-specific internet searches. Finally, subject area experts will be consulted and backward and forward citation searches of included articles will be completed. Two independent reviewers will screen identified articles against eligibility criteria and extract data for included studies. Quality of included studies will be assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) for mixed studies reviews. Data will be synthesised using a convergent qualitative narrative approach. Discussion: Given the centrality of school in the daily lives of resettled refugee children, it is vital to assess the impact of school climate on the psychosocial wellbeing and resettlement trajectories of this population. This review will identify evidence-based school factors which support good mental health and resettlement outcomes for refugee students and make recommendations for translation of this knowledge into the school environment.

What Do We Mean by Blended Learning? - Hrastinski, Stefan (TechTrends, 2019)
The term blended learning is used frequently, but there is ambiguity about what is meant. What do we mean by blended learning? What, how and why are we blending? In this paper different definitions, models and conceptualizations of blended learning and their implications are discussed. Inclusive definitions and models, and diverse conceptualizations, mean that essentially all types of education that include some aspect of face-to-face learning and online learning is described as blended learning in the literature. Blended learning has become an umbrella term. Blended learning is also used to describe other blends, such as combining different instructional methods, pedagogical approaches and technologies, although these blends are not aligned with influential blended learning definitions. Since blended learning has many meanings, it is important that researchers and practitioners carefully explain what blended learning means to them. It is also suggested that alternative, more descriptive terms, could be used as a complement or replacement to blended learning.

Pakistani Teacher-Educator Professional Learning through an International Blended Course - Impedovo, Maria Antonietta; Malik, Sufiana Khatoon (Open Praxis, 2019)
International teacher-educator learning supports a more complex vision of teacher professionalism for both developed and developing countries. The aim of this paper is the analysis of Pakistani teacher-educator professional learning after attending an international blended course, considering the impact of online and face-to-face participation and the main competencies involved in their professional learning. The blended learning course attended by the Pakistani Teacher-educators is part of an international project between Europe and Asia. The analysis is carried out using written traces in the online platform; 47 questionnaires at the end of the face-to-face training sessions in Pakistan and 10 deep-interviews with Pakistani educators; the written traces, open questions, and deep-interviews were qualitatively analyzed. Additionally, the educators' technological, pedagogical and instructional design and interpersonal and intercultural skills were also analysed. The paper considers how international learning could affect the professional learning of teacher-educators in Global South and the centrality of the design of innovative learning courses for today's environment of international globalization.

Decolonisation in Universities: The politics of knowledge - Jansen, Jonathan (Wits University Press, 2019)
Shortly after the giant bronze statue of Cecil John Rhodes came down at the University of Cape Town, student protestors called for the decolonisation of universities. It was a word hardly heard in South Africa’s struggle lexicon and many asked: What exactly is decolonisation? This book brings together some of the most innovative thinking on curriculum theory to address this important question. In the process, several critical questions are raised: Is decolonisation simply a slogan for addressing other pressing concerns on campuses and in society? What is the colonial legacy with respect to curricula and can it be undone? How is the project of curricula decolonisation similar to or different from the quest for post-colonial knowledge, indigenous knowledge or a critical theory of knowledge? What does decolonisation mean in a digital age where relationships between knowledge and power are shifting? Strong conceptual analyses are combined with case studies of attempts to ‘do decolonisation’ in settings as diverse as South Africa, Uganda, Tanzania and Mauritius. This comparative perspective enables reasonable judgments to be made about the prospects for institutional take-up within the curriculum of century-old universities. Decolonisation in Universities is essential reading for undergraduate teaching, postgraduate research and advanced scholarship in the field of curriculum studies.Shortly after the giant bronze statue of Cecil John Rhodes came down at the University of Cape Town, student protestors called for the decolonisation of universities.

