La evaluación de los centros educativos se fundamenta en la necesidad de su mejora permanente, para que puedan ofrecer respuestas adecuadas a las exigencias personales y sociales de cada momento. A partir de esta primera justificación, la obra expone las características sociales más relevantes de la actualidad y la influencia que tienen en el desarrollo de la enseñanza, para llegar a consideraciones sobre las corrientes de calidad más recientes y al examen de diferentes modelos de evaluación que se han aplicado en los últimos años. A continuación, la autora propone un modelo de evaluación para las instituciones educativas que, partiendo de la reflexión en torno a la realidad de cada una, llegue a la concreción de un plan de mejora en función de las conclusiones habidas. Evaluación, calidad y mejora constituyen tres ejes en los que se basa el funcionamiento adecuado de los sistemas educativos y, por lo tanto, de los centros en los que aplica. Se presenta un capítulo con las técnicas e instrumentos apropiados para evaluar y se seleccionan catorce factores, algunos de absoluta actualidad y nuevos en este campo, para los que se ofrecen más de trescientos indicadores mediante los cuales facilitar su evaluación. Para finalizar, la obra plantea la evaluación como elemento clave de la innovación permanente de la escuela. Libro de interés para profesionales de la educación y otras especialidades, interesados en la evaluación de instituciones y programas.

This book focuses on essential aspects of the theoretical foundations that support blended learning (BL) as a teaching training modality in tertiary education. Analyzing the changes in the world of education that lead to new ways of thinking and learning, it redefines the concept of blended learning at a time of constant growth in many universities around the world. This involves a shared reflection on the role of technology in the current university teacher education programs, as well as on the role that pedagogy plays in increasingly technology-driven contexts. Furthermore, the book presents pedagogical approaches to guide university professors in the design and implementation of blended learning courses. To this end, it describes some of the major models and approaches to BL instructional design, and examines issues related to the quality of BL training and the indicators to measure it, in order to identify those models that contribute to a better understanding of the dimensions that increase its effectiveness.

Implementing a National Assessment of Educational Achievement, the third volume in the five-part National Assessments of Educational Achievement series, focuses on practical issues in the implementation of a national assessment. These include the representation of key educational stakeholders, required personnel and facilities, and the sequence of administrative activities in implementing an assessment. Particular attention is focused on sampling, such as defining the population to be assessed, elements of sampling theory, and the selection of schools and students to take part in an assessment. Readers are guided through the selection of a sample by working on a set of concrete tasks presented in the text, using data files in an accompanying CD. One section of Volume 3 is devoted to typical tasks involved in preparing, validating and managing data. Users are expected to develop competence in data preparation skills by carrying out the practical exercises in the CD. They are also shown how to complete important pre-analysis steps such as compute survey weights, calculate means and their sampling errors, and how to deal with non-responses and oversize and undersize schools. This volume is intended primarily for teams who are responsible for conducting national assessments and graduate students interested in technical aspects of large-scale surveys.
