This form of reorganizing the education al system demands a distinct concept of evaluation from that of simple measure and its restricted use of decisions to fail or approve the student. It demands a proper logic of the system in grades. Thus, we tried to analyze the results, in the practical evaluation by the teacher, of the changes introduced in the system of learning evaluation developed in the first and second Formation Cycles in the State of Ceará. The theoretical foundation was based on studies carried out by authors dealing with school evaluation from a sociological vision. A methodological procedure of a qualitative nature was adopted through a case study at a selected school in Fortaleza. For the collection of data, a documentary analysis was used, as well as a direct observation and interviews with the principal, the pedagogical coordinator, the supervisor, four teachers of the observed groups and two coordinators from the State Secretariat of Education of Ceará - SEDUC. The results show that the conditions offered to the schools and to the teachers caused almost no alteration in the practical evaluation by the teachers. The preoccupation with grades demonstrates that the changes proposed by the official agency, are not occurring. Thus, the present evaluation is not correct, but selecting and rejecting the students / O presente trabalho tem como foco a avaliação escolar na organização do ensino em ciclos, implantado pela Secretaria da Educação Básica do Estado do Ceará (1998), como mecanismo para reverter a problemática da repetência, abandono escolar e distorção idade/série, na tentativa de resolver o antigo e grave fenômeno do fracasso escolar. Essa forma de reorganizar o ensino supõe um conceito de avaliação distinto da simples medida e de sua utilização restrita a decisões de aprovação ou reprovação do aluno, lógica própria do sistema seriado. Dessa forma, busca-se analisar a repercussão, na prática avaliativa do professor, das mudanças introduzidas na sistemática de avaliação da aprendizagem desenvolvida no primeiro e segundo Ciclos de Formação na rede estadual de ensino. A abordagem teórica pautou-se nos estudos realizados por autores que tratam da avaliação escolar na perspectiva sociológica. Adotou-se um procedimento metodológico de natureza qualitativa, por meio do estudo de caso em uma escola da rede pública estadual localizada em Fortaleza. Para a coleta de dados utilizou-se análise documental, a observação direta e entrevistas semi-estruturadas realizadas com a diretora, a coordenadora pedagógica, a supervisora, quatro professoras das turmas observadas e com duas coordenadoras da SEDUC. Os resultados mostram que, dadas as condições oferecidas às escolas e aos professores, a prática avaliativa exercida pelas professoras pouco sofreu alteração em relação à mudança na função que a avaliação historicamente exerceu na escola. A permanência da centralidade na nota demonstra que as mudanças propostas pelo órgão oficial, quanto à concepção de avaliação, não estão ocorrendo. Dessa forma, a avaliação praticada, não está cumprindo o papel de formadora e de não seletiva e excludente

Theoretical-empirical work is focused on innovation education with using cooperative learning. The theme of labour is evaluation in cooperative learning and his specifics. The theoretical part is devoted to the description of cooperative learning, school rating and especially the evaluation of cooperative activities. The empirical part is a report from the action research of own lessons at the second level of elementary school, describes the transformation of teaching by introducing work in cooperative groups and monitors pupils' involvement in teaching in relation to the evaluation criteria. Part of the research is an analysis of pupils' self-image and a reflection of cooperative activities.

