The problem
Intervention: Homeschooling using the Accelerated Christian Education curriculum
Who it was tested with: 426 children sampled (272 participating) in Kenya enrolled in Accelerated Christian Education, with assessments from children, parents, and teachers.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"The comparison is done by looking at the social skills constructs of persistence, self–control and social competences. This study adopted the comparative research design, targeting children under the Accelerated Christian Education. 426 children were sampled... From the computation of children Independent sample t-test, it was revealed that there were no significant differences between the homeschooled and traditionally schooled children." The study uses a comparison group design with statistical testing, placing it at the experimental tier, though outcomes are mixed in that no differences were found rather than showing superiority of one approach.
Study limited to Accelerated Christian Education curriculum; findings may not generalize to other educational models or curricula. No measurement of additional confounding variables. Cross-sectional design prevents causal inference.
