Coming up an interesting Webinar by @norrag on knowledge (in)equity in education systems. Know more and register at: norrag.org/kix-emap-webinar-…
Audience question - Will the problem of english dominance and exclusion be solved by ed-tech? Answers from panelists: Yes language will with AI, but not culture and values embedded will be hard to challenge. #Data #DecolonizingData #EdTech #Education
Could you give examples from international development which pushed the adoption/purchase of ed-tech by global south governments? #Data #DecolonizingData #EdTech #Education
Siddhi Gupta speaks about how ed-tech positions itself as the the single route to reach what they claim is the single goal of education. #Data #DecolonizingData #EdTech #Education
@marina__avelar speaking of new actors and intermediaries in ed-tech- philanthropies, software companies, etc. And they bring to the table their particular worldviews (eg. tech-solutionism, profit orientation).
@TaskeenAdam defining decolonising education/ed-tech as taking a geopolitical approach to breakdown relationships of power. #Data #DecolonizingData #EdTech #Education
Her own PhD research looked at MOOCs from from a critical, decolonial approach - looking at questions of language, funding, power.
The session on decolonising ed-tech has begun with a talk by @kathrynmoeller who positions herself as holding multiple stakeholder identities in this debate- parent, educator, researcher. #Data #DecolonizingData #EdTech #Education
Are standardized assessments inherently epistemically unjust or can they be improved to be epistemically inclusive?

@TNHopfenbeck: all standardized assessments are not built by the same organisations, and the specific histories of the organisations point to significant differences in the tests themselves. #Data #DecolonizingData #EdTech #Education
Reference to Lab Director @CamillaAddey's work on PISA!
@BaelaJamil laying out the usual landscape of assessment - with the 'credentialled view from the top' and the 'duty bearers' carrying out this vision. And how there is a rise of South-led experiments on large-scale assessment. #Data #DecolonizingData #EdTech #Education
Celebrates how these south led assessments are bringing together culturally sensitivity with comparability. #Data #DecolonizingData #EdTech #Education
@SYLVIASCHMELKES on how epistemic justice impacts the marginalised - 'in which indigenous children do poorly, and it is difficult to explain to people that it is not because they are indigenous.'
#Data #DecolonizingData #EdTech #Education
Speaks of how universal design, a focus on testing minimum requirements will challenge cultural bias but the problem of of epistemic justice goes beyond assessment to the whole enterprise of education.
Back after the break with @LeonTikly starting off the 'Decolonising International Assessment' session.
