В данном руководстве рассматриваются шаги, связанные с изучением существующей национальной учебной программы, а также разработкой ее объема и последовательности. Данный основополагающий процесс происходит до того, как будут написаны учебные пособия по обучению грамоте и счету, с тем чтобы содержание было адаптировано к конкретным условиям, отражало стандарты на страновом уровне и соответствовало потребностям развития.

The Uzbekistan Education for Excellence Program (the Program), funded by the United States Agency for International Development, designed the Uzbek Language Arts (ULA) and Mathematics Teaching and Learning Material (TLM) Uptake Study to learn whether and how teachers and students in grades 2 and 4 are using the new materials. The Program used the Phase 1 results and ensuing recommendations to inform the development and finalization of materials and ongoing teacher professional development (TPD) efforts.

To evaluate the impact of the Program’s reading and mathematics components on student learning, this report will compare results from the endline assessment against the values from the baseline assessment. The baseline Early Grade Reading and Mathematics Assessments (EGRA and EGMA, respectively) were conducted in November and December 2021. The endline was administered in May 2023.

This report summarizes the findings of additional analyses conducted to delve deeper and develop more insight into the piloting of the Self-Administered Early Grade Reading Assessment (SA-EGRA) and the Self-Administered Early Grade Mathematics Assessment (SA-EGMA). These tools were developed and tested by RTI International with the support and direction of Imagine Worldwide. Children complete these assessments independently on tablet-based software while in a classroom with their peers. An adult supervises the process.

This report summarizes the findings of an effort to develop and validate tablet-based, self-administered assessments of Chichewa-language foundational literacy and numeracy in the early grades in Malawi. RTI International developed the two assessments, known respectively as the Self-Administered Early Grade Reading Assessment (SA-EGRA) and the Self-Administered Early Grade Mathematics Assessment (SA-EGMA), with the support and at the direction of Imagine Worldwide. The assessments are deemed “self-administered,” because children complete the assessments independently in response to instructions and stimuli embedded in the tablet-based software. However, adults typically supervise the organization and conduct of the assessment as well as the collection of individual data from the tablets for analysis.
