REFERENCES PART 9. Measurement and Recording Before carrying out the exercise, the supervisor carefully weighs and measures each child and records the results without any of the trainees seeing the results. For each exercise, a group of up to 10 measurers will conduct the measurements in a pre-determined order. Each child will remain at a fixed location. The distance between each child should be big enough to prevent measurers seeing/ hearing each others results. At the beginning of an exercise, each measurer and assistant is paired with a child. Once the children and the measurers have been positioned with their respective materials and instruments, the supervisors should instruct the measurers to begin the measurements following the pre-established sequence. The measurer carefully conducts the measurements and clearly records in ink the results on the anthropometric standardization form (MY MEASURE column) next to the child’s identification number. The measurers remain with the child until the supervisor instructs them to move. Once results are recorded, corrections are not allowed. When all the measurers have conducted their measurements, the supervisor should instruct them to move to next child following the numerical order and requests that they wait for instructions to begin the measurement. This process is repeated until all children have been weighed and measured by all the measurers. Use the same equipment to measure each child’s weight and stature. Measurers and assistants should rotate to conduct the measurement, but the equipment remains stationed next to each child. Only one pair of measurers should be with a child at any one time. Talking between measurer-pairs during this exercise is not allowed. The supervisor should take advantage of the standardization exercises to systematically observe each measurer’s performance using the Measurement Techniques Observation Form 3. This form contains a list of the most important steps of each measurement technique, that allows the supervisor to record if each step was completed appropriately, and to later discuss the results of these observations with the staff. 9. 85
