Details: Attention: This publication is an ex-ante transparency notice announcing a future closed procurement procedure. Suitable interested parties with the necessary time and personnel resources can contact the specified email address, but are not entitled to inclusion in the subsequent procurement procedure. Overview of the contract subject matter: 1. Initial situation and objectives. In the coalition agreement of the government of the 8th legislative period of the state of Brandenburg, line 687 states: "We will [...] bring forward the language assessment nationwide by one year." In order to implement this project effectively and with the greatest possible benefit for children's language development, the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport (mbjs) is currently planning a model project to bring forward the mandatory language assessment and compensatory language support. The pilot project is intended to answer fundamental questions regarding the use of the "Language Screening for Preschool Age" (SSV) procedure, recognized in June 2024, for younger children, as well as the effectiveness and future design of language support for this target group. To this end, daycare providers from as many districts and independent cities in the state of Brandenburg as possible are to be persuaded to participate in the pilot project. The objective of the pilot project is therefore to obtain reliable information on whether bringing forward the mandatory language assessment has a positive effect on children's language development and how the compensatory language support program can be most effectively linked to the language assessment. To this end, the pilot project will be scientifically monitored. The aim is to achieve a sample size of 600 children who will participate in both the language assessment with the SSV and the compensatory language support program. 2. Tasks of the Contractor (an) The pilot project will test the extent to which the SSV is feasible for testing in the penultimate year before school enrollment and whether the current compensatory language support can continue to be used as before. Firstly, the children being tested are younger, and secondly, the periods for compensatory and everyday language support measures are longer. The an will provide scientific support for the pilot project. The scientific support of the pilot project should be based on the following research questions: 1. What are the prerequisites for success and obstacles to using the SSV for children in the penultimate year before school enrollment? 2. How does bringing forward the language assessment affect the children's language development when comparing three groups? 3. How practical is the use of the current compensatory language support program "Action and Language" with children in the penultimate year before school enrollment, within twelve weeks and within twelve months? 4. Is the currently used compensatory language support program "Action and Language" also compatible with an earlier language assessment with the SSV and correspondingly younger children? 5. What organizational aspects should be considered when extending the compensatory language support program in daycare centers? In implementing the scientific support, three main work packages can be derived from these questions, which are described in more detail below. 2.1 Work Package 1: Scientific Support for SSV Testing 2.1.1 Evaluation of SSV Testing (Research Question 1) For the evaluation of the success factors and barriers identified in Research Question 1, the specialist in the above-mentioned field will support the application of the SSV. Their tasks include the design and implementation of the evaluation. The evaluation must take into account the different testing times: - 1st test: September 2025 with children in the year before school entry; January 2026 with children in the penultimate year before school enrollment - 2nd testing: June/July 2026 with children in the 3rd comparison group (= children who complete the "action and language" program in twelve months) - 3rd testing: depending on the comparison group, between April and December 2026 with children in all comparison groups (after completion of the "action and language" program in the respective comparison group) - 4th testing: end of the 2nd quarter of 2027 with children in the 2nd and 3rd comparison groups (end of the last year of daycare) - 5th testing: end of the 2nd quarter of 2028 with children in the 2nd and 3rd comparison groups (end of the 1st grade) The evaluation is intended to form the basis for deriving relevant child-centered and structural aspects when testing the SSV of children in the penultimate year before school enrollment. After completing the evaluation at the various test points, it is the task of the researcher to evaluate the evaluation results. 2.1.2 Comparative analysis of the test results (research question 2) The task of the researcher with regard to the analysis of the test results is to evaluate the results of the language proficiency assessment using the SSV at the various test points. The following comparison groups are to be differentiated: - 1st group: Regular implementation of the compensatory language support program over a period of twelve weeks with children in the year before school enrollment in accordance with Section 5 Paragraph 4 of the Sffv, - 2nd group: Implementation of the compensatory language support program over a period of twelve weeks with children in the year before last before school enrollment, - 3rd group: Implementation of the compensatory language support program with children in the year before last before school enrollment over a period of one year. The analysis results will be compared for all three groups, including with reference to the SSV subtests, in order to generate answers to research question 2. The aim of the comparative analysis is to evaluate the test results from the various test times as well as other relevant data (entry age, daily length of stay and family language of participating children, other test procedures/documentation used by the facility regarding language observation, dovetailing of everyday integrated and compensatory language support in the facility) in order to draw conclusions about the effects of bringing forward the language assessment and compensatory language support on the children's language development. These will be summarized by the researcher/s in a concrete comparison of the three groups examined and a separate identification of children growing up multilingual. Furthermore, it is the task of the researcher to derive, within the context of a systemic approach, further factors that influenced or could have influenced the language development of the participating children during the analysis period. 