  • 1 Rhetoric and Reality of School Improvement In
    RHETORIC AND REALITY OF SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT IN CHILE A Multiple Case Study of School Improvement Policy and External Technical Support Programmes for Municipal Primary Schools Alvaro F. González Torres Department of Curriculum, Pedagogy and Assessment UCL Institute of Education MPhil/PhD in Education 2016 1 DECLARATION I declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, including the author’s previous writing, this has been indicated in the thesis. Word count (exclusive of appendices and references): 88.027 words. 2 ABSTRACT Currently we are witnessing the expansion of performance-based reforms in education around the world, based on a global education reform agenda. In Chile, the policy framework for school improvement has changed because of modifications to the governance structure and the introduction of performance standards in the school system. This policy framework defines a performance-based accountability system according to students’ achievement in Chile’s national examination (SIMCE), and institutes external technical support as the main policy strategy for improvement at the school level. This policy framework assumes a decontextualised, technical-rational perspective of school improvement, influenced by school effectiveness literature. Based on a social theory perspective, I aim to problematise this notion of improvement by studying the influence of the Chilean policy framework for school improvement on the implementation of external technical support programmes in seven primary municipal schools. Through a qualitative multiple case study, I look at the rationale (rhetoric) of the policy framework for school improvement by inquiring about its development and implementation, and in addition, I look at the practice (reality) of improvement in schools in relation to the implementation of three distinct external technical support programmes.

  • Conditions of Service for Secondary Schoolmasters in England and Wales, 1891-1951, with Specific Reference to the Work of the Assistant Masters Association
    CONDITIONS OF SERVICE FOR SECONDARY SCHOOLMASTERS IN ENGLAND AND WALES, 1891-1951, WITH SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO THE WORK OF THE ASSISTANT MASTERS ASSOCIATION. by GE01-1-REY WALKER Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Education, University of London Institute of Education. 1995 Abstract This thesis examines to what extent and by what means the Assistant Masters Association (AMA) was able to influence provision in relation to conditions of service for the secondary schoolmaster in England and Wales in the 60-year period from the AMA's foundation in 1891. A thematic approach is adopted with chapters devoted to the specific issues of tenure, salaries, superannuation, registration and training. Within each chapter there is a necessary concentration on the earlier period of the AMA's history when the impetus to create acceptable conditions of service was at its most imperative. The thesis draws upon much previously unused material from the Assistant Masters Archive, lodged at the University of London Institute of Education Library. The study builds upon and extends the earlier research of Baron, Tropp and Gosden, and provides an alternative interpretation to the more recent work of Lawn, Ozga, Grace, and others, which presents the behaviour of organized teachers in terms of employer- employee conflict. The strike, confrontational stratagem and the coercion of its membership are seen as alien to the AMA's philosophy. The AMA's participation with Joint Four, and its interaction with other teacher unions, are fully explored. The significant contribution of the AMA to enhanced provision across the spectrum of teacher employment is shown to be primarily the result of the Association's persistent, professional dialogue with government - both central and local - via carefully researched data and targeted argument.

    239 Chapter 15. Overseas Trips, Diary Extracts on Education Introduction The Introduction to this biography explains the background to the material selected from the diaries produced on Charles Fenner©s two overseas trips with his wife Peggy in 1931 and 1937 (C. Fenner, 1931, 1937). The 1931 trip was undertaken when he was chosen as one of the Australian delegates to the Centenary Meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science (BAAS); the others were: Sir Hubert Murray, President-elect of the Australasian Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS); Professors Kerr Grant and Chapman, of the University of Adelaide; Professors Ewart, Hartung and Skeats, of the University of Melbourne; and Dr Clive Lord of Tasmania, with funding from the British Association. Fenner was also instructed by the Director of Education ©to enquire into the question of broadcasting in schools, visual education and the operation of the Hadow Report in England and Scotland©. They travelled there, via the Suez Strait, on the SS Balranald and back, around South Africa, on the SS Jervis Bay. The 1937 trip to North America and Europe was funded by a grant from the Carnegie Foundation and was focused on educational matters. They were accompanied on this trip by Dr Draper Campbell, Head of the Dental School in Adelaide and an active member of the Royal Society of South Australia, and his wife Elizabeth. On this occasion they went first across the Pacific Ocean to California, then across the United States and to Canada, and then to the United Kingdom and continental Europe and home via South Africa.
