Designing for Scale: Reflections on Rolling Out Reading Improvement in Kenya and Liberia - Gove, Amber; Poole, Medina Korda; Piper, Benjamin (New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2017)
Since 2008, the Ministries of Education in Liberia and Kenya have undertaken transitions from small-scale pilot programs to improve reading outcomes among primary learners to the large-scale implementation of reading interventions. The effects of the pilots on learning outcomes were significant, but questions remained regarding whether such large gains could be sustained at scale. In this article, the authors dissect the Liberian and Kenyan experiences with implementing large-scale reading programs, documenting the critical components and conditions of the program designs that affected the likelihood of successfully transitioning from pilot to scale. They also review the design, deployment, and effectiveness of each pilot program and the scale, design, duration, enabling conditions, and initial effectiveness results of the scaled programs in each country. The implications of these results for the design of both pilot and large-scale reading programs are discussed in light of the experiences of both the Liberian and Kenyan programs.

Assessing the Impact of Early Learning Programs in Africa - Gove, Amber; Brunette, Tracy; Bulat, Jennae; Carrol, Bidemi; Henny, Catherine; Macon, Wykia; Nderu, Evangeline; Sitabkhan, Yasmin (New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2017)
We present results from early learning programs in six African countries: Ethiopia, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Tanzania, and Uganda. In partnership with ministries of education, RTI International has worked within government systems to support the design and deployment of locally contextualized materials, training, and assessment tools, with the goal of improving outcomes for early learners in primary schools, and in Kenya and Tanzania preprimary as well. Here we report on the experience and evidence of impact from specific programs in each country, including summary assessment results when available. In several countries with completed impact evaluations, there are significant and important learning gains of between 0.2 and 2.57 SD in effect size; in one case the percentage of students reaching grade‐level reading proficiency increased from 12% to 47%. In the context of increased urgency surrounding what UNESCO has called a “global learning crisis,” these experiences provide useful lessons for policymakers and practitioners alike.

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.

Dialogue: A theoretical framework for distance education instructional systems - Gorsky, Paul; Caspi, Avner (British Journal of Educational Technology, 2005)
This paper presents a theoretical framework for viewing elements that comprise distance education instructional systems in terms of dialogue. It is assumed that learning is mediated by intrapersonal dialogue and facilitated by interpersonal dialogue. Every resource in a distance education instructional system (eg, instructor availability, asynchronous communication networks, self-instruction texts, etc) is analysed in terms of the dialogue mode it supports. The framework offers three advantages: (1) a unified, simple, and coherent description of the mechanisms at play in distance education systems, (2) clear-cut operational definitions, and (3) hypotheses that may be investigated empirically.

A COVID-19 intervention: Using digital escape rooms to provide professional development to alternative certification educators - Gómez, Miguel (Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 2020)
Teachers, support staff, schools, and school districts have faced a multitude of challenges in adapting their known and familiar practices to the new realities and restrictions that have been put in place due to the outbreak of COVID-19. These challenges are daunting and difficult for many in our education system. Fortunately, a numerous amount of our educators are resilient, creative, and determined to overcome these new challenges. Using their prior experiences and wis- dom, these educators can adapt and change to our new edu- cational environment. However, one group of educators have faced these challenges without the benefit of educational ex- periences. Alternative certification teachers, in just their first year of teaching, with no prior educational experience, have been thrust into this new post COVID-19 landscape. Using a digital escape room as a model, the author provided these inexperienced educators with professional development in problem-based learning designed to help these teachers navi- gate this new educational landscape.

A Design Approach to Mathematics Teacher Educator Development in East Africa - Golding, Jennie; Batiibwe, Marjorie Sarah K. (Journal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education, 2021)
Mathematical functioning in sub-Saharan Africa remains persistently weak in global terms. This limits the flourishing of young people and communities in the region. Moreover, affordable, effective ways to address the issue are not well established. This paper analyses outcomes from a blended learning 'Mathematical Thinking and IT' course, iteratively adapted for East African primary mathematics teacher educators. The course adopted theoretical approaches derived from the mathematics, teacher and technology education literatures. It aimed to address the problem of low mathematical functioning by equipping participants for their own work, and also for supporting local collaborative teacher development workshops. The reported study asked, 'What are the affordances and constraints of the adapted course and the available technology for mathematics teacher educator development in this context?' A variety of qualitative tools were used to track the course's impact on the ten mathematics teacher educator participants over six months, as they attempted to transfer course learning to their home professional context. The analysis adopted an ethnographic lens. Outcomes suggested participants with a broad mathematical and pedagogical capacity for change, including critical levels of reflection, made significant progress in their technological, mathematical and mathematics pedagogical expertise. However, teacher educators without such a threshold capacity appeared not able to re-envision practice. Free subject-specific software was appreciated by all participants, but not yet reliably accessible in these teacher educators' institutional contexts. The reported study evidences the potential for affordable, sustainable, development of many mathematics teacher educators in this context, but further research is needed. Similar courses should take account of local technological and education constraints.

