An Authentic Look at Evaluation in Education: A School Self- Evaluation Model Supporting School Development
Abstract
Purpose: Inspection and evaluation in education gained a different dimension with the implementation of concepts such as accountability, transparency and effectiveness to educational organizations. School self-evaluation is put into practice based on evidence in cooperation with stakeholders in order to develop and improve schools accordingly. The overall objective of this research is to develop a school self-evaluation model supporting school development for public secondary schools.
Methods: Among the mixed research methods, multi-stage mixed pattern is used
for this purpose. The stages of this pattern are structured in accordance with
the Research and Development (R&D) methodology. The documents are examined
and the opinions of 9 experts are obtained by means of surveys in order to
develop the model draft.
Implications
for Research and
Practice: In conclusion, a six-stage school self-evaluation model for secondary
schools is developed. The model that is developed may be used by adapting it
according to the type of school, teaching level and needs. However, the school
administrators and teachers need training on basic statistics, research and
report writing during the implementation of the model. Experts with
postgraduate diploma in fields such as education administration,
supervision/evaluation may provide support in this matter. Moreover, opinions
may be obtained from field expert academic members, education inspectors,
school administrators and teachers regarding the applicability and adoptability
of the model that is developed.
