Measuring the Dosage of Brief Social-emotional Learning (Sel) Activities in Humanitarian Settings
Key messages for researchers and practitioners:
When studying brief and skill-targeted social-emotional learning activities, consider calculating measures of dosage: how much (quantity), how often (repetition pattern), and for how long (duration) the activities are implemented.Examine these measures as potential predictors of program outcomes or moderators of the program impact; and use the information to determine the “optimal dosage” when scaling up.
Link these measures with teachers’ and enumerators’ reports on implementation to provide better guidance on overall implementation quality.
