However, the lack of appropriate policies governing the development and adoption of OER presents a barrier to their application in schools. Based on relevant UNESCO guidelines of OER, this study aims to inform policy development by leveraging insights from school leaders in Hong Kong. A territory-wide survey of 102 school leaders, representing over 10% of Hong Kong schools, and...

At its core, the platform leverages the principles of open education and Creative Commons (CC) licensing to foster a culture of sharing, reuse, and continuous improvement in design-based learning. It serves as a repository and showcase for student-generated design projects, presentations, demonstrations,...

Drawing from critical pedagogy, constructivism, and social justice theories, the article demonstrates how OP transcends traditional pedagogical approaches by democratizing knowledge creation, amplifying marginalized voices, and cultivating skills essential for just practices in law enforcement and related fields. The analysis reveals OP’s unique capacity to dismantle...

This dissertation proposes the Integrated Institutional Assessment, Evaluation, and Research (I-AER) Framework, which reconceptualizes these three functions as complementary modes of inquiry (descriptive, comparative, and explanatory) capable of...

Digital technologies increasingly shape educational processes and access to learning resources. Therefore, this study was carried out to assess the digital competence of English Language students for the utilization of open educational resources (OER) using tertiary institutions in Ebonyi State, Nigeria. The survey research method of the correlational type was adopted with a...

Using the PRISMA guidelines, 18 studies were selected and a thematic analysis approach was used to identify research trends, thematic shifts, and future directions. Five themes emerged: open pedagogy and co-creation; integrated pedagogical strategies; empirical achievement and equity; behavioural and identity typologies; and barriers to adoption. The findings indicate a clear shift...

Mon, 25 May 2026 23:38:05 GMT http://www.oerknowledgecloud.org/record2912 http://www.oerknowledgecloud.org/record2911 Open Educational Resources (OER) have the potential to enhance equity in education. Many regions and education systems thus prioritise integrating these low-cost or free resources into mathematics teaching and learning. However, teachers face challenges when integrating OER into their instructional practices to prepare students for educational success. They need frameworks and guidelines to use OER and related practices (i.e., Open Educational Practices; OEP). Accordingly, we conducted a year-long...

These systemic barriers are rooted in the uneven geographical development produced by legacy Neoliberal frameworks, manifesting today as profound infrastructure deficiencies, most notably a digital divide that maintains the...
