Abstract

In this paper, we address the problem of improving data collection of the education system by presenting School Census Hub (SCH). The SCH concept emerged from field studies with stakeholders in Kenya. The goal of these studies were to help unlocking three key high-level requirements for the design of SCH. i) Budget allocation, allocating budget should be based on a verifiable number of active students and teachers, ii) Spending, spending on assets should be transparent and verifiable, iii) and, Improving learning environment, unlocking the limited insight into statistical relationship between school effectiveness and demographic variables. We present the overall architecture and design of SCH based on the findings from the field studies. The first version supporting a core set of capabilities for school data collection has been implemented. To evaluate the system, we conducted a large scale pilot in 97 schools. We report on a usability study of SCH that demonstrates user awareness and support for data acquisition and reporting in education management information system in Sub-Sharan Africa.
部署大规模学校普查中心:经验报告
在本文中,我们通过提出学校普查中心(SCH)来解决改进教育系统数据收集的问题。可持续发展学校的概念源于对肯尼亚利益攸关方的实地研究。这些研究的目标是帮助解开学校设计的三个关键高层次要求:1)预算分配,预算分配应基于可验证的活跃学生和教师数量;2)支出,资产支出应透明和可验证;3)改善学习环境,解开对学校有效性与人口变量之间统计关系的有限见解。我们在实地研究的基础上提出了SCH的整体架构和设计。支持学校数据收集核心功能集的第一个版本已经实现。为了评估这个系统,我们在97所学校进行了大规模的试点。我们报告了一项SCH的可用性研究,该研究展示了撒哈拉以南非洲教育管理信息系统中用户对数据获取和报告的意识和支持。
