Digital Learning, Real Classrooms
Insights from Implementation Research in Ghana
Highlights
While there is evidence that digital learning can improve learning outcomes, less is known about how to integrate it in the daily routines of schools, especially in low-resource contexts.
Digital Learning, Real Classrooms examines how digital learning was used to build foundational literacy and numeracy in Ghanaian primary schools. Using an implementation research lens, the study looks at four dimensions that matter for digital learning in low-resource contexts: appropriateness (how stakeholders view the platform), adoption (how schools and learners use it), fidelity (how closely practice follows intended pedagogy), and feasibility (the infrastructure and capacity to sustain it).
The paper shares lessons from real classrooms and offers practical steps and recommendations for policymakers and practitioners planning digital learning initiatives in low- and middle-income countries.