A Cascade Teacher Training Model in Disaster Education: A Case of Turkey - Gökmenoğlu, Tuba; Sönmez, Elif Daşçı; Yavuz, İbrahim (2021)
Individuals' reluctance to take precautions before the disasters happen is one of the most critical concerns of the disaster management area. The disaster education given through schools is a critical process in addressing this problem. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the teacher training program model and the implementation practices of Turkey's School-Based Disaster Education Project. In Turkey, there are few studies regarding the planning, development, implementation, and evaluation stages of Disaster Risk Reduction education for teachers. The project has been carried out within the framework of the Ministry of National Education and Japan International Cooperation Agency. An at-scale cascade teacher professional development model was implemented. The model reached 135,375 teachers in 67 provinces by the 567 trainer teachers in a relatively short time with the cascade training system. This project has brought a significant nationwide disaster risk reduction training experience for Turkey with its economic and sustainable structure.

The Effectiveness and Usability of the Educational Software on Concept Education for Young Children with Impaired Hearing - Goker, Hanife; Ozaydin, Latife; Tekedere, Hakan (EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2016)
Early intervention and early education have a special place in educating the children with Impaired Hearing (IH). The advancements in information and communication technologies have led to adopting the view that such technologies could be applied in the educational process of the children with IH. Besides, the positive results acquired in the studies conducted in the light of this review have brought up the fact that proper technology-based educational environments should be provided and popularized for the young children with IH. In this study, educational software has been developed for the purpose of teaching emotions and opposite concepts to young children with IH. With this software, videos with topic descriptions, games reinforcing funny and topic-based learning, questions and audio-visual feedbacks have been used. The effectiveness of this software in concept education along with its usability by children has been examined; and in addition, the subjective viewpoints of the teachers of students with IH on this software have been consulted as well.

Examining the impact of instructional technology and material design courses on technopedagogical education competency acquisition according to different variables - Gokdas, Ibrahim; Torun, Fulya (Kuram ve Uygulamada Egitim Bilimleri, 2017)
The need to integrate technology into education has made necessary a thorough examination of teachers’ technopedagogical competencies. While training preservice teachers, it is of particular importance that they acquire technopedagogical education competences during their preservice education. Practical and theoretical course content and Instructional Technology and Material Design (ITMD) courses are thought to be essential for preservice teachers’ technopedagogical education competency acquisition. However, the role of ITMD courses in preservice teachers’ technopedagogical education competency acquisition has remained obscure in the literature. As such, the study aims to describe the effect that ITMD courses have on technopedagogical education competency acquisition. The research was conducted with a total of 186 preservice teachers studying in the departments of classroom teaching and preschool teaching in a Faculty of Education in Turkey. The research data were gathered using the Technopedagogical Education Competency Scale (TPACK-deep), developed by Kabakci Yurdakul, Odabasi, Kilicer, Coklar, Birinci, and Kurt. This five-point Likert type scale consists of a total of four factors, i.e. design, proficiency, ethics, and exertion. The internal reliability coefficient of the 33-item scale was .95. The scale was applied by faculty members in-line with the course description designated by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) as a pre- and post-test at the beginning and end of the semester that the course was given. A paired samples t-test and CHAID (Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detection) analysis were incorporatedly employed to analyze the data. The research showed that ITMD courses influenced preservice teachers’ acquisition of technopedagogical education competencies. The following were observed to be critical predictor variables in technopedagogical education competency acquisition: having received computer training prior to taking the ITMD courses and the average time one spends using a computer per day.

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.

