Details: Assessment Of The Impact Of Scaling Learning Through Play (ltp) In Rwanda's In-service Teacher Training Program & Type Of Contract Institutional Consultant      Title     Assessment Of The Impact Of Scaling Learning Through Play (ltp) In Rwanda's In-service Teacher Training Program.       Purpose To Assess The Impact Of The Learning Through Play (ltp) Program On Teachers’ Competencies And Learning Outcomes For Children      Type Of Consultancy: ·    Time-based ·    Delivery Based      Delivery Based.      Location  Country-wide In Sampled Schools    Duration  5 Months Start Date     January 2024   Reporting To   Unicef On Behalf Of The Ministry Of Education (mineduc) And Rwanda Basic Education Board (reb)           1.   Background Rwanda Has Made Significant Progress In Improving Access To Education, With Primary School Enrolment Rates Reaching Over 98 Percent For Both Girls And Boys. However, The Quality Of Education Remains A Challenge. This Is Evident In The Persistent Failure Of Children To Achieve Grade-appropriate Learning Competencies. The Most Recent (2022) Learning Assessment Data Indicates That Only 10 Percent Of Children (8 Per Cent For Girls) In P3 Achieved The Expected Proficiency Benchmark In English (which Was Recently Adopted As The Official Language Of Instruction At All Levels Of Education). P3 Students Performed Better In Mathematics, With 61 Percent (59 Percent For Girls) Meeting The Expected Proficiency Benchmark. However, Only 16 Percent Of Students Met Proficiency Benchmarks When The Tests Were Taken In English, Underscoring The Poor Proficiency In The English Language.   The Ministry Of Education Has Recognized The Need For Innovative Teaching Methodologies To Address Learning Challenges. As A Result, Learner-centered, Play-based Learning Approaches Have Been Highlighted In The Competence-based Curriculum Framework As A Key Pedagogical Approach.   Learning Through Play (ltp) Is An Evidence-based Approach That Promotes Active Engagement, Critical Thinking, And Problem-solving Skills Among Learners. It Emphasizes The Use Of Play-based Activities To Facilitate Learning And Development Across Various Subjects. Ltp Has Been Recognized As An Effective Strategy To Enhance Learning Outcomes And Promote Holistic Child Development.   In Rwanda, Ltp Has Been Introduced To Teachers In Collaboration With Unicef And The Lego Foundation, Through The In-service School-based Mentorship Program, Which Aims To Enhance The Professional Capacity Of Teachers On Effective Teaching Methods. By Integrating Ltp Into In-service Teacher Capacity Development, The Ministry Of Education Seeks To Equip Teachers With The Skills And Knowledge Needed To Effectively Implement Ltp Pedagogy In Their Classrooms As They Implement The Competence-based Curriculum. This Initiative Reflects The Government's Commitment To Improving The Quality Of Education And Ensuring The Holistic Development Of Learners.   While The Benefits Of Ltp Are Well Recognized, Several Challenges Need To Be Addressed For Its Successful Implementation. These Challenges Include Insufficient Awareness And Understanding Of Ltp Effectiveness Among Teachers, The Lack Of Materials To Support Play-based Learning Activities, And A Need For Ongoing Support And Monitoring To Ensure Consistent Implementation. Unicef Initiated The Ltp Program In Collaboration With The Lego Foundation In 2020 To Address These Challenges. Implementation Of The Program Was Initially Delayed By The Covid-19 Pandemic, But Momentum Was Regained In 2022. Since Its Inception, The Program Has Supported The Capacity Building Of 2,068 School-based Mentors (972 Males, 1096 Females) On Ltp Pedagogies. The School-based Mentors In Turn Trained 43,500 Teachers In 2,900 Primary Schools To Apply This Approach To Support Improved Learning For Children.   Unicef Plans To Support An Assessment Of The Impact Of Scaling Up Ltp Pedagogies On Teachers’ Competencies And Learning Outcomes For Children.   The Assessment Will Provide Valuable Insights Into The Effectiveness Of Ltp In Enhancing Teacher Performance And Children’s Learning Outcomes Using Available Tools Such As The Early Grade Reading Assessment (egra) Among Others. Furthermore, It Will Help The Ministry Of Education Understand The Extent To Which Ltp Has Been Integrated As One Of The Pedagogical Approaches Used By Teachers To Deliver The Competence-based Curriculum For Basic Education. By Addressing The Challenges And Leveraging The Strengths Of Ltp, Rwanda Can Further Strengthen Its Education System, Improve Teaching Practices, And Ensure The Holistic Development Of Children, Facilitating Them To Achieve Intended Learning Outcomes.       2.   