Governance and Finance Analysis of the Basic Education Sector in Nigeria

World Bank Group (2015-09)

Nigeria has achieved remarkable milestones in its development over the last decade. The country has enjoyed sustained economic growth, averaging 6 percent gross domestic product (GDP) growth since 2004, and has outperformed the Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) regional average growth rate of 4 percent for much of that period. The main objective of this economic and sector work (ESW) is to support the government reform agenda in the education sector by providing analytical input in the areas of governance, and finance to enable the sector to address its key issues. The report focuses on two of the most salient education challenges highlighted in the first policy note; equity and quality of basic education, and investigates the root causes of these two key challenges utilizing a problem driven approach within the governance, and finance framework. The report provides a holistic approach to the ...

Conducting Classroom Observations : Analyzing Classrooms Dynamics and Instructional Time

World Bank (2015)

The ‘Stallings classroom snapshot’ instrument, technically called the ‘Stanford Research Institute classroom observation system’ was developed by Professor Jane Stallings for research on the efficiency and quality of basic education teachers in the United States in the 1970s. The Stallings instrument generates robust quantitative data on the interaction of teachers and students in the classroom, with a high degree of inter-rater reliability (0.8 or higher) among observers with relatively limited training, which makes it suitable for large scale samples in developing country settings. Key features of the Stallings instrument make it well-suited to large scale use in developing country contexts. However, several factors need to borne in mind when interpreting its results. First, there is clear potential for Hawthorne effects, as teachers are aware of the observer (and sometimes pair of observers) ...

Multiple Price Lists for Willingness to Pay Elicitation

Kelse, Jack; McDermott, Kathryn; Sautmann, Anja (2022-09)

Multiple price lists are a convenient tool to elicit willingness to pay in surveys and experiments, but choice patterns such as “multiple switching” and “never switching” indicate high error rates. Existing measurement approaches often do not provide accurate standard errors and cannot correct for bias due to framing and order effects. This paper proposes to combine a randomization approach with a random-effects latent utility model to detect bias and account for error. Data from a choice experiment in South Africa shows that significant order effects exist which, if uncorrected, would lead to distorted conclusions about subjects’ preferences. Templates are provided to create a multiple price list survey instrument in SurveyCTO and analyze the resulting data using the proposed methods.
