Download or read book Self regulation in Higher Education written by H. R. Kells and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing importance is being attached to the concept of quality assurance and control. This new book describes the development and evolution of several major forms of regulatory systems for higher education on both sides of the Atlantic, with particular emphasis on the increasingly complex and self-regulatory intentions and characteristics. It focuses primarily on the nature and development of evaluation systems as they are experienced in the wider concept of regulation - their attributes, strengths, limits and how they can be improved. It analyses the patterns that are emerging, the apparent national determinants and the critical relationships between purposes and means in the systems. The book is intended both as a reference source and as a guide for policy-makers in institutions, collaborative organizations and in governments seeking to consider the possibilities of self-regulation in higher education. It aims to help achieve the potential benefits of such systems, including the preservation of universities and their autonomy amid the considerable and understandable pressures to make them more effective and efficient.

Book excerpt: Trusting Schools and Teachers: Developing Educational Professionalism Through Self-Evaluation emerged from a series of studies undertaken with teachers at various stages of their careers exploring the impact of a range of evaluation systems on their personal and professional development. The book begins with a comparative analysis of the rise of school and teacher evaluation, charting the trend's conceptual and political influences, and highlights how the concept of self-evaluation has come, for a variety of reasons, to play a surprisingly large role in the emerging approaches to school and teacher evaluation. This is illustrated by a detailed analysis of the emerging system of whole-school evaluation in Ireland. Research indicates that while self-evaluation looms large in the system's theoretical framework, in fact, there is strong evidence that neither schools nor teachers have the expertise required to systematically self-evaluate. This book identifies methodologies designed to empower schools and teachers to become genuinely self-evaluating through the development of research skills in the context of online communities of practice.
Download or read book Self Evaluation in European Schools written by Lars Jakobsen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a political and economic climate in which school performance is made public, performance tables and inspectors' reports can only tell a partial story. This is a unique book. It tells the story of one school seen through the eyes of a pupil, a parent, a teacher, a headteacher and a critical friend. The story is a compelling journey through the process of school improvement; theories of school effectiveness and school improvement are progressively clarified. This book is based on a well-known and well-documented research project that represents eighteen European countries, which clearly sets it in a European Policy context. It includes a wealth of practical tools for raising standards for teachers and school managers to refer to, and guidance on how to use them. This eagerly awaited follow-up to Schools Must Speak for Themselves by John MacBeath (RoutledgeFalmer 1999) is a vital and useful source of good ideas, challenging insights and practical strategies for real schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dawn of the Democratic South Africa has seen a lot of practices, especially in the Education System being shelved or set aside. The main problem was that these practices were associated with the unpleasant past. The institution's performance based on academic achievements of learners or externally evaluated work. Over the period of time, it has since been established that school is not about external factors like matriculation results and so on. Many countries like England relied heavily on external evaluations of schools and to that effect, bodies OFSTED and HMI were established to ensure that there was provision or quality education as the state invested a lot of money in it. Researchers show that it did not work nor provide solutions to the problem of Quality Assurance within the education systems because such evaluations were externally imposed. A school as an institution of learning is a very complex environment with a population of diverse groups of people, e.g. staff, SMT, SGB, parents and the greater community. All these people are important role-players who should be taken on board if the system is to succeed and the emphasis is more on participatory and collaborative relationship in order to build a relevant quality education. Institutional Evaluation seems to be a more comprehensive way of ensuring efficiency and effectiveness in schools. Whereas policies on education are externally imposed by law-makers, the real implementation rests with the school itself. No one, even a diligent inspector or supervisor can probably know as much about the school than its own management, educators, learners and parents of the learners. The school management team is the most relevantly placed to ensure that the school's vision, mission, aims and objectives are realized through interaction and evaluation of the systems and procedures they have put in place to make sure that there is delivery of quality teaching and learning. The other aspects of Evaluation within schools is that many resolutions have been negotiated in the ELRC, e.g. Development Appraisal System (Resolution No. 4 of 1998) and Performance Measurement Development System (PMDS) with the aim of determining strengths and weaknesses in educators, and more importantly, salary progression and affirmation of appointments and recognizing excellence through National Teaching Awards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education is a hot topic. From the stage of presidential debates to tonight's dinner table, it is an issue that most Americans are deeply concerned about. While there are many strategies for improving the educational process, we need a way to find out what works and what doesn't work as well. Educational assessment seeks to determine just how well students are learning and is an integral part of our quest for improved education. The nation is pinning greater expectations on educational assessment than ever before. We look to these assessment tools when documenting whether students and institutions are truly meeting education goals. But we must stop and ask a crucial question: What kind of assessment is most effective? At a time when traditional testing is subject to increasing criticism, research suggests that new, exciting approaches to assessment may be on the horizon. Advances in the sciences of how people learn and how to measure such learning offer the hope of developing new kinds of assessments-assessments that help students succeed in school by making as clear as possible the nature of their accomplishments and the progress of their learning. Knowing What Students Know essentially explains how expanding knowledge in the scientific fields of human learning and educational measurement can form the foundations of an improved approach to assessment. These advances suggest ways that the targets of assessment-what students know and how well they know it-as well as the methods used to make inferences about student learning can be made more valid and instructionally useful. Principles for designing and using these new kinds of assessments are presented, and examples are used to illustrate the principles. Implications for policy, practice, and research are also explored. With the promise of a productive research-based approach to assessment of student learning, Knowing What Students Know will be important to education administrators, assessment designers, teachers and teacher educators, and education advocates.
Download or read book The Perfect Assessment System written by Rick Stiggins and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2017-03-24 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's time to move our assessment practices from the 1950s to the century we're living in. It's time to invest in our teachers and local school leaders instead of in more tests. It's time to help all students understand how to unleash their strengths and gain a sense of themselves as learners capable of choosing their own paths to success. In The Perfect Assessment System, Rick Stiggins calls for the ground-up redevelopment of assessment in U.S. education. Speaking from more than 40 years of experience in the field—and speaking for all learners who hope to succeed, the teachers who want them to succeed, and the local school leaders whose aspirations for success have been thwarted by assessment traditions—Stiggins maps out the adjustments in practice and culture necessary to generate both accurate accountability data and the specific evidence of individual mastery that will support sound instructional decision making and better learning in the classroom. He addresses Assessment purpose—how (and why) to clarify the reason for every assessment and the users it will serve. Learning targets to be assessed—how to make sure we focus on the right competencies and set consistent definitions of success. Assessment quality—how to ensure every assessment, at every level, is an excellent one. Communication of assessment results—how to share information in ways that best support diverse purposes. Assessment impact—how to link assessment to truly productive, universal student motivation. We have not yet begun to explore assessment's true potential to enhance both school quality and student well-being. Stiggins kicks off this critical conversation and charts a course for a new system that promises much higher levels of student success at a fraction of our current testing costs. The door is open for assessment reform; here is a bold plan for getting it right.
