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.

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.

She called, she Googled, she knew: girls' secondary education, interrupted school attendance, and educational use of mobile phones in Nairobi - Zelezny-Green, Ronda (Gender & Development, 2014)
Girls in Kenya commonly face multiple barriers to school attendance. At the same time, mobile phone use is growing throughout the country, and particularly in urban centres including Nairobi. As this technology spreads, the possibility increases of people using mobile phones for their own development purposes, including for education and learning. This article examines mobile phone use by girls at one secondary school in Nairobi, and in particular their attempts to mediate interrupted school attendance using this technology.

Nearly 22.5 million of Pakistan's children - in a country with a population of just over 200 million - are out of school, the majority of them girls. Thirty-two percent of primary school age girls are out of school in Pakistan, compared with 21 percent of boys. By ninth grade, only 13 percent of girls are still in school."–Publisher website

Shades of Grey: Guidelines for Working with the Grey Literature in Systematic Reviews for Management and Organizational Studies - Adams, Richard J.; Smart, Palie; Huff, Anne Sigismund (International Journal of Management Reviews, 2017)
This paper suggests how the ‘grey literature’, the diverse and heterogeneous body of material that is made public outside, and not subject to, traditional academic peer-review processes, can be used to increase the relevance and impact of management and organization studies (MOS). The authors clarify the possibilities by reviewing 140 systematic reviews published in academic and practitioner outlets to answer the following three questions: (i) Why is grey literature excluded from/included in systematic reviews in MOS? (ii) What types of grey material have been included in systematic reviews since guidelines for practice were first established in this discipline? (iii) How is the grey literature treated currently to advance management and organization scholarship and knowledge? This investigation updates previous guidelines for more inclusive systematic reviews that respond to criticisms of current review practices and the needs of evidence-based management.

Self-regulated learning: theories, measures, and outcomes - Zimmerman, Barry J. (International Encyclopedia of the Social & Behavioral Sciences, 2015)
Self-regulated learning refers to how students become masters of their own learning processes. Neither a mental ability nor a performance skill, self-regulation is instead the self-directive process through which learners transform their mental abilities into task-related skills in diverse areas of functioning, such as academia, sports, music, and health. This article will deﬁne self-regulated learning and describe the intellectual context in which the construct emerged, changes in researchers’ emphasis over time as well as current emphases, methodological issues related to the construct, and directions for future research.

Secondary data analysis - Vartanian, Thomas P. (Oxford University Press, USA, 2011)
In recent decades, social work and other social science research disciplines have become increasingly reliant on large secondary data sets, which have increased in both number and accessibility. When starting a new research project, how does one determine whether to use a secondary data set? Which of the thousands available should be used? This invaluable and expertly written guide provides an in-depth introduction to 29 of the most widely used data sets in social work, such as the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, and the U.S. Census. This book also examines the years covered by these cross-sectional and longitudinal data sets, the units of analysis, and the sample sizes.Readers will learn where to find the data and the key variables contained within, and how to use them in SAS and Stata. Screen shots guide researchers through data sets in a step-by-step process: how to download the data, how to merge it with other data sets, and how to program it when necessary. Each section also profiles studies that have used the respective data sets, giving researchers a clear feel for the depth and range of questions that a given data source can be used to answer, like the use of government data to explore issues ranging from pathways out of poverty to the relationship between marital dissolution and women's health and well-being.Exceptionally well calibrated and filled with real-world examples, this pocket guide will give beginning and advanced researchers a comprehensive understanding of these data sets that they can use in their research on clinical, policy, and other types studies.

Scrutinizing practicum for a more powerful teacher education: a longitudinal study with pre-service teachers - Tülüce, Serdar Hande; Çeçen, Sevdeger (Educational Sciences: Theory and Practice, 2016)
This study aims to explore the role of school-based practicum in promoting pre-service English language teachers' professional development through the use of a longitudinal design in combination with qualitative methods. To achieve this aim, pre-service teachers were asked to successively reflect on video-recordings of their micro-lessons in their university-based methodology courses directly after delivering the micro-lessons and retrospectively after their practicum experience. The participants of this study were 13 pre-service English language teachers studying at a foundation university in Istanbul, Turkey. The same data collection methodology was adapted before and after the practicum to gain a deeper understanding of the learning stemming from school-based practicum. The data for the study came from pre- and post-self-evaluation reports as well as pre- and post-focus-group interviews that had been collected based on the pre-service teachers' video-recorded microteaching simulations. The findings indicate that pre-service teachers commented on the same pedagogical, psychological, and physical factors they had noticed regarding their micro-lesson before and after the practicum. However, some qualitative changes were detected in their views over time as they had become more learner-oriented and had developed a more reflective view of teaching following the practicum. These findings have implications for the impact of practicum for future teacher education programs.

School Resources and Educational Outcomes in Developing Countries: A Review of the Literature from 1990 to 2010 - Glewwe, Paul W.; Hanushek, Eric A.; Humpage, Sarah D.; Ravina, Renato (National Bureau of Economic Research, 2011)
Developing countries spend hundreds of billions of dollars each year on schools, educational materials and teachers, but relatively little is known about how effective these expenditures are at increasing students' years of completed schooling and, more importantly, the skills that they learn while in school. This paper examines studies published between 1990 and 2010, in both the education literature and the economics literature, to investigate which specific school and teacher characteristics, if any, appear to have strong positive impacts on learning and time in school. Starting with over 9,000 studies, 79 are selected as being of sufficient quality. Then an even higher bar is set in terms of econometric methods used, leaving 43 "high quality" studies. Finally, results are also shown separately for 13 randomized trials. The estimated impacts on time in school and learning of most school and teacher characteristics are statistically insignificant, especially when the evidence is limited to the "high quality" studies. The few variables that do have significant effects - e.g. availability of desks, teacher knowledge of the subjects they teach, and teacher absence - are not particularly surprising and thus provide little guidance for future policies and programs.

