Early Childhood Education and Development (ECED) Impact Evaluation, 2013, Round 3 - Indonesia

Abstract
---------------------------

The aim of the study is to evaluate a community based early education and development program launched by the Department of Non-Formal Education Ministry of National Education. The program was developed in collaboration with the World Bank with a total budget of US$127,000,000 and targets an estimated 738,000 children aged 0 to 6 living in approximately 6,000 poor communities (dusuns). The aim of the program is to increase access to early childhood services with the secondary aim of improving school readiness.

Sample survey data

Sampling procedure
---------------------------

The trial was a pragmatic cluster (by village) randomized controlled trial with an additional matched control group. Sampling included 310 villages in the following 9 districts:

1. Bengkulu, Bengkulu Province
2. Sarolangun, Jambi Province
3. Lampung Timur, Lampung Province
4. Majalengka, Jawa Barat Province
5. Rembang, Jawa Tengah Province
6. Kulon Progo, DI Yogyakarta Province
7. Ketapang, Kalimantan Barat Province
8. Sidenreng Rappang, Sulawesi Selatan Province
9. Lombok Tengah, Nusa Tenggara Barat Province

It was planned that batch 1 would receive the first block grants at the start of the project. Block grants for batch 2 and batch 3 were to follow after nine and eighteen months respectively. A selection of villages was randomly allocated to either batch 1 or batch 3 (within each district), this sampling feature was used during the evaluation design.

The team made every attempt to interview all children aged 12 to 23 months included at baseline, in the fourth-round survey in 2016. Additional instruments were also used to conduct a deeper analysis of school readiness for children attending ECEDs. As a result, teachers in ECEDs and lower grades in elementary schools were included as respondents to provider their assessment of their students. Children also participated in testing designed for different age groups (6-7 years old or 8-9 years old).

For the third round, the Household Questionnaire was divided into two types: Household-Short Questionnaire (for panel households) and Household-Long Questionnaire (for new households). The Child Test was administered in schools to panel children (if they are 6 years or older) and their classmates (every village will conduct the Child Test in a maximum of 3 schools/DF to capture all panel children). For the new children included in the Child Test, their parents will be interviewed for the Household Long and Caregiver Questionnaire.

摘要
---------------------------
本研究旨在评估由国家教育部非正规教育部门发起并联合世界银行共同实施的社区基础早期教育和发育项目。该项目总投资额为1.27亿美元，旨在为约6,000个贫困社区（dusuns）中居住的73.8万名0至6岁的儿童提供服务。项目的主要目标是提高儿童早期服务的可及性，次要目标为提升儿童的入学准备水平。
地理覆盖范围
---------------------------
项目覆盖至村庄级别（涵盖34个省中的9个省的310个村庄）。
分析单元
---------------------------
儿童/学生
照护者
村庄负责人
医疗服务提供者
教育服务提供者
总体
---------------------------
调查包括2009年1至4岁的儿童、照护者、随机选取的同龄人、村庄负责人、医疗服务提供者和教育服务提供者。
数据类型
---------------------------
样本调查数据
抽样程序
---------------------------
该试验是一项基于村庄的实用性集群随机对照试验，并额外设立了一个匹配对照组。抽样包括以下9个区的310个村庄：
1. Bengkulu省的Bengkulu
2. Jambi省的Sarolangun
3. Lampung省的Lampung Timur
4. Jawa Barat省的Majalengka
5. Jawa Tengah省的Rembang
6. DI Yogyakarta省的Kulon Progo
7. Kalimantan Barat省的Ketapang
8. Sulawesi Selatan省的Sidenreng Rappang
9. Nusa Tenggara Barat省的Lombok Tengah
计划在项目开始时为第一批次提供第一笔拨款。第二批次和第三批次的拨款分别在项目开始后九个月和十八个月进行。随机选择一些村庄分配到第一批次或第三批次（每个区内），此抽样特征在评估设计中得到应用。
研究团队竭尽全力在2016年第四轮调查中，对基线时包括的12至23个月大的所有儿童进行访谈。此外，还使用了额外的工具对参加早期儿童教育（ECEDs）的儿童的入学准备进行深入分析。因此，早期儿童教育（ECEDs）和小学低年级的教师作为受访者，提供对其学生的评估。儿童还参加了为不同年龄组设计的测试（6至7岁或8至9岁）。
对于第三轮调查，家庭问卷分为两种类型：家庭简明问卷（用于面板家庭）和家庭详细问卷（用于新家庭）。儿童测试在学校对面板儿童（如果他们6岁或以上）及其同班同学进行（每个村庄将在最多3所学校/DF进行儿童测试，以捕捉所有面板儿童）。对于新纳入儿童测试的儿童，其父母将接受家庭详细问卷和照护者问卷的访谈。