A systematic literature review of the use of Semantic Web technologies in formal education - Jensen, Jesper (British Journal of Educational Technology, 2019)
This paper presents a systematic literature review of research focused on use of Semantic Web technologies in formal educational contexts. Through systematic search, the review has identified 199 research articles, which are examined with the intention of identifying prevalent themes within the body of research within the field of formal educational use of Semantic Web technologies. The themes identified by the review are: (1) Semantic Web ontologies; (2) Efficient distribution, accessibility, retrieval, reuse and combination of educational resources; (3) Linked Data; (4) Semantic Web enhanced virtual learning environments and personalization of learning environments; (5) Semantic Web learning objects; (6) Evaluation, feedback and assessment; (7) Semantic Web services; (8) Pedagogical tools for teachers and students. Furthermore, this review seeks to examine how these themes and the use of Semantic Web technologies in formal education reflects on the ongoing discussion of how pedagogy and technology should interact. The outset of this discussion is a previous study by Dirckinck-Holmfeld, which establishes that there is a tendency to emphasize technology over pedagogy in educational design and development.

SiLearn: an intelligent sign vocabulary learning tool - Jestin, Joy; Kannan, Balakrishnan; Sreeraj, M (Journal of Enabling Technologies, 2019)
Purpose Vocabulary learning is a difficult task for children without hearing ability. Absence of enough learning centers and effective learning tools aggravate the problem. Modern technology can be utilized fruitfully to find solutions to the learning difficulties experienced by the deaf. The purpose of this paper is to present SiLearn – a novel technology based tool for teaching/learning sign vocabulary.Design/methodology/approach The proposed mobile application can act as a visual dictionary for deaf people. SiLearn is equipped with features that can automatically detect both text and physical objects and convert them to their corresponding signs. For testing the effectiveness of the proposed mobile application quantitative analyses were done. Quantitative analysis is based on testing a class of 28 students belonging to St Clare Oral School for the Deaf, Kerala, India. This group consisted of 17 boys and 11 girls. Analysis was also done through questionnaire. Questionnaires were given to teachers, parents of deaf students learning sign language and other sign language learners.Findings Results indicate that as SiLearn is very effective in sign vocabulary development. It can enhance vocabulary learning rate considerably.Originality/value This is the first time that artificial intelligence (AI) based techniques are used for early stage sign language learning. SiLearn can equally be used by children, parents and teachers for learning sign language.

Technology and Teacher Professional Development (TPD): the Process and Content of Microlearning in a School-Based Integrated In-Service Teacher Education (INSET) Project - Junaid, Muhammad Ibn; Ogange, Betty; Allela, Melisa (Commonwealth of Learning (COL), 2019)
Continuing teacher professional development for all teachers across the entire school system poses a challenge in many contexts, especially in developing countries. Teachers from schools located in remote rural areas usually have fewer professional development opportunities due to the lack of accessibility either to their schools or to professional development resources. On-site school-based professional development is a viable option if innovative design is adapted to generate microlearning resources that teachers can easily access and share. This paper reports on a technology enabled school-based integrated INSET project coordinated by the Freetown Teachers College (FTC) in 12 junior secondary schools (JSS) in Sierra Leone under the COL’s Teacher Futures Programme. The project represents an innovation in TPD and is different from the general type of face-to-face and exclusively paper-based in-service teacher training programme common in Sierra Leone. Under the new project a multimodal approach is used where the FTC mentors and the communities of learners (JSS teachers) are presented with both print and microlearning resources and also provided access to an eLearning platform and the use of mobile phones as the main vehicles of delivery. Microlearning is an emergent learning strategy known for its quick response in bridging skills and knowledge gaps. In the context of the INSET Project, it involves a weekly dose of pedagogical content knowledge and skills, including modelling of classroom best practices which teachers can adapt and use. The project design and methods are briefly described, but the main focus of the paper is on the microlearning component of this project and discusses the use of mobile technology in the delivery and implementation of TPD in the 12 project schools. The emphasis is on the methodological and management challenges that arise in creating and nurturing communities of practice (CoPs) in a school-based setting and how these are addressed by the various schools involved.

Developing TPACK in science and mathematics teacher education in Tanzania: A proof of concept study - Kafyulilo, Ayoub; Fisser, Petra (Collaborative Curriculum Design for Sustainable Innovation and Teacher Learning, 2019)
Since 1997, the government of Tanzania has made several attempts at introducing technology into education. However, despite these efforts technology has not become integrated into educational practice. A main reason is that teachers do not embrace the use of technology in their teaching. This study was initiated to design, implement and evaluate a professional development arrangement aimed at promoting teachers’ use of technology in their teaching practice. The study started with a ‘proof of concept’ study. Based on experiences in Ghana and Kuwait, a professional development arrangement was developed that incorporated ‘learning technology by design’ to prepare pre-service science and math teachers for using technology in their teaching. The experiences from this study informed the design of a professional development arrangement for practicing science teachers. The iterative design, implementation and evaluation of the professional development arrangements will be presented and discussed.