School perspectives on collaborative inquiry: lessons learned from New York City, 2009-2010 - Robinson, Marian; Passantino, Claire; Acerra, Marsha; Bae, Lauren; Tiehen, Katie; Pido, Eric; Kannapel, Patricia; Duffy, Mark; Langland, Connie (2010)
The New York City Department of Education has supported collaborative inquiry as a potentially powerful process for helping administrators and teachers use student data to improve instruction and raise student achievement. Beginning with a pilot project in 2006, teams of teachers have learned to work together to diagnose the needs of students who have not been successful in their classrooms and to develop strategies to improve their learning. Collaborative inquiry sits at the heart of the Department's larger Children First initiative and aims to help educators close the achievement gap in their schools. Each year New York City schools have engaged higher proportions of faculty in the inquiry work. The goal is at least 90% participation in collaborative inquiry. The purpose of this research report is to share lessons learned about the conditions, structures, relationships, and leadership practice that support teacher participation in inquiry. The report also presents perceived benefits of collaborative inquiry as reported by school leaders and teachers. Data come from site visits to 13 schools actively engaged in collaborative inquiry. The research team conducted 213 interviews with principals, assistant principals, instructional support staffs, and teachers participating in inquiry and 37 observations of inquiry team meetings.

School governance, teacher incentives, and pupil–teacher ratios: Experimental evidence from Kenyan primary schools - Duflo, Esther; Dupas, Pascaline; Kremer, Michael (Journal of Public Economics, 2015)
Some education policymakers focus on bringing down pupil–teacher ratios. Others argue that resources will have limited impact without systematic reforms to education governance, teacher incentives, and pedagogy. We examine a program under which school committees at randomly selected Kenyan schools were funded to hire an additional teacher on an annual contract renewable conditional on performance, outside normal Ministry of Education civil-service channels, at one-quarter normal compensation levels. For students randomly assigned to stay with existing classes, test scores did not increase signiﬁcantly, despite a reduction in class size from 82 to 44 on average. In contrast, scores increased for students assigned to be taught by locally-hired contract teachers. One reason may be that contract teachers had low absence rates, while centrally-hired civil-service teachers in schools randomly assigned contract teachers endogenously reduced their effort. Civil-service teachers also captured rents for their families, with approximately 1/3 of contract teacher positions going to relatives of existing teachers. A governance program that empowered parents within school committees reduced both forms of capture. The best contract teachers obtained civil service jobs over time, and we estimate large potential dynamic beneﬁts from supplementing a civil service system with locally-hired contract teachers brought in on a probationary basis and granted tenure conditional on performance.

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.

School drop out in Bangladesh: insights using panel data - Sabatés, Ricardo; Hossain, Altaf; Lewin, Keith M. (International Journal of Educational Development, 2013)
This paper examines the relative strength of different factors associated with school drop out using data collected between 2007 and 2009 in Bangladesh. A sample of 9046 children, aged 4-15, was selected across six districts for a household survey focusing on children's school access and experiences. Two groups of children were identified: those who were enrolled in school in both 2007 and 2009 and those who dropped out by 2009. Using a multivariate logit model, results show age and gender, together with financial constraints, such as lack of income and school expenditure, as the top predictors of school drop out. Two other important predictors are lack of parental support for children's school work and school absenteeism. This paper identifies some possible interventions that could reduce school drop out. These include campaigns to reduce late entry and overage enrolment, reductions in direct costs of schooling, and more support for low achieving children to compensate for lack of educational support at home.

School Characteristics and Teacher Turnover: Assessing the Role of Preferences and Opportunities - Bonhomme, Stéphane; Jolivet, Grégory; Leuven, Edwin (The Economic Journal, 2016)
Job characteristics can affect worker turnover through their effect on utility and through their effect on outside job opportunities. The aim of this study is to identify and estimate the roles of these two channels separately. Our method exploits information on job changes, and relies on an augmented sample selection correction. To illustrate our approach, we use an exhaustive register of Dutch primary school teachers and show a detailed picture of preferences for school characteristics. We also find that the dependence between current and outside job attributes can affect turnover and thus the allocation of teachers across schools.

School-based teachers' professional development through technology-enhanced learning in Bangladesh - Mahruf C Shohel, M; Banks, Frank (Teacher Development, 2012)
To promote significant pedagogical change, the most successful teacher education programmes for the global south happen in the school context. This paper is based on a pre-pilot intervention study of an international education development programme in Bangladesh. Technology-enhanced learning, in this case the use of the Apple® iPod® (iPod touch®), was used to support teachers' teaching and learning in their school contexts. This paper presents evidence to demonstrate how such school-based technology-enhanced support systems impact on classroom practice and help teachers' professional development. Using the case of a pre-pilot intervention in the Underprivileged Children's Educational Programs schools, it explores the teachers' professional development by analysing interviews with the teachers who were participating in the pre-pilot intervention programme, and draws the conclusion from the collected data that school-based teachers' professional development through technology-enhanced learning is contributing significantly to in-service training in a resource-constrained context.

School-based professional development in one Lebanese school: how much is too much? - Nabhani, Mona; Bahous, Rima; Hamdan, Zeina (Professional Development in Education, 2012)
This case study examines the attitudes of the secondary and middle school teachers at one school in Lebanon regarding the effect of the school’s professional development (PD) programs on the quality of their teaching practices and motivation. It also examines teachers’ attitudes regarding PD as well as their recommendations to improve the quality of the PD program provided by their school. Questionnaires, focus group interviews and observations were conducted to collect and triangulate data results. Results show that teachers regard PD in their school as beneficial in general but able to be enhanced further. Although the attitude of novice teachers towards PD is more favorable than that of veteran teachers, findings show that the overall teachers’ attitude towards PD is a negative one. Modifications and suggestions to improve the quality of the PD activities are proposed by the teachers. The school offers a prosperous PD program, but its fruitfulness will remain limited unless an organizational structure is created.