Um den Anforderungen an eine inklusive Gesellschaft und der Etablierung eines inklusiven Bildungssystems in Sachsen gerecht werden zu können, unterstützen seit dem Schuljahr 2016/2017 Inklusionsassistenten bereits bestehende schulische Inklusionsprozesse an sächsischen Schulen. Mit dieser Maßnahme sollen Schüler mit sonderpädagogischem Förderbedarf eine zusätzliche, individuell ausgerichtete Unterstützung erhalten. Die Professur für Allgemeine und Biopsychologie der Technischen Universität Chemnitz hatte die Aufgabe, das sächsische Vorhaben umfassend zu analysieren. Im Fokus stand insbesondere die inhaltliche Ausrichtung und deren Auswirkung auf die Ziele und Effektivität des Gesamtprogramms. Im vorliegenden Endbericht werden die zentralen Ergebnisse dieser fünfjährigen wissenschaftlichen Begleitung zusammenfassend dargestellt und Handlungsempfehlungen zur Weiterentwicklung des Einsatzes von Inklusionsassistenten an sächsischen Schulen abgeleitet. / To meet the requirements of an inclusive society and to establish an inclusive education system in Saxony, inclusion assistants have been supporting existing school inclusion processes in Saxonian schools since the 2016/17 school year. This project has aimed at providing pupils with special educational needs with additional, individually tailored support. It has been the task of our team (the team of General Psychology & Biopsychology at the Technical University of Chemnitz) to analyze the Saxonian project comprehensively. More specifically, the various contents and their impact on the objectives and effectiveness of the overall program have been investigated. Within this final report, the key results of this five-year scientific monitoring are summarized. Recommendations for further development of this and related programs are derived.

A number of educational reform initiatives are being introduced in South Africa to address the imbalances of the past. Schools with different backgrounds are expected to implement these reform initiatives. Due to their diverse contexts, schools approach, interpret and implement these initiatives differently. Consequently, these schools demonstrate different attitudes towards these initiatives. Whole-school evaluation is one of these reform initiatives. As a result of the changes taking place in the education system in South Africa, roles performed by all stakeholders in the education system have also been affected. Since the principal is fully responsible for the proper functioning of the school, this study explored his/her managerial role in whole-school evaluation, particularly within the context of disadvantaged schools/communities. It examines how educational changes impact on the roles of the principal, particularly the principal of a disadvantaged school. The study includes a literature review from local and international perspectives of whole-school evaluation, the managerial role of the principal and disadvantaged schools/communities. A qualitative investigation of the managerial role of the principal in whole-school evaluation in the context of disadvantaged schools in KwaZulu-Natal was conducted. Data were analysed, discussed and synthesised. The study revealed that whole-school evaluation is not fully being implemented. Shortage of supervisors in the province, lack of educator training, particularly of principals in whole-school evaluation and lack of support from the Department of Education, particularly District Offices, are regarded as the major factors that impede the proper implementation of whole-school evaluation. As a result principals are not certain about the roles they should play in whole-school evaluation. The study shows that findings and recommendations of the supervisors have not been addressed. This is attributed to the poor communication between the District Office and schools to address areas identified by schools in their improvement plans. What compounds the problem is that the role of the Circuit Office in whole-school evaluation is unclear. This has a bearing on the functioning of schools because the Circuit Office is closer to the schools and should, therefore, communicate with them regularly. Based on findings, recommendations for improving the role of the principal were proposed. / Educational Studies / D.Ed. (Education Management)

This study encompasses a reflection of the way back at the beginning of the democratic South Africa when there was an immense yearning for a curriculum which could transform the education system in South Africa into a new national system for schools. After numerous attempts, in search of a tangible, user-friendly curriculum, Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) was finally brought forth and at the moment, it is regarded as being the turning point of our education system and also geared at promoting the highest possible standard of education in all schools in South Africa. This study investigates some problems experienced at the apex of the management and implementation of CAPS, especially in some schools in rural areas. It focuses on some of the drawbacks which are putting a strain on the smooth running of schools during these prime stages of curriculum implementation such as disciplinary problems, overcrowded classes, large workloads for educators, the gap between well-resourced and under resourced schools as well as non-delivery of textbooks to schools in some provinces. This study examines how school management teams (SMTs), imbued with management and leadership responsibilities are able to put up systems that will ensure that evaluation, assessment and monitoring tools are utilised effectively in support of teaching and learning in schools. It is against this background that this study is therefore informed and guided by the instructional leadership paradigm which, if correctly engaged, can effectively strengthen curriculum management and implementation. For the purpose of conducting empirical research, the mixed method design was used as it offers a wider scope of collecting data and promotes triangulation. Six schools were selected on the basis of proximity to the school I am attached to, two primary schools and four secondary schools. All these were done after having obtained ethical clearance with the College of Education at Unisa and permission from the Limpopo Department of Education. Questionnaires were distributed to all educators in the six schools to fill, while one-to-one interviews were conducted with the principals of each of the six selected schools. The research highlighted that instructional leadership is critical in the implementation of CAPS with the SMTs members affirming their commitment to various aspects of instructional leadership. Furthermore, the findings also affirmed the opportunities that shared leadership offered schools to share moral purpose. However, the findings also enumerate lack of resources, lack of curriculum knowledge and larger workloads of teachers as crucial factors that inhibit the implementation of CAPS. As a result of this research, a number of recommendations and opportunities for further research are offered to Limpopo schools and their SMTs, the systemic authorities responsible for Limpopo Education and for those responsible specifically for policy making and curriculum development in the South African education system. / Educational Leadership and Management / D.

