To explore the role of the community in the implementation of a large-scale, complementary reading program.

Purpose of study

Page 3: Community Mobilization: Support for the Implementation of a Complementary Reading Program

Read MalawiAssist the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology in addressing one of its priorities– to instill a culture of reading into its public schools

Designed, developed and printed over 5,200,000 books and teacher’s guides

• Implemented in over 1,200 educational sites

• Reached 8,000 teachers and 700,000 young children

Page 4: Community Mobilization: Support for the Implementation of a Complementary Reading Program

Research Questions• What seem to be the most prevalent ways that communities in

Malawi mobilize around their schools during a reading intervention?

• Are teachers’ attitudes and perceptions of their community associated with implementation levels of community mobilization?

• Are head teachers’ attitudes and perceptions of their community associated with implementation levels of community mobilization?

• What specific aspects of community mobilization can be attributed to the improvement in instructional reading practices of classroom teachers?

• What impact does community mobilization have on the improvement of reading achievement of learners in grades 1, 2 and 3 in those communities?

Primary education (infant phase)• Entry age = 6 years• Grades 1-3• National primary

curriculum• Core textbooks

• Large class sizes (80:1)• Lack of resources• Free, but not compulsory

Challenges!

Community participation

(Rose, 2003)

• Genuine participation is voluntary and spontaneous.

• Pseudo-participation is (at best) a consultative process. The community is kept informed of <school> developments and are expected to accept decisions that have already been made (“sold” and “told”).

Participation:

Implies the ability to take part in the governance and decision making processes <of a school>.

All members have “equal power to determine the outcome of decisions and share in a joint activity” (p. 47).

Page 8: Community Mobilization: Support for the Implementation of a Complementary Reading Program

Objective of partnership with CRECCOM

• Strengthen community involvement and participation towards promotion of a reading culture

• Served 52 schools• Reached over 393,000 community members• Created over 1,700 Community-based Reading Centers

(served over 72,000 young children)

Page 9: Community Mobilization: Support for the Implementation of a Complementary Reading Program

Methods

• Data sources:– Community mobilization implementation rubric– Teacher questionnaire– Head Teacher questionnaire– Student assessment

Page 10: Community Mobilization: Support for the Implementation of a Complementary Reading Program

What seem to be the most prevalent ways that communities in Malawi mobilize around their schools during a reading intervention?

• Theater for Development

• Change Agent Training• Mother Groups• Reading Centers• Volunteer Readers• School Tracking Initiative• Role Models

Page 11: Community Mobilization: Support for the Implementation of a Complementary Reading Program

Community Based Interventions: Open Days

• Celebratory• Accountability• Competitions

Page 12: Community Mobilization: Support for the Implementation of a Complementary Reading Program

Success Stories: Taking it and Running with It!

• Open Day Celebrations• Adult Literacy Centers• Bookshelves

Page 13: Community Mobilization: Support for the Implementation of a Complementary Reading Program

Are teachers’ attitudes and perceptions of their community associated with implementation levels of community mobilization?

• Survey questions:– (#43) There is a strong culture of reading in the

community in which I teach.– (#44) Parents in my community support their

children in reading at home. – (#45) Parents of children in this school read often

and widely.– (Collapsed variable: Community)-- Row means of

Are head teachers’ attitudes and perceptions of their community associated with implementation levels of community mobilization?

• Survey questions:– Estimate the highest level of education completed

by most adult members of the community– Area of need: Involving the community in

supporting the school…– To what extent is lack of cooperation from the

community a problem in your school?– Area of need: Motivating teachers– Area of need: using locally available materials to

support learning

Table 3: community education

Survey question: Estimate the highest level of education completed by most adult members of the community

1. completed secondary or higher, 2. completed primary, 3. attended some primary school but did not completed, 4. did not attend primary school at all

What impact does community mobilization have on the improvement of reading achievement of learners in grades 1, 2 and 3 in those communities?

• No measurable impact, however lots and lots of anecdotal evidence (e.g. Sailors, Hoffman, Wilson, Villarreal, Peterson & Chilora, 2013)

Page 32: Community Mobilization: Support for the Implementation of a Complementary Reading Program

Discussion

• Communities implement!• Communities implement because they want

what is best for their children!• Why did we not have stronger findings related

to community?– Sensitivity of instrumentation?– More time for implementation?– More funding to strengthen the implementation?