School-based professional development in a developing context: Lessons learnt from a case study in Zambia - Haßler, Björn; Hennessy, S.; Cross,, A. (Professional Development in Education, 2014)
This paper reports on the development and outcomes of the second phase of OER4Schools, a school-based professional development programme supporting interactive forms of subject teaching in conjunction with Open Educational Resources (OER) and technology in Zambian primary schools. We worked with partners to identify the needs of school-based continuing professional development adapted to the local context; the programme was based on participatory, collaborative and inquiry-based pedagogies for both classroom learning and teacher development. We worked over a one-year period with four experienced teachers in two basic (primary) schools serving disadvantaged communities. Data were collected from observations, interviews, surveys, lesson planning/review meetings and team workshops. All participants integrated OER and technology into mathematics and science lessons and developed more interactive practices, including collaborative learning. Professional dialogue, quality conversations, reflective practice, cultural sensitivity, peer learning and cooperation were pivotal mechanisms through which teachers shifted their focus from teaching (and teacher exposition) to student learning. Seeing students as capable individuals, teachers raised their expectations and developed insight into interactive practices such as group work, providing meaningful opportunities for student collaboration and active learning by all.

Scaling up successfully: Lessons from Kenya’s Tusome national literacy program - Piper, Benjamin; Destefano, Joseph; Kinyanjui, Esther M.; Ong’ele, Salome (Journal of Educational Change, 2018)
Many successful piloted programs fail when scaled up to a national level. In Kenya, which has a long history of particularly ineffective implementation after successful pilot programs, the Tusome national literacy program—which receives funding from the United States Agency for International Development—is a national-level scale-up of previous literacy and numeracy programs. We applied a scaling framework (Crouch and DeStefano in Doing reform differently: combining rigor and practicality in implementation and evaluation of system reforms. International development group working paper no. 2017-01, RTI International, Research Triangle Park, NC, 2017. https://www.rti.org/publication/doing-reform-differently-combining-rigor-and-practicality-implementation-and-evaluation) to examine whether Tusome’s implementation was rolled out in ways that would enable government structures and officers to respond effectively to the new program. We found that Tusome was able to clarify expectations for implementation and outcomes nationally using benchmarks for Kiswahili and English learning outcomes, and that these expectations were communicated all the way down to the school level. We noted that the essential program inputs were provided fairly consistently, across the nation. In addition, our analyses showed that Kenya developed functional, if simple, accountability and feedback mechanisms to track performance against benchmark expectations. We also established that the Tusome feedback data were utilized to encourage greater levels of instructional support within Kenya’s county level structures for education quality support. The results indicated that several of the key elements for successful scale-up were therefore put in place. However, we also discovered that Tusome failed to fully exploit the available classroom observational data to better target instructional support. In the context of this scaling framework, the Tusome literacy program’s external evaluation results showed program impacts of 0.6–1.0 standard deviations on English and Kiswahili learning outcomes. The program implemented a functional classroom observational feedback system through existing government systems, although usage of those systems varied widely across Kenya. Classroom visits, even if still falling short of the desired rate, were far more frequent, were focused on instructional quality, and included basic feedback and advice to teachers. These findings are promising with respect to the ability of countries facing quality problems to implement a coherent instructional reform through government systems at scale.

Rumie: Bringing Digital Education to the Underserved - Kim, John J.-H.; Migdal, Amram (2016)
In fall of 2015, the Toronto, Canada–based education technology nonprofit Rumie had distributed thousands of computer tablets preloaded with collections of thousands of pieces of curated educational content to nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in some of the most impoverished countries around the world lacking in basic educational resources. Founder and executive director Tariq Fancy, with his team, were deciding whether to accept a large new order from an NGO in Pakistan that would require Rumie for the first time to provide ongoing services such as teacher training, performance monitoring, and other support. Some on the team felt that providing a full suite of bundled services would detract from their recent push to decouple Rumie's software and services from the physical tablets to achieve greater reach and scale. In October 2015, Rumie opened the LearnCloud, its proprietary online content curation portal for NGOs, to the public. Now anyone could discover, share, and rate free digital educational content from any source. Fancy considered, "Education access represents a big order and huge growth, but does it lead us into doing things we haven't done before, may not be good at, and may not be scalable to be used by different partners in different geographies?"

Recent innovations in online learning such as the MOOC (massive open online course) and concomitant growth in the use of online media for the delivery of courses in traditional campus based universities provide both opportunity and challenge for online tutors and learners alike. The recognition of the role that online tutors and student identity plays in the field of retention and progression of distance learners is also well documented in the field of distance learning. Focusing on a course forum linked to a single Level 2 undergraduate module and open to over 1,000 students, this ideographic case study, set in a large distance learning university, uses qualitative methodology to examine the extent to which participation in a large forum can be considered within community of practice (COP) frameworks and contributes to feelings of efficacy, student identity, and motivation. The paper draws on current theory pertaining to online communities and examines this in relation to the extent to which the forum adds to feelings of academic and social integration. The study concludes that although the large forum environment facilitates a certain degree of academic integration and identity there is evidence that it also presents a number of barriers producing negative effects on student motivation and online identity.

Role of ICT in Enabling High Quality OERs for Teacher Education and Training in Dadaab Refugee Settlement in Kenya - Ndalo, Agumba Musa (Research Journal of Education, 2016)
ICT and OER have the potential for uplifting the quality of refugee education across the world. Sustainable education in refugee camps/settlements is difficult to achieve in many countries that host refugees. This is because most international agencies that come to aid of the refugees are mostly concerned with basic humanitarian assistance like health, food and shelter. Quality education is a key determinant of students’ participation rates and achievement levels. It also remains an important ingredient towards attainment of social justice in terms of equity in educational quality for students. One contributing factor to quality education is availability of ICT infrastructure and quality OERs to create equity for many refugee learners in their camps. This paper describes how ICT and OER initiatives are appropriate tools for improving access, equity, and quality training and education of refugees in Dadaab refugee settlement schools in north eastern part of Kenya.

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.

