Efectos de una intervención de alfabetización en las habilidades lectoras del alumnado de primaria: Proyecto USAID LEER

Abstract: El proyecto USAID Leer es una intervención de lectura y escritura en escuelas públicas de la República Dominicana en respuesta a sus bajos niveles de comprensión lectora. el objetivo del estudio fue determinar la eficacia del proyecto USAID Leer a través de dos estudios transversales (al iniciar el proyecto y en la mitad). Se realizó un estudio experimental con aleatorización de grupos (experimental vs. control) y una estimación del contrafactual basada en la evaluación de línea base. Participaron 2,399 alumno… Show more

“…The theory of change consisted of a multilevel teacher training model in which teacher training and teacher mentoring would improve teaching quality and, therefore, would improve student outcomes (Wood et al, 2016). The initial improvement of students was confirmed in the midline evaluation when results were compared with baseline findings (Mencía-Ripley et al, 2016;Sánchez-Vincitore et al, 2020). Overall, the study found low scores in reading comprehension and reading comprehension precursors (working memory, phonological awareness, letter knowledge, words per minute, pseudowords per minute, and fluency) for both the group of students who received the intervention (experimental group) and a control group.…”

“…The original methodological design for project USAID-Read consisted of an experimental design with random group assignment and estimation of the counterfactual from a baseline study (Mencía-Ripley et al, 2016;Sánchez-Vincitore et al, 2020). Before project USAID-Read started in 2015, the Ministry of Education provided the project with a list of 400 schools that fulfilled the inclusion criteria, in which 200 schools were randomly assigned to the experimental group and 200 to the control group.…”

“…The stratification guaranteed that Dominican educational regions were represented. At the same time, a two-stage cluster sampling was used to determine the number of students to be selected for each school to obtain a probabilistic sample (Mencía-Ripley et al, 2016;Sánchez-Vincitore et al, 2020). The present study follows a cohort design, which means that students from midline were different from students at baseline.…”
