Quality teaching and learning in rural primary school : how teachers and school managers manage with quality teaching and learning in three rural primary schools in KwaZulu-Natal.

Kebeje, Allie Alfred. January 2004 (has links)
This research presents an understanding of the experiences of school managers and teachers who manage evaluate teaching and learning in rural primary schools. In documenting their experiences I composed an analytical description which explores managers' leadership choices and teachers instructional decisions (the support and accountability) measures, which characterize the responsibilities managers and school teachers engage with in their positions within the context of rural schools. In collecting data from the rural primary schools in KZN within the case study approach I employed a diverse range of research instruments and data production process. Through an analysis of selected documents, questionnaires administered to teachers and interviews conducted with a small sample of school managers and teachers I was able to make school meaning of how teachers and school managers manage teaching and learning in three rural primary schools. Emerging along two levels, leadership support and teacher accountability this research identifies particular interests and practices both teachers and managers enact out in their daily responsibility as educators. In particular I show what happens beyond accountability and support, within spaces where power relations between managers and teachers are exercised in different ways to create an educational climate appropriate for better ways of teaching and learning. Managing teaching and learning by school managers and teachers lies in their ability to engage collectively in particular practices within the rural schooling context. While teachers and managers occupied specific responsibility in their respective positions within the hierachical structures prevelant in schools, teachers and managers in these rural schools are able to move beyond' the levels creating spaces where different possibilities for change can happen personal, professional and communal. In this study creating more spaces for professional, personal and communal relations is what enables a better cultural climate conducive to school through which better ways for teaching and learning in rural schools can happen. / Thesis (M.Ed.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Westville, 2004.

Further education college quality systems : a framework of design principles for the development of teaching quality improvement processes

Albury, Steven William January 2014 (has links)
This research is a case study of the quality improvement process in an English further education college. It examines the way that staff involved in the design and operation of the quality system shape the process in a part of the education sector that struggles with issues of performance. The case is placed into the context of an unstable policy environment, where further education colleges have been subjected to frequent bouts of government intervention and a funding regime that is unfavourable when compared to secondary schools and universities. The contribution to knowledge of this thesis is that it addresses an under-researched area of further education by viewing the quality process from the perspective of the governors, managers and professional staff responsible for its design and operation. As such it addresses a problem where a lot of attention has been given to teaching staff who experience the quality process or to macro studies where the focus is on outputs in the sector. However, less attention has been paid to the governors, senior staff and quality teams who assess teaching and learning in colleges. The data for the case study were gathered over a two-year period between 2010-2012 and include interviews with college staff, senior staff from OFSTED and the Department for Business Innovation and Skills and staff from a second college, used to help verify the findings. In addition to this, documentation for the quality system was gathered including inspection documents and policy documents. The data were analysed in order to surface traits of social and organisational practice that address the problem of operating a quality system in an environment that is highly resistant to systemisation and predictability. The findings are presented as 'fuzzy' generalisations supplemented by guidance in the form of design principles. The thesis provides an empirically grounded description of key elements of the relationships and the surrounding sociotechnical system that were found in the case. The design principles augment the case study and provide guidance on how a combination of trust relationships, resilience of processes to disruption and flexibility of application provide a background for the quality improvement process at Stretchford College, which was rated as 'Outstanding' at the time of the research.

Revisiting the Lucas Model

Skritek, Bernhard, Crespo Cuaresma, Jesus, Kryazhimskii, Arkadii V., Prettner, Klaus, Prskawetz, Alexia, Rovenskaya, Elena 09 1900 (has links) (PDF)
We revisit the influential economic growth model by Lucas (1988) ["On the mechanics of economic development." Journal of Monetary Economics, 22(1):3-42], assuming that households optimally allocate consumption and education over the life-cycle given an exogenous interest rate and exogenous wages. We show that in such a partial equilibrium setting, the original two-state (physical capital and human capital) optimization problem can be decomposed into two single-state optimal control models. This transformation allows us to rigorously prove the existence of a singular control describing the allocation of education time along a balanced growth path. We derive a constructive condition for a singular control to exist and show that under this condition infinitely many singular controls are optimal in the individual household problem. In contrast to the original general equilibrium framework in which an agent always chooses part-time education and part-time work, in our framework such an agent might find it optimal to allocate her whole available time to education at the beginning of her life and to focus on labor supply only when she is older.

