The challenge facing the education system in many countries of
meeting demands for higher quality public education within
increasingly severe national economic and fiscal constraints is the
subject of this collection of essays by eleven outstanding
educational practitioners. The book examines national level
strategy for improving the quality of education. It identifies and
analyzes key interventions to improve educational quality.
Strategies for selecting among these interventions are discussed
and the major issues encountered in implementing the interventions
are analyzed. A major argument of the book is that a systems
approach offers the most effective and efficient intervention for
improving education quality but only when sufficient attention is
paid to the motivation, knowledge, and behavior of the individuals
within those systems on whose actions success of any intervention
ultimately depends. Part I, "Improving Educational Quality,"
contains five chapters and provides a general framework for
formulating interventions to improve educational quality. Included
here are discussions of investments that lead to student
achievement, the use of efficiency as a criterion to judge the
effects of education investments, ways instructional systems models
enhance efficiency and educational quality, and the role played by
donors. The nine chapters that compose Part II, "Issues in
Implementing Quality Improvement Programs," discuss a series of
issues more specifically concerned with program implementation.
These are organized in three categories: (1) the teacher's role in
quality improvement; (2) monitoring, evaluation, and data
management; and (3) instructional delivery. While the volume
iswritten to assist instructional designers, program planners,
administrators, evaluators, and supervisory personnel, it has wide
application as a text for graduate students preparing for these
types of positions.
