Detailed explanation of ALL student and teacher engagement with the unit:
Module-level outcomes addressed:
By completing this unit, you will have covered module-level outcome 3 where you will be able to report and communicate the results of an M&E activity. Submit the graphical representation, analysis, and report as A10.1
Purpose of the unit/week/section:
Once data has been collected, we need to assign meaning, derive conclusions, significance, and implications of the findings. In addition, the data ought to be reported accordingly by organizing it into formal summaries and adding graphical illustrations where necessary to make it visually stunning. Having learned how to collect data in the previous section of the module, this section helps you gain an understanding of how to organize the data, derive informed conclusions as well as prepare reports that can be shared with the stakeholders.
Over to you: (a description of the process of the section)
Project reports are crucial in keeping key stakeholders up to date. Such reports with an in-depth analysis and recommendations provide an opportunity to evaluate the project, document lessons learned, and add to the organization’s knowledge base for future projects. Meaningful charts, spreadsheets, or statistics are essential for the report to have a degree of credibility when presented to the stakeholders. These show variances between the targets and actual accomplishments giving a platform for the impact to be reported and such differences justified. Analysing data is either exploratory or confirmatory. The exploratory approach discovers trends or probabilities whereas the confirmatory approach validates assumptions and establishes controls. The learning activities in this unit will help you gain an understanding of how to organize and interpret data as well as generate accompanying reports. Based on this knowledge you will analyse and report data from the project you have been working on in earlier sections of this module.
Pre-topic activity: | Number of hours | 0.25
E10.1

1. You will remove major errors and inconsistencies to ensure your data is correct, consistent, and usable.
2. Deliberate in your group and ensure that the data collected as outlined in the previous section does not contain duplicate records, white spaces, or missing data, fix structural errors, and filter unwanted outliers. Ensuring that the data is error-free will provide accurate results.
Face to face time: (if applicable) | Number of hours | 1.5
E10.2

1. The tutor will direct face-to-face discussion on analysing data and reporting the results using the guide provided in article R10.1 A step-by-step guide to monitoring and evaluation page 16-17.
2. The tutor will also guide you on how to identify trends and key lessons from the data collected.
3. Take notes as you will use this knowledge to complete the online tasks E10.3.
Online activity: | Number of hours | 1.25
What should students do?
E10.3

1. Watch videos R10.2 and R10.3. Based on the knowledge gained from this video and the face-to-face discussions identify trends and key lessons and possible graphical representation of the clean data of the project you are working on in your groups.
2. Discuss these findings with your group and agree on the final findings.
3. Generate a report showing deliberated patterns and trends from the M&E data, with key lessons derived and possible graphical representation. The report should also describe the relevance of this data to the project, potential factors that could affect the data, and your advice to the organization based on the interpretation of the data.
4. Post it on the VLE. This will form part of the final project you will be submitting at the end of the module.
Where do they do it? | After face-to-face discussions in class, you will do E10.3 on the VLE using any connected personal computer.
By when should they do it? | E10.3: 2days before the next face-to-face session of the following week
E-moderator/tutor role
The e-moderator will post the learning resources on the VLE, confirm that students have completed the activities, give feedback on assessments, and facilitate the face-to-face activities.
How are the learning outcomes in this unit assessed? | Number of hours |
The learning outcomes in this unit will be assessed through the part report A10.1 that has a graphical representation of data, description of patterns, and report.
How does this section link to other sections of the module?
Previous sections highlighted the data required for M&E and detailed how that data can be collected. This unit provides you with skills to organize that data, derive lessons from it, and generate accompanying reports to be shared with the stakeholders.