The effects of TV on speech education - Gocen, Gokcen; Okur, Alpaslan (Educational Research and Reviews, 2013)
Generally, the speaking aspect is not properly debated when discussing the positive and negative effects of television (TV), especially on children. So, to highlight this point, this study was first initialized by asking the question: "What are the effects of TV on speech?" and secondly, to transform the effects that TV has on speech in a utilizable manner, "How can we utilize TV in speech education?". The required data were collected through a survey with the middle school students involved in the sample. Students who argued that TV "does not" corrupt their speech are in the opinion that they imitate how people speak on TV and think that figures they see on TV actually speak well, teaching them how to speak well also, and that TV expands their vocabulary, helping them to express themselves more easily. According to this result, "TV language" should set an example for that matter. (Contains 7 tables.)

Optical Needs of Students with Low Vision in Integrated Schools of Nepal - Gnyawali, Subodh; Shrestha, Jyoti Baba; Bhattarai, Dipesh; Upadhyay, Madan (Optometry and Vision Science, 2012)
Purpose To identify the optical needs of students with low vision studying in the integrated schools for the blind in Nepal. Methods A total of 779 blind and vision-impaired students studying in 67 integrated schools for the blind across Nepal were examined using the World Health Organization/Prevention of Blindness Eye Examination Record for Children with Blindness and Low Vision. Glasses and low-vision devices were provided to the students with low vision who showed improvement in visual acuity up to a level that was considered sufficient for classroom learning. Follow-up on the use and maintenance of device provided was done after a year. Results Almost 78% of students studying in the integrated schools for the blind were not actually blind; they had low vision. Five students were found to be wrongly enrolled. Avoidable causes of blindness were responsible for 41% of all blindness. Among 224 students who had visual acuity 1/60 or better, distance vision could be improved in 18.7% whereas near vision could be improved in 41.1% students. Optical intervention provided improved vision in 48.2% of students who were learning braille. Only 34.8% students were found to be using the devices regularly after assessment 1 year later; the most common causes for nonuse were damage or misplacement of the device. Conclusions A high proportion of students with low vision in integrated schools could benefit from optical intervention. A system of comprehensive eye examination at the time of school enrollment would allow students with low vision to use their available vision to the fullest, encourage print reading over braille, ensure appropriate placement, and promote timely adoption and proper usage of optical device.

Influence of mobile learning training on pre-service social studies teachers' technology and mobile phone self-efficacies - Gloria, Adedoja; Oluwadara, Abimbade (Journal of Education and Practice, 2016)
Current instructional deliveries favour the use of mobile technology because of its inherent potentials and benefits such as portability, ease of use cost and others. Despite these benefits, many teachers especially in Sub-Saharan Africa still prefer the conventional method and use mobile phones for social engagements such as texting, chatting, callings and others. Though, these teachers use mobile phones for these social activities, using it for instruction is somewhat problematic for them without adequate training on its pedagogical implications. This is also because there are dearth of trainings in this area. Some factors that could however affect this type of specialised training include Technology Self-efficacy, Mobile Phone Self-efficacy, attitude, age and others. The sample of this present study was 101 pre-service social studies teachers in two Universities in Nigeria. The influence of the Mobile learning training on Technology/Mobile Phone Self-efficacies was explored. The results indicated that the pre-service social studies teachers have high Technology/Mobile Phone Self-efficacies after exposure to the training.

Many Children Left Behind? Textbooks and Test Scores in Kenya - Glewwe, Paul; Kremer, Michael; Moulin, Sylvie (American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, 2009)
A randomized evaluation in rural Kenya finds, contrary to the previous literature, that providing textbooks did not raise average test scores. Textbooks did increase the scores of the best students (those with high pretest scores) but had little effect on other students. Textbooks are written in English, most students' third language, and many students could not use them effectively. More generally, the curriculum in Kenya, and in many other developing countries, tends to be oriented toward academically strong students, leaving many students behind in societies that combine a centralized educational system; the heterogeneity in student preparation associated with rapid educational expansion; and disproportionate elite power.

School resources and educational outcomes in developing countries: A review of the literature from 1990 to 2010. - Glewwe, Paul; Hanuschek, Eric A.; Humpage, Sarah; Ravina, Renato (2013)

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.

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.