2.2 Work Package 2: Scientific Support of the Compensatory Language Support Program 2.2.1 Practicability of the Ksje with the "Action and Language" Program for Younger Children (Research Question 3) The pilot project is intended to examine the extent to which the "Action and Language" program can be implemented with children one year younger than before, and to what extent extending the compensatory language support program with the "Action and Language" program to one year appears to be sensible in terms of a positive effect on the language development of the participating children. On the one hand, it is important to check whether the individual support units of the "action and language" program are designed didactically and methodically in such a way that children in the penultimate year before school entry can also grasp them cognitively and participate in accordance with the program's orientation, or whether they require adaptation. On the other hand, with the temporal extension of the "Action and Language" program, it is important to determine: - To what extent the children transfer the topic covered or the knowledge acquired in the respective support unit into everyday daycare life, - Whether the specialists specializing in compensatory language support (can) integrate the topics corresponding to the respective support unit/the acquired knowledge into the subsequent daycare life up to the next support unit, taking into account both the professional expertise and the aspect of staff planning (the possibility of contact between the specialist and the respective children), - Whether the reference specialists of the participating children (can) integrate the topics corresponding to the respective support unit/the acquired knowledge into the subsequent daycare life up to the next support unit, taking into account both their time resources and the content-related aspects of any necessary exchange between these specialists and the specialist in Ksje, - To what extent the children's memory is sufficient to cognitively link the temporally separated support units. With regard to these two aspects, the task of the researcher is to: - develop a suitable, well-founded evaluation instrument that ensures criteria of scientific quality (objectivity, reliability, validity); - create the opportunity for the specialized professionals participating in the model project, and if necessary also for the reference professionals of the participating children, to share their personal experiences, especially during the extended implementation of the "Action and Language" program; - establish criteria with which the practicality of the "Action and Language" program with children one year younger, as well as its effect/success with different program durations in comparison groups 2 and 3, can be recorded (e.g., the time it takes for participating children to internalize the content of the respective support unit, opportunities for the participation of reference professionals of the participating children in topics of the support units). 2.2.2 Connectivity of the "Action and Language" Program to the SSV (Research Question 4) In this point of scientific monitoring, the researcher should focus on how compatible the currently used compensatory language support program "Action and Language" is with the SSV and correspondingly younger children, even with an earlier language assessment (research question 4). This requires examining which specific language abnormalities are evident in the two subtests of the SSV in the participating children and whether/how these are addressed by the "Action and Language" program. The researcher expects that the results of the SSV subtests generated under 2.1.2 of this service description will be used to compare whether the individual support units of the "Action and Language" program address the abnormalities revealed in the SSV subtests and accordingly include compatible support measures. 2.2.3 Organizational Aspects of Extending the "Action and Language" Program (Research Question 5) The study of the practicality of the "Action and Language" program with younger children, on the one hand, and a program extension (see 2.2.1), on the other, can already provide indications of which organizational aspects must be considered when expanding the "Action and Language" program from the current twelve weeks to a period of one year (research question 5) in order to make language support as effective as possible for the successful language development of the participating children. At this point in the scientific monitoring of the model project, it is the task of the researcher to filter these organizational aspects and summarize them in a reasoned manner. It is important that actually feasible aspects are formulated given the currently available personnel and financial resources. They should be broken down into at least the following points: - Child-centered perspective (e.g. position of the support unit within the course of the day, temporal structuring of the sequence of support units), - Structural conditions of the daycare center (e.g. staff deployment and space planning), - Exchange formats and content between the specialized professionals implementing the program and the reference professionals of the children to be supported, - Favourable factors for a successful transfer of the knowledge imparted in the program in the respective support units to everyday daycare life. 2.3 Work package 3: Preparation of a pedagogical report Since legal changes would have to be implemented if the mandatory language proficiency assessment were brought forward to the penultimate year before school enrollment, part of this contract requires that the person completing an interim report on the results to date for the work packages under 2.1 and 2.2 of this service description for the model project by December 31, 2026 at the latest. This can serve as the basis for any legislative process that may be initiated so that the mandatory language assessment can be brought forward to the penultimate year before school enrollment at the start of the 2027/2028 daycare year. Initial results should be presented in the interim report, which will then be incorporated into the pedagogical report based on further findings. The pedagogical report must be completed by July 31, 2027. It will be supplemented by the pedagogical report with the evaluation results from the last test date by July 31, 2028. The pedagogical report should essentially address the research questions (section 2) in detail and contain summaries from the two previous work packages (see 2.1 and 2.2). In summary, the pedagogical report should provide a professionally justified opinion (position), derived from the scientific monitoring of this model project, on bringing forward the mandatory language assessment to the penultimate year before school enrollment. It should be submitted to the project leader in writing and presented orally.
