Adoption of Education Technologies for Learning during COVID-19 Pandemic: The Experiences of Marginalized and Vulnerable Learner Populations in Kenya
Ochieng, Vollan Okoth; Waithanji Ngware, Moses
International Journal of Educational Reform, v32 n4 p464-487 Sep 2023
The onset of COVID-19 made governments and other education actors prioritize distance learning, particularly through education technologies (EdTechs). Most sub-Saharan African countries adopted and adapted this approach. This paper examines the extent of EdTechs' deployment in Kenya during the COVID-19 pandemic among marginalized and vulnerable populations. A cross-sectional study design was adopted for the study from which this paper drew its data, with both secondary and primary data utilized. The findings show that marginalized/vulnerable learner populations are still left out on EdTech supported learning. This article proposes salient recommendations that could help advance inclusive education discussion and related EdTechs' discourse.