Investigating ICTs for Education in Marginalized Communities - Kamal, Mehruz; Diksha, Diksha (2019)
The Agenda for Sustainable Development is a universal agenda to eliminate poverty through sustainable development by 2030. When it was adopted in 2015, the international community recognized that education was essential for the success of all seventeen of its goals. Ambitions for education are captured in Sustainable Development Goal 4, which aims to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.” The United Nations has explicitly stated the importance of using ICTs in achieving educational opportunities. Since then, very few studies have tackled the issue. The findings so far, do not provide detailed guidance on the impact of ICTs in this domain. The purpose of this study is to contribute to this gap by integrating research in the fields of Information Systems, Development studies, and Psychology to understand the factors for facilitating educational objectives through ICTs within marginalized communities.

‘When Will You Start Teaching the REAL Curriculum?’ - Karim, Azmina; Hussain, Faheem (Information and Communication Technologies for Development. Strengthening Southern-Driven Cooperation as a Catalyst for ICT4D, 2019)
This paper explores key problems faced by different humanitarian agencies in educating Rohingya refugees from Myanmar seeking asylum in Bangladesh. The first half this research provides an overview of the challenges faced by different refugee communities globally in the Education sector, followed by the relevant ICT interventions. Then, based on our interviews and focus group discussions with Rohingya refugees, we highlight the roadblocks faced by them while accessing education services in their camps. Absence of coherent curriculum, challenges with language, lack of qualified teachers, and non-acceptance of ICTs as primary education tools for children are identified as some of the key challenges faced by Rohingyas. Based on our research, we recommend that enabling policies and an inclusive hybrid knowledge network, emboldened by pre and in-service teacher training, inclusive religious education, standardized curriculum, and tangible employment opportunities can pave the path for a better and an educated future for the persecuted Rohingyas.

Teaching game and simulation based probability - Koparan, Timur (International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2019)
Technology and games are the areas where learners are most interested in today's world. If these two can be brought together within the framework of learning objectives, they can be an advantage for teachers and students. This study aims to investigate the learning environment supported by game and simulation. The games were used to evaluate the basic probability knowledge of the prospective teachers, to demonstrate the role of problem solving in the formation of the mathematical knowledge, and to enable discussing mathematical ideas in a worksheet. Simulations were used for visualization and a large number of experiments. The sampling of the study, by which case study research is adopted, is comprised of 40 prospective teachers at a state university in Turkey. The data were collected by introducing nine open-ended questions by means of games, worksheets and simulation activities. The questions asked relevant to the games include making predictions about the fairness of the games, playing the games in small numbers and in big numbers and the observation of the scores, calculation of the winning probabilities of the gamers both experimentally and theoretically, and their comparisons. The process of finding out the probability information underlying the games by the prospective teachers was analyzed qualitatively by means of worksheets, simulations and in-class observation, and the ways of thinking, intuitions, estimations, strategies, and opinions about the learning situation of the participants were tried to be determined. The results obtained put forward that the learning situation that was set up simultaneously contributed to the knowledge of probability and probability teaching of the prospective teachers; and that the candidates' opinions about the learning situation are positive.

Should students use digital scratchpads? Impact of using a digital assistive tool on arithmetic problem-solving - Kwak, Minji; Gweon, Gahgene (Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2019)
An excessive cognitive load may reduce a student’s problem-solving performance by preventing effective learning. Using an assistive tool, such as a notepad, can reduce such extraneous cognitive while solving a problem, thereby improving a student’s performance. In this paper, we collected game log data from an educational game, called “Double digit”, which has a digital scratchpad as an assistive tool that can be used to reduce student’s cognitive load. We examine whether a correlation exists between the amount of “digital scratchpad usage” and a student’s “game performance”. Game log data, which consisted of 1,440,000 actions, was collected from 418 students in kindergarten to grade 2. Our data analysis using person-correlation shows a significant positive relationship between digital scratchpad usage and game performance for all three game difficulty levels. Interestingly, the correlation increases as the game difficulty level increases. This suggests that as game level difficulty increases, which requires a higher cognitive load of a student, students who used the digital scratchpad had higher game performance.

