Scientists are increasingly engaging the web to provide formal and informal science education opportunities. Despite the prolific growth of web-based resources, systematic evaluation and assessment of their efficacy remains limited. We used clickstream analytics, a widely available method for tracking website visitors and their behavior, to evaluate >60,000 visits over three years to an educational website focused on ecology. Visits originating from search engine queries were a small proportion of the traffic, suggesting the need to actively promote websites to drive visitation. However, the number of visits referred to the website per social media post varied depending on the social media platform and the quality of those visits (e.g., time on site and number of pages viewed) was significantly lower than visits originating from other referring websites. In particular, visitors referred to the website through targeted promotion (e.g., inclusion in a website listing classroom teaching resources) had higher quality visits. Once engaged in the site's core content, visitor retention was high; however, visitors rarely used the tutorial resources that serve to explain the site's use. Our results demonstrate that simple changes in website design, content and promotion are likely to increase the number of visitors and their engagement. While there is a growing emphasis on using the web to broaden the impacts of biological research, time and resources remain limited. Clickstream analytics provides an easily accessible, relatively fast and quantitative means by which those engaging in educational outreach can improve upon their efforts.

Sample survey data [ssd]
This study uses a RCT to assess whether there is a causal link between the program and changes in outcomes. The evaluation of this employs a three-arm clustered RCT design (two treatment groups and one control group). Randomization is done in 2 stages: We first pick 223 schools from a pre-existing list provided by our partner organizations. We then randomly distribute these 223 schools into the three study arms: T1 (self-help), T2 (assisted), and C (control). T1 and T2 will have 74 schools each and C will have 75 schools. From each school, we will randomly select 15 students on average to participate in the program. We will ensure that about half of the students are female when we randomly select the students to be treated from each treatment school.
a) T1: Self-Help Group (74 schools, 1,057 students) b) T2: Assisted Group (74 schools, 1,060 students) c) T3: Control (75 schools, 2,168 students)
Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]
Three survey instruments were used for this study - a School Survey Questionnaire and two Assessment Test Questionnaires (English and Mathematics). The School Survey Questionnaire including questions on school infrastructure and the Assessment Test Questionnaires were reviewed by the authors. Questions in the Assessment Test instruments were selected based on the national curriculum of Nepal from a standard textbook and a few questions also came from the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). The questionnaires were administered in the Nepali language. They are provided in both English and Nepali and are available for download here.
We conducted an assessment test for 6,980 students in 2022, but as the baseline was conducted a few months earlier than our intervention and the program started after the students progressed to the next level, we checked the final students list BEFORE the intervention started, and the final students who remained in the schools are 6,433 (547 students dropped out). We then did a balance check across different groups among the final list of students.

This impact evaluation was conducted by IDinsight for STIR Education in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh in India, and was funded by a World Bank Strategic Impact Evaluation Fund grant. The study seeks to evaluate the impact of STIR's purely motivational, pedagogically neutral, teacher-focused model on student learning levels. STIR works with teachers in low-cost and government schools in order to improve student learning by empowering teachers to act as change-makers and to innovate to overcome challenges in the classroom. IDinsight conducted two three-armed randomized control trials. The study looks at outcomes from 180 Affordable Private Schools (APS) in Delhi and 270 government schools in the Raebareli and Varanasi districts of Uttar Pradesh. The study began in early 2015, and lasted two academic years. In addition to measuring STIR's impact in two different contexts, the study simultaneously tests two iterations of STIR's model in these two contexts.
One district in Delhi - East Delhi, and two districts in Uttar Pradesh - Raebareli and Varanasi
For student learning, the basic unit of analysis is students. For classroom practices, the basic unit of analysis is teachers. For teacher motivation, the basic unit of analysis is teachers.
Sample survey data [ssd]
Baseline Respondent Identification and Sampling Strategy:
Delhi:
Teacher Motivation: STIR initially did a search process of several hundred Affordable Private Schools (APS) in east Delhi. From these schools, STIR passed school names onto IDinsight where the teachers might be interested in working with IDinsight. IDinsight attempted to sample all schools for the Teacher Motivation survey. In total, IDinsight interviewed 1,259 teachers for the Teacher Motivation survey.
Classroom Observation: From these 1,259 teachers, STIR did an additional round of screening to determine which teachers were the most interested and returned a list of 810 teachers to IDinsight. This list formed the basis of the classroom observation. However, due to attrition and refusals at the school level we were unable to meet our target of teachers and ended up surveying only 342 teachers.
Student Testing: For sampling students in the classroom, IDinsight sampled 10 students per classroom in classes (of all teachers covered for the classroom observation) with more than 10 students using the attendance register for the day the enumerator came to the class. In classes with fewer than 10 students, all children were sampled.
