Abstract

Findings of the project indicate: there is conceptual overlap between the topics identified in the project and those in comparable studies; pedagogies, technologies, and context are inherently interlinked; developing countries are adopting innovative technologies without the need to follow previous stages in the evolution of these technologies; the research agenda should combine advanced technologies with evidence-informed learning and teaching methods, apply a range of research approaches (i.e. from design-based research to longitudinal studies to lab studies) and study issues related to teachers and teacher training. The project combined both qualitative and quantitative methods for data collection and analysis including Group Concept Mapping (GCM).
