Developing an evaluation framework for identifying globally shared and locally specific requirements for the design and use of educational technology

subject

description

This paper presents a preliminary evaluation framework for identifying globally shared and locally specific requirements for the design and use of educational technology. The framework was developed initially from a literature review, and subsequently further refined in international collaboration between Chile, Finland, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, and the United Arab Emirates. It consists of three partially overlapping parts: I) Education, teaching and learning; II) Culture and society; and III) Design and use of technological learning solutions. In addition to providing an evaluation tool for designers and researchers, the framework can support educators’ and student teachers’ cultural awareness and sensibility both when selecting and using educational technology. peerReviewed