Uttar Pradesh:
Teacher Motivation: In Uttar Pradesh, IDinsight obtained a list of all clusters in Raebareli and Varanasi districts that STIR was working in. From this list, IDinsight selected all clusters with more than 16 schools. This was done to ensure that there would be enough schools in the cluster to assign some to the control group while also maintaining enough treatment schools for STIR to form a network. For the Teacher Motivation survey, IDinsight surveyed all teachers in the school, yielding 1,145 teachers.
Classroom Observation: For the classroom observation, IDinsight sampled roughly 2/3 of the teachers who completed the Teacher Motivation questionnaire, to get a final list of roughly 810 teachers. Teachers were added to this list due to teachers dropping out and the final number was 838 teachers.
Student Testing: For sampling students in the classroom, IDinsight sampled 10 students per classroom in classes with more than 10 students using the attendance register for the day the enumerator came to the class. In classes with fewer than 10 students, all children were sampled.
Midline Respondent Identification and Sampling Strategy:
For midline, which took place at the beginning of the second academic year, we followed up with teachers and students surveyed at baseline. Teachers were added only in the case where the number of teachers still teaching in the school from our baseline lists fell below a certain number. In Delhi, teachers were added if less than two teachers from our list in a given school were available and in Uttar Pradesh, new teachers were added only if all teachers from our baseline lists in a given school dropped out.
The sampling strategy had two clear advantages: 1) It helped us target teachers and students that have been exposed to STIR for as long as possible since the timeline for the overall evaluation is relatively short. 2) The evaluations are already quite complex and this helped have a clear interpretation and narrative surrounding the results.
Delhi:
Teacher Motivation: From the list of 1,259 teachers surveyed at teacher motivation baseline, 453 teachers dropped out of schools during the academic year and hence were not available for surveying during midline. A further 65 teachers refused to participate and 84 teachers were not available during the data collection period. Given this, the total number of teachers surveyed at teacher motivation midline was 657. These teachers formed the sample for analyses.
Classroom Observation: For classroom observations, we attempted to collect data for all 811 teachers on the Delhi original list. For those schools where the number of teachers available from our 811 list fell below two, 148 new teachers were added based on a random selection from those teachers employed at that school as of 1 July 2015. A total of 459 teachers were surveyed as part of the classroom observation midline.
Student Testing: For testing of student learning levels, all students surveyed at baseline formed the potential sample at midline. Among the 3,367 students from baseline, 1,956 students were tracked and surveyed at midline. 1,127 students had dropped out from the schools. 40 students were absent throughout the course of the data collection, and were not found in schools during any of the five revisits. The remaining 244 students were in schools where we could not survey.
Uttar Pradesh:
Teacher Motivation: From the 1,145 teachers surveyed at baseline, 288 teachers dropped out of schools during the course of the academic year and were hence not available for data collection. An additional 61 refused to participate in the data collection and 41 were not available through the course of the data collection. The final number of teachers surveyed at midline were 755. This was the sample for analysis.
Classroom Observation: From the list of 838 teachers surveyed at baseline, we successfully observed the classrooms of 734 of these teachers at midline. Another 13 teachers were added in schools where all teachers from our 838 had dropped out. 12 of these 13 were in Raebareli and 1 was in Varanasi. In total, 747 teachers were surveyed. 82 teachers dropped out of the schools in our sample. 13 teachers refused to participate in the data collection and 14 teachers were absent throughout the survey period and were not available on either of our visits.
Student Testing: Of the 7,386 students tested at baseline, a total of 4,560 students were also tested at midline. 615 students were absent all days of visits to the schools. 149 students were in the four schools that refused data collection. 2,062 dropped out of the schools in our sample.
Endline Respondent Identification and Sampling Strategy:
For endline, which took place after the end of the second academic year, we followed up with teachers and students surveyed at midline. In Delhi, one teacher was added per school to the classroom observation sample where possible. Additional teachers were added to the teacher motivation sample by offering the survey to all the teachers in our sample schools. The sampling strategy had two clear advantages:
1) It helped us target teachers and students that have been exposed to STIR for as long as possible since the timeline for the overall evaluation is relatively short. 2) The evaluations are already quite complex and this helped have a clear interpretation and narrative surrounding the results.
Delhi:
Teacher Motivation: From the list of 657 teachers surveyed at teacher motivation midline, 101 teachers dropped out of schools during the academic year and hence were not available for surveying during endline. A further 25 teachers refused to participate and 50 teachers were not available during the data collection period. Given this, the total number of teachers surveyed at teacher motivation midline was 481. These teachers formed the sample for analyses.
Classroom Observation: For classroom observations, we attempted to collect data for all 459 teachers on the Delhi midline list as well as 102 teachers we surveyed at baseline and couldn't at midline but were hopeful of covering in the last survey. A new teacher was added to each school's sample where possible. A total of 376 teachers were surveyed as part of the classroom observation endline.