Role of Educational Technology at Primary School Level In District Karak (Khyber Pukhtunkhwa) Pakistan - Suleman, Dr (International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences, 2011)
The study was conducted to explore the role of educational technology at primary school level in District Karak (Khyber Pukhtunkhwa). The main objectives of the study were; to investigate the availability, usability and importance of educational technology; and to investigate whether primary school teachers are for the effective use of technologies for teaching learning process. The study was descriptive in nature. All the teachers and students at primary level in District Karak constituted the population of the study. Only three hundred and sixty six (366) primary school teachers; and two thousand and two students (2002) of primary schools (@ of 25% and 5% respectively) were selected randomly as sample of the study. The study was descriptive in nature. Two different questionnaires were prepared for teachers and students for the collection of data. After analysis of data, the researcher arrived at results that educational technology is very useful for the effective teaching learning process at primary level. It was found that educational televisions, radios, film strips, flip charts, VCRs, overhead projectors, multimedia projectors, educational softwares, computers, and internet facilities were not available in schools. Majority of the teachers were not using the available technology in their teaching learning process. It was also found that teachers were not trained for the effective utilization of educational technology.

Rigorous large-scale educational RCTs are often uninformative: Should we be concerned? - Lortie-Forgues, Hugues; Inglis, Matthew (Educational Researcher, 2019)
There are a growing number of large-scale educational randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Considering their expense, it is important to reflect on the effectiveness of this approach. We assessed the magnitude and precision of effects found in those large-scale RCTs commissioned by the UK-based Education Endowment Foundation and the U.S.-based National Center for Educational Evaluation and Regional Assistance, which evaluated interventions aimed at improving academic achievement in K?12 (141 RCTs; 1,222,024 students). The mean effect size was 0.06 standard deviations. These sat within relatively large confidence intervals (mean width = 0.30 SDs), which meant that the results were often uninformative (the median Bayes factor was 0.56). We argue that our field needs, as a priority, to understand why educational RCTs often find small and uninformative effects.

Reward management strategies on employee performance in selected universities in Nakuru County, Kenya - Kathombe, Mary Wambui (Egerton University, 2018)
Rewards play an important role in increasing employee job satisfaction resulting in improving organizational performance. Motivated employees are the cornerstone of any successful organization. The main objective of this study was to establish the effects of reward management strategies on employee performance in selected universities in Nakuru County. The specific objectives were: to determine the effect of financial rewards on employee performance, to determine the effect of non-financial rewards on employee performance and to determine the combined effect of financial and non-financial rewards on employee performance. Descriptive survey design was adopted in conducting this study, as it was suitable for collecting information that described an existing phenomenon. The target population was 620 lecturers in two universities in Kenya namely Egerton and Kabarak Universities, which comprised a sample of 242 lecturers. The study primarily used a questionnaire to gather data from the respondents. Data from the questionnaire were systematically analyzed according to the research objectives and hypotheses. All hypotheses were tested using regression statistics and the results of the findings established that there is a strong positive association between combined effect of financial and non-financial rewards on employees‟ performance. According to the findings of this study, financial and non-financial rewards motivate employees to better performance. Thus, employee performance will be high in Kenyan universities that adopt an integrated effort on both financial and non-financial reward measurements. The study recommends the following: First, lecturers‟ promotion should be done regularly on merit. Secondly, Universities establish a competitive retirement benefit scheme to its employees. Third, Universities should engage their lecturers on regular training programs.

Revisiting the ‘m’ in m-learning: Making the most of mobile environments for teaching and learning in developing countries - Pouezevara, Sarah (Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE), 2015)
Educational innovations in developing countries are expanding due to pressure to achieve quality outcomes at scale and changing markets, where mobile devices are increasingly affordable. m-Learning as a concept has existed prior to the acceleration of these forces, but has gained increasing attention because of them. Growth in mobile phone ownership in developing countries has made mobile-phone enabled education (a form of e-learning) commonplace in formal and informal education. This paper draws on a broad review of existing m-learning programs to illustrate how instructional strategies...

Review of International Research on Factors Underlying Teacher Absenteeism. - Lee, Mary; Goodman, Crystal; Dandapani, Nitara; Kekahio, Wendy (Regional Educational Laboratory Pacific, 2015)
Throughout the U.S.-affiliated Pacific Region, teacher absenteeism has posed a long-standing challenge. This report draws on research literature from international contexts and case studies to identify the underlying factors that may relate to teacher absenteeism. Resources included in this report were selected with a focus on non-U.S. Pacific entities and emerging economy contexts that might be most relevant to the U.S.-affiliated Pacific Islands. Different search parameters were used to determine the scope of U.S./international literature to include in the review. The report found five main themes to consider in relation to teacher absenteeism: pay structure (for example, direct or indirect working relationship with the school), management (for example, school governance), working conditions (for example, school culture or single- vs. multi-grade classroom structure), community conditions (for example, teachers' proximity to the school), and social and cultural responsibilities (for example, illness, funeral attendance, and care of family members). Predictors of absenteeism vary across place and context. Given the diversity of Pacific Region communities, stakeholders should examine the extent to which the context and results of the research in this review correspond to the social, structural, cultural, and environmental characteristics of their own contexts. The following are appended: (1) Data and methodology; and (2) Viewing absenteeism through an international lens. A list of selected literature on teacher absenteeism in the United States is also included.

Revamping Higher Education Research in Pakistan - Faize, Fayyaz Ahmad; Khan, Adnan Sarwar; Kalim, Inayat (Policy Perspectives, 2018)
The world economy has shifted from export of natural resources to Knowledge-Based Economy (KBE) at present. The addition of hi-tech knowledge to finished products has provided impetus to many crippling economies. The role of higher education is very vital in realising this KBE. This is evident from the role that the US and European universities have assumed as business incubators and income generators through intensive industry-university liaison. However, the higher education institutes in Pakistan are still teaching-focussed. The need is to revamp higher education institutions by identifying the impediments in higher education research and exploring ways and means for improving it. The data for this study was collected from 655 faculty members selected from six universities through an open-ended questionnaire. For increasing reliability in the findings, a short semi-structured interview was conducted with 20 research experts. The questionnaire data was quantitatively analysed using percentages while the interviews were thematically analysed for drawing conclusions.

