Call for Submissions
The British Journal of Educational Technology (BJET) invites contributions for a special section titled “EdTech Implementation Research in Low- and Middle-Income Countries.” This section aims to address a critical gap by exploring implementation research that bridges educational research and practice in LMICs.
Why Implementation Research Matters
Implementation research examines how interventions—policies, programs, or practices—are carried into effect. While established in fields like healthcare and poverty alleviation, it remains underexplored in EdTech, particularly in LMICs. This approach generates evidence in real-time, enhances scalability, and prioritizes sustainability, distinguishing itself from evaluation or design-based research.
Scope of the Special Section
This special section seeks empirical studies focused on EdTech implementation in LMICs, engaging with decision-makers and addressing real-world challenges at various educational levels. Contributions will strengthen the evidence base, bridging the divide between research and practice, and fostering “evidence-informed practice” and “practice-informed evidence.”