Disaggregating the Low-Fee Private Schooling System of Pakistan

Bajwa, Wajeeha January 2024 (has links)
The Low-Fee Private Schools (LFPS) sector is globally contested. The debate takes place at the academic and policy levels and calls into question the ethics of deriving a profit from a public good. Several theoretical constructs in educational privatization have informed the debate. These include contract failure, transaction costs, moral hazard, and the obsolescing bargain. Yet, the debate does not acknowledge LFPS types. To this end, the dissertation examined the histories and pathways of different types of LFPS, presented a typology, and investigated to what extent the numerous types of LFPS varied in terms of delivering access, equity, and quality of education. The theoretical framework framing this dissertation was centered on the six pathways to privatization. A case study design was applied to conduct exploratory, inductive research in two research sites—low-income and mixed-income neighborhoods in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. I first implemented a multi-tiered sampling strategy to identify LFPS. This involved conducting on-site school mapping to locate 87 educational institutions, including unregistered LFPS, in the research sites. I then identified 26 LFPS by forwarding a definition of LFPS in Pakistan and assessing which private educational institutions met the parameters of an LFPS. Among other elements, LFPS were defined as private educational institutions that charged a maximum of 24 USD a month in school fees. The data for the dissertation included site visits to, and surveys at 17 LFPS, 45 interviews at the school level, with Rawalpindi educational authority representatives as well as a multilateral agency. Finally, I reviewed 19,320 Facebook pictures uploaded by LFPS, and visually analyzed 1,343 to triangulate claims made in the surveys and interviews. Through this research design, LFPS that were differentiated on the parameters of structure—whether LFPS are part of nation-wide chains or independent entities that have a legacy rooted in the country’s colonial history—and fee range. I found six different types of LFPS: Cheap, Medium-range and Costly Independent LFPS and Cheap, Medium-range and Costly Chain LFPS. The established typology is generalizable to urban areas in Pakistan. An analysis of the histories and pathways of the identified LFPS further revealed that there was a proliferation of LFPS starting in 2004, particularly during two periods—2004 to 2007 and 2015 to 2019—under a supportive enabling environment. Chain LFPS types are competitors to Independent LFPS types in contexts in which they are able to proliferate, such as the mixed-income neighborhoods, where no Independent LFPS has been established since 2017. Path six—De facto privatization in low-income countries—was found to be applicable to Pakistan as the government did not patronize sectoral expansion, and until recently, did not undertake efforts to regulate it. Despite sectoral expansion in recent decades, a trade-off in access, equity, and quality of education at the different types of LFPS was found. If an LFPS enhances access and equity, which was found at Cheap Chain LFPS and Medium-range Chain LFPS, it comes at the expense of quality of education. If an LFPS delivers strongly on educational quality, which is the case as Medium-range and Costly Independent LFPS, it comes at the expense of quality of education.

The largest knowledge level on the disease and their complications are related the an improvement of the life quality, with reduction of the number of hypoglycemic crises, smaller number of internments hospital's, better metabolic control and larger acceptance of the disease. Like this, the objective of this research is to analyze the diabetic seniors' participation in education groups and control in a Basic Unit of the Program health of the Family. It was used to drive this study the descriptive research with quanti-qualitative approach, for considering that this method allows better understanding diabetic, so much in his/her complexity and specificity as in relation to the valorization in the autocare. The obtained results demonstrated that the diabetic seniors are among 60 to 79 years (73%), with female predominance (60%), 72% don't have knowledge of the existence of a group control and education in the basic unit that you/they frequent, (33%) they refer to participate more than 12 years in the group the, (83%) of those researched they know the disease, 58% get to maintain stable the glycemic, 59% referred other reasons for us not to check the glycemic, 93% answered that you/they make use do use of medication hypoglycemic, 65% of those researched don't participate in physical activities in group, 64% control the diabetes through the diet, 93% of those researched attend the consultations scheduling, 82% of those researched don't attend the group meetings controls accomplished by UBS, 86%, they understand and they follow the orientations for the control of the diabetes, 60% of those researched participate in the meetings in the group for us to learn more on the disease, 64% like more of receiving orientations, and 57% of the interviewees suggested the accomplishment of lectures explaining more on the disease. It is ended like this that is necessary that there are invigoration and enlargement of the education group in diabetes, in referred UBS, with views to motivate the patient and his/her family announce her indeed of him, through which you/they can elaborate and to solve the current problems of the diabetes / A educação em diabetes é parte imprescindível do tratamento do paciente, associado ao controle metabólico adequado, à atividade física e à dieta. O maior nível de conhecimento sobre a doença e suas complicações estão relacionadas a uma melhora da qualidade de vida, com redução do número de crises de hipoglicemia, menor número de internações hospitalares, melhor controle metabólico e maior aceitação da doença. Assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar a participação de idosos diabéticos em grupos de educação e controle em uma Unidade Básica do Programa Saúde da Família. Utilizou-se para conduzir este estudo a pesquisa descritiva com abordagem quanti-qualitativa, por considerar que este método permite melhor compreensão diabético, tanto em sua complexidade e especificidade quanto em relação à valorização no autocuidado. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que os idosos diabéticos estão entre 60 a 79 anos (73%), com predominância do sexo feminino (60%), 72% não têm conhecimento da existência de um grupo controle e educação na unidade básica que freqüentam, (33%) referem participar do grupo a mais de 12 anos, (83%) dos pesquisados conhecem a doença, 58% conseguem manter estável a glicemia, 59% referiram outros motivos para não aferirem a glicemia, 93% responderam que fazem uso fazem uso de medicação hipoglicemiante, 65% dos pesquisados não participam de atividades físicas em grupo, 64% costumam controlar o diabetes por meio da dieta, 93% dos pesquisados comparecem as consultas agendadas, 82% dos pesquisados não comparecem as reuniões de grupo controle realizadas pela UBS, 86%, compreendem e seguem as orientações para o controle do diabetes, 60% dos pesquisados participam das reuniões no grupo para aprenderem mais sobre a doença, 64% gostam mais de receber orientações, e 57% dos entrevistados sugeriram a realização de palestras explicando mais sobre a doença. Assim conclui-se que é necessário que haja fortalecimento e ampliação do grupo de educação em diabetes, na referida UBS, com vistas a motivar o paciente e sua família a participarem efetivamente dele, através do qual poderão elaborar e solucionar os problemas decorrentes do diabetes

