Play & resilience: a toolkit for teachers, caregivers, and other stakeholders
Play is an easy, natural and universal practice that builds resilience. Play comes naturally to all children- and is a seemingly simple and light-hearted phenomenon. The power of play as a pathway to building resilience needs to be leveraged to provide children with the opportunity to further explore play in their home and school environments.
This toolkit is therefore premised on the objectives to build the capacity of various stakeholders such as caregivers/teachers, school managers, curriculum planners and policy makers who are key actors in the process of growth and development of children. It is also aimed at equipping these stakeholders with the knowledge and pedagogical skills to translate research, policy and curriculum to practical knowledge and activities for children in the school environment. The toolkit offers directions for facilitators who will be working with caregivers/teachers using the materials and resources provided and other relevant materials available in an environment where it will be used.
Research Methods: Developing your research design
This MESHGuide is designed to provide teachers with practical strategies to develop interesting and relevant research questions and to formulate a research design to engage in research-informed practice in their school or setting.
This MESHGuide draws on a range of key literature in the field of social science research, and it has been informed by lessons learned from the author's research. The guide aims to help teachers to:
- understand the purpose of a research design
- understand the significance of formulating a research question
- develop the initial focus of your research by exploring different potential starting points for this
- understand different ways of categorising research questions
- identify the characteristics of good research questions and apply these in practice
- develop and evaluate your own research questions
- operationalize your research aim so that you can develop appropriate research tools to answer your research questions by developing question-method connections in your own research
- improve your research data through understanding the nature of validity and reliability and exploration factors that could impact on these
Research Methods: Doing a literature review
This guide is designed to help teachers to:
- understand how to use other people’s writing to inform their own research;
- develop a strategy for carrying out a search of the literature;
- organise the themes logically;
- evaluate the research they read;
- think about the features of a reflective literature review and explore how to achieve this in practice
This MESHGuide draws on a range of key literature in the field of social science research. Also its design has been informed by lessons learned from the author's research, which has focused on the following areas:
- developing effective collaborative learning in science
- factors influencing learning through play in the early years
- student teachers’ engagement with research and its impact on their developing practice
- constructivist informed practice in science within initial teacher education
- creativity in learning and teaching.
Research Methods- Considering Ethics in your research
This MESHGuide draws on a range of key literature in the field of social science research ethics. It is designed to help teachers to:
- Understand the significance of ethical concerns in the research process
- Identify the nature of the ethical issues that may be of significance in the design and implementation of their research
- Develop their research design in a way that takes into account ethical considerations, so that their research is as ethical as possible
- Understand the complexity of the process of gaining informed consent and enable them to achieve this
- Reflect on the complexity of research ethics
Autonomisation des jeunes pour la construction de la paix et de la résilience et pour la prévention de l'extrémisme violent au Sahel et dans les pays environnants
Ce guide est conçu pour renforcer les capacités des enseignants du secondaire et des formateurs d’enseignants à intégrer une approche de renforcement de la paix et de la résilience dans l’éducation pour la prévention de l’extrémisme violent. Il s'appuye sur le guide «Pédagogie transformationnelle pour la construction de la paix» et il a été élaboré dans le contexte du Sahel et des pays voisins.
Le guide redéfinit le rôle des enseignants en les invitant à opérer un changement de paradigme consistant à adopter une pédagogie transformationnelle permettant aux apprenants de participer activement à leur propre apprentissage. La pédagogie transformationnelle que propose le guide se refère à la pédagogie active et à l’approche par les compétences (APC). Pour ce faire, le guide propose des activités visant un apprentissage par la pratique.
