Are you searching for strategies
that can improve, enhance, and even speed up the learning
process for primary-level
students around the world?
If
so, then I invite you to review “Accelerating
Learning for Children in Developing Countries: Joining
Research and Practice.” There are two related
publications: a comprehensive research study, and a
summary. Developed
under the Basic Education and Policy Support (BEPS)
Activity, these publications are part of a series of
documents
funded by the United States Agency for International
Development (USAID) in an effort to further improve
the quality, effectiveness, and access to formal and
nonformal
education.
Originated in the 1970s to improve the learning
of foreign languages, accelerated learning has now
been adapted
for use with different education programs in both the
industrialized and developing worlds to help children
learn more, faster. This research draws together knowledge
on accelerated learning from both the educational and
development literature for the benefit of education planners
and practitioners. The research reveals interesting insights
concerning the definition of accelerated learning, the
principles and practices that apply to the western and
developing world contexts, a suggested framework for
operating an accelerated learning program in developing
countries, and conditions under which accelerated learning
programs could be considered.