Evaluation of technology use in education: Findings from a critical analysis of systematic literature reviews - Lai, Jennifer W. M.; Bower, Matt (Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2019)
Because the educational technology research literature is so broad, it is difficult for researchers to acquire an accurate sense of the issues and trends across the entire field. There has not been any recent effort to synthesize or critically analyse the systematic reviews in the area of educational technology. This study analysed 73 systematic literature reviews, including meta-analyses, focused on the evaluation of technology in educational contexts, in order to holistically understand the impact of learning technology use across different aspects of evaluation. Among these reviews, the most common theme examined was learning outcomes (89%), followed by affective elements (45%), behaviours (25%), technological elements (21%) and teaching/pedagogical aspects (19%). Most of the reviews found that the use of technology improved learning outcomes and affective perceptions. Approaches involving interaction, gamification, constructivism, student-centred learning and feedback were most effective. The analysis highlighted the need for more reviews focusing on multiple aspects of learning technology evaluation, on school level education and on the use of technology in naturalistic (non-interventional) settings. Critical reflections are also cast on the methods used to conduct systematic reviews in the educational technology field.

The politics of the education budget: Financing mass secondary education in Tanzania (2004–2012) - Languille, Sonia (International Journal of Educational Development, 2019)
This article examines the budget dimension of the rapid expansion of secondary education in Tanzania since 2004. It aims to illuminate important challenges associated with the current international call for universal secondary education and for domestic revenue mobilization to fill the significant financial gap to achieve SDG 4 by 2030. The article sheds light on critical political factors that shaped Tanzania’s education budget allocation, a topic scarcely scholarly investigated. In light of the analysis, the article concludes that tax justice, at global and national level, needs to guide any ambitious agenda for action to finance quality education for all.

Matuto, Magbasa, Maglaro: Learning to read braille through play - Lopez, Rhianne M.; Pinder, Shane D.; Davies, T. Claire (Assistive Technology, 2019)
In September 2016, Digital Learning for Development and All Children Reading released a “Grand Challenge for Development” urging researchers to explore the barriers that children with sensory disabilities in the Philippines face with respect to learning how to read. We sought to address one component of this challenge; engagement of persons with visual impairment in learning how to read in braille. The primary goal of this study was to engage in the co-design process to create a device to help young children with visual impairments learn to identify letters and short words in braille as a first step to reading.

ICTs and development in developing countries: a systematic review of reviews - Lwoga, Edda Tandi; Sangeda, Raphael Zozimus (The Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries, 2019)
This systematic review of reviews aimed to explore the contribution of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for development in developing countries. This systematic review of reviews determines and summarizes ICTD research trends, and methodologies and conceptual frameworks used in ICTD research discuss the findings and evidence and then suggest approaches for further research. We reviewed existing systematic reviews published on ICT and development between January 1990 and July 2017. The review of reviews shows that a growing number of ICTD research works have used qualitative research approaches for data collection and analysis. We note several attempts to develop and apply models/frameworks over explanatory and predictive theories, most notably in the area of social, sociotechnical, and technical. Nevertheless, there is limited evidence on the long‐term contribution of ICT use on livelihoods, patterns of economic inequality, human freedom, and well‐being in developing countries. This review of reviews synthesizes existing systematic reviews on the contribution of ICT for development than was previously available for developing countries. This review has the potential for several stakeholders, including the public and private sector, intermediaries, and nonprofit organizations, to utilize the accumulated evidence from selected systematic reviews to enable/improve the appropriate and sustainable use of ICTs for development.

