Description

This project was started in 1999 when Prof. Masayoshi Akahori was assigned to become a support expert for a pilot project in distance education (telesecundaria) for the Peruvian Ministry of Education by the JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency). At that time, the percentage of students entering secondary school in Peru was only 56%, with figures even lower in rural and Amazonic areas. Under the government of Alberto Fujimori, the Japanese government helped start a project that was initiated in 101 locations. To verify that the project goals were achieved, a study was started in June of 2000. However, in July of the same year, with the collapse of the Fujimori government, the project entered a standby state and the new government was not too eager to continue with the project. Under these circumstances, we were able to reach a new agreement to carry out this study together with the Peruvian Ministry of Education, and work was resumed. The year 2000 was the first year of this study and we mainly investigated the social and cultural background and importance of the project in communities where it started to function. We gathered related data through the distribution of a questionnaire administered by the tutors working in the participating schools. The second year (2001), of the study was the central one, hence we prepared research material and carried out case studies as established in the agreement with the Peruvian government. The research during this year was carried out together with two experts from the Ministry of Education: Marcos Brones (in charge of mathematics) and Margarita Leon (in charge of audio-visual materials). The case-study research was done between the 13th and 31st of August, 2001. We measured the level of achievement and the understanding and capability of students to extract information from video materials. Then we processed the data obtained and analyzed the results from both a psychological and statistical viewpoint.
