School Effectiveness and School Change in Developing Countries: Example Cape Verde

Reviere, Rodney 16 July 2004 (has links)
Education in Cape Verde has come a long way since its humble colonial beginnings with the opening of the first school in 1525. However, despite notable progress and the existence of some schools which are perceived to be superior, the quality of the education provided in the public school system is poor overall. Unfortunately the dearth of research on education in Cape Verde - and indeed the rest of the developing world - available to guide qualitative improvement forces school officials and change agents to use models from developed countries to guide change efforts. The purpose of this study is to examine the validity of that practice based on experiences accumulated during part of a seven year technical aid intervention.

Classroomlevel factors affecting mathematics achievement : a comparative study between South Africa and Australia using TIMSS 2003

Kunene, Looksmart Lucky Zamokuhle 24 June 2013 (has links)
The purpose of the study was to explore and compare key classroom level factors affecting mathematics learner achievement for South Africa and Australia. The study focused in the classroom where teaching and learning takes place. This is a secondary analysis of classroom level factors influencing Grade 8 mathematics learner achievement using the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2003. TIMSS 2003 was chosen because it was the latest international study available to measure trends in mathematics learner achievement, where South Africa had participated. Quantitative research approach was employed and a survey research method was used which seeks, among others, to explore relationships and patterns. Survey research method was suitable to provide data that responded to the research questions. The data collection in South Africa and Australia was conducted in October-December 2002 as both countries are located in the Southern Hemisphere. The sample for South Africa consisted of 255 schools with 100% coverage and stratification done by a total of nine provinces, and language. This resulted in 8952 learners tested across the provinces (Joncas, 2004, p. 212). For Australia, the sample consisted of 207 schools with 100% coverage and stratification done by a total of 8 States and Territories and school type. This resulted in 4791 learners participating in the study. The sample included teachers of learners who were selected to participate in the TIMSS 2003 study for South Africa and Australia. The intended target was teachers of all learners at the end of their eight year of schooling. For each participating school, a single mathematics class was sampled and the mathematics teacher of the selected class was asked to complete a mathematics questionnaire. Mathematics teachers of sampled learners responded to questions about teaching emphasis on the topics in the curriculum frameworks, instructional practices, professional training and education and their views on mathematics. The mathematics teacher questionnaire was designed to take about 45 minutes to complete The main question for this study was “What are the key classroom factors that influence learner performance in mathematics?” The three sub questions for the study were: What key variables on classroom level are related to learner achievement in mathematics for South Africa? What key variables on classroom level are related to learner achievement in mathematics for Australia? How do the classroom level factors in mathematics performance of South Africa compare with classroom level factors in Australia? The conceptual framework for the study stressed classroom level factors including instructional quality, which includes teacher background factors, classroom climate, teaching requirements and mathematics curriculum. The framework describes the factors related to classroom interactions within the comprehensive education system, with regard to inputs – process – outputs – outcomes. The selection of variables for the inclusion in the models was guided by the conceptual framework and extensive preliminary analyses. Preliminary statistical analyses included exploring descriptive statistics, Varimax factor analysis, reliability, correlation analysis and stepwise multiple regression analysis. The results of the study indicate that several specific classroom level factors were associated with the higher levels of mathematics achievement of South Africa and Australia. The results for the final South African model were: age of teacher; years been teaching; outside school day grading tests; outside school day other; and computer shortage were identified to predict learner achievement. For Australia ten classroom factors, namely, teacher perception of school climate; teacher perception of school safety; teacher emphasis on mathematics homework; teacher repeat mathematics limiting factors; homework contribute towards learning; work conditions; unhappy learners; shortage of instructional equipment; geometric shapes; and algebraic functions were identified to predict learner achievement. South Africa has factors like teacher background and outside school activities by the teacher. Australia has factors like classroom climate, work conditions and curriculum quality. In the light of schools effectiveness research and school improvement research, a comparative study like this one would require more than one level (classroom level), two or three levels would have been ideal to draw other variables and enrich the analysis, especially the learner level and school level. School effectiveness places an emphasis on the ability and social background of the learners as factors that shape academic performance / Dissertation (MEd)--University of Pretoria, 2011. / Science, Mathematics and Technology Education / unrestricted

