Description
As part of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development project on international educational indicators, four networks were formed to represent different domains. This collection contains background papers that were prepared to deal with some of the fundamental questions about process indicators examined by Network "C," the network that, under the leadership of The Netherlands, was given the task of measuring indicators of schools and school processes. The following papers are included: (1) "Internationally Comparable Indicators of Educational Programmes and Processes: Identification, Measurement and Interpretation" (Jaap Scheerens); (2) "Comparer les structure de decision des systemes educatifs: un bilan de l'approache quantitative (Comparison of Decision-Making Structures in Education Systems: A Review of the Quantitative Approach)" (Denis Meuet, Jacques Prod'hom, and Eugen Stocker); (3) "The Selection and Definition of International Indicators on Teachers" (Jaap Scheerens); (4) "Curriculum Indicators in International Comparative Research" (Willem J. Pelgrum, Joke Voogt, and Tjeerd Plomp); (5) "Process Indicators on School Functioning and the Generalisability of School Factor Models across Countries" (Bert Creemers); (6) "The Development of Indicators on Equity in Education" (Alan Gibson and Denis Meuret); (7) "The Search for Indicators on the Effective Functioning of Tertiary Education Institutions" (Alan Gibson); (8) "The Use of Performance Indicators in School Improvement and Accountability" (Carmo Climaco); (9) "Perspectives on Decision-Making in Education Systems and the Development of the Network C Locus of Decision-Making Survey" (Darrel Drury, Laura Hersh Salganik, and Marilyn M. McMillen); (10) "La mise en place d'un dispositif d'indicateurs pour le pilotage des establissements secondaires francais (Implementation of a System of Indicators for the Steering of French Secondary Schools)" (Jean-Calude Emin); and (11) "Interpretation and Use of Education Indicators" (Erik Wallin).
