论文摘要
本文提出了一个针对英格兰的替代教育责任制系统,该系统摆脱了学校之间的简单比较或联赛表,朝着在教育当局或其他学校组成的水平上进行更细微的报告。基于学校内学生的抽样,它建议使用定量学生评估数据作为筛选设备,这些设备在包括检查在内的综合责任制系统中提供证据。同时,它旨在提供比目前可用于研究和问责制目前可用的更丰富的数据。我们认为,如果在学校改进的背景下精心实施,这种系统有可能在很大程度上消除当前系统的有害副作用和课程扭曲。在当前英国中学系统的背景下提出的建议,这些建议将与其他国家的其他阶段和类似系统有关。
This paper proposes an alternative educational accountability system for England that moves away from simplistic comparisons, or league tables, among schools towards a more nuanced reporting at a level of education authorities or other school groupings. Based upon the sampling of pupils within schools, it proposes the use of quantitative pupil assessment data as screening devices that provide evidence within an integrated accountability system that includes inspection. At the same time, it aims to provide a richer set of data than currently available for research as well as accountability purposes. We argue that if carefully implemented within a context of school improvement, such a system has the potential to largely eliminate the deleterious side effects and curriculum distortions of the present system. While being proposed within the context of the current English secondary school system, the proposals will have relevance for other phases of schooling and similar systems in other countries.
