Abstract

This Special Section examines the role of implementation research in bridging the gap between educational technology research and practice within low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). Implementation research, focused on the real‐world application of policies and programmes, emphasises context and stakeholder engagement. Despite its relative novelty in EdTech, this methodological framework facilitates insights into the scalability of interventions in equitable ways. Included manuscripts provide rigorous evidence addressing the opportunities and challenges of implementation research in LMICs. By establishing current understanding and initiating a dialogue about knowledge gaps and future directions, this collection establishes a robust foundation for EdTech implementation research in LMICs and beyond to inform global educational policy and practice.
