• Abstract: This paper presents a critical review of the challenges to the implementation of learning technologies with particular focus on developing countries. A comprehensive literature review on learning technologies was undertaken for the purpose of understanding the challenges in developing countries. The research question is: what extent does education empower learners to be full participants in a socially democratic society? The literature review identified 25 papers relevant to this topic. Challenges are interrelated and to bring about changes in developing countries, this paper proposes two educational technology frameworks based on: 1. cultural conceptual framework, and 2. problem-based constructivist psychology simulation model. The framework and simulation model are both useful to guide practice and research.

• Extrinsic Evaluation of Cultural Competence in Large Language Models [53.626808086522985]
  We focus on extrinsic evaluation of cultural competence in two text generation tasks. We evaluate model outputs when an explicit cue of culture, specifically nationality, is perturbed in the prompts. We find weak correlations between text similarity of outputs for different countries and the cultural values of these countries.

  This article introduces micro scenarios as an integrative method to evaluate mental models and social acceptance across numerous technologies and concepts. Average evaluations of each participant can be seen as individual differences, providing reflexive measurements across technologies or topics. This paper aims to bridge the gap between technological advancement and societal perception, offering a tool for more informed decision-making in technology development and policy-making.

  The purpose of this review is explore different contextual challenges to the adoption of educational technology in the higher education sector. The cultural factors that define the key stakeholders are often ignored when the implementation processes are undertaken. It has been shown that cultural factors may significantly influence the implementation of learning technologies.
