Psychosocial support and social and emotional learning outcomes in education in emergencies: identifying, analyzing, and mapping tools to global guidance documents

The purpose of the INEE QELO Mapping Project is to identify and “map” (code, analyze, describe) existing social emotional learning (SEL) and psychosocial support (PSS) measurement/assessment tools, as well as guidance documents, being used in the international Education in Emergencies (EiE) sector with the broad aim of informing policy that is grounded in a shared understanding of learning outcomes and monitoring. The work is a priority of the Quality and Equitable Learning Outcomes (QELO) work stream within INEE’s Education Policy Working Group (EPWG) and is funded by Porticus. Chapter 1 of this report provides additional background information on this project and describes the alignment between research, monitoring, programmatic and policy activities in the field of SEL/PSS for EiE. The primary elements explored in this report are guidance documents, measurement/assessment tools, and programmatic approaches. In addition, background information on SEL/PSS, particularly for conflict and crisis-affected settings, can be found in Chapter 2. Chapter 3 provides an overview of the methodology. Chapter 4 provides the findings, including survey results, qualitative findings, visual analyses and tools, validation and cost information, and a discussion of progress in measuring global goals. Chapter 5  includes a set of profiles of measurement and assessment tools. Chapter 6 includes a summary tables for looking across measurement and assessment tools and guidance documents. Chapter 7 includes a set of profiles on programmatic approaches to SEL and PSS.
