Our primary objective in this Special Issue was to respond to potential criticisms of AIED in potentially "perpetuating poor pedagogic practices, datafication, and introducing classroom surveillance" and to comment on the future of AIED in its coming of age. My overarching assumption in response to this line of critiques is that humans…

Higher education (HE) is a challenging area for quality professionals because of its highly complex operational nature. While neither quality management (QM) in HE nor applications of analytics in QM is a new research discipline, few studies have examined the applications of analytics in the context of QM in HE. This study calls for more attention…

The purpose of this review is to examine the current literature on incremental rehearsal (IR) to investigate whether IR is be considered an evidence-based practice, based on the quality indicators set forth by the Council for Exceptional Children (Cook et al., 2014). Burns et al. (2012) completed a meta-analysis to investigate the effectiveness…

Quality, timely, purpose-driven education in emergencies (EiE) data can enable more effective response to education needs in crisis settings and strengthen system resilience. However, a growing body of evidence points to a number of problems related to the production, sharing, and use of EiE data within education information management systems…

The development of school education depends on the quality of the education provided, and it is a key metric for assessing the effectiveness of schools in developing talent. Building specialized, intelligent education quality monitoring (EQM) databases is crucial for speeding EQM progress in the big data era. This article examines the development…

Background/Context: Quality in early education and care (ECE) programs is often conceived as a combination of structural features such as class size and teacher qualification and process features related to the interactions between and within children and adults in the care setting (Hanno et al., 2021; Howes et al., 2008). From a theoretical…

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are involved in an evolution to a new model of university called "digital university." This model implies not only adopting new technologies but also developing an organizational strategic transformation which includes information, processes, human aspects, and more. Because an organization's digital…

School inspections are a common feature of many education systems. These may be informed by quantitative background data about schools. It is recognised that there are pros and cons of using such quantitative information as part of the inspection process, though these have rarely been succinctly set out. This paper seeks to fill this gap by…

Learning Management Systems (LMS) are software applications that facilitate the management and monitoring of online teaching courses and/or training programs, workshops, webinars, forums, and other similar learning activities. The LMS provides learning and teaching benefits and possibilities for synchronous, asynchronous, and hybrid training. For…

Sustainable quality education is a big challenge even for the developed countries. In response to this, education 4.0 is gradually expanding as a new era of education. This work intends to unfold some hidden parameters that are affecting the quality education ecosystem (QEE). Academic loafing, unawareness, non-participation, dissatisfaction, and…

The proliferation of massive open online courses (MOOCs) highlights the necessity of developing accurate and diagnostic evaluation methods to assess the courses' quality and effectiveness. Hence, this study proposes a diagnostic MOOC evaluation (DME) method that combines the Analytic Hierarchy Process algorithm and learner review mining to…

In February 2018, the IIEP-UNESCO Office in Dakar, with the support of Agence Française de Développement, launched a programme to support the monitoring of education quality in sub-Saharan Africa. The programme's primary objective is to assist education authorities in diagnosing and regulating their practices across all levels, contributing to the…

Background/purpose: School-based management (SBM) has gained international attention for the promotion of student learning and educational development. Senegal is one of the initiatives of French speaking African countries that adopted the move towards promoting SBM at the school level, but lacks substantial evidence of its effectiveness in…

With the development of the information age, the quality of physical education teaching in universities has become an important goal of teaching reform. Improving the quality of physical education and significantly improving students' physical fitness is one of the development goals of higher education. Therefore, this article proposes an…

Data collection and analyzation practices for English language development services are scarcely found in research, but needed in the subgroup of minority students commonly known as English language learners (Wiseman & Bell, 2021). Wiseman and Bell (2021) identified ELLs as one of the most under-documented student subgroups in the American…
