Details: For Carrying Out A Study On The Effectiveness Of Cpd Programme For The Primary Education Teachers In Bangladesh. & Terms Of Reference For Institutional Contract Summary: Unicef Is Planning To Engage A Consulting Firm To Support The Directorate Of Primary Education (dpe) In Conducting An Effectiveness Study On The Continuous Professional Development (cpd) Programme And Training. Dpe Has Been Implementing A Number Of Training Programmes Under Cpd Provisions. As Per The Decision Of The 8th Joint Consultative Meeting (jcm) Of Pedp4, A Study Is To Be Conducted To Understand The Process Of Planning, Designing And Implementing As Well As To Analyse The Appropriateness Of Institutional Arrangements, Quality Assurance Mechanisms And Resources Invested For These Training Programmes. The Agency Will Serve As An Additional Hand To The Unicef Education Team For Effectively And Timely Completing The Assignment. Estimated Duration For The Study Is Ten Months. Purpose The Purpose Of The Assignment Is To Support The Directorate Of Primary Education (dpe) In Planning, Designing And Carrying Out A Study On The Effectiveness Of Cpd Programme For The Primary Education Teachers In Bangladesh. The Findings Of The Study Are Expected To Inform The Next Sector Programme, Especially To Identify Areas For Further Strengthening The Overall Teacher Development Activities In Primary Education. Location The Assignment Will Be Based In Dhaka, But Field Travel Will Be Required For Data Collection. Estimated Duration Around 10 Months Technical Supervisor Of The Assignment Education Officer, Education Section Background And Context Teachers, In Sufficient Number And With Required Qualification, Competency And Professional Readiness, Are The Most Crucial Input To Any Education System. If Teachers Are Not Trained, Nurtured And Supported Enough Throughout Their Career, There Will Always Be Capacity Gaps To Meet The Learning Demands Of Children Adequately And Effectively. No Education System Can Perform At The Optimum Expected Level And Ensure Student Learning, If Teachers Remain Weakly Prepared. Therefore, A Coherent And Well-planned Cpd System Should Be In Place That Is Appropriately Resourced And Responsive To The Existing And Emerging Capacity Development Needs Of Teachers, Their Educators And Supervisors. The Fourth Primary Education Development Programme (pedp4) (2018-2025) Is A Comprehensive Initiative Encompassing The Primary Education Sub-sector, Comprising All Essential Developmental Endeavours Within The Sector. Pedp4 Activities Are Categorized Into Three Components And 21 Sub-components. The Pedp4 Puts Emphasize On Developing Teachers’ Professional And Technical Capacity. The Sub-component 1.5 Is On Continuous Professional Development (cpd), Which Aims To “ensure That All Teachers And Teacher Educators Acquire The Requisite Professional Standards Through A Continuous Engagement In Professional Development Activities.” Achieving This Goal Is Possible With A Coherently Articulated System That Makes Professional Development The Norm. In Order To Realize This Vision, A Cpd Framework Was Developed In Year 1 (2018 – 2019) Of Pedp4. The Framework Encompasses All Types Of Teacher Professional Development Interventions With Review Of Current Training Curricula, Delivery Methods, Training Assessment And Monitoring Mechanisms And Implementation Of The Training Knowledge/skills At The Classroom Level. Guided By The Cpd Framework As Well As Based On The Needs, Dpe Provides Following Training Under Cpd Programme In Primary Education Sub-sector: Type Of Cpd Training[1] Target Group Academic Supervision Training Assistant Upazila/thana Education Officer (aueos/ateos) Induction Training For Newly Recruited Teachers Assistant Teachers (teaching At G1-g5) Induction Training For Newly Recruited Ppe Teachers Assistant Teachers For Pre-primary Education Leadership Training Headteachers Ict In Education Training All Teachers Need-based Sub-cluster Training All Teachers Curriculum Dissemination Training All Teachers Competency Based Item Development And Test Administration Training All Teachers Training Of Master Trainer In English (tmte) Selected Teachers/ Aueos/ateos As Master Trainers A 7-day Foreign Training Selected Teachers And Educators Send Training Two Teachers Per School Subject-based Training Core Subjects Bangla Assistant Teachers English Assistant Teachers Math Assistant Teachers Science Assistant Teachers Bangladesh And Global Studies Assistant Teachers Non-core Subjects Physical Education Assistant Teachers Arts And Crafts Assistant Teachers Music Assistant Teachers These Training Programmes Are Expected To Help Teachers To Continuously Develop Their Skills And Professional Capacities In Facilitating Effective Teaching-learning Process In Classroom. Dpe Develops/updates Manuals, Materials And Resource Books For Each The Above-mentioned Training Activity. Different Training Programmes Are Facilitated By Different Educators. Instructors At Primary Teachers’ Training Institutes And Upazila Resource Center (urc) Instructors Have The Main Responsibility Of Delivering These Training. The Need-based Sub-cluster Training Is Usually Conducted By The Assistant Upazila Education Officers. There Is A Yearly Training Calendar Prepared By Dpe With A Plan To Organize Different Types Of Cpd Programmes. The Current Study Has Been Planned To Look Into These Aspects, Especially Understand The Current Situation Of How The Cpd Training Programmes Are Planned And Implemented As Well As To Get An Insight Into The Extent To Which The Teachers Translate Their Learning In The Lesson Delivery In Schools. Rationale / Purpose Of The Evidence Activity Data From The National Student Assessment (nsa) 2022[2] Indicates That Students Are Struggling