The Balance Between Higher Education Autonomy And Public Quality Assurance: Development Of The Portuguese System For Teacher Education Accreditation, Bártolo Campos Dec 2004

The Balance Between Higher Education Autonomy And Public Quality Assurance: Development Of The Portuguese System For Teacher Education Accreditation, Bártolo Campos

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

The accreditation systems of higher education institutions and/or programmes are becoming a policy measure used to find a balance between their autonomy and public assurance concerning the quality of the qualifications they award. This article analyses, from the point of view of this balance of power, the process of development of the Portuguese accreditation system aimed at providing public assurance that initial teacher education programmes are more driven by social demand, namely by the changing school education needs. ...

Autonomy Vs. Control: Quality Assurance And Governmental Policy In Flanders, Kurt De Wit, Jef C. Verhoeven Dec 2004

Autonomy Vs. Control: Quality Assurance And Governmental Policy In Flanders, Kurt De Wit, Jef C. Verhoeven

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

… In this article, we focus on the tension between the government's aim of improving and controlling the quality of higher education and universities ' concern for their autonomy. We describe the Flemish government's view on issues of quality in higher education and confront these with an account on the basis of case studies of how the quality assurance system was actually implemented in universities. We conclude that the model of the “market state” or the '”evaluative state” is only realised partially in Flanders. ...

The Advanced Placement Expansion Of The 1990s: How Did Traditionally Underserved Students Fare?, Kristin Klopfenstein Dec 2004

The Advanced Placement Expansion Of The 1990s: How Did Traditionally Underserved Students Fare?, Kristin Klopfenstein

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

The College Board’s Advanced Placement (AP) Program, which allows students to take college-level courses while in high school, enjoyed tremendous growth in the 1990s. Despite overall growth, small rural schools and high poverty schools continue to offer relatively few AP courses, and black, Hispanic, and low income students remain grossly underrepresented in AP classes. During the 1990s, AP incentive programs primarily subsidized test fees for low income students, but this provided no incentive for low income and rural schools to expand their AP course offerings and did nothing to strengthen the weak academic preparation of low income, black and Hispanic …

The Effect Of Charter School Legislation On Market Share, Simona Kúscová, Jack Buckley Nov 2004

The Effect Of Charter School Legislation On Market Share, Simona Kúscová, Jack Buckley

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

Many proponents of school choice use the claim of the market’s capability to enhance efficiency and improve performance to call for its expansion. But no markets are perfectly competitive, and the local market for public goods is filled with institutional arrangements that make it differ from the neoclassical ideal. In this paper, we look at a particular institution—the provisions of charter school legislation—and assess how it affects the ability of charter schools to gain market share. ...

Closing The Racial Achievement Gap: The Role Of Reforming Instructional Practices, Harold Wenglinsky Nov 2004

Closing The Racial Achievement Gap: The Role Of Reforming Instructional Practices, Harold Wenglinsky

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

No Child Left Behind calls for schools to close the achievement gap between races in math and reading. One possible way for schools to do so is to encourage their teachers to engage in practices that disproportionately benefit their minority students. The current study applies the technique of Hierarchical Linear Modeling to a nationally representative sample of 13,000 fourth graders who took the 2000 National Assessment of Educational Progress in mathematics to identify instructional practices that reduce the achievement gap. It finds that, even when taking student background into account, various instructional practices can make a substantial difference.