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

Resolving the “Cost-Effective but Unaffordable” Paradox: Estimating the Health Opportunity Costs of Nonmarginal Budget Impacts - Lomas, James; Claxton, Karl; Martin, Stephen; Soares, Marta (Value in Health, 2018)
Considering whether or not a proposed investment (an intervention, technology, or program of care) is affordable is really asking whether the benefits it offers are greater than its opportunity cost. To say that an investment is cost-effective but not affordable must mean that the (implicit or explicit) “threshold” used to judge cost-effectiveness does not reflect the scale and value of the opportunity costs. Existing empirical estimates of health opportunity costs are based on cross-sectional variation in expenditure and mortality outcomes by program budget categories (PBCs) and do not reflect the likely effect of nonmarginal budget impacts on health opportunity costs. The UK Department of Health regularly updates the needs-based target allocation of resources to local areas of the National Health Service (NHS), creating two subgroups of local areas (those under target allocation and those over). These data provide the opportunity to explore how the effects of changes in health care expenditure differ with available resources. We use 2008–2009 data to evaluate two econometric approaches to estimation and explore a range of criteria for accepting subgroup specific effects for differences in expenditure and outcome elasticities across the 23 PBCs. Our results indicate that health opportunity costs arising from an investment imposing net increases in expenditure are underestimated unless account is taken of likely nonmarginal effects. They also indicate the benefits (reduced health opportunity costs or increased value-based price of a technology) of being able to “smooth” these nonmarginal budget impacts by health care systems borrowing against future budgets or from manufacturers offering “mortgage” type arrangements.

Reshaping adolescents' gender attitudes: evidence from a school-based experiment in India - Dhar, Diva; Jain, Tarun; Jayachandran, Seema (National Bureau of Economic Research, 2018)
Societal norms about gender roles contribute to the economic disadvantages facing women in many developing countries. This paper evaluates a school-based intervention in India that engaged adolescents in classroom discussions about gender equality for two and a half years with the goal of eroding their support for restrictive gender norms. Using a randomized controlled trial, we find that the program made attitudes 0.18 standard deviations more supportive of gender equality, or, equivalently, converted 16% of participants' regressive views. In addition, self-reported behavior became more aligned with progressive gender norms, particularly among boys. The effects observed in the short run were still present two years after the program had ended.

Research on deep learning techniques in breaking text-based Captchas and designing image-based Captcha - Tang, Mengyun; Gao, Haichang; Zhang, Yang; Liu, Yi; Zhang, Ping; Wang, Ping (IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security, 2018)
The ability of hackers to infiltrate computer systems using computer attack programs and bots led to the development of Captchas or Completely Automated Public Turing Tests to Tell Computers and Humans Apart. The text Captcha is the most popular Captcha scheme given its ease of construction and user friendliness. However, the next generation of hackers and programmers has decreased the expected security of these mechanisms, leaving websites open to attack. Text Captchas are still widely used, because it is believed that the attack speeds are slow, typically two to five seconds per image, and this is not seen as a critical threat. In this paper, we introduce a simple, generic, and fast attack on text Captchas that effectively challenges that supposition. With deep learning techniques, our attack demonstrates a high success rate in breaking the Roman-character-based text Captchas deployed by the top 50 most popular international websites and three Chinese Captchas that use a larger character set. These targeted schemes cover almost all existing resistance mechanisms, demonstrating that our attack techniques are also applicable to other existing Captchas. Does this work then spell the beginning of the end for text-based Captcha? We believe so. A novel image-based Captcha named Style Area Captcha (SACaptcha) is proposed in this paper, which is based on semantic information understanding, pixel-level segmentation, and deep learning techniques. Having demonstrated that text Captchas are no longer secure, we hope that our proposal shows promise in the development of image-based Captchas using deep learning techniques.

Republic of Yemen - Restoring and expanding energy access : power sector reengagement note - Huenteler, Joern Thorsten; Khanna, Ashish; Badiei, Sara; Matsuo, Tyeler Marissa; Maier, Elisabeth; Fernstrom, Erik Magnus (The World Bank, 2017)
Already before the conflict, much of Yemen’s population was deprived of basicelectricity services. Even before the conflict, Yemen was considered the least electrifiedcountry in the MENA region, with a pre-crisis access rate from all sources of only 55percent. The country’s per capita electricity consumption stood at 243 kWh in 2013,almost one-sixth of the regional average (The World Bank Group, 2016). There had been little progress in the electricity sector over the last decade. The sectormade little progress on improving operational efficiency and quality of service or inreducing high electricity losses, while costing the country over 10 percent of its GDPannually through direct and indirect subsidies (The World Bank, 2013). The ongoing conflict has significantly worsened the electricity supply situation from an already low level, with severe impact on health, education, water and sanitation, and the private sector, which all rely heavily on a functioning power supply.The top-down model of service delivery has been replaced by a combination of locally managed urban public services and a private-sector driven bottom-up model. The poor have limited access to solar so far, and there are concerns about the qualityof the installed technology.Because the limited functionality of the energy sector has severe consequences for other sectors and the overall Yemeni economy, restoring electricity supply will be a priority for any in-conflict or post-conflict engagement.A recent review of the World Bank’s interventions over the last 15 years in the energy sector concluded that alternative models for procurement and/or project implementation may be needed for in-conflict or post-conflict interventions.New, project-specific public sector institutions created for the purpose ofinfrastructure development were no panacea.Distributed infrastructure investments, while also not as successful as anticipated, tended to work better.The proposed priorities represent sequential steps the electricity system is re-built from the bottom up, both technically and institutionally.The proposed priorities and sequencing are underpinned by a vision for Yemen’spower sector that involves a stronger role for the private sector and moredecentralized service provision.

Report Cards: The Impact of Providing School and Child Test Scores on Educational Markets - Andrabi, Tahir; Das, Jishnu; Khwaja, Asim Ijaz (American Economic Review, 2017)
We study the impact of providing school report cards with test scores on subsequent test scores, prices, and enrollment in markets with multiple public and private providers. A randomly selected half of our sample villages (markets) received report cards. This increased test scores by 0.11 standard deviations, decreased private school fees by 17 percent, and increased primary enrollment by 4.5 percent. Heterogeneity in the treatment impact by initial school test scores is consistent with canonical models of asymmetric information. Information provision facilitates better comparisons across providers, and improves market efficiency and child welfare through higher test scores, higher enrollment, and lower fees.