Muito se tem discutido a respeito da sintonia de controladores PID, porém, a maioria, ainda, é utilizada em modo PI ou possuem parâmetros ajustados de forma inadequada, conduzindo a uma vida prematura dos atuadores e outros componentes do sistema. A teoria de controle já estuda controladores com algoritmo PID desde o início do século passado, sendo que diversos trabalhos comprovam a eficiência deste controlador em estruturas de controle clássicos e avançados. Apesar do controlador PID ser utilizado e estudado há muito tempo, o desempenho de malhas industriais não é satisfatório em muitos dos casos. Existem diversos critérios e índices de desempenho (IAE, ITAE, ISE, ITSE, Harris Index, tempo de estabilização, etc.) que permitem definir a eficiência de uma malha de controle. Apresenta-se neste trabalho um ambiente multifuncional, desenvolvido em C++, plataforma C++Builder, para sintonia e análise do desempenho de processos industriais simulados ou processos reais. Este ambiente pode também ser utilizado no treinamento de técnicos, operadores e engenheiros. / Industrial processes as well as the production based on the philosophy of quality assurance demand controllers that work facilities with their finely parameters, independent of the load situations and disturbances. A lot has been spoken regarding the PID controllers tuning, however, still, most is used in way PI or they possess adjusted parameters in an inadequate way, fomenting, like this, a premature life of the actuators and other components of the system. The control theory already studies controllers with PID algorithm since the beginning of last century, and several works prove controller PID’s efficiency for the classic and advanced control. In spite of PID controller to be used and studied at a long time, the acting of industrial loops is not satisfactory in many of the cases. Several criteria and acting indexes exist (IAE, ITAE,ISE, ITSE, Harris Índex, time of stabilization, etc.) that allow to define the efficiency of a control loop. Comes in this work an environment multifunctional, developed in C++, platform C++Builder, for tuning and analysis of acting of simulated industrial processes or real processes. This environment can also be used in the training of actual plant technical staff.

Scottish secondary education from a critical community psychological perspective : power, control and exclusion

