La evaluación del curriculum constituye un campo en rápido desarrollo dentro de la teoría y la práctica educativas. Su interés ha aumentado a consecuencia de un conjunto de necesidades y presiones: el movimiento a favor de unas instituciones escolares más responsables ante el público al que sirven, la urgencia de encontrar fórmulas eficaces para estimular el desarrollo profesional del profesorado, la atención a la calidad y coherencia de las tareas escolares en los centros y, en resumen, el compromiso con la mejora del sistema educativo. La evaluación curricular tiene que desempeñar un papel importante en estas cuestiones, aunque aún no han llegado a comprenderse del todo los problemas y posibilidades que encierra la implantación de la evaluación y los diversos fines que cumple. Robert McCORMICK y Mary JAMES aclaran en este libro los principales aspectos profesionales, éticos, políticos, teóricos y prácticos de la evaluación, y presentan propuestas y reflexiones relacionadas con una serie de estrategias y técnicas de evaluación que se utilizan en la actualidad. Se basan en experiencias llevadas acabo en diversos países en donde existe una importante tradición de evaluación de centros escolares, en especial el Reino Unido, Australia y los Estados Unidos, para estudiar las posibilidades de los enfoques internos y externos de la evaluación y de combinaciones de ambos. También prestan atención a la cuestión fundamental de la influencia de la evaluación sobre el desarrollo curricular y, en consecuencia, sobre la enseñanza y el aprendizaje. Este libro constituye, asimismo, una referencia práctica para quienes tratan de planificar y desarrollar evaluaciones curriculares en sus propios centros.

There has recently been a societal push to better achieve equity for all, with many bringing to light the bias, racism, and discrimination that many factions face on a daily basis. Naturally, integrating diversity and social inclusion thoughts into the classroom is one of the best ways to start changing the mindset of society and promoting more inclusive practices in the next generations. Therefore, diversity and social inclusion have become common approaches in the planning and management of primary, secondary, and higher education schools in many international contexts. However, there are certainly challenges that must be overcome in developing these new practices and their implementation within teacher curriculum. Instilling Diversity and Social Inclusion Practices in Teacher Education and Curriculum Development provides an analysis of educational inclusion practices and identifies university students’ voices on diversity and social inclusion. It further assesses teacher performance in an international online training context and promotes a model of curriculum development on diversity and social inclusion. Covering topics such as culturally competent teachers, student academic achievement, and attitudes towards diversity, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for teacher educators, pre-service teachers, administrators and educators of both K-12 and higher education, social workers, researchers, and academicians.

Since the early 1980s, policymakers, practitioners, and researchers in member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) have shown unprecedented interest in the setting and evaluating of educational standards and in improving assessment procedures. This book is the outcome of a study undertaken by the OECD in 1994 at the request of the Government of the United States. A conference held in Paris in December 1993 launched the study; experts from 10 OECD countries were then commissioned to write case-study reports, which were presented at a seminar in Paris in October 1994. The study was carried out under the auspices of the Center for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI) and the Education Committee. The book contains an overview by John Lowe, followed by the 10 case studies from Australia, Canada (Ontario), England and Wales, France, Germany (North Rhine-Westphalia), Ireland, Japan, Spain, Sweden, and the United States. A synthesis offers a functional model of reform and considers the ways in which the United States and other governments could profit from the case studies. A total of 15 tables and 24 figures are included. (LMI)