Relationship between Teacher - Educator Characteristics and the Integration of Information and Communication Technologies in Teaching and Learning in Teacher Education Institutions in Kenya - Chemwei, B.; Kiboss, J.; Njag, Kageni (undefined, 2016)
It is a government policy that all institutions of learning in Kenya, across the curricula embrace Information Communication Technology (ICT) as the world moves towards knowledge based economy. The evidence in literature reveals positive effects of information and communication technology in instruction. But teachers have a challenging task in integrating the tools of ICT in teaching especially those teacher educators not quite exposed to technology. This is because so many factors influence ICT integration. In this paper, we explore the the relationship between teacher-educators’ age, gender, level of education, and teaching experience and the integration level of ICTs in teaching in primary teacher training colleges in Kenya. The simple random sampling technique was used to select six teacher training colleges in Kenya and 169 respondents who participated in the study. Data was collected using a questionnaire, an interview schedule and an observation schedule. The data collected was analyzed descriptively with the help of SPSS program version 17.0 for frequencies, means, standard deviation and percentages. The inferential statistics used to determine relationships among variables was the Pearson moment Correlation. Regression analysis was used to determine the best predictors of ICT integration among the independent variables. A p-value of less than 0.05 was interpreted as significant. Results indicated that there is a significant relationship between teacher-educators’ level of ICT integration in teaching and their age. However, the findings showed no relationships between teacher educators’ level of ICT integration in teaching and gender as well as their level of education. Teacher-educators’ years of teaching are insignificant in explaining teachereducators’ integration ICT in teaching. Based on the findings, we recommended that information and communication integration be made part of undergraduate training in universities in order to equip future teacher educators with ICT skills; planning for the implementation of ICT integration into teaching in teachers’ training programmes early would increase the pre-service teachers’ expertise and lead to an increase in the level of ICT integration during the earlier years of their careers. There is also need to hire young teacher-educators to the field, especially female teachers. This would also increase the representation of the female perspective toward the improvement of the level of ICT integration into teaching.

Reimagining accountability in K–12 education - Gill, Brian P.; Lerner, Jennifer S.; Meosky, Paul (Behavioral Science & Policy, 2016)
Since the passage of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) in 2002, American policymakers have relied primarily on outcome-based accountability in the form of high-stakes testing to improve public school performance. With NCLB supplanted in 2015 by the Every Student Succeeds Act—which gives states far greater discretion in the design of accountability systems—the time is ripe for policymakers to consider extensive behavioral science literature that shows outcome-based accountability is only one of multiple forms of accountability, each invoking distinct motivational mechanisms. We review rule-based, market-based, and professional accountability alongside outcome-based accountability, using evidence from the laboratory and the field to describe how each can produce favorable or unfavorable effects. We conclude that policymakers should (a) make greater use of professional accountability, which has historically been underutilized in education; (b) use transparency to promote professional accountability; and (c) use multiple, complementary forms of accountability, creating a complete system that encourages and supports the continuous improvement of educational practice.

Reforming teacher education in Nigeria: Laying a foundation for the future - Barnes, Adrienne E.; Boyle, Helen; Zuilkowski, Stephanie Simmons; Bello, Zaliha Nasiruddeen (Teaching and Teacher Education, 2019)
Teacher educators in Nigeria receive limited professional development, particularly regarding the instruction of early grade reading skills. As part of the USAID-funded Northern Education Initiative Plus project, Florida State University faculty provided intensive teacher educator professional development to staff at four Teacher Education Institutions in northern Nigeria. Positive impacts on teacher educator knowledge, skills, and attitudes were observed related to content and pedagogical knowledge, use of participatory teaching and learning activities in the college classrooms, and improvement in student teacher engagement and learning. Continued success of the implemented model for training will be dependent upon national adoption and scale up.

Reflective teacher supervision through videos of classroom teaching (supervisión colaborativa docente a través de clases grabadas en video) - Kaneko-Marques, Sandra Mari (PROFILE: Issues in Teachers' Professional Development, 2015)
The main objective of this paper is to briefly present roles of different teacher supervisors according to distinct models, highlighting the importance of collaborative dialogues supported by video recordings. This paper will present results from a qualitative study of an English as a foreign language teacher education course in Brazil. The results indicated that collaborative supervision was an efficient tool to address adversities within educational contexts and that student teachers who observed their pedagogical actions through videos became more reflective and self-evaluative, as they provided a deeper analysis regarding their practice. With collaborative supervision, teacher candidates can be encouraged to recognize and understand the complexities of language learning and teaching both locally and globally.

Reexamining technology’s role in learner-centered professional development - Polly, Drew; Hannafin, Michael J. (Educational Technology Research and Development, 2010)
The American Psychological Association’s Learner-Centered Principles provide empirically-based approaches to improving teaching and learning. However, in order to facilitate learner-centered, technology-rich instruction to K-12 students, teachers must be afforded opportunities to develop key understandings and skills, rarely evident in most professional development programs. In this paper, we synthesize empirically-based studies and recommendations for teacher learning and propose a learner-centered professional development (LCPD) framework to guide both professional development and empirical work on teacher learning. We describe LCPD components, discuss ways that technology can support LCPD, and highlight implications for research and practice.

Redesigning local games to stimulate pupils’ interest in learning numeracy in Tanzania - Godfrey, Zitto; Mtebe, Joel (International Journal of Education and Development Using Information and Communication Technology, 2018)
The lack of interest and negative attitude in learning mathematics have been described as one of the causes for the continue poor performance of the subject in primary schools and beyond in Tanzania. Despite several government’s efforts to improve pass rate of mathematics, the use of digital games has not been well adopted. This study redesigned local games played by Tanzanian children all over the country into digital games for the aim of stimulating interest of pupils in learning numeracy skills. Three games: Ruka Kamba, Manati, and Kombolela were developed using eXtreme Programming practices and elements of game design for learning proposed by Plass et al. (2015). The developed games were piloted at Mlimani primary school with 111 pupils using direct observation and questionnaire, and 12 teachers using focus group interviews. The study found that the majority of children indicated that developed games are enjoyable, fun, and easy to play. Nonetheless, some few usability problems were identified during observation and are discussed. Similarly, teachers indicated that the developed games were pedagogical effective having content and skills necessary for improving numeracy skills both for self-learning and in the classroom. This study has demonstrated that local games can be redesigned into digital form and be used for stimulating interest of pupils in learning numeracy skills in developing countries.