WhatsApp utilisation at an initial teacher preparation programme at a university of technology in South Africa - Mabaso, Nkosinomusa; Meda, Lawrence (Proceedings of Teaching and Education Conferences, 2019)
All universities in South Africa are encouraged to use a Learning Management System such as Blackboard to facilitate blended learning. Despite, the availability of Blackboard at one university of technology in the country, some lecturers and students prefer utilising WhatsApp for teaching and learning. The purpose of this study is to investigate students and lecturers’ perspectives about learning and teaching using WhatsApp at a university in South Africa. The study was done using a qualitative case study within an intepretivist paradigm. It was guided by Garrison, Anderson and Archer’s Community of Inquiry as a theoretical framework. Sixteen students and two lecturers who heavily use WhatsApp were purposively selected to participate in semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. The study found that lecturers use WhatsApp not only for communication purposes, but to foster collaborative learning among students. Although students noted some limitations which they experience when using WhatsApp, they preferred the social media to blackboard. The study concludes that although WhatsApp is response to students’ needs, it does not adequately prepare students to graduate with digital literacy skills expected by the Department of Education in the country.

Participatory visual methods and school-based responses to HIV in rural South Africa: insights from youth, preservice and inservice teachers - MacEntee, Katie (Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2019)
This paper explores students', preservice teachers' and inservice teachers' perceptions of the contributions and challenges of using participatory visual methodologies (PVM) to enhance HIV education in rural schools. Drawing on findings from three research projects conducted in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, four positive contributions are identified: 1) novelty, fun and engagement; 2) amplifying youth voices; 3) the facilitation of teachers' reflexive learning; and 4) the production of local resources in under-resourced schools. Challenges include: 1) limited technology access; 2) teacher discomfort; and 3) resistance to PVM integration. Teachers and young people, especially in under resourced rural settings, can benefit from integrating such methodologies into their responses to HIV and AIDS. However, sustainable integration must rely on choosing the most appropriate participatory visual methodologies given the technological resources available in school. The paper concludes with recommendations to optimise participatory visual methodologies integration into rural school-based HIV responses.

Analysis of motor performance in individuals with cerebral palsy using a non-immersive virtual reality task – a pilot study - Martins, Fabiana Paula Almeida; Massetti, Thaís; Crocetta, Tania Brusque; Lopes, Priscila Bianchi; da Silva, Amanda Abreu; Figueiredo, Eliketylen Fernandes; de Abreu, Luiz Carlos; da Silva, Talita Dias; Monteiro, Carlos Bandeira de Mello (Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment, 2019)
Purpose To evaluate the performance improvement of individuals with hemiparesis cerebral palsy (CP) using a virtual task. Participants and methods Twenty individuals were selected and distributed into two groups. The experimental group (CP group) comprised ten individuals with a medical diagnosis of CP, and ten individuals with typical development (sex- and age-matched) composed the control group (TD group). Both groups followed the same intervention protocol, which included a virtual coincident timing task: the participants performed upper limb movements in front of a computer’s webcam and interacted with the task with the aim of virtually intercepting spheres that fell in four rows following the rhythm of a pre-selected song during an 8-minute period. To verify the influence on a real task, pre- and posttests were performed in a similar task, but with physical contact (using the spacebar on the keyboard of a computer). To analyze the data, we evaluated the variable, constant, and absolute errors during the task and in the pre- and posttests. Results The results showed that there was an improvement in performance between the pre- and posttests; that is, after practicing the task in an environment without physical contact, there was a performance improvement in posttests in the real task, but only for the CP group. Moreover, there were significant differences in precision and accuracy between the two groups, with worse performance in the CP group. Conclusion Individuals with CP presented better performance in the real task after practice in a virtual reality task, albeit with worse performance compared with individuals with TD. This is an interesting result that supports the possible use of virtual tasks for the rehabilitation of individuals with CP.

Private engagement in refugee education and the promise of digital humanitarianism - Menashy, Francine; Zakharia, Zeena (Oxford Review of Education, 2019)
This paper examines the prevalence of technological interventions in education in emergencies through a case study of private participation in Syrian refugee education in Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey. This research is conceptually situated within critiques of ‘digital humanitarianism’, simultaneously interrogating the role of technology in humanitarian responses and the roles of private actors who promote this technology. Our study demonstrates that a pervasive optimism concerning education technology in emergencies accompanies a surge in private actor engagement in Syrian refugee education. Findings indicate that while access to technology in educational settings is important to the Syrian refugee populations, private actors’ disproportionate focus on technology is problematic, particularly when technological interventions are viewed as panaceas for refugee education; designed free from coordination; driven by profit motivations; and developed in a manner decontextualised from the learning context. This study attends to the necessity of countering the overwhelming optimism about technology as a panacea for refugee education, which fails to problematise the implications of interventions developed in the Global North for a distant ‘other’ in the Global South.

