摘要

随着中东和北非(MENA)地区日益依赖民间社会部门来应对不断增长的人口需求,加强非政府组织(NGO)工作人员的能力以确保采取因地制宜、更有效的应对措施至关重要。然而,由于缺乏对该地区非政府组织工作人员能力建设机会的系统评估方法,有关提供这些培训机会的最有效模式的证据仍然很少。我们评估了贝鲁特美国大学非政府组织倡议在 2019 年 7 月至 2021 年 11 月期间实施的旨在加强中东和北非地区非政府组织内部能力的培训课程,重点比较了在线同步学习模式和面对面学习模式。通过混合方法,收集了学习者的短期和长期数据,包括知识评估、课程评价和半结构化访谈。共有 383 名学员参加了培训,其中 254 人参加了在线课程,129 人参加了面授课程。虽然两种培训方式在知识和认知方面的差异相对相似,但面对面培训方式比在线培训方式更受欢迎,因为在线培训方式更有吸引力,更有利于沟通和交流。手稿中详细介绍了两种模式的优势、挑战和比较结果。这项研究突出表明,与在线同步课程相比,学习者总体上更喜欢面授课程,并强调有必要开展研究,找出有助于提高在线同步学习参与度的因素,以及采用在线同步学习的策略。

Learning Modalities in MENAEvaluating the Non-Governmental Organizations Initiative
With increasing reliance being placed on the civil society sector to respond to rising population needs in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, it is crucial to strengthen the capacity of workers in Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to ensure localized, contextualized, and more effective responses. However, in the absence of systematic evaluation approaches to the capacity-building opportunities offered to NGO workers in the region, evidence on the most effective mode of delivery of these training opportunities remains scarce. We evaluated training courses implemented by the Non-Governmental Organizations Initiative at the American University of Beirut between July 2019 and November 2021 that aims to strengthen the internal capacities of NGOs in MENA, with a focus on comparing online synchronous versus in-person learning modalities. Through a mixed-methods approach, short-term and long-term data was collected from learners including knowledge assessments, course evaluations, and semi-structured interviews. A total of 383 learners participated in the training, 254 of which attended online and 129 attended in-person courses. While differences in knowledge and perceptions regarding the two modalities were relatively similar, in-person modality was preferred over online modality by virtue of it being perceived as being more engaging and more conducive for communication and networking. Details regarding the results covering strengths, challenges, and comparisons between both modalities are expanded on in the manuscript. This study highlights the overall prefer-ence of learners for in-person courses compared to online synchronous ones and highlights the need for research on identifying factors that could contribute to increased engagement in online synchronous learning along with strategies for adoption.