Rektors roll i skolframgång vid låga kunskapsresultat : En kritisk diskursanalys av rektorers relation till skolframgång i socioekonomiskt svaga miljöer

Simonsson, Marcus January 2022 (has links)
2021 utkom Skolinspektionen med rapporten Långvarigt låga kunskapsresultat – Grundskolor som under 10 år haft en hög andel elever utan godkända betyg i alla ämnen. Svensk skola har sedan 1990-talet genomgått en decentralisering och marknadsanpassning. Under samma tid har skolsegregationen i Sverige ökat, skolorna har blivit mer homogena och resultatskillnaderna mellan skolor har ökat. Skolorna i Skolinspektionens rapport har i jämförelse med hela riket en högre andel elever vars föräldrar har låg utbildningsbakgrund, en högre andel elever med utländsk bakgrund samt en högre andel nyinvandrade elever. I denna studie sätts rektors roll och arbete i relation till Skolinspektionens rapport om låga kunskapsresultat. Intervjuer har genomförts med sex rektorer på skolor som finns med i rapporten och intresset har riktats mot deras subjektiva bild av sin skolas resultat, utveckling och framgång. Studien pekar på hur Skolinspektionens och tidigare forsknings diskurs kring skolframgång marginaliseras på skolor med komplext kompensatoriskt uppdrag genom att just dessa skolor påverkas i stor utsträckning av diskurser kring segregation och resultatstyrning av skolan. Studien har fokus på hur rektorer i dessa utsatta skolor erbjuds en rekontextualiserad subjektsposition i sin yrkesroll som marginaliserar Skolinspektionens skolframgångsdiskurs. / In 2021 the Swedish Schools Inspectorate published a report Schools with prolonged low results – Compulsory schools that during 10 years have high proportion of students without passing grades in all subjects (com. author´s translation).  The Swedish school have since the 1990´s passed through a great decentralization and market adjustment. During the same years school segregation in Sweden has increased, the schools have become more homogeneous and the differences in results between schools have increased. The schools in the report of the Swedish Schools Inspectorate have compared to all Swedish schools a higher proportion of students with parents with low level of education, a higher proportion of students with foreign lineage and a higher proportion of student newly arrived to Sweden. In this study the role and work of principals are put in relation to the Swedish Schools Inspectorate´s report about prolonged low results. Interviews have been held with six principals of schools from the report and the interest which is pointed is their subjective description of their schools results, development and improvement.  This study points how the discourse of school improvement of the Swedish Schools Inspectorate and previous research is marginalized at schools with a complex compensatory mission by that they are affected by discourses about segregation and results management of school. The study is focusing on how principals at schools in social-economic fragile areas is offered a recontextualized position as subject in their work that marginalize the Swedish Schools Inspectorate´s discourse of school improvement.

[pt] EFICÁCIA E EQUIDADE ESCOLAR: UM ESTUDO EM ESCOLAS COM ALUNOS BENEFICIÁRIOS DO PROGRAMA BOLSA FAMÍLIA NO ESTADO DE MATO GROSSO DO SUL / [en] SCHOOL EFFECTIVENESS AND EQUITY: A STUDY IN SCHOOLS WITH BENEFICIARY STUDENTS OF BOLSA FAMÍLIA PROGRAM IN MATO GROSSO DO SUL STATE