Awareness and use of a mobile phone as a potential pedagogical tool among secondary school teachers in Tanzania - Mfaume, Hamisi (International Journal of Education and Development using Information and Communication Technology (IJEDICT), 2019)
The government of Tanzania through its ICT Policy for Basic Education, has indicated a commitment to use of mobile phones among other ICTs, as a strategy to enhance the quality of education. It is from this fact that this study determined teachers’ awareness of the educational benefits of the device, their use and barriers towards their educational use. The study was qualitative in nature, using a sample of twenty one (21) teachers who were purposefully selected from three secondary schools. Data were sought through semi-structured interviews and were thematically analysed. The findings revealed that teachers are well informed of the benefits, but they hardly utilize it for educational purposes. Lack of knowledge and skills, a negative attitude, lack of awareness of the ICT policy, age and low motivation emerged as key barriers. In light of the findings, the study concluded that the government’s commitment to integrate the device in the promotion of quality education has not yet moved beyond policy statements. Thus, a concerted effort is needed to train teachers on pedagogical utilization of the device.

Harnessing the power of a mobile phone in the promotion of teacher ethics in Tanzania - Mfaume, Hamisi; Mgaya, Rose; Bilinga, Margareth (International Journal of Education and Development using ICT, 2019)
This study examined teachers’ perspectives on using a mobile phone in the promotion of teacher ethics in Tanzania. It was informed by the qualitative approach, using a sample of forty-eight (48) respondents who were drawn through purposive and convenient sampling techniques. Data were sought through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and were subjected to thematic data analysis. Findings indicated that a handful of respondents perceived a mobile phone as a viable tool in the promotion of teacher ethics. Moreover, ownership and accessibility, popularity and ease of use, internet coverage and connectivity, as well as the ubiquitous nature of the device were the reasons given for their perceptions. However, teachers’ lack of knowledge, attitude and beliefs, financial problems, limited network connection, and poor coordination and technical support were the anticipated challenges in using the device in the promotion of teacher ethics. Based on the noted potential of the device, the study recommends the need for Teachers’ Service Commission in Tanzania to adopt and use the device so as to ensure wider coverage of ethical information and combat unethical conduct amongst teachers.

Mining students’ data to analyse usage patterns in eLearning systems of secondary schools in Tanzania - Mtebe, Joel S; Kondoro, Aron W (Journal of Learning for Development, 2019)
The adoption and use of various eLearning systems to enhance the quality of education in secondary schools in Tanzania is becoming common. However, there is little evidence to suggest that students actually use them. Existing studies tend to focus on investigating students’ attitude towards using these systems through surveys. Nonetheless, data from surveys is normally subject to the possibility of distortion, low reliability, and rarely indicate the causal effects. This study adopted WEKA and KEEL as data mining tools to analyze students’ usage patterns and trends using 68,827 individual records from the log file of the Halostudy system implemented in secondary schools in Tanzania. The study found that the system usage is moderate and in decline. There is also variability in the usage of multimedia elements with biology having the highest number while mathematics has the lowest. Students from Dar es Salaam, Mwanza, and Arusha, in that order, had the highest system usage with the lowest being from the peripheral regions. The possible challenges limiting system usage are discussed. These findings show that data mining tools can be used to indicate usage patterns of systems implemented in sub-Saharan Africa and to help educators to find ways of maximising systems usage.

