DOWNLOAD EBOOKA partir de la década de 1990 se fundaron en todos los países del mundo sistemas nacionales de evaluación con el propósito de identificar una relación de equivalencia entre lo que ofrece la escolaridad y los aprendizajes alcanzados por los estudiantes. Sin embargo, son muy pocas las iniciativas para lograr el enlace entre los resultados de las pruebas y la formación de los docentes. Este libro presenta algunos aspectos del problema y resalta lo que se hace al respecto en países latinoamericanos que han insistido en la constitución paulatina de sus sistemas nacionales de evaluación.
Using the Results of a National Assessment of Educational Achievement

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat are students learning? Throughout the world, governments striving to improve educational quality are turning to national assessments to provide this much-needed information in key curriculum areas. The capacity for carrying out national assessments has grown remarkably in recent years, but it has not been matched by widespread use of their findings. This book seeks to maximize an appreciation for the value of such data and to assist countries in exploiting the knowledge that national assessments yield. Using the Results of a National Assessment of Educational Achievement identifies the main factors affecting the use of national assessment findings. These include the political context in which an assessment is carried out, the nature of the assessment (census based or sample based), the assignment of accountability for the results, and the quality of assessment instruments. The book describes the type of information that the main report of a national assessment should contain, as well as other means of communicating findings to technical and nontechnical audiences. It outlines general considerations in translating national assessment results into policy and action, and examines specific procedures for using the data in policy making, educational management, teaching, and promoting public awareness. The topics addressed in this volume should be of interest to policy makers, educators, researchers, and development practitioners.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHear from evaluation practitioners throughout Latin America. In this region program evaluation is an emergent practice, one that is shaped by distinctive geopolitical and social contexts and has its own intellectual biography. Through a selection of writings and cases this issue provides a window on program evaluation in this region. The articles indicate a range of experiences and concerns that respond to the countries’ unique histories and cultures. Articles by evaluators from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Peru illustrate new directions and are grouped around the following themes: Strategic use of evaluation in public policies and active citizenship Innovative project evaluation examples Evaluation capacity building and institutionalization. The widespread development of participatory or actor-oriented approaches, based on qualitative methodologies that have a particularly Latin American stamp, are emphasized in this issue. This is the 134th volume of the Jossey-Bass quarterly report series New Directions for Evaluation, an official publication of the American Evaluation Association.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEducational practices have rapidly changed in the last few decades, especially in how exchanges of information and learning are delivered and processed.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKUnderstanding what and how students learn has emerged as a salient issue in Latin America, a region where the majority of children now have access to schools but few students learn the skills they need to succeed. 'Raising Student Learning in Latin America' examines recent advances in our understanding of the policies and programs that affect student learning and provides policy makers with effective options. This volume relies on indicators from national and international assessments of subject matter knowledge plus intermediate learning indicators, such as dropout and completion rates. The first part focuses on the central role of student learning in education. The second part reviews the evidence on factors and policies that affect student learning. The final part addresses policy optons on education quality assurance.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLatin America suffered a profound state crisis in the 1980s, which prompted not only the wave of macroeconomic and deregulation reforms known as the Washington Consensus, but also a wide variety of institutional or 'second generation' reforms. 'The State of State Reform in Latin America' reviews and assesses the outcomes of these less studied institutional reforms. This book examines four major areas of institutional reform: a. political institutions and the state organization; b. fiscal institutions, such as budget, tax and decentralization institutions; c. public institutions in charge of sectoral economic policies (financial, industrial, and infrastructure); and d. social sector institutions (pensions, social protection, and education). In each of these areas, the authors summarize the reform objectives, describe and measure their scope, assess the main outcomes, and identify the obstacles for implementation, especially those of an institutional nature.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEste libro forma parte de un estudio adelantado con el fin de conocer los modelos logísticos de evaluación educativa externa en seis países de Latinoamérica (Argentina, Colombia, Cuba, Chile, Uruguay y México). A partir de la investigación adelantada, los autores elaboran este libro, en el cual se hace un análisis y discusión de estos sistemas de evaluación externa. Los autores comentan lo siguiente: "Frente a la evaluación, el uso de sus resultados y la pertinencia de ambos, a pesar de ser realidades distintas, diferentes países Latinoamericanos coinciden en una crítica común sobre la evaluación, la cual genera cuestionamientos sobre la pertinencia real que tiene sobre la educación de los estudiantes, la formación de los docentes y el mejoramiento de la calidad, y la necesidad de cambios trascendentales en esta dinámica hasta ahora manejada". Con base en lo anterior, en esta obra los autores también plantean retos y propuestas generales para lograr una transformación y mejora de la e ...

DOWNLOAD EBOOKL'évaluation efficace de la performance des systèmes éducatifs est un élément essentiel de la mise au point de politiques visant à optimiser le développement du capital humain dans le monde. Les cinq manuels de la collection Évaluations nationales des acquis scolaires introduisent les concepts clés des évaluations nationales du niveau de performances des élèves, dont les questions politiques à traiter dans la conception et la mise en 'uvre des évaluations ou le développement d'un test, la conception d'un questionnaire, l'échantillonnage, l'organisation et la mise en 'uvre de la collecte de données, le nettoyage et l'analyse statistique des données, la rédaction de rapports et l'exploitation des résultats pour améliorer la qualité de l'éducation. Qu'apprennent les élèves ' Dans le monde, les gouvernements qui aspirent à améliorer la qualité de l'éducation se tournent vers les évaluations nationales pour obtenir ces informations si précieuses dans les domaines clés des programmes de cours. La capacité à mener des évaluations nationales s'est remarquablement renforcée ces dernières années, mais l'utilisation généralisée des conclusions n'a pas suivi. Ce manuel vise à démontrer la valeur essentielle de ces données et à assister les pays dans l'exploitation des connaissances issues des évaluations nationales. Communiquer et utiliser les résultats d'une évaluation nationale des acquis scolaires recense les principaux facteurs qui affectent l'utilisation des constatations des évaluations nationales. Ceux-ci comprennent le contexte politique dans lequel une évaluation est menée, la nature de l'évaluation (sur la base d'un recensement ou d'un échantillon), les responsabilités de chacun vis-à -vis des résultats, et la qualité des instruments d'évaluation. Le manuel décrit le type d'informations requises dans le rapport principal d'une évaluation nationale, et d'autres moyens de communiquer les conclusions aux publics techniques et non techniques. Il énonce les principes généraux à suivre pour traduire les résultats des évaluations nationales dans le cadre de politiques et de mesures, et examine les procédures spécifiques d'utilisation des données dans l'élaboration de politiques, la gestion de l'éducation, l'enseignement et la promotion de la sensibilisation du public. Les thèmes traités dans ce volume sont de nature à intéresser les responsables des politiques, les équipes pédagogiques, les chercheurs et les professionnels du développement.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKInequality is a marked and persistent feature of education systems, both in the developed and the developing worlds. Major gaps in opportunity and in outcomes have become more critical than in the past, thanks to the knowledge economy and globalization. The pursuit of equity as a goal of public policy is examined in this book through a series of national case-studies. The book covers many different global contexts from the wealthiest to some of the poorest nations on earth. It therefore offers a broad range of different theoretical and methodological approaches, and brings together extensive international experience in equity policy.