Fox, Rachael January 2008 (has links)
This research examines problematic and taken for granted issues in Scottish Secondary Education, from a critical community psychological perspective. Young people are positioned as central to the research, in particular young people experiencing exclusion being the most disempowered group in education, and to fully understand problems they experience the thesis develops a standpoint with young people. Methodologically the research is grounded in a particular approach to praxis. Critical reflection, action and knowledge construction all influence one another cyclically in complex relationships, at times conflicting and at others developing together dialogically and these relationships are embraced and reflected upon carefully. Power and knowledge are viewed as being inextricably linked and knowledge, what is legitimated within a certain frame of reference as ‘truth’ or ‘reality’, is viewed as being constructed by dominant groups with the power to do so. Ethnography was carried out in three educational settings: a mainstream High School; a Special School in a city centre catering for young people experiencing exclusion; and a Youth Project where permanently excluded young people were on an alternative curriculum. Qualitative methods were used in a varied and tailored way for each setting and group of people and included Participatory Action Research and group work with young people, interview and group work with teachers, active participation in settings leading to fieldwork notes, and collection of textual information. Analysis involved careful examination of a wide variety of material, drawing on various methods of discourse analysis. The research material was analysed for the ways in which education made possible and placed limits on legislation, social practices, ways of speaking and ways of being. The assumption that adults must be in control of young people in education was found to be absolute and pervasive, stemming from societal ideas of young people, but also perpetuating them. This emerged throughout my research, from practices in mainstream school to ways of speaking available to adults and young people. Inclusion, while often spoken of in relation to equality and social justice, in practice is often conditional, and is re-positioned in this thesis as a form of control. School exclusion is often described in education as being expelled or suspended, but is repositioned in this research more generally as being excluded from learning and peers, and is argued as inherently problematic. Problematic, institutional, educational discourse is constructed as often placing limits on ways of speaking, such that critical reflection and action within secondary education becomes very difficult for adults and young people. Ways of speaking available to young people are examined and demonstrate that while education imposes particular ways of speaking and being, young people find opportunities to resist and reconstruct. Ways of being are examined, between adults and young people in educational settings, and an account of performance of resistance and compliance between young people and adults is developed. This research draws on a complex and multi disciplinary use of theory, literature, methodology and methods, and in doing so constructs an account of young people’s experiences in education that is based on a standpoint with young people. By grounding the research in the interests of young people, particularly those experiencing school exclusion, it challenges assumptions of dominance and control that have implications for education as a whole and all those operating within.