ANA CAROLINA PONTES COSTA 10 September 2019 (has links)
[pt] Em 2003 o governo brasileiro lançou o Programa Bolsa Família (PBF), que objetivou garantir a superação da pobreza e pobreza extrema, através da transferência de renda mensal às famílias em situação de vulnerabilidade e pobreza no país. O programa transfere, atualmente, um recurso mensal a 14 milhões de famílias que, em contrapartida, precisam obrigatoriamente matricular os filhos de 6 a 17 anos nas escolas de Educação Básica e garantir a frequência escolar acima de 85 por cento, para alunos de 6 a 15 anos, e de 75 por cento para alunos de 16 a 17 anos, além de outras condicionalidades. Esta pesquisa objetivou compreender algumas das características institucionais e pedagógicas de escolas do estado de Mato Grosso do Sul (MS) que apresentam, simultaneamente, duas condições: têm, sistematicamente, resultados positivos nas avaliações nacionais, e concentram um número significativo de alunos beneficiários do Programa Bolsa Família (PBF). Para tanto, este estudo adotou uma abordagem qualitativa. Inicialmente, foi calculado, para as escolas públicas municipais e estaduais do estado, um índice através de regressão linear clássica que, após o controle das características socioeconômicas dos alunos, composição social da escola em razão da concentração de alunos do PBF, proficiência média e distribuição nas faixas de desempenho da Prova Brasil, identificou 14 escolas que se sobressaíram entre as mais de 1900 escolas do estado. Destas, foram selecionadas para este estudo quatro escolas, em dois municípios distintos. Aquelas que produziram os melhores resultados, analisando também questões relacionadas à equidade, foram investigadas in loco na busca da compreensão do que fazem estas escolas para minimizar o peso da origem social dos estudantes. Assim, fatores como condições de gestão, liderança, clima interno da escola, prática pedagógica, prestígio escolar, relação família-escola-PBF, foram investigados, por meio de uma pesquisa de campo que envolveu observações do contexto escolas e da sala de aula, e também entrevistas semiestruturadas com diretores, coordenadores, professores, alunos e famílias beneficiárias dos municípios e escolas selecionadas. O conjunto de escolas que participou da pesquisa apresenta como traço comum o fato de ter resultados positivos e mais homogêneos apesar de atender alunos pobres e em situação de vulnerabilidade social. Afora essa característica mais geral, o conjunto das escolas investigadas comporta, deliberadamente, uma grande diversidade. Nele, há escolas rurais e urbanas, municipais e estadual, localizadas em cidades consideradas de grande e de pequeno porte. Essa diversidade responde pelo interesse em conhecer, para além de características comuns às quatro escolas, um repertório mais amplo de fatores e práticas promotoras de eficácia e de equidade escolar em contextos que apresentam desafios institucionais, de funcionamento e espaciais específicos. Entre as características que estão presentes no conjunto de escolas, os resultados da pesquisa permitem destacar: i. gestão com ênfase pedagógica, exercida pelo diretor, ou delegada aos coordenadores; ii. clima escolar positivo promovido pelos diretores e expresso na satisfação com o trabalho de diretores, coordenadores, professores e no reconhecimento do trabalho da equipe escolar por famílias e alunos; iii. relações harmoniosas e respeitosas com os alunos; iv. ênfase nos processos de aprendizagem, com atividades diversificadas; v. acompanhamento do trabalho pedagógico dos professores pelos coordenadores; vi. prestígio institucional das escolas, propiciado por altas notas no IDEB, pela disciplina escolar e pela qualidade do ensino e dos profissionais; vii. relação família-escola, com pais que se sentem ouvidos pelas instituições, demonstram interesse na escola, e estão alinhados às expectativas de participação da equipe escolar. A principal diferença entre essas escolas está relacionada como formas seletivas de enturmação dos alunos, que tipicamente contribuem para a manutenção das desigualdades educacionais e sociais. / [en] In 2003 the Brazilian government introduced Bolsa Família (Family Grant) Program (PBF), which intended to guarantee the overcoming of poverty and extreme poverty by a monthly transfer of income to the families in situation of vulnerability and poverty in the country. Currently, the program transfers a monthly resource to 14 million families, which in return must enroll their children between 6 and 17 years old in Elementary and Secondary Schools and ensure a school attendance up to 85 percent of students from 6 to 15 years, and 75 percent for students from 16 to 17, besides other conditionalities. This research aimed to understand some of the schools institutional and pedagogical features of Mato Grosso do Sul state, that present, simultaneously, two conditions: have systematically positive results in national assessments, and concentrate a significant number of beneficiary students from Bolsa Família Program (PBF). Therefore, this study adopted a qualitative approach. Initially, an index through a classic linear regression was calculated for the municipal and state public schools of Mato Grosso do Sul, which, after the controlling of students socioeconomic characteristics, the school social composition due to the concentration of students from PBF, average proficiency and distribution in the performance levels of Prova Brasil (Brazil assessment), identified 14 schools that stand out among more than 1,900 schools in the state. From these, fours schools were selected in two different municipalities. Those who presented better results, also analyzing issues related to equity, were investigated in loco in the pursuit of understanding what these schools do to minimize the weight of the students social background. Thus, the criteria of management, leadership, the school internal environment, pedagogical practice, family-school-PBF were investigated, through a field research, observing the school and the classroom, and using semi-structured interviews with directors, coordinators, teachers, students and beneficiary families of the selected municipalities and schools. The group of schools that participated in the research has in common the fact of having positive and more homogeneous results despite attending poor students and students in situations of social vulnerability. Apart from this more general characteristic, the whole of schools investigated deliberately contains a great diversity. In this group, there is rural and urban schools, municipal and state, located in big and small cities. This diversity responds to the interest in knowing, in addition to common characteristics to the four schools, a wide repertoire of factors and practices that promote efficacy and school equity in circumstances that present specific institutional, operational and spatial challenges. Among the characteristics that are present in the group of schools, the results of the research allow highlighting: i. management with pedagogical emphasis, exercised by the director, or delegated to the coordinators; ii. positive school environmet promoted by directors and expressed in satisfaction with the work of directors, coordinators, teachers and recognition of the work of the school team by families and students; iii. harmonious and respectful relationships with students; iv. emphasis on learning processes, with diversified activities; v. monitoring of teachers pedagogical work by coordinators; vi. institutional prestige of schools, promoted by high grades in the IDEB, school discipline and teaching and professionals quality; vii. family-school relationship, with parents who feel heard by the institutions, show interest in the school, and are aligned with the expectation of school team participation. The main difference between these schools is related as selective forms of student interaction, which typically contribute to the maintenance of educational and social inequalities.

