The Northern Cape Project, Phase 1 (2019 - 2020): Research Proposal
Part of the Project
Research Proposal For Phase 1: 2019-2020
The researchers aim to answer two key questions:
-
Does the Basic Concepts Programme improve school preparedness of the intervention learners?
-
Do Early Learning Outcomes Measure scores (ELOM) predict the Test of Basic Concepts Scores?
A quasi-experimental design using multi-stage cluster random sampling will be employed. A comparison group of children from schools who are not receiving the intervention will also be tested.
Sample Size:
Intervention Learners
Pixley Kaseme: n=80 (10 Schools)
John Gaetswe: n=80 (10 Schools)
Comparison Learners
Pixley Kaseme: n=40 (4 Schools)
John Gaetswe: n=40 (4 Schools)
Total number of learners =240