Evaluation of the application of mobile phone technology in teaching and learning: A case study of Kamwenja Teacher' college, Nyeri County, Kenya. - Gitome, Mwangi Joseph (Mount Kenya University, 2015)
This research was designed to investigate the application of mobile phone technology in teaching and learning among tutors and students of Kamwenja Teachers College in Nyeri County in Kenya. The problem this study addressed was to establish whether mobile phones in the hands of students and tutors were beneficial for teaching and learning or if they impede learning process in Teacher Training Colleges in Kenya. The variables under consideration were: quality teaching and learning as dependent variable and owning mobile phones, awareness of educational potential of mobile phones, acceptance of mobile phones, and mobile phones influence as alternative learning and instructional methods as independent variables. The data was collected from 71 tutors and 498 students. The sample size was worked out at 20% to be 15 tutors and 100 second year teacher trainees in the college. Stratified random sampling was used to ensure the sample was a true representation of the whole population. Data was collected through questionnaires that were both quantitative and qualitative to ensure high quality of information for the study where 98.2% response rate was achieved. To ensure Validity and Reliability of Research Instruments a pre-test of the questionnaire was conducted on tutors and students of Kagumo Teachers College. A reliability coefficient of 0.7 was adopted for the items while an expert, the supervisor, guided in validity of the items. The study was guided by the activity theory also known as Cultural Historical Activity Theory. Primary data was analysed with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 20) software to generate descriptive statistics, correlation and multiple regression analysis. The findings of the study revealed that ownership of mobile phone had a positive and significant effect on application of mobile phone technology in teaching and learning when considered singly and even when regressed together with other factors. Further, the study revealed that awareness of the educational potential of mobile phone technology, acceptance of mobile phone technology and mobile phone technology as an alternative learning and instructional methods were found to have a positive and significant effect on application of mobile phone technology in teaching and learning when considered singly, however when all the factors were regressed together they were found to have a positive and but insignificant effect on application of mobile phone technology in teaching and learning. In order to enhance use of mobile phone technology in teaching and learning students and teachers should be encouraged to acquire mobile phones with internet connectivity features. The general usage of mobile phone in teachers training colleges was found to be very high. However the rate at which mobile phones are used for exchanging learning information is low. The researcher recommends that policies be put in place on use of mobile phone technology in teaching and learning and train tutors on how to teach differently using mobile phone technology. Future researchers should try to establish hindrances of application of mobile phone technology in teaching and learning.

The challenges of online learning: supporting and engaging the isolated learner - Gillett-Swan, Jenna (Journal of Learning Design, 2017)
Higher education providers are becoming increasingly aware of the diversity of their current and potential learners and are moving to provide a range of options for their engagement. The increasingly flexible delivery modes available for university students provide multiple pathways and opportunities for those seeking further education. In changing between and across modes, a one-size-fits-all approach is often used. That is, internal content is converted into a form deemed suitable for an external delivery. However, there is a significant problem with the one-size-fits-all approach for external students who feel or experience isolation. When compared to their internal counterparts, these students often face a number of barriers to their full participation in coursework units. These barriers may not be experienced by those engaging in these same units via face-to-face or blended enrolment modes and therefore present another type of learner to consider in the planning and implementation of learning activities online. The barriers to participation appear particularly evident in groupwork activities. The online environment also presents challenges for many academic staff who increasingly require higher levels of technological competency and proficiency on top of their regular academic workload. Drawing on reflections of several years of facilitating student learning online, this paper provides one lecturer’s perspective and critical commentary on some of the challenges faced by external students and the implications of an increasingly online delivery framework for practice.

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.

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

Ghana Multiple Indicator Cluster Survery 2017/2018 - Ghana Statistical Survey & UNICEF (Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys, 2018)
The Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey Six (MICS 6) was conducted in 2017/18 by Ghana Statistical Service in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Sanitation and Water Resources, Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Ghana Health Service and the Ghana Education Service as part of the Global MICS Programme. Technical support was provided by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), with government funding and financial support of UNICEF, KOICA, UNDP, USAID and the World Bank through the Statistics for Results Facility – Catalytic Fund (SRF-CF). The Global MICS Programme was developed by UNICEF in the 1990s as an international multi-purpose household survey programme to support countries in collecting internationally comparable data on a wide range of indicators on the situation of children and women. MICS surveys measure key indicators that allow countries to generate data for use in policies, programmes, and national development plans, and to monitor progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and other internationally agreed upon commitments.