Recruitment and Retention of Public Sector Teachers in Ghana: A Discrete Choice Experiment - Gad, B. K. (University of Ghana, 2015)
The shortage of public sector teachers in rural areas is one of the main challenges facing policy makers in the education sector, in both developing and developed countries. This study sought to analyze the preferences of teachers, and how they would respond to alternative incentives associated with working in a rural location. Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) which is rooted in Random Utility Theory (RUT) was used to capture the responses of 120 teacher trainees in Berekum College of Education. However, the full and the subgroup models were generated using the binary probit in STATA (Version 11.0). Marginal effect was also estimated. The magnitude of estimates from both the probit model and the marginal effects indicate that, for rural area posting, teachers in the public sector generally prefer and place higher priority on incentive packages such as granting of study leave with pay, provision of housing and promotion after three years of work. This was generally supported by the subgroup analysis. Also, the levels of salary will be traded off for non-financial incentive packages. It is recommended that in order to desist from force recruitment and the problem of mitigating geographical imbalances of public sector teachers, policy makers in the education sector should adopt a strategy by granting of study leave with pay, provision of housing and promotion after three years of teaching in rural areas

Reciprocity among Farmers in Farming System Research: Application of Social Network Analysis - Jana, Rabindranath; Bandyopadhyay, Suraj; Choudhuri, Anil K. (Journal of Human Ecology, 2013)
In course of agricultural activities, farmers interact among themselves to fulfill different kinds of needs, such as getting advice regarding cultivation, obtaining appropriate seeds and plants, getting tools and implements, etc. On the basis of data to whom a farmer sends requests for such help and whether the farmer receives the required help, one can build a social network of help, whether simple or weighted, in agricultural production. The paper intends to study variation in measures of reciprocity among the farmers of the two villages in respect of different activities for agricultural production. For the study, two villages Madhya-Uttar and Astabari consisting of 88 and 79 households respectively were selected from unirrigated, rainfed area in the south-eastern region of the district of East Medinipur of West Bengal. To collect the required data, open-ended check lists were employed. A standardized graph theoretic measure (s3-measure) of reciprocity was applied to carry out social network analysis. In both the villages, values of reciprocity measures for seeds/plants and tools/implements exchange were more than that for advice giving; the measure for the network of agricultural activities as a whole was also greater than the network for social aspects. In case of all networks, values of s3-measure for the village Madhya-Uttar were much higher than Astabari. It indicates that the farming households of a network having greater value of s3-measure are more inter-dependent among themselves in agricultural production.

Reaching the Unreached Through Open and Distance Learning (ODL) in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan - Ferreira, Frances (Commonwealth of Learning (COL), 2017)
GIRLS Inspire is a Commonwealth of Learning (COL) project established to mobilise the power of open and distance learning (ODL) to provide secondary schooling and skills development training to women and girls who are prevented from attending schools by barriers such as early marriage, cultural norms and distance from schools. This final report to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) Australia reflects on the work that has taken place since January 2016. It is framed around the project’s objectives and provides a rich account of activities that took place, presented in both quantitative and qualitative forms.

Randomizing Development: Method or Madness? - Pritchett, Lant (2019)
An important argument for the increased use of randomized control trial methods in development is that the evidence from these studies will encourage the uptake of effective programs and projects (both through discouraging ineffective projects and improving design of new projects) and this will lead to reduced poverty and improved human well-being. However, cross-national evidence shows that the four-fold transformation of national development, to higher productivity economies, to more responsive states, the more capable organizations and administration and to more equal social treatment produces gains in poverty and human well-being that are orders of magnitude bigger than the best that can be hoped from better programs. Arguments that RCT research is a good (much less “best”) investment depend on both believing in an implausibly low likelihood that non-RCT research can improve progress national development and believing in an implausibly large likelihood that RCT evidence improves outcomes.

Randomized Trial of Tablet Computers for Education and Learning in Children and Young People with Low Vision - Gothwal, Vijaya K.; Thomas, Rachel; Crossland, Michael; Bharani, Seelam; Sharma, Sujata; Unwin, Hilary; Xing, Wen; Khabra, Komel; Dahlmann-Noor, Annegret (Optometry and Vision Science, 2018)
SIGNIFICANCE Mobile devices such as tablet computers have become widely available as mainstream devices and are also used in some schools, but there is an absence of robust information regarding the efficacy of any optical/electronic low vision device or tablet computer in supporting education of young people with low vision. PURPOSE A randomized controlled trial (RCT) is needed to measure the impact of tablet computers on education, specifically on independent access to educational material, in children and young people with low vision. We conducted a pilot RCT to determine the feasibility of conducting a full-scale trial. METHODS This was a randomized multicenter pilot trial across two sites in the United Kingdom and one site in India. Forty children and young people aged 10 to 18 years with low vision (best-corrected visual acuity for distance between <20/60 [0.48 logMAR] and 20/400 [1.30 logMAR] in the better eye) in the United Kingdom (n = 20) and India (n = 20) were randomized to two parallel arms, with a 1:1 allocation ratio, to control (n = 20) or intervention (n = 20). Control group participants received standard low vision care. The intervention group received a tablet computer (iPad) with low vision applications and instruction in its use, including accessibility features. Four primary outcomes included (1) 6-month recruitment rate, (2) retention of participants for 3 months, (3) acceptance/usage of device, and (4) accessibility of device. RESULTS Nineteen participants (95%) enrolled within 6 months in the United Kingdom, and 20 participants (100%), in India. Retention at 3 months was 85% (n = 17) in the United Kingdom and 95% (n = 19) in India. More than one half of participants reported using a tablet computer at school at least once every day. The majority (90%) found it easily accessible. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that it is feasible to recruit children and young people with low vision into an international multicenter RCT of electronic assistive technology. Regardless of geographical location, children and young people with low vision reported using tablet computers at least once a day at school and accessed them easily.

