| Abstract | This article describes a methodology that local educators can use to conduct structured analytic research on the quality of primary education. The methodology has been developed by four twenty-person teams of local educators who carried out studies in rural regions of Madagascar, Mozambique, Tanzania and Uganda. In addition to describing the methodology, the article presents short summaries of the researchers’ conclusions and recommendations. However, its main purpose is to share the methodology that has evolved. The methodology is qualitative, but a simple quantitative measure of relationship between binary variables (Yule’s Q) was used to test the researchers’ qualitative findings. It is this tool that provoked the most significant reflection among the researchers in each group. In general, the results of the four studies corroborate other research on the factors that influence student outcomes in primary schools in Sub-Saharan Africa. More importantly, the studies’ results demonstrate that the methodology offers practicing educators a tool that helps them define, collect, and rigorously analyse empirical information to reach shared insights about their schools and then to formulate practical recommendations about what to do to improve student learning.À QUI APPARTIENT LA RÉALITÉ QUI COMPTE ? LES ÉDUCATEURS LOCAUX COMME CHERCHEURS SUR LA QUALITÉ DE L’ÉDUCATION PRIMAIRE - Cet article dÉcrit une mÉthodologie que peuvent employer des Éducateurs locaux pour mener une recherche analytique structurÉe sur la qualitÉ de l’Éducation primaire. La mÉthodologie a ÉtÉ dÉveloppÉe par quatre Équipes de vingt personnes composÉes d’Éducateurs locaux ayant effectuÉ des Études dans des rÉgions rurales de Madagascar, du Mozambique, de la Tanzanie et de l’Ouganda. Outre une description de la mÉthodologie, l’article prÉsente de courts rÉsumÉs des conclusions et des recommandations des chercheurs. Cependant, son but principal est de faire part de la mÉthodologie qui en est issue. La mÉthodologie est qualitative, mais on a employÉ une simple mesure quantitative du rapport entre les variables binaires (coefficient Q de Yule) pour examiner les rÉsultats qualitatifs des chercheurs. C’est cet outil qui a entraînÉ la rÉflexion la plus significative parmi les chercheurs de chaque groupe. En gÉnÉral, les rÉsultats des quatre Études corroborent d’autres recherches sur les facteurs qui influencent les rÉsultats des Élèves dans les Écoles primaires en Afrique subsaharienne. Plus fondamentalement encore, les rÉsultats des Études dÉmontrent que la mÉthodologie offre aux Éducateurs qui la pratiquent un outil qui les aide À dÉfinir, À rassembler, et À analyser rigoureusement les informations empiriques afin d’obtenir des visions communes À tous au sujet de leurs Écoles et enfin pour formuler des recommandations pratiques sur ce qui doit être fait pour amÉliorer l’apprentissage des Élèves.WESSEN REALITÄT ZÄHLT? PÄDAGOGEN VOR ORT FORSCHEN ÜBER DIE QUALITÄT VON GRUNDSCHULBILDUNG – Der Artikel beschreibt eine Methodik strukturierter analytischer Forschung Über die QualitÄt von Grundschulbildung zur Anwendung durch PÄdagogen vor Ort. Entwickelt wurde diese Methodik von vier zwanzigköpfigen PÄdagogenteams, durch die Studien in den lÄndlichen Regionen von Madagaskar, Mosambik, Tansania und Uganda durchgefÜhrt wurden. Der Artikel beschreibt nicht nur die Methodik selbst, sondern liefert auch kurze Zusammenfassungen von Schlussfolgerungen und Empfehlungen der Forscher. PrimÄr liegt jedoch die Absicht des Artikels in der Kommunikation der neuentwickelten Methodik. Zwar handelt es sich um eine qualitative Methodik, jedoch verwendet sie zur ÜberprÜfung der qualitativen Forschungsergebnisse eine einfache quantitative VerhÄltnisbestimmung binÄrer Variablen (Yule’s Q). Dies erwies sich als ein Werkzeug fÜr höchst bedeutsame Reflexion innerhalb der einzelnen Forschergruppen. Allgemein lÄsst sich sagen, dass die Ergebnisse der vier Studien andere Forschungen Über einflussgebende Faktoren bei der Leistung von GrundschÜlern in Afrika sÜdlich der Sahara bestÄtigen. DarÜberhinaus belegen die Ergebnisse jedoch auch, dass diese Methodik den praktizierenden PÄdagogen ein Werkzeug zur Definition, Sammlung und grÜndlichen Analyse empirischer Informationen und Erkenntnisse Über ihre Schulen an die Hand gibt, aufgrund dessen sich praktische Empfehlungen zur Verbesserung der SchÜlerleistungen formulieren lassen.¿CUÁL ES LA REALIDAD QUE CUENTA? EDUCADORES LOCALES COMO INVESTIGADORES DE LA ENSEÑANZA PRIMARIA - Este artículo describe una metodología que los educadores locales pueden usar para conducir una investigación analítica estructurada sobre la calidad de la educación primaria. La metodología ha sido desarrollada por cuatro equipos integrados, respectivamente, por veinte educadores locales que realizaron estudios en zonas rurales Madagascar, Mozambique, Tanzania y Uganda. AdemÁs de describir la metodología, el artículo presenta resúmenes de las conclusiones y recomendaciones de los investigadores. Sin embargo, su principal objetivo es el de compartir la metodología que se ha desarrollado a partir de estos estudios. La metodología es cualitativa, pero se ha utilizado una simple medida cuantitativa de la relación entre las variables binarias (Q de Yule) para comprobar los resultados cualitativos de los investigadores. Esta, justamente, es la herramienta que ha provocado la reflexión mÁs importante entre los investigadores en cada uno de los grupos. En general, los resultados de los cuatro estudios corroboran otras investigaciones realizadas sobre los factores que influyen sobre los rendimientos de los alumnos en las escuelas primarias de África subsahariana. Y, lo que es mÁs importante, los resultados de estos estudios demuestran que las ofertas metodológicas ofrecen a los docentes una herramienta que les ayuda a definir, recoger y analizar rigurosamente información empírica con el fin de obtener y compartir conocimientos profundos de sus escuelas que, en consecuencia, les ayudarÁn a formular recomendaciones prÁcticas en cuanto a lo que se debe hacer para mejorar el aprendizaje de los alumnos. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
