Establishing a knowledge base for quality in education: testing a dynamic theory for education

Más información sobre el libro

European policies aim to foster a knowledge-based society, yet international studies highlight significant disparities in average achievement levels and the provision of equal opportunities for diverse student populations. This handbook offers schools evidence-based, theory-driven strategies to enhance educational quality. It provides guidelines for establishing School Self-Evaluation (SSE) mechanisms to assess school factors and identify improvement priorities. By leveraging the knowledge base of Educational Effectiveness Research (EER), schools can develop targeted strategies and action plans to address these priorities. The primary goal is to empower readers to utilize the EER knowledge base flexibly when facing various challenges, enabling them to design, implement, and evaluate effective policies and action plans aimed at promoting educational quality. The contributors include experts such as Bert Creemers, Leonidas Kyriakides, and many others, each bringing valuable insights to the discussion. This resource serves as a practical guide for educators seeking to enhance their approaches to educational improvement and ensure equitable opportunities for all students.
