Murray Trust DataFirst Support Site Child Assessment Survey v1.1 Edited, anonymised data for public distribution Early child development Early learning This dataset consists of early learning development data collected using the Early Learning Outcomes Measure (ELOM) assessment tool. The ELOM was developed on behalf of Innovation Edge by Andrew Dawes, Linda Biersteker, Elizabeth Girdwood, Matthew Snelling and Colin Tedoux. Prior to the development of this tool, there was no validated South African instrument for measuring programme performance against early learning development standards. The ELOM is an age-normed, standardised instrument for use with children in two age groups: 50-59 months and 60-69 months. The tool covers both direct assessment of children’s performance and an assessment of the child’s social and emotional functioning and orientation to tasks. South Africa The lowest level of geographic aggregation in the data is province. Individuals The assessment focused on children between the ages of 49-69 months in the selected schools. Observation data/ratings [obs] ELOM data includes data on the child's school: School setting (province, rural/urban, traditional), school quintile, and school name. Data on each child includes the child's age, home language, height, and child performance scores collected using the Early Learning Outcomes Measure (ELOM) tool developed by the researchers. This tool allows for both direct assessment of children’s performance as well as an assessment of the child’s social and emotional functioning and orientation to tasks. Direct Assessment consists of 23 items measuring indicators of the child’s early development in five domains which are internationally accepted recognised as key learning and developmental areas. These include: Gross motor development, fine motor coordination and visual motor integration, emergent numeracy and mathematics, cognition and executive functioning, and emergent literacy and language. The child's Task Orientation is also rated by the assessor during direct assessment. The child’s capacity for self-care (toileting), relations with peers and adults, and emotional functioning are measured with a Teacher Assessment. Innovation Edge Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi] Data was collected using the Early Learning Outcomes Measure (ELOM) tool which includes the following components: ELOM Direct Assessment Kit, ELOM Direct Assessment Kit list, ELOM Direct Assessment Manual, ELOM Technical Manual, ELOM Scoring Sheet, Open source online protocol for tablet/phone-based scoring and data capture, ELOM Teacher Assessment of the Child. Data collection for the project was granted ethics approval by the Ethics Review Committee of the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Cape Town on 11 November 2015. The ethics clearance document is provided with the data. DataFirst ELOM Project. Early Learning Outcomes Measure 2016 [dataset]. Version 1.1. Cape Town: Innovation Edge [producer] 2017.
