Brownlee, Bonnie J. (Jul 1988). Conducting Evaluation Research Abroad: Some Things They Don't Exactly Tell You. This paper chronicles the anecdotal evidence of unexpected problems that emerged in two mass communication projects in Central America. The aim is to highlight the most salient "people-related" issues faced by mass communication evaluation researchers who work in alien cultures. The paper argues that graduate students in schools of journalism and mass communication are well trained in theory, methods, and statistical analysis but are not so well prepared to deal with the obstacles put up by people and the organizations they represent in field settings. The paper states that this problem is particularly true for those who intend to work in evaluation research in developing countries. The two projects discussed in the paper dealt with non-formal community educational radio and were located in isolated regions of Nicaragua and Honduras. Personal experiences of the author during these projects are recounted while observations drawn from literature that addresses evaluation research are integrated in the text. The paper makes the case that the field of journalism and mass communication needs to prepare graduates better to handle these "people-related" issues. (Thirteen notes are included.) (MS) ED298544

Corrales, Carleton. (Apr 1995). Adult Basic Education in Honduras: Managing Multiple Channels. Learntech Case Study Series No. 9. On June 1, 1992, the Ministry of Education in Honduras started a pilot project using Interactive Radio Instruction (IRI) to deliver adult basic education. This case study examines the IRI project, or the "Basic Education for All" project, which is predicated on the conviction that educational investment in basic education for young working people could effectively accelerate economic and social development. The document begins with a brief discussion on illiteracy rates and the failure of adult education programs in Honduras. It goes on to note how the Basic Education for All project adapted an IRI elementary education curriculum to cover six academic years (levels); the design of the first and last three levels are described in detail. Discussion then focuses on the following factors that were important for establishing the project as a permanent educational system: institutional roles; catering to adult learners; the role of radio facilitators; delivery of audio and print resources; managing the radio system; supervising the centers; training needs; marketing; and funding. Evaluation and outcomes are discussed and achievement data is then delineated according to gender. Six figures present comparisons by subject, level, and gender. (Contains 20 references.)

Cuadra, Ernesto; Crouch, Luis. (Dec 1989). Indicators of Student Flow Rates in Honduras: An Assessment of an Alternative Methodology, with Two Methodologies for Estimating Student Flow Rates. Bridges Research Report No. 6. Student promotion, repetition, and dropout rates constitute the basic data needed to forecast future enrollment and new resources. Information on student flow is significantly related to policy formulation aimed at improving internal efficiency, because dropping out and grade repetition increase per pupil cost, block access to eligible school-age children, and prevent students from gaining an adequate education. Although studies conducted in many Third World countries have shown that student enrollment information collected by education ministries is fairly reliable, most countries underestimate grade repetition rates, because reliable data is absent. One method for calculating the number of repeaters that is not based on school data is the age/grade method. The basic assumption is that enrollment data by age and grade sent to education ministries is more accurate than the repetition data. Cuadra's paper describes a 1986 study conducted in Honduras that tested this model by comparing school records of 327 students with data obtained from interviewing the students' parents. The study determined the accuracy of the age/grade method for reporting basic enrollment information and found that school statistics consistently underreported the number of repeaters. By underreporting repeaters, schools also overestimated the number of dropouts. Other implications are discussed. Two other papers discuss alternative methods for estimating student flow rates in the absence of sufficient data. (52 references) (MLH) ED319116
