Monitoring and Evaluation

“WHEN TEACHERS STIMULATE AND CHILDREN EMULATE" - THE MANTRA FOR ACHIEVING SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING OUTCOMES UNDER MULYAVARDHAN (MV).

At SMF we attempt to observe and measure just how well this process happens in the classrooms. Through intensive classroom observations and teacher support, we see whether:

Teachers demonstrate a sound understanding of MV course content and use child-centred pedagogy.
Classroom environment stimulates self-awareness, self-management skills and responsible behaviour.
Classrooms demonstrate social awareness and exhibit constructive, non-discriminatory and inclusive environment.

OUTPUTS ACHIEVED

Class observations by CRCs increased 5.6 times from 1504 class observations in 2018-19 to 8526 in 2019-20

Over 8000 teachers from Marathi and Urdu medium schools trained to become government master trainers or ‘preraks’ acting as support systems in their clusters for promoting MV related outcomes

1480 schools out of 1843 developed value-based curricular plans after being trained on the whole-school approach of MV with 825 schools having successfully implemented these plans

Class observations by DIET officials/BRCs increased 6 times from 144 class observations in 2018-19 to 888 in 2019-20

Around 2500 government officers from cluster to district levels trained to support teachers to enable and sustain activity-based, value-driven classroom culture and processes across Maharashtra and Goa in three years from 2017-2020

MULYAVARDHAN ANNUAL EVALUATION STUDY FINDINGS-MAHARASHTRA

Study conducted: Jan 2019

MV ANNUAL EVALUATION FINDINGS 2018-19

Schools implementing MV for more than a year have attained a 25% higher score over non-implementing schools in their overall performance towards nurturing constitutional values in schools
60% of schools implementing MV for more than a year showed 10 % growth in the ability of MV trained teachers to demonstrate the use of child-centred pedagogy over the non-trained teachers
61% of schools implementing MV for more than a year showed 10% growth in the quality of classroom environment for stimulating self-awareness, self- management skills and responsible behaviour over the schools not implementing MV
26% of schools implementing MV for more than a year showed 10% growth in the quality of classroom environment for stimulating social awareness and exhibiting constructive, non-discriminatory and inclusive culture over the schools not implementing MV

CLASSROOM PERFORMANCE: MV SCHOOLS VS. NON-MV SCHOOLS

Mulyavardhan trained teachers have demonstrated 18% higher score in their use of co-operative learning pedagogy than the teachers not trained in MV.
Teachers trained in MV have demonstrated 11% higher score in providing stimuli for self-awareness, self-management in their classrooms than teachers not trained in MV.
Teachers trained in MV have demonstrated 18% higher score in providing opportunities for demonstrating responsible behaviour and decision-making and also modelling responsible behaviour in their classrooms than teachers not trained in MV.

P2.1: Teachers demonstrate a sound understanding of MV course content and use child-centred pedagogy

P2.2: Classroom environment stimulates self-awareness, self- management skills and responsible behaviour

P2.3: Classrooms demonstrate social awareness and exhibit constructive, non-discriminatory and inclusive environment

Mulyavardhan – A big advantage

ZPPS Purna Nagar has children coming in from the nearby private school. As per the HM, their school conducts several activities for the children, especially Mulyavardhan which has proved to be a real advantage for attracting children from other schools into their school. (Z P PRI Boys School,Purna Nagar, Purna Nagar, Bhatkuli, Amravati)

Students demonstrate self-awareness and self-management:

The school has a Bachat bank run by children totally. Most children contribute money to it and a proper register is maintained by the children. That money is used whenever the school or the individual child requires money. (ZPPS Kharadewasti, Aadarki Budruk, Phaltan, Satara)
