以质量为目标的教育改革和规划框架

A Framework for Education Systems Reform and Planning for Quality

2000年联合国确定了到2015年所有儿童都有机会完成免费的、高质量的强制性基础教育的目标。尽管目前各国在入学率与完成率方面取得了进步,但发展中国家的学习质量仍不尽人意。鉴于目前的教育生产模式不足以支持教育改革和提升以学生学习衡量的教育质量,本文提出了一个更宽泛、更综合的制定政策的方法;基于此前被证明行之有效的理论与实证依据,本文构建了一个改进教育质量的框架,该框架包括评价、自主权、问责制、关注教师、关注早期儿童发展、关注文化。实现这些需要基于更多的研究发现,尤其是有关效果评价的实证证据来开发一个国际质量标准体系。

In 2000 the goal that, by 2015, all children will have access to, and complete, free, and compulsory primary education of good quality, was set. Despite progress in terms of student enrollment and completion, the quality of learning produced in developing countries remains poor. Existing models of education production are inadequate for informing education reform for the purpose of improving school quality, as measured by student learning. Thus, a broader and more integrated approach of policymaking is put forward. Building on theory and empirical evidence on what works, the paper puts forward a framework for improving the quality of education. The framework includes six factors: (1)Assessment; (2)Autonomy; (3)Accountability; (4)Attention to teachers ; (5)Attention to early childhood development; and (6)Attention to culture. Going forward there is a need to develop a system of international quality benchmarks drawing upon a larger body of evidence. Most importantly, more empirical evidence from impact evaluations is needed.
