Insights on Technology-supported Teaching, Learning and Teacher Development in Contexts of Low Resources and Marginalisation
March 5, 2024 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm BST
Remote access to educational resources and opportunities for study or professional development increasingly depend on continuous access to technology, particularly smartphones and other mobile devices. Many people find themselves excluded, due to limited personal and local resources as well as multiple forms of marginalisation. In this session we present experiences and research findings from recent funded projects in low resource settings in several countries, with a special focus on Asia and Africa. The common theme in these projects has been a focus on marginalised or resource-constrained educators and students, including refugees and those who are from marginalised minority ethnic backgrounds. We draw attention to the aspirations and motivations of our research participants in their education contexts and share important insights into their experiences with technology.
