Abstract

A RAND research team conducted a broad review of the general literature on the assessment of quality and productivity in education and professional development. The team also reviewed the documentation of organizations engaged in such assessment, interviewed experts, attended conferences, and conducted site visits to exemplary organizations. This report synthesizes the information and provides suggestions for approaches that might be useful for agencies given the task of ensuring the quality and productivity of education and professional development activities in a specific system. Assessment, as used in this monograph, means the start-to-finish process of examining quality or productivity, while evaluation is the step in the assessment process in which performance measures are examined, and a judgment about performance is made on the basis of that examination. Regardless of the assessment model selected, the study found that three key steps must be included in any provider or student assessment: (1) identifying goals of the education activities under consideration; (2) measuring the outcomes related to those goals; and (3) evaluating whether the outcomes meet those goals. Each step should be linked to the others, and the process as whole should be driven by the goals. Six appendixes contain supplemental information about the research methodology. (Contains 7 tables, 1 figure, and 137 references.) (SLD)

44. Rediscovering the Democratic Purposes of Education. Studies in Government and Public Policy.

Author

McDonnell, Lorraine M., Timpane, P. Michael, Benjamin, Roger, McDonnell, Lorraine M., Timpane, P. Michael, and Benjamin, Roger

Abstract

This volume of essays, spanning philosophy, history, sociology, and political science seeks to demonstrate that the democratic purposes of education are not outmoded but can continue to be driving forces in public education. Nine original articles examine how those democratic purposes might be redefined and revived. The volume both establishes the intellectual foundation for revitalizing U.S. schools and offers concrete ideas for how the educational process can be made more democratic. The collection is divided into three broad parts: "Part 1: The Philosophy and Practice of Civic Education"; "Part 2: Approaches to Studying the Politics of Education"; and "Part 3: Focusing on Democratic Purposes: Implications for Education Policy." The following essays are in the collection: (1)"Defining Democratic Purposes" (Lorraine M. McDonnell); (2) "What the American Founders Have To Teach Us about Schooling for Democratic Citizenship" (Lorraine Smith Pangle; Thomas L. Pangle); (3) "Toward a Political Economy of Citizenship: Historical Perspectives on the Purposes of Common Schools" (Carl F. Kaestle); (4) "Why Should Schools Care about Civic Education?" (Amy Gutmann); (5) "A Political Socialization Perspective" (Pamela Johnston Conover; Donald D. Searing); (6) "The Two Democratic Purposes of Public Education" (Terry M. Moe); (7) "Democracy and Schooling: An Institutional Perspective" (James G. March; Johan P. Olsen); (8) "Seeking a New Politics of Education" (Lorraine M. McDonnell; M. Stephen Weatherford); and (9) "Democratic Education and the American Dream" (Jennifer L. Hochschild; Nathan Scovronick). Each essay includes notes. (Contains a very extensive selected bibliography.)