Determinants of Implementation of Public Sector Projects in Kenya: A Case of Laptop Project in Public Primary Schools in Kangundo Sub-County, Machakos County - Muinde, Samuel Mutisya; Mbataru, Patrick (2019)
In One-to-one laptop programs are becoming popular across the globe. However available evidence suggests that their implementations in schools are often faced with challenges. For example, even though the government of Kenya began supplying laptops to public primary schools in 2016; reports indicate that the gadgets have not fully been put into use in many schools. Most of the empirical studies done in this area have majorly focused on the level of success and factors influencing implementation of the project and not the extent to which specific variables determine implementation of the project, thus resulting to a research gap. In order to fill this gap, study focused on the determinants of implementation of the laptop project in public primary schools in Kangundo Sub-county. The study was guided by 4 research objectives: i.) To assess the extent to which teachers’ perception determine implementation of the laptop project; ii) To establish the extent to which teachers’ capacity in ICT determine implementation of the laptop project; iii) To establish the extent to which availability of facilities determine the implementation of the laptop project; and iv) To establish the extent to which availability of digital subject content determine implementation of the laptop project. The study was premised on three (3) theories; Technology Acceptance Model, Constructivist Learning Theory and Resource Based Theory. The study adopted descriptive survey design. It targeted all the public primary schools, all teachers in lower primary and all the Ministry of Education officials heading the four zones that constitute Kangundo Sub-county. The study targeted all the 74 public primary schools which have 222 lower primary teachers, 74 head teachers and 4 MOEST officials making a total target population of 300. It adopted stratified random sampling in stratifying the schools into four zones and randomly selected 22 schools. All 22 school heads and all 66 lower primary school teachers of the participating schools were purposively sampled. Additionally, the 4 MOEST officials heading the four zones were included, making a sample of 92 participants. Tools of data collection included questionnaires for teachers and school heads, an interview guide for MOEST officials and an observation checklist. The data analysis was conducted using SPSS. Content analysis was adopted in analyzing qualitative data whereas descriptive statistics such as frequencies and percentages were used in analyzing quantitative data. Tables and figures were used to present the study results. The inferential analysis conducted shows that there was a significant relationship between independent and dependent variables. Both teachers’ capacity on ICT and availability of facilities were found to have significant effect on implementation of the laptop project while teachers’ perception and availability of digital subject content were found to have insignificant effect on the project in public primary schools in Kangundo Sub-County.

Developing BacaBicara: An Indonesian Lipreading System as an Independent Communication Learning for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing - Muljono, Muljono; Saraswati, Galuh Wilujeng; Winarsih, Nurul Anisa Sri; Rokhman, Nur; Supriyanto, Catur; Pujiono, Pujiono (International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning (iJET), 2019)
Deaf and hard-of-hearing people have limitations in communication, espe-cially on aspects of language, intelligence, and social adjustment. To com-municate, deaf people use sign language or lipreading. For normal people, it is very difficult to use sign language. They have to memorize many hand signs. Therefore, lipreading is a necessary for communication between nor-mal and deaf people. In Indonesia, there is still few education media for deaf people to learn lipreading. To overcome this challenge, we develop a lipread-ing educational media to help deaf and hard-of-hearing to learn Bahasa In-donesia, called BacaBicara. User-Centered Design (UCD) is implemented to design the application and to analyze the constraints and conceptual models for the needs of users. This conceptual model uses the picture, lipreading video, text, and sign language to help the users understand the contents. The High fidelity prototype was implemented for evaluating usability testing. Based on the evaluation of the application, the results show that the proto-type matches the usability goals and the user experience.

Cloud computing architecture for eLearning in secondary schools - Mwakisole, Kennedy; Kissaka, Mussa; Mtebe, Joel (The African Journal of Information Systems, 2019)
In recent years, schools have been investing heavily on information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure to implement eLearning systems to enhance the quality of education in secondary schools in Tanzania. The majority of these systems are implemented using a traditional web-based eLearning approach on school premises which is costly and limits usage due to lack of scalability and flexibility. Consequently, many schools have started adopting cloud computing as a solution. However, this adaption depends on well-defined cloud eLearning architecture. This study proposed cloud architecture for implementing an eLearning system in secondary schools in Tanzania by adopting various layers proposed in previous studies. The effectiveness of this proposal was evaluated by comparing its performance with a similar traditional web-based eLearning system using the Moodle benchmark tool and Apache Jmeter. The study found that eLearning systems implemented in the cloud-based infrastructure had better performance metrics than web-based eLearning systems on school premises.