Student Testing: For testing of student learning levels, all students surveyed at midline formed the potential sample at endline. Among the 1,956 students from baseline, 1,843 students were tracked and surveyed at midline. 49 students had dropped out from the schools. 45 students were absent throughout the course of the data collection, and were not found in schools during any of the five revisits.
Uttar Pradesh:
Teacher Motivation: From the 967 teachers surveyed at midline, 105 teachers were transfered and 17 retired during the course of the academic year and were hence not available for data collection. An additional 36 refused to participate in the data collection and 26 were not available through

The Young Lives survey is an innovative long-term project investigating the changing nature of childhood poverty in four developing countries. The purpose of the project is to improve understanding of the causes and consequences of childhood poverty and examine how policies affect children's well-being, in order to inform the development of future policy and to target child welfare interventions more effectively. The study is being conducted in Ethiopia, India (in Andhra Pradesh), Peru and Vietnam. These countries were selected because they reflect a range of cultural, geographical and social contexts and experience differing issues facing the developing world; high debt burden, emergence from conflict, and vulnerability to environmental conditions such as drought and flood.
The Young Lives study aims to track the lives of 12,000 children over a 15-year period, surveyed once every 3-4 years. Round 1 of Young Lives surveyed two groups of children in each country, at 1 year old and 5 years old. Round 2 returned to the same children who were then aged 5 and 12 years old. Round 3 surveyed the same children again at aged 7-8 years and 14-15 years, and Round 4 surveyed them at 12 and 19 years old. Thus the younger children are being tracked from infancy to their mid-teens and the older children through into adulthood, when some will become parents themselves.
The survey consists of three main elements: a child questionnaire, a household questionnaire and a community questionnaire. The household data gathered is similar to other cross-sectional datasets (such as the World Bank's Living Standards Measurement Study). It covers a range of topics such as household composition, livelihood and assets, household expenditure, child health and access to basic services, and education. This is supplemented with additional questions that cover caregiver perceptions, attitudes, and aspirations for their child and the family. Young Lives also collects detailed time-use data for all family members, information about the child's weight and height (and that of caregivers), and tests the children for school outcomes (language comprehension and mathematics). An important element of the survey asks the children about their daily activities, their experiences and attitudes to work and school, their likes and dislikes, how they feel they are treated by other people, and their hopes and aspirations for the future. The community questionnaire provides background information about the social, economic and environmental context of each community. It covers topics such as ethnicity, religion, economic activity and employment, infrastructure and services, political representation and community networks, crime and environmental changes. The Young Lives survey is carried out by teams of local researchers, supported by the Principal Investigator and Data Manager in each country.
Further information about the survey, including publications, can be downloaded from the Young Lives website.
School surveys were introduced into Young Lives in 2010 in order to capture detailed information about children's experiences of schooling, and to improve our understanding of: - the relationships between learning outcomes, and children's home backgrounds, gender, work, schools, teachers and class and school peer-groups. - school effectiveness, by analysing factors explaining the development of cognitive and non-cognitive skills in school, including value-added analysis of schooling and comparative analysis of school-systems. - equity issues (including gender) in relation to learning outcomes and the evolution of inequalities within education
The survey allows us to link longitudinal information on household and child characteristics from the household survey with data on the schools attended by the Young Lives children and children's achievements inside and outside the school. It provides policy-relevant information on the relationship between child development (and its determinants) and children's experience of school, including access, quality and progression. This combination of household, child and school-level data over time constitutes the comparative advantage of Young Lives. Findings are all available on our Education theme pages and our publications page.

Scientists are increasingly engaging the web to provide formal and informal science education opportunities. Despite the prolific growth of web-based resources, systematic evaluation and assessment of their efficacy remains limited. We used clickstream analytics, a widely available method for tracking website visitors and their behavior, to evaluate >60,000 visits over three years to an educational website focused on ecology. Visits originating from search engine queries were a small proportion of the traffic, suggesting the need to actively promote websites to drive visitation. However, the number of visits referred to the website per social media post varied depending on the social media platform and the quality of those visits (e.g., time on site and number of pages viewed) was significantly lower than visits originating from other referring websites. In particular, visitors referred to the website through targeted promotion (e.g., inclusion in a website listing classroom teaching resources) had higher quality visits. Once engaged in the site's core content, visitor retention was high; however, visitors rarely used the tutorial resources that serve to explain the site's use. Our results demonstrate that simple changes in website design, content and promotion are likely to increase the number of visitors and their engagement. While there is a growing emphasis on using the web to broaden the impacts of biological research, time and resources remain limited. Clickstream analytics provides an easily accessible, relatively fast and quantitative means by which those engaging in educational outreach can improve upon their efforts.