问责已经成为教育改革与研究的关键词。无论是西方还是中国,都把建立问责机制视作提高教育质量的重要举措。从教育问责的社会基础出发,国家是公共教育的主要资助者或协调者,他们通过教育视导来保证公共教育质量。但是教育视导人员在当下教育质量保障系统中发挥何种作用,其能动性与职业承诺如何,尚未有充分的研究。中国大陆的教研室作为地方教学质量保障机制,表现出双栖性的职能:教育问责和教师发展。身处其中的教研员如何诠释角色?他们与政府的关系如何,在多大程度上能致力于教师发展?身份建构理论有助于回答上述问题。故本研究以形态衍生理论为视角,选取H市教研员为个案,探讨其在教育质量保障体系中的角色、身份与能动性。 / 本项质性研究主要通过访谈、观察和文件收集获取资料。共计访谈教研员30名,教育行政领导3名,教师9人。研究者还参与了教研员的集体会议、听评课、教研组展示等活动,观察、记录了教研员的日常工作;并收集了教研员的工作计划,工作简报,教研室内部杂志等文献资料。在转录完所有资料后,利用Nvivo8软件进行编码、解码,建立群组、抽取概念,最终形成论文。研究发现如下: / 首先,监督、管理、指导、研究是教研员角色的主要组成部分。在公共教育发展的不同阶段,他们的角色应行政之要求会进行重新排列、组合,内涵也所有发展。其中,来源于优秀教师的教学质量保障人员最先发展起来的是指导职能,因其依附在教育视导系统内部,遂产生了行政权威。1949年之后,这类人员从教育视导系统中独立出来,被称之为教研员,享有行政编制;1990年之后,教研员逐渐从行政编制中退出,教学管理职能未褪,故行政权威犹存。课改背景之下,H市教研员的“研究、“评价职能被强调。但是通过对教研员的工作节奏、角色比喻的分析,发现结构并没有为发展教研员的“教学研究能力提供支持性条件。故行政干预成为教研员角色异化的重要原因。 / 其次,在课程改革背景下,教研员的社会身份表现出问责导向的特征。因个人关注的介入,在个体层面,教研员的身份建构可进一步区分为四种类型。身份建构表现为结构关注的教研员,实践中以完成各类“课题研究和“项目研究为重任,并从中获得价值认可,对自我的判断是“做研究的人。身份建构表现为结构关注为主,个人关注为辅的教研员,认为最重要的工作应该是教材分析,但实践中花费其时间最多的却实命题工作。他对自己的比喻是“尴尬的“稻草人。身份建构表现为个人关注为辅,结构关注为主的教研员一方面能在实践中坚持自己对教师的指导,一方面明晰问责导向的工作逻辑,并达到两者的融洽。对自我的评价是“一个风风火火的闯将。身份建构表现为个人关注的教研员应付问责导向的工作,并花费额外的时间从事教师指导。从教师的认可中获得职业的成就感。对自我的判断是职场“菜鸟。 / 再次,不同学科教研员受考试、经验的影响,表现出不同程度的能动作用。高利益考试蕴含的控制性并不能直接决定教研员的能动性,但是教研员的知能水平,及其结构的支持程度,对教研员的能动性和承诺有直接的影响。教研员要致力于教师发展,需兼顾结构的需求,并从中获得个人的成长或者结构的奖励,方能形成稳定的职业承诺。 / 论文弥补了现有教育质量保障人员研究的不足。从结构与能动者互动的理论视角,分析教研员何以呈现如此的身份建构,对Archer的形态衍生理论做了本土的探索,对西方教育领导理论有所回应。并对教研员的定位与发展提出了政策建议。 / Accountability has become the key word in educational reform and educational studies. In western countries as well as China, establishing accountability mechanisms is regarded as an important strategy for the improvement of educational quality. The state, which is the main sponsor and coordinator of public education, attempts to ensure educational quality with varying degrees of supervision. However empirical studies on the role, functions and performance of those who are in charge of supervision, agency in and commitment to quality assurance system are also nebulous. Teaching-research office, a local quality assurance mechanism for teaching and learning in Mainland China, plays a dual role in education accountability and teacher development. How do teaching-research officers elaborate their prescribed roles? What is the relationship between the government and the teaching-research officers? To what extent are they committed to teacher development? Identity construction theory is helpful to addressing the above questions. Therefore, from the perspective of morphogenesis, this study chooses teaching-research officers of H city as a case of investigation by exploring their roles, identities and agency in the educational quality assurance system. / The data of this qualitative research were collected through the adoption of three research methods. First, interviews were conducted with 30 teaching-research officers, 9 teachers and 3 educational administrators. Second, with permission, teaching-research officers’ meetings, as well as class observation and demonstration conducted by teaching-research officers were observed first hand. Third, relevant documents including official newsletters and work plans, internal journals of teaching research offices were collected. Nvivo 8 was adopted to analyze the interview transcripts, field notes of observation, and relevant documents collected for research purposes. / This study has three major findings. First, teacher-research officers played four principals roles: supervisor, administrator, director and researcher. These roles, however, varied in accordance with the governmental requirements and needs in different historical periods. Before 1949, the teaching-research officers were supervisors for educational quality. They were excellent teachers that were recruited by educational supervision institutions, and thus were given with administrative authority. Between 1949 and 1990, these teacher-supervisors were classified as professional teaching-research officers who were in charge of teaching administration and teacher development. Although they were no longer conaidned educational administrators since 1990, the teaching-research officers still maintained a certain degree of administrative authority and exercised influence in educational administration. Since the launch of the 8th curriculum reform in China at the advent of the 21st century, the role teaching-research officers as researchers have been greatly emphasized. Nevertheless, an analysis of teaching-research officers’ working rhythm and role metaphor indicates that the quality assurance system has fallen short of providing support to develop the research competence of teaching-research officers. Consequently, state intervention remains the key factor in defining the role of teaching-research officers. / Second, the social identities of teaching-research officers demonstrate accountability-oriented characteristics in the context of curriculum reform. Personal concerns enable teaching-researcher officers to construct four types of identities at the individual level. Structure-concerns lead certain officer to treat project research as top priority in their practice and allow them to obtain value recognition during research. This type of officers regards themselves as researchers. For those officers who mainly focus on structural concerns, but supplemented their work with individual concerns, analysis of teaching materials one considered the most important aspect of their work while the refinement of test construction consumes most of their times. An awkward “scarecrow is used as their role metaphor. For those officers who mainly focus on individual concerns, but supplemented their work with structural concerns, insist on guiding teacher practice on the one hand, and accept the working logic of the accountability-oriented approach, on the other. Their perpetual task is to maintain harmony between the two. A pathbreaker in haste is the role metaphor adopted. Officers who are individual-concern persons attempt to deal with accountability-oriented work, and spend extra time mentoring teachers. Career fulfillment comes from appreciation of teachers. A rookie is the role metaphor adopted. / Third, the degree of agency and commitment of teaching-research officers varied with their views on public examinations, personal experience, and structural support. It is not public examinations but personal experience that had direct an impact on the agency of the teaching-research officers. Specifically, the knowledge and ability of teaching-research officers, as well as the degree of structural support that they receive, have a direct effect on their agency and commitment. Teaching-research officers who have make a steady commitment to teacher development, have to give consideration to quality structural concerns, and in addressing these concerns, gain personal growth or structural rewards. / This study contributes to filling the void in current research that neglete to the investigation into the educational quality assurance, staff who work for. The perspective of structure-agent interaction is used to analyze how teaching-research officers construct their identities in Chinese educational reform context. It is a local exploration of Margaret Archer’s morphogenesis theory.