Home language, school language and children's literacy attainments: A systematic review of evidence from low- and middle-income countries - Nag, Sonali; Vagh, Shaher Banu; Dulay, Katrina May; Snowling, Margaret J. (Review of Education, 2019)
The general consensus in the field is that when the home language is different from the language of instruction in school then children's literacy attainments could slow down. In this 26-year review of the literature on children's literacy attainments in low- to middle-income countries, 40 correlational, ethnographic and intervention studies provide the data. We test the ‘home language advantage’ hypothesis where we expect children who speak the same language at home and school to show better literacy learning. We also examine other attributes in the home language and literacy environment (HLLE). Among the multivariate studies, trends differ across countries, age and grade levels, and child measures. Rather than a universal home language advantage, the evidence shows that home language advantage is context-sensitive. The correlational and ethnographic evidence point to a multiple risk factors model of home and school language disconnection; and the ethnographic and intervention studies provide complementary evidence of both feelings of unease, disempowerment and wish to help among family members, and increased confidence following guided support. Possible underlying mechanisms are examined through parallel synthesis of evidence from multiple research methods on three HLLE dimensions—books-at-home, home tutoring and adult literacy practices. The data partially corroborate findings from high-income countries (e.g. home environments impact literacy development, responsive parenting is present across families) but also bring focus on context-specific realities. Neither low-income nor low-print environments are uniform constraints because communities differ and some homes use available resources more efficiently than others.

Approximating the equilibrium effects of informed school choice - Neilson, Christopher A (Working Paper #628, Princeton University Industrial Relations Section, 2019)
This paper studies the potential small and large scale effects of a policy designed to produce more informed consumers in the market for primary education. We develop and test a personalized information provision intervention that targets families of public Pre-K students entering elementary schools in Chile. Using a randomized control trial, we ﬁnd that the intervention shifts parents’ choices toward schools with higher average test scores, higher value added, higher prices, and schools that tend to be further from their homes. Tracking students with administrative data, we ﬁnd that student academic achievement on test scores was approximately 0.2 standard deviations higher among treated families ﬁve years after the intervention. To quantitatively gauge how average treatment effects might vary in a scaled up version of this policy, we embed the randomized control trial within a structural model of school choice and competition where price and quality are chosen endogenously and schools face capacity constraints. We use the estimated model of demand and supply to simulate policy effects under different assumptions about equilibrium constraints. In counterfactual simulations, we ﬁnd that capacity constraints play an important role mitigating the policy effect but in several scenarios, the supply-side response increases quality, which contributes to an overall positive average treatment effect. Finally, we show how the estimated model can inform the design of a large scale experiment such that reduced form estimates can capture equilibrium effects and spillovers.

Online teacher professional development in ICT integration in Tanzania: An experience report - Ngeze, Lucian Vumilia; Iyer, Sridhar (Proceedings of the 27th International Conference on Computers in Education., 2019)
Integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in teaching and learning in schools has been hindered by many barriers, including lack of in-service teacher training, teacher beliefs and lack of infrastructure. In the effort to solve the challenge of teacher training in Tanzania, few in-service teachers, based on different parameters, are selected to participate in the face to face ICT training at the specified training centre. Scaling of such teacher training initiatives has been challenging over time. To reach more school teachers, we developed a ten-day online course, run over Moodle. A total of 134 teachers from all the regions of Tanzania registered and participated. Topics were developed based on the preference of the in-service teachers. Online surveys were used to collect qualitative and quantitative data before and after the course. Teachers were active during the duration of the course and many of them applied the skills in their schools by improving their teaching strategies, use of technology tools and sharing experiences with other teachers in their schools.

Supporting teachers in taking up productive talk moves: The long road to professional learning at scale - O’Connor, Catherine; Michaels, Sarah (International Journal of Educational Research, 2019)
In this paper we describe our early, qualitative work on “teacher talk moves” such as revoicing, situated within the urban classrooms of highly skilled teachers, including their role in the work of managing multiple constraints while maintaining productive inclusivity. We then describe our attempts to discern the impact of these talk tools on student achievement in multiple classrooms, using both post-hoc controls and in vivo studies. We move on to the challenges present in disseminating this work in professional development settings; our approach includes framing talk tools as rational responses to actual classroom challenges. Finally we describe current efforts to disseminate cyber-enabled PD in science education K-12, including a central focus on academically productive talk.
