Given the digital revolution's significant role in modern education, it is crucial for countries to adapt and transform their educational models to ensure a future-ready generation. Our approach focuses on secondary data and document analysis, enabling us to draw insights from existing reports, studies, and educational policies. The first section of the paper examines the current state of digital infrastructure in Bangladesh's education system, identifying areas where digital technology has yet to be fully integrated or utilized. It provides an assessment of the challenges, including socio-economic factors, rural-urban disparities, and infrastructure limitations that may hinder the digital transformation process. Following this, the paper introduces a comprehensive, scalable, and sustainable model for digital transformation. This model is premised on robust digital infrastructure, inclusive digital pedagogy, capacity building among educators, and a policy framework that encourages innovation while ensuring equal access to digital education resources. The paper concludes by highlighting how this model can significantly enhance the quality and reach of education in Bangladesh. It also provides a roadmap for similar low-to-middle-income countries embarking on their digital transformation journey in education. Through our research, we aim to promote an inclusive, sustainable, and digitally-enabled education system that leaves no one behind, adhering to the global Sustainable Development Goals.","PeriodicalId":204039,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Education and Technology","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126295055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, stakeholders expect high-quality Kindergarten education. This study assessed the effect of class size and the developmental domain performances of Kindergarten pupils in public elementary schools. The researcher employed a descriptive-correlational design using the adopted questionnaire to evaluate the developmental domain performances of the Kindergarten pupils in the selected public elementary. Results of the study divulged that most Kindergarten pupils were at the exact age of their grade level, male, had normal nutritional status and were middle children among their siblings. The Kindergarten class size is above the required average of 25-30 pupils. Moreover, the overall results also disclosed an evident performance level in various developmental domains of the pupils. Only placement among siblings on the profile variables was identified as a significant predictor of the developmental domain performance of the pupils. Further, the study found no association between class size and Kindergarten pupils’ developmental domains. The researchers suggest that the department should maintain the standard size of the learners in every Kindergarten class. Furthermore, the teachers should monitor learners’ cognitive development and other physical activities even when they are studying only with their parents/guardians.","PeriodicalId":204039,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Education and Technology","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127604230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, students find it hard to conceptualize objects when they were already accustomed to non Object Oriented approach to programming. This paper hypothesizes that introducing Object Oriented (OO) notations to students during the design phase will smoothen their transition to Object Oriented Programming. To test the hypothesis, an experiment was conducted with the students of Al-Qalam University Katsina, Nigeria. The participating students were divided into two groups: (i) Flowchart group - representing the classical approach where flowcharts were used to design solutions. (ii) Activity Diagram group - which represents the control group in which swim lane activity diagram, as Object Oriented notation, was introduced to them at the design phase. Both groups were later introduced to Class Responsibility Collaborators (CRC) cards as an Object Oriented implementation model. The students were tested, four different times, on how well they converted flowcharts or activity diagrams, as the case may be, into Class Responsibility Collaborators cards, and their performances were recorded. The results were analyzed using Repeated Measure Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Unexpectedly, the Flowchart group outperformed the Activity Diagram group but the results were not statistically significant. Similarly, there was no statistical difference between males’ and females’ performances.","PeriodicalId":204039,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Education and Technology","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134181126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several studies mentioned that various protective factors could affect resilience among students. On the other hand, several risk factors also directly affect its development among learners. This research provides a scholarly source for developing a scale that determines the level of academic resiliency of selected secondary school students and describes its psychometric features. The preliminary items for the scale were drafted based on the literature review and personal interviews using open-ended questions with secondary school students in Bulacan. The interview questions were based on the risk and protective factors for academic resilience suggested by Kutlu and Yavuz (2016). The scale used a four-point Likert scale, with higher scores indicating greater academic resilience. After validating the preliminary scale, the researcher analyzed the validity and reliability of the new scale items among 591 students. Using exploratory factor analyses, two primary factors were extracted – internal and external protective factors - with 37 items for FLARS. Several well-recognized criteria for the factorability of a correlation were used. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure of sampling adequacy was .915, above the commonly recommended value of .6, and Bartlett’s test of sphericity was significant (X2(666)=7351.246, p < .05). Also, the overall Cronbach’s alpha was .901, which showed very high reliability. Therefore, the FLARS instrument is reliable and valid. It can measure the level of academic resilience of secondary school students. However, it might be readministered to a bigger sample for greater reliability, validity, and generalizability of results.","PeriodicalId":204039,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Education and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128460199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was conducted at Notre Dame of Midsayap College to Science teachers that was currently teaching in this institution. In gathering data, researchers used convenience sampling method based on the participants’ availability and their in-depth interview responses were collected from six science teachers. Findings revealed that science teachers used home-based experimentations as learning interventions. Science teachers find it more convenient to have home-based experimentation because the materials are easy to find in their homes. However, internet connection and availability of the materials are most common problem as the teachers did the home-based experiment. Therefore the researchers concluded that the participants of this study used home-based experiment in teaching science during in the absence of laboratory activities.

Scientific laboratory activities and experiments have helped students absorb science lessons more easily in recent years. Science cannot be more valuable to students if they do not get laboratory experience in school. As a result, the goal of this research is to learn about science major students’ lived experiences in learning science with the lack of laboratory activities while also identifying the obstacles they face. In an in-depth semi-structured online interview, ten science major students were asked to describe their learning experiences in science with and without laboratory activities. The students’ shared experiences described learning situations that did not involve laboratory activities as “finding light in the dark”. To put it another way, the students find the learning materials difficult to understand because of the unfamiliar terms they have encountered. Moreover, the lack of learning resources and home-based experimentation equipment and materials to perform the required laboratory activities made it even more difficult for them to gain new knowledge and formulate specific scientific explanations.","PeriodicalId":204039,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Education and Technology","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128109679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