Quantitizing Affective Data as Project Evaluation on the Use of a Mathematics Mobile Game and Intelligent Tutoring System - Nygren, Eeva; Blignaut, Seugnet; Leendertz, Verona; Sutinen, Erkki (Informatics in Education, 2019)
Technology-enhanced learning generally focuses on the cognitive rather than the affective domain of learning. This multi-method evaluation of the INBECOM project (Integrating Behaviourism and Constructivism in Mathematics) was conducted from the point of view of affective learning levels of Krathwohl et al. (1964). The research questions of the study were: (i) to explore the affective learning experiences of the three groups of participants (researchers, teachers and students) during the use of a mobile game UFractions and an intelligent tutoring system ActiveMath to enhance the learning of fractions in mathematics; and (ii) to determine the significance of the relationships among the affective learning experiences of the three groups of participants (researchers, teachers and students) in the INBECOM project. This research followed a sequential, equal status, multi-mode research design and methodology where the qualitative data were derived from the interviews with researchers, teachers and students, as well as from learning diaries, feelings blogs, and observations (311 documents) across three contexts (South Africa, Finland, and Mozambique). The qualitative data was quantitized (Saldaña, 2009), i.e. analysed deductively in an objective and quantifiable way as instances on an ExcelT spreadsheet for statistical analyses. All the data was explored from the affective perspective by labelling the feelings participants experienced according to the affective levels of the Krathwohl et al. (1964) framework. The researchers concluded that: (i) the research participants not only received information, but actively participated in the learning process; responded to what they learned; associated value to their acquired knowledge; organised their values; elaborated on their learning; built abstract knowledge; and adopted a belief system and a personal worldview; and (ii) affirmation of affective learning at all five levels was recognised among the three groups of participants. The study raised a number of issues which could be addressed in future, like how affective levels of learning are intertwined with cognitive levels of learning while learning mathematics in a technology-enhanced learning environment; and how pedagogical models which take into account both cognitive and affective aspects of learning support deep learning.

Quantitative Determination of the Relationship between Internal Validity and Bias in Software Engineering Experiments: Consequences for Systematic Literature Reviews - Dieste, Oscar; Grim´n, Anna; Juristo, Natalia; Saxena, Himanshu (2011 International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement, 2011)
Quality assessment is one of the activities performed as part of systematic literature reviews. It is commonly accepted that a good quality experiment is bias free. Bias is considered to be related to internal validity (e.g., how adequately the experiment is planned, executed and analysed). Quality assessment is usually conducted using checklists and quality scales. It has not yet been proven, however, that quality is related to experimental bias. Aim: Identify whether there is a relationship between internal validity and bias in software engineering experiments. Method: We built a quality scale to determine the quality of the studies, which we applied to 28 experiments included in two systematic literature reviews. We proposed an objective indicator of experimental bias, which we applied to the same 28 experiments. Finally, we analysed the correlations between the quality scores and the proposed measure of bias. Results: We failed to find a relationship between the global quality score (resulting from the quality scale) and bias, however, we did identify interesting correlations between bias and some particular aspects of internal validity measured by the instrument. Conclusions: There is an empirically provable relationship between internal validity and bias. It is feasible to apply quality assessment in systematic literature reviews, subject to limits on the internal validity aspects for consideration.

Qualitative Inquiry and Research Design: Choosing Among Five Approaches - Creswell, John W. (2013)
Civil rights rhetoric has been central to the debate over U.S. immigration policy since at least the 1960s. A coalition of interest groups, including churches, ethnic organizations, civil rights groups, and employer associations has played a fundamental role in advancing civil rights norms in the immigration arena. The growing importance of civil rights rhetoric in the debate over U.S. immigration policy, DeLaet asserts, helps to explain the liberalization of U.S. immigration policy in spite of growing evidence that the public opposition to immigration has grown during the same period. In turn, the liberalization of U.S. immigration policy has contributed to rising numbers of both legal and illegal immigrants. Thus, high levels of immigration reflect the basic provisions of current U.S. immigration policy, rather than a loss of governmental control. Many analysts have suggested that the immigration policy reforms passed by Congress in 1996 marked the beginning of a new era of restrictionism. However, as DeLaet illustrates, the new restrictions adopted in 1996 contain many of the same loopholes as previous legislation, indicating the coalition of interest groups supporting immigration still pose a significant obstacle to efforts to restrict immigration.

Putting Education in “Educational” Apps: Lessons From the Science of Learning - Hirsh-Pasek, Kathy; Zosh, Jennifer M.; Golinkoff, Roberta Michnick; Gray, James H.; Robb, Michael B.; Kaufman, Jordy (Psychological Science in the Public Interest, 2015)
Children are in the midst of a vast, unplanned experiment, surrounded by digital technologies that were not available but 5 years ago. At the apex of this boom is the introduction of applications (?apps?) for tablets and smartphones. However, there is simply not the time, money, or resources available to evaluate each app as it enters the market. Thus, ?educational? apps?the number of which, as of January 2015, stood at 80,000 in Apple?s App Store (Apple, 2015)?are largely unregulated and untested. This article offers a way to define the potential educational impact of current and future apps. We build upon decades of work on the Science of Learning, which has examined how children learn best. From this work, we abstract a set of principles for two ultimate goals. First, we aim to guide researchers, educators, and designers in evidence-based app development. Second, by creating an evidence-based guide, we hope to set a new standard for evaluating and selecting the most effective existing children?s apps. In short, we will show how the design and use of educational apps aligns with known processes of children?s learning and development and offer a framework that can be used by parents and designers alike. Apps designed to promote active, engaged, meaningful, and socially interactive learning?four ?pillars? of learning?within the context of a supported learning goal are considered educational.
