Enhance Rural Education in Cambodia

With your ongoing support, SeeBeyondBorders provides teachers access to cutting-edge technology and high-quality teaching resources. These resources allow 76 teachers to create dynamic and interactive learning experiences for 1,668 students, increasing student engagement and learning motivation in 11 rural primary schools in Cambodia.

During the last three months, the Educational Technology Project successfully conducted technology workshops that aimed to improve teachers' capacity to use technology for teaching and learning, including:

• Lesson Plan Building User Testing: The user testing aimed to get user feedback by building their lesson plan through technology. Six teachers who attended provided positive feedback about building lesson plans, finding it easy to adjust it to their teaching styles. This allows teachers to create their lesson plans and incorporate words or images that directly link to their lesson plans.

• Building Own Lesson Plan: This workshop focused on building lesson plans through technology to fit their individual needs. Of the 20 teachers who attended from five different schools in Ek Phnom District, 85% found the workshop useful and rated it "excellent”.

• Refresher Workshop on Using Moodle and Digital Resources: This workshop was conducted to refresh teachers on using the Moodle platform and digital literacy and math resources. It covered all important parts of the platform, such as using the key function on tablets, using the key function on projectors, connecting the tablet with the projector through smart view, Moodle course and category navigation, the key function on Bigbook blending words, and the key function of using maths digital resources.

Implementing the SeeBeyondBorders maths teaching methodology, enhancing student engagement, and providing various maths digital resources through EdTech has significantly increased student performance in maths. Students in classrooms using EdTech tools outperformed their peers in traditional settings by 8% points, with a pass rate of 65% compared to 57%. This demonstrates its potential to improve student achievement.
