General
De nombreuses données montrent que de plusieurs enfants des pays à faible revenu et à revenu intermédiaire (PFR-PRI), en particulier ceux issus de groupes vulnérables et défavorisés, ne possèdent pas les compétences de base en lecture, écriture et calcul et ne sont pas suffisamment préparés à une transition en douceur entre l’enseignement préprimaire et l’enseignement primaire. Il est nécessaire d’améliorer l’enseignement préprimaire, dans lequel les pédagogies ludiques se sont avérées efficaces pour favoriser les compétences d’apprentissage fondamentales, y compris la créativité, la pensée critique et les capacités de résolution de problèmes. L’approche « d’enfant à enfant », dans laquelle les enfants acquièrent des connaissances et des compétences au fur et à mesure de leurs relations et de leurs interactions, est un modèle qui peut favoriser de telles améliorations. Il a été mis en oeuvre efficacement dans plusieurs pays comme l’Ouganda, le Yémen et le Pakistan afin de préparer les enfants à une transition tout en douceur de l’école maternelle à l’école primaire. Les principaux objectifs de ce projet sont d’améliorer la préparation à l’école et la transition vers les premières années du primaire en utilisant l’approche « d’enfant à enfant », et d’étudier comment mettre à l’échelle une telle approche dans différents contextes culturels aux Maldives, au Sri Lanka et au Pakistan. Le projet se concentrera sur les enfants à risque, que ce soit en raison de besoins d’apprentissage particuliers, de facteurs socio-économiques ou d’autres facteurs de risque qui limitent leur accès ou la qualité de leur préparation à l’école primaire. Dans le cadre du projet, on effectuera un pré-test et un post-test de la mise en oeuvre de cette approche à l’aide d’un outil d’évaluation de l’enfant, d’enquêtes, d’entretiens et d’observations. On développera aussi une trousse de formation avec des outils d’enseignement et d’apprentissage et des lignes directrices de mise en oeuvre qui sont valables dans le contexte et pertinentes pour augmenter l’impact, en plus de rapports de recherche, de notes politiques, de présentations de conférences et d’articles sur le sujet dans des revues scientifiques. Ce projet est financé par le programme Partage de connaissances et d’innovations (KIX) du Partenariat mondial pour l’éducation (GPE), une initiative conjointe du GPE et du CRDI qui vise à arrimer l’expertise, l’innovation et les connaissances pour aider les PFR-PRI à mettre en place des systèmes d’éducation plus solides et à accélérer les progrès vers l’atteinte de l’Objectif de développement durable en matière d’éducation.
There is a substantial body of evidence that many children in low- and middle-income countries, particularly those from vulnerable and disadvantaged groups, lack foundational literacy and numeracy skills and are not adequately prepared for a smooth transition from pre-primary to primary education. Improvements to pre-primary education are needed, in which play-based methodologies are proven effective at fostering fundamental learning skills, including creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. A model that can support such improvements is the “child-to-child approach”, in which children build knowledge and skills as they relate and interact with one another. It has been effectively implemented in several countries such as Uganda, Yemen and Pakistan to prepare children for a smooth transition from pre-primary to primary school. The main objectives of this project are to enhance school readiness and smooth transition to early primary grades by using the child-to-child approach, and to study how to scale the impact of such an approach in different cultural contexts in Maldives, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. The project will focus on children who are at risk, whether it is because of special learning needs, socioeconomic factors, or other risk factors that limit their access or quality of preparedness for primary school. It will carry out a pre- and post-test of the implementation of this approach using a child assessment tool, surveys, interviews and observations. The project will develop a training package with teaching and learning tools and implementation guidelines that are contextually valid and relevant for scaling impact in addition to research reports, policy briefs, conference presentations and journal articles on the subject. This project is funded under the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) Knowledge and Innovation Exchange, a joint endeavour between the GPE and IDRC to connect expertise, innovation and knowledge to help low- and middle-income countries build stronger education systems and accelerate progress toward the Sustainable Development Goal on education.