Teachers’ virtual communities of practice: A strong response in times of crisis or just another Fad? - Ghamrawi, Norma (Education and Information Technologies, 2022)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceived effectiveness of a virtual community of practice (vCoP) designed to support knowledge and expertise sharing between K-12 teachers during Covid-19 pandemic. Besides, it aimed at exploring the potential of such vCoPs in delivering effective professional development, in general, and during crisis in particular. The vCoP was developed by the researcher herself as part of a consultancy to the UNESCO. The sample included 696 participants who were members of the vCoP. The research methodology adopted was mixed methods. Quantitative data was collected through surveying; and qualitative data was collected through 8 focus group interviews each involving 6 participants. Statistical analysis was used to analyze survey data, while interviews data was analyzed using theme-based analysis. Findings showed that participants viewed vCoPs as effective tools for e-professional development in general and during crisis in particular. Facilitators and blockers confronting vCoP nourishment are presented and discussed. Discussions and conclusions are offered at the end of the study.

Professionalizing in- service teachers’ focus on technological pedagogical and content knowledge - Getenet, Seyum Tekeher; Beswick, Kim; Callingham, Rosemary (Education and Information Technologies, 2016)
In Ethiopia, primary school teachers of science and mathematics are encouraged to integrate Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into their teaching as a means to improve the quality of education. However, there has not been the same emphasis placed on providing professional learning opportunities for teachers on how to use ICT in their teaching. The present study investigated how a group of practising primary school science and mathematics teachers developed the skills needed to integrate ICT into their teaching. The study employed a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods within an action research approach. The teachers took part in activities from a Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) based professional learning workshop, including designing lessons, classroom instruction, and reflection activities in teams. A lesson evaluation sheet, questionnaire, observation checklist, and logbook were used to gather data. The results showed that the teachers acquired an improved competency to integrate available ICT into their teaching through the intervention activities.

Using design-based research to bring partnership between researchers and practitioners - Getenet, Seyum (Educational Research, 2019)
Background: A key aim of educational research is for findings to inform practice, thereby bringing about improvements in teaching and learning. However, the relationship between research and practice is complex, and there is often no clear link between changes in practice and research findings. One of the challenges for research and practice is breaking down barriers and finding effective and sustainable ways to translate research findings into practical solutions in the classroom.Purpose: This discursive paper focuses on describing the nature of the partnership working involved when a design-based research (DBR) approach was employed to bring researchers and practitioners together. The researchers and practitioners worked in collaboration to design a professional development (PD) programme, in order to solve classroom problems and enhance practitioners’ research engagement.Sources of evidence: This paper describes the author’s experience of using DBR to co-design a PD programme that was responsive to a particular context and practitioners’ needs. It illustrates and exemplifies the ways in which the researcher–practitioner collaboration itself sits at the heart of the design process and enabled solutions to be found. The paper also considers the epistemological positions of the practitioners and researchers in the different stages of DBR. The context for the description is a mixed-methods intervention study conducted in two colleges of teacher education, which documented the design and refinement of a PD programme to facilitate teachers’ effective use of technology to teach mathematics.Discussion and conclusions: The examples presented and discussed here suggest how a DBR process is able to facilitate fruitful collaborations between researchers and practitioners and increase engagement in research. By working with practitioners to design interventions such as PD programmes, DBR can provide a practical approach for improving practice and deepening the relationship between educational research and classroom practice.

The relationship between cognition and action: performance of children 312–7 years old on a stroop- like day-night test - Gerstadt, Cherie L.; Hong, Yoon Joo; Diamond, Adele (Cognition, 1994)
One hundred and sixty children 312–7 years of age (10M, 10F at each 6-month interval) were tested on a task that requires inhibitory control of action plus learning and remembering two rules. They were asked to say “day” whenever a black card with the moon and stars appeared and to say “night” when shown a white card with a bright sun. Children <5 years had great difficulty. They started out performing well, but could not sustain this over the course of the 16-trial session. Response latency decreased from 312 to 412 years. Children <412 years performed well when they took very long to respond. To test whether the requirement to learn and remember two rules alone was sufficient to cause children difficulty, 80 children 312–5 years old were tested on a control version of the task (“say ‘day’ to one abstract design and ‘night’ to another”). Even the youngest children performed at a high level. We conclude that the requirement to learn and remember two rules is not in itself sufficient to account for the poor performance of the younger children in the experimental condition.