To Meet The Expected Learning Levels, With Only About Half Of The Students Achieving Expected Competencies In Bangla And Just A Third In Mathematics In Grades 3 And 5. The Nsa Also Highlights The Significant Impact Of Teachers' Pedagogical Practices On Children's Learning. The Cpd Training Programs Aim To Help Teachers Continuously Enhance Their Skills And Professional Capacities, Thereby Facilitating An Effective Teaching-learning Process In The Classroom And Helping Students Achieve The Expected Learning Outcomes. However, There Is No Recent Studies Conducted To Understand How Effective The Cpd Programme Is In Imparting The Required Skills For Teachers. A Cpd Study Was Done During The First Year Of Pedp4 As A Part Of Developing The Cpd Farmwork. The Development Of The Cpd Framework Based On The Cpd Study Was A Disbursement Linked Indicator (dli) (dli Target 3.2) Of Pedp4 In Year 1. As A Part Of The Process, All Dlis Are Verified To See Whether All Activities Are Completed As Per The Verification Protocol. The Verification Findings Are Documented In A Result Verification Report (rvr). The Rvr Of The Dli Target 3.2 Reported That The Cpd Study Mainly Looked Into The Current Situation And Cpd Needs. However, As Documented In The Rvr, The Study Had A Number Of Issues In Terms Of Internal Consistency, Relevance And Feasibility. The Rvr Recommended To Undertake A Comprehensive Cpd Effectiveness Study Taking The Global Experiences And Lesson Learnt Into Consideration. In Year 4 Of Pedp4, There Was Another Dli (dli Target 3.3) On The Implementation Of The Cpd Plan. Following The Verification Process, A Joint Consultative Meeting (jcm, 8th) Was Held On 27 March 2023 To Convey The Development Partners’ (dps) Assessment On The Verified Dli Targets. The Jcm Also Emphasized Conducting A Cpd Effectiveness Study, Which Was Agreed As One Of The Priority Actions In The Jcm Record Of Discussion (rod). Moreover, The Pedp4 Is Going To Be Completed In June 2025; And The Ministry Of Primary And Mass Education (mopme) Has Already Started The Discussion On The Next Sector Programme. This Design Of The Next Sector Programme Typically Includes Several Studies To Stocktake Overall Situation And Performance Of The Sector. The Findings Of The Studies Will Inform The Decisions On Different Aspects Of The Sector. The Cpd Effectiveness Study Can Be Considered As One Of The Design Studies That Will Contribute To How Teacher Development Interventions Will Be Strengthened In The Following Programme.

Risks And Limitations: Following Are The Risks And Limitations Anticipated: The Study Is Not Planned To Be Nationally Representative. Therefore, It Might Be Challenging To Draw The Conclusion From The Findings With Full Confidence. Dpe Has A Yearly Training Calendar For Delivering Training Throughout The Year. Also, Some Training Happens Only Once In 3-4 Year Period. It Means The Study Cannot Observe The Sessions Of All The Training Programmes, It Can Cover The Programmes That Are Conducted During The Time Of Data Collection. The Study Does Not Intend To Assess Or Evaluate The Cpd Training Programmes, Rather It Aims To Analyse, Understand And Document The Current Processes, Mechanisms And Institutional Practices. For This Reason, The Findings Will Not Infer To The Effectiveness Of Each Training. Ethical Considerations Agency Contracted For The Study Is Expected To Follow The Ethical Principles And Considerations Outlined In The United Nations Evaluation Group (uneg) Ethical Guidelines For Evaluation And The Unicef Procedure For Ethical Standards In Research, Evaluation And Data Collection And Analysis. In Addition, The Uneg Norms And Standards Will Be Observed. As Per Unicef Standards For Ethical Research, The Agency Must Give Special Attention To Ethical Considerations And Should Put In Place Adequate Measures For Ethical Oversight Throughout The Study/evaluation Period. All Researchers And Field Investigators Involved In Primary Data Collection Should Have Undergone Basic Ethics Training, Which At A Minimum Includes Completing Unicef’s Agora Course On Ethics In Evidence Generation Or Its Equivalent. In Conducting The Study, The Agency Must Ensure Informed Consent, Respecting People’s Right To Provide Information In Confidence And Making Study Participants Aware Of The Scope And Limits Of Confidentiality. Furthermore, The Agency Is Responsible For Ensuring That Sensitive Information Cannot Be Traced To Its Source So That The Relevant Individuals Are Protected From Reprisals. Data Storage And Security Must Be Ensured At All Stages Of The Study. Only Selected Personnel From The Research Agency Should Have Access To De-identified Data, And Only Anonymised Data Should Be Shared Externally, And With Unicef (unless Stated Otherwise). Use Of Findings As Mentioned, Though Cpd Training Has Been Implemented For Long, There Is No Solid Study Or Evidence That Analyses And Documents The Cpd Planning, Design, Implementation And Institutional Arrangement. One The Other Hand, Mopme Has Started Designing The Next Sector Programme In Primary, And Needless To Say, Teacher Capacity Development Is Envisaged As One Of The Important Components Of The Programme. For These Perspectives, The Findings Of The Study Will Be Used In Following Two Processes: Updating The Cpd Programmes: Based On The Findings, Dpe Will Update, Revise And Further Strengthen The Cpd Training Manuals, Materials, Quality Assurance Mechanisms, Alignment And Relevance Of The Training. Strengthening Cpd Provisions In The Next Sector Programme: The Study Will Also Inform The Critical Decisions About The Cpd Provisions For The Next Sector Programme, Institutional Arrangements, Capacity Building Of Educators And Supervisors, Fund Disbursement And Utilization And Training Management.
