OKUL GELİŞİMİ BAĞLAMINDA DENETİM UYGULAMALARI: OFSTED ÖRNEĞİ

Öz

Bu çalışmada, İngiltere’de bağımsız bir hükümet kurumu olan ve eğitim alanında Avrupa’da en önemli ve etkili denetim organizasyonlarından biri olan Ofsted’in (The Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills) denetim uygulamaları ile bu uygulamaların okul gelişimini nasıl etkilediği incelenmiştir. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yaklaşımına uygun olarak doküman inceleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bu kapsamda, elde edilen bulgular iki ana başlıkta sunulmuştur. Bunlar; (i) Ofsted’in kurumsal yapısı, temel denetim uygulamaları ve süreçleri, (ii) Ofsted denetimlerinin okul gelişimine etkileridir. Çalışmada elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda; Ofsted’in iyi örnek teşkil edecek denetim uygulamalarına sahip olduğu, bağımsız statüsü ve kurumsal yapısıyla okul değerlendirme süreçlerinde gücünü ve etkisini koruduğu; Ofsted denetimlerinin ulusal stratejiler ve standartlara erişime yardımcı olabildiği, öğretmenlerin sınıf içi uygulamalarını, yöntem ve tekniklerini değiştirmesinde etkili olabildiği ve öğrencilerin başarılarının artışına katkı sağlayabildiği; buna karşın okullar üzerindeki stres ve baskıyı artırabileceği ve uzun vadede okul gelişimi bağlamında olumlu etkilerine ilişkin yeterli kanıtların bulunmadığı görülmüştür.