Justification Learning Through Play (ltp) Is Widely Recognized As An Effective Pedagogical Approach For Children's Learning, Supported By A Growing Body Of Evidence. Studies By The Lego Foundation, Hirsh-pasek, Solis,  Whitebread, And Marbina Et Al Hirsh-pasek, Solis, & Whitebread (2017), Marbina Et Al., (2011), Lego Foundation, 2017; Vygotsky, 1978. Highlight The Benefits Of Ltp, Such As Enhanced Problem-solving, Creativity, Collaboration, And Language Skills Development. Through Play-based Activities Like Role-play, Problem-solving Games, Art, Songs, And Outdoor Play, Ltp Provides A Fun And Engaging Learning Environment In Sub-saharan Africa And Beyond. Based On This Evidence, Rwanda Is Well-positioned To Benefit From Ltp In Primary Education With The Support Of The Lego Foundation And Unicef.   The Impact Assessment Of The Ltp Program Is Crucial For Several Reasons. Firstly, It Will Provide Evidence-based Insights Into The Effectiveness Of Ltp In Improving Teacher Performance And Children’s Learning Outcomes In Rwanda.   Secondly, The Assessment Will Help Identify The Strengths And Weaknesses In The Implementation Of Ltp Within The In-service Teacher Training Program. It Will Give Insight Into The Extent To Which Ltp Has Been Integrated Into Teachers' Pedagogical Practices And The Challenges They Face In Implementing Play-based Activities Effectively. This Information Will Be Invaluable In Designing Targeted Interventions And Support Mechanisms To Address Any Gaps And Improve The Implementation Of Ltp.   Lastly, The Assessment Will Provide The Ministry Of Education With Valuable Data On The Overall Impact, In Terms Of Improvements In Teacher Competencies And Learning Outcomes For Children, And Sustainability Of Ltp As A Key Pedagogical Approach. By Understanding Impacts Of Ltp On Children’s Learning, Engagement, And Holistic Development, The Ministry Of Education Will Be Better Equipped To Make Informed Decisions About The Long-term Benefits Of Scaling Up Ltp In Rwanda's Education System.     3.   Objectives / Target The Assessment Is Intended To Provide A Comprehensive Analysis Of The Outcomes Of The Ltp Program, Contributing To A Better Understanding Of Its Impact On Teachers’ Competencies And Children’s Learning. The Findings Will Inform Future Strategies, Interventions, And Policy Decisions Aimed At Strengthening The Implementation And Scaling Of Ltp In Rwanda's Education System.   Specific Objectives Of The Assessment Are:   1.   To Assess The Extent To Which Ltp Has Been Embedded In The Government's Primary School Teachers Training Program. The Assessment Will Analyse The Extent To Which Ltp Has Been Integrated In Curriculum Delivery, The Availability Of Resources And Support For Ltp Implementation, And The Overall Institutionalization Of Ltp As A Key Pedagogical Approach.   2.   To Examine The Level Of Support For Ltp Within The School System. The Assessment Will Document And Analyze Guidelines, Administrative Instructions And Practices At The School Level That Promote And Facilitate Ltp Implementation. The Analysis Will Inform Understanding Of The Extent Of Collaboration And Coordination Between School Administrators, Teachers, And Other Stakeholders In Creating An Enabling Environment For Ltp.   3.   To Assess The Effectiveness Of The Training Provided In Equipping And Empowering Teachers To Use Ltp. The Assessment Will Measure Teachers' Knowledge, Skills, And Confidence In Implementing Ltp, As Well As Their Understanding Of Its Benefits And Relevance To The Competence-based Curriculum. It Will Also Identify Any Gaps Or Challenges In The Training Program And Provide Recommendations For Further Capacity-building Initiatives.   4.   To Assess The Level Of Sensitization And Support Among Parents Towards Ltp. The Assessment Will Gauge Parents' Awareness, Understanding, And Acceptance Of Ltp As An Effective Teaching And Learning Approach. It Will Determine The Extent To Which Parents Are Involved In Supporting Ltp Activities At Home And In Their Engagement With Teachers And Schools To Promote The Use Of Ltp.   5.   To Measure The Engagement Of Children In Ltp And Improvement In Learning Outcomes. The Assessment Will Determine The Extent To Which Children Are Actively Participating, Interacting, And Benefiting From Ltp Activities. It Will Analyze The Extent To Which Ltp Practices Contribute To Children’s Learning Outcomes. It Will Further Identify Any Barriers Or Constraints That May Hinder Children's Engagement In Ltp.   4.   Of The Assignment (scope Of Work) / Specific Tasks Scope Of The Consultancy   4.1  Overview Of Activities Of The End-line Assessment   I.   Inception Report And Context Analysis A.   Inception Report Combined With Literature Review And Context Analysis. • Comprehensive Literature Review Summarizing Existing Research And Evidence On The Impact Of Ltp In Teacher Training Programs, The Delivery Of Competency-based Curriculum And Its Relevance To The Rwandan Context. • Analysis Of The Education Landscape In Rwanda, Including Relevant Policies, Initiatives, And Previous Interventions Related To Ltp And In-service Teacher Training.   Ii.  Design Of The Sampling Strategy, Data Collection And Relative Tools.