The students in both groups were acquainted with given criteria of assessment and final analysis of their work. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

With education at the centre of the South African government’s National Development Plan for 2030, an effective schooling system is not negotiable. A review of the literature showed that public schools in South Africa are self-managing. The performance of most of these schools are unsatisfactory with specific reference to academic performance, infrastructure, finances and resources. The review further revealed severe shortcomings with the use of the Integrated Quality Management System (IQMS) for school-based performance management. This included that the IQMS is insufficient, that its application is ineffective and that it does not support school-based performance management. It is a compliance system and does not allow schools’ stakeholders the freedom to take part in designing their own strategy for the school. The researcher argues that self-managing schools link to the Participatory Democracy Theory that ensures the involvement of stakeholders. The IQMS however, links to Managerialism, rejecting stakeholders’ independence of self-management and decision-making. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a school-based performance management framework for public schools in South Africa. Specific attention was given to the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) as a theoretical framework for its flexibility to accommodate diverse organisations. The BSC was placed in the Evolutionist theories under the Resource-Based View (RBV) approach, focussing on the uniqueness of organisations’ tangible or intangible resources. The researcher argued that a combination of the IQMS and the BSC might close the theoretical gap and contribute to school-based performance management in self-managing public schools. A qualitative research paradigm, embedded in the interpretivism philosophy, guided this study. A Design-Based Research (DBR) method was followed to develop the framework. The first phase was to develop a preliminary framework, using the IQMS and BSC as existing theoretical frameworks. The second phase consisted of two iterative cycles of testing and refinement of the framework in practice. For both cycles, the researcher conducted semi-structured interviews with the school’s principal, one member of the school’s governing body and one member of the school’s management team of the four selected schools. The third phase was a reflection on the design process to enhance the application of the framework. / College of Accounting Sciences / D. Compt.

Diplomová práce "Jedličkova základní škola - integrace versus inkluze" pojednává o Jedličkově základní škole, jejích klientech, zaměstnancích a situaci ve škole jako takové, a principech, které se aplikují či neaplikují v rámci integrace a inkluze. Tato práce je hlavně zaměřena na fungování školy a vzdělávání v ní. Dále se věnuje problematice integrace a inkluze jakkoliv handicapovaných osob, a to především počátku jejich integrace do většinové společnosti v ČR, čímž je myšleno vzdělávání a výchova nejen handicapovaných, ale také většinové společnosti. Odrazovým můstkem této práce je průzkum v těchto osmi okruzích: - Zaměstnání v Jedličkově základní škole - Spolupráce zaměstnanců v Jedličkově základní škole - Práce s klienty - Péče o klienty - Hodnocení, známkování a profilování klienta - Sponzorování a rozvoj Jedličkovy základní školy - Integrace - Inkluze Tento průzkum, ve kterém se snažím především sama přicházet na nedostatky a pozitiva takto v průběhu několika let fungující instituce ukazuje, že prvotní cíl průzkumu zjistit, jak probíhá vzdělávání a výchova dítěte v Jedličkově základní škole v průběhu několika ročníků, je takřka nemožné z důvodu personálních změn v pedagogickém sboru v posledních letech. Z těchto důvodů došlo v roce 2014 ke změně původního průzkumného cíle s názvem "Vývoj a postup...