The role of secondary school principals in motivating teachers in the Flacq district of Mauritius

Belle, Louis Jinot 30 November 2007 (has links)
From the wave of policy reforms of the new Minister of Education and Human Resources for a "World Class Quality Education", stakeholders have been ascribing the poor quality of learner performance to a lack of motivated teachers. This study focuses on the factors that impact on teacher motivation in the Flacq district of Mauritius and on the role of the principal in enhancing teacher motivation. An empirical investigation based on qualitative research was conducted following the literature study on these two themes. Motivational factors pertain to the school-based personal and professional needs of the teacher. Due to centralised school governance and instructional leadership tasks being delegated to the School Management Team, principals are not effective teacher motivators. Recommendations relate to transformational, distributive and participatory leadership strategies for optimal instructional principalship. / Educational Leadership and Management / M. Ed.

A school development plan : the role of the school head in Botswana

Moswela, Bernard 05 1900 (has links)
The study was carried out to investigate the role of the secondary school head in Botswana in respect to four themes, namely: staff development; classroom supervision; school culture building; and conflict management. Basically, school development planning was defined as a strategy that can be employed to improve the teaching and learning processes. This could be achieved by on-going staff development programmes that equip staff with new knowledge and new classroom teaching techniques. Details of strategies that could be used to achieve this were examined and discussed in this thesis. Two chapters of the literature review were made in this thesis. Chapter II (Part I) made a direct link between the literature review and the research questions on the main topic of this thesis. Chapter III (Part II) on the other hand provided, a comparative analysis of school development planning between Botswana (as the focal point) and the United Kingdom and Australia (as examples). The analysis was concerned with three issues of: human capacity; budget allocation and its control; and accountability. The inclusion of this second chapter on the literature analysis was to add weight and to raise the analytical standard of the thesis. Closed responses and open-ended questionnaires were used to gather data. A total of 60 respondents comprising heads and teachers from 10 junior and five senior secondary schools participated in the investigation. Summaries of the findings from both the empirical and theoretical components for each of the themes are that: • There cannot be development without developing the developer. • Classroom supervision is essential because it provides the basis for staff development and subsequently improved teaching. • School development planning must be a staff co-operative effort leading to the formation of a sustainable school culture of working teams. • Conflict is always there in organizations, what is important , however, is for the administrator to manage it such that it benefits the organization. Basically, the empirical and theoretical components, supported each other on the majority of issues. The United Kingdom and Australia, being developed countries, do not experience the problems of funding, staffing, and other supportive resources to effectively implement school development planning to the extent of Botswana. / Educational Leadership and Management / D.
