ESRC-DFID Accountability Studentship Research Proposal, reference JR13538

教育与社会研究中心-国际发展部资助的项目“能否从基层加强学校的学习责任？“，将由研究公平机会和学习（真实的）中心和ASER中心和印度Pratham教育基金会合作，旨在加强学校与社区的关系，分担责任，以实现提高儿童学习成果的目标。为了实现这一目标，本报告以印度农村的社区干预为例，其目的是与当地学校行为者（教师、校长、行政人员和学校管理委员会）接触，并向他们提供知识和资源，以便按照改善儿童在课堂上的基础学习的目标开展活动。鉴于这个项目，我的研究将集中在确定主要参与者和渠道，通过这些参与者和渠道，这样的社区参与计划可以产生更大的影响。我的论点是，除非确定社区参与的主要参与者和传播渠道，否则很难维持这种举措的影响（如果有的话）。目标是找出社区参与的“根源”和“路线”，在印度的干预。确定参与者将有助于产生更深层次的影响，而确定将参与传播到学校的渠道将有助于了解与社区接触的有效机制

The ESRC-DFID funded project "Can schools' accountability for learning be strengthened from the grassroots?" which will be collaborated effort by The Research for Equitable Access and Learning (REAL) Centre and ASER Centre and the Pratham Education Foundation in India, aims to strengthen the school-community relationship in terms of sharing accountability to achieve the goal of increasing learning outcomes of children. In order to address this objective, it takes the case of a community-based intervention in rural India, which aims to engage with local school actors (teachers, headteachers, administrators and school management committees) and provide them with knowledge and resources to implement activities in line with the goal of improving children's foundational learning in the classroom. Given the project, my research will focus on identifying main actor(s) and channels through which such a community engagement initiative can make more impact. My argument is that unless the main actors and the channels of spread of community engagement are identified, it is difficult to sustain the impact (if any) of such an initiative. The objective is to find out the 'roots' and 'routes' of community engagement, given the intervention in India. The identification of actor(s) will help in creating deeper impacts while identification of channels through which the engagement spreads to schools will help in understanding the effective mechanisms in engaging with the community
