Introduction:
This year’s conference theme, “Navigating the Future of Education Research: Impact Evaluation in a Transforming Landscape,” invites participants to delve into the methodologies, skills, and knowledge areas that education researchers will need to provide rigorous evidence for decision-making.
The education landscape is undergoing rapid change. The Covid-19 pandemic amplified existing inequities in many education systems, and there is a growing demand for interventions that yield positive outcomes while being culturally and linguistically responsive to the needs of diverse learners and their communities. The advent of education technology products, including generative AI, has the potential to profoundly change the nature of teaching and learning in classrooms.
