Teacher Development Programme In-Service Training Impact Evaluation 2017

This file contains data at the school level and corresponds to the TDP IE endline head teacher interview (HT) and classroom attendance (CA) instruments. It also contains some variables required for weighting the data. Refer to the Weighting sub-section in the Sampling section of this documentation for a description of the weighting procedure and refer to the technical document 'Quantitative Analysis: Samples, Weights and Survey Settings' provided under Related Materials for details over which weight variables, sample identification variables and survey settings to use for each level/type of analysis.

Some variables from the questionnaire have been excluded from this dataset for confidentiality and other purposes. See 'List of Variables Excluded from Endline Survey Datasets' in Technical documents for a list of these variables and reasons why they were excluded.

Names of districts, schools, teachers and pupils have been removed in the anonymisation process.

This file contains data at the teacher level and corresponds to the TDP IE endline teacher interview (TI) and teacher development needs assessment (TDNA) instruments. It also contains some variables required for weighting the data. Refer to the Weighting sub-section in the Sampling section of this documentation for a description of the weighting procedure and refer to the technical document 'Quantitative Analysis: Samples, Weights and Survey Settings' provided under Related Materials for details over which weight variables, sample identification variables and survey settings to use for each level/type of analysis.

Some variables from the questionnaire have been excluded from this dataset for confidentiality and other purposes. See 'List of Variables Excluded from Endline Survey Datasets' in Technical documents for a list of these variables and reasons why they were excluded.

The dataset includes a record for every teacher that was interviewed at baseline (and who was supposed to be interviewed at endline) and the outcome of the interview at endline as well as the reason why a teacher was not interviewed (no longer employed at school, not available on the day of the survey, etc.). The teachers are assigned an ID from 2 to 4, and they can be matched to the teacher IDs in the baseline datasets (using the school_id and teacher_id variables).

The dataset also includes the TDNA data for all teachers and head teachers who were successfully administered the TDNA at endline. All head teachers have a teacher_id=1. Data from the first and second versions of the TDNA instrument are both included in the dataset (refer to the Description of Scope sub-section under the Scope section in this documentation for more details on why a second version of the TDNA was developed and administered in the last weeks of fieldwork). The variable 't_type' in the dataset identifies which observations correspond to the first version and which correspond to the second version. Note that the TDNA variables in the dataset are not the answers that the teachers provided but rather they are the points that they got for each answer that was assessed by the data collection team during the marking stage (refer to the 'Teacher Development Needs Assessment Mark Scheme' and 'Teacher Development Needs Assessment Mark Scheme - Altered Version' provided under Questionnaires for an explanation of the marking scheme). Also included are some constructed indicators for teacher TDNA scores (prefixed by n_).

This file contains data at the pupil level and corresponds to the TDP IE endline pupil test (PT) instrument. It also contains some variables required for weighting the data. Refer to the Weighting sub-section in the Sampling section of this documentation for a description of the weighting procedure and refer to the technical document 'Quantitative Analysis: Samples, Weights and Survey Settings' provided under Related Materials for details over which weight variables, sample identification variables and survey settings to use for each level/type of analysis.

Some variables from the questionnaire have been excluded from this dataset for confidentiality and other purposes. See 'List of Variables Excluded from Endline Survey Datasets' in Technical documents for a list of these variables and reasons why they were excluded.

The dataset includes a record for every pupil that was interviewed at baseline (and who was supposed to be interviewed at endline) and the outcome of the interview at endline as well as the reason why a pupil was not interviewed (no longer enrolled at school, not available on the day of the survey, etc.). The pupils are assigned an ID from 1 to 8, and they can be matched to the pupil IDs in the baseline datasets (using the school_id and pupil_id variables).

The majority of the questions from the English, maths and science tests were removed from the dataset for the need to keep the individual pupil learning assessment items confidential. Constructed indicators for pupil learning assessment scores (prefixed by n_) are included in the dataset.

This file contains data at the lesson level and corresponds to the TDP IE endline classroom observation (CO) instrument. It also contains some variables required for weighting the data. Refer to the Weighting sub-section in the Sampling section of this documentation for a description of the weighting procedure and refer to the technical document 'Quantitative Analysis: Samples, Weights and Survey Settings' provided under Related Materials for details over which weight variables, sample identification variables and survey settings to use for each level/type of analysis.

Some variables from the questionnaire have been excluded from this dataset for confidentiality and other purposes. See 'List of Variables Excluded from Endline Survey Datasets' in Technical documents for a list of these variables and reasons why they were excluded.

The dataset includes all teachers and head teachers who were successfully observed at endline. The teachers are assigned an ID from 2 to 4, and they can be matched to the teacher IDs in the 'el_v2_1_teacher' dataset as well as to the teacher IDs in the baseline datasets (using the school_id and teacher_id variables). All head teachers have a teacher_id=1. The dataset includes both teachers who were observed at baseline and endline and teachers who were only observed at endline. Note that only panel survey weights were constructed and included in the dataset for the sample of teachers who were observed at both baseline and endline. There exists a variable in the dataset which indicates which teachers were observed at both baseline and endline 'n_panel_obs'.

Note that in the first days of fieldwork, lessons were only observed until the 36th minute; however, the protocol was then changed so that lessons were observed until the 45th minute. The variable 'n_obs_to_36min' in the dataset indicates which lessons were observed until the 36th minute.

This file contains data at the teacher level and corresponds to the TDP IE endline teacher roster and background (TR) instrument. It also contains some variables required for weighting the data. Refer to the Weighting sub-section in the Sampling section of this documentation for a description of the weighting procedure and refer to the technical document 'Quantitative Analysis: Samples, Weights and Survey Settings' provided under Related Materials for details over which weight variables, sample identification variables and survey settings to use for each level/type of analysis.

This dataset includes the list of all teachers employed at the school at the time of the survey. Note that the teachers in this dataset cannot be matched to the interviewed and observed teachers in the 'el_v2_1_teacher' and 'el_v2_1_lesson' datasets, as the teacher IDs are not comparable.
