Abstract

This summary of the report of a study to ascertain the impact of the Guyana In-service Distance Education Project (GUIDE) on student learning and teacher performance. The study addressed student learning achievement in English, mathematics and science—the three core areas in which the GUIDE teachers were upgraded. A sample of 56 teachers from 36 GUIDE schools, 35 mentors, and 15 tutors was used, while the sample of students for the tests comprised 212 (English), 292 (mathematics), and 269 (science). Data were gathered through the use of a classroom observation schedule, a questionnaire, and the achievement tests. The main findings and the recommendations of the evaluation are presented.
