This paper is part of the work undertaken by the OECD Review on Evaluation and Assessment Frameworks for Improving School Outcomes. The OECD Review on Evaluation and Assessment Frameworks for Improving School Outcomes is designed to respond to the strong interest in evaluation and assessment issues evident at national and international levels. The overall purpose is to explore how systems of evaluation and assessment can be used to improve the quality, equity and efficiency of school education. The Review looks at the various components of assessment and evaluation frameworks that countries use with the objective of improving student outcomes. These include student assessment, teacher appraisal, school assessment and system evaluation. More information is available at: www.oecd.org/edu/evaluationpolicy.

  • Educational Design Research
    Educational Design Research Volume 5 | Issue 1 | 2021 | Article 32 Contribution Academic Article Type Title How does didactic knowledge develop? Experiences from a design project Author Peter F. E. Sloane University of Paderborn Germany Uwe Krakau Vocational College for Technology and Design of the City of Gelsenkirchen Germany Abstract We, the authors of the paper, have jointly conducted several design-based research (DBR) projects. The subject of this paper is a project lasting approximately 18 months, which dealt with the introduction of a new curriculum in a vocational college. We were involved in different roles: one as a representative of the research community and the other as a representative of the vocational college and thus of practice. In the project, different interests were considered: The research division wanted to generate knowledge while the practitioners were interested in implementing a curriculum and developing new forms of learning and teaching. It is not that we could always assign each of these two perspectives to exactly one of us, even though we were officially researchers and practitioners. We have always approached each other in our DBR projects. Both perspectives have been incorporated into the paper: One author is concerned with the genesis of knowledge – how knowledge is created in DBR projects, a partly methodological approach. The other author attempts to find theoretical points of reference and reassurances about the project work. This leads to very practical considerations. The project did not commence with an exactly defined problem; we began with broad concerns that had to be distilled into specific goals over the course of the project.

  • Heterogeneity in Marginal Non-Monetary Returns to Higher Education
    WP 15/24 Heterogeneity in Marginal Non-monetary Returns to Higher Education Daniel A. Kamhöfer; Hendrik Schmitz & Matthias Westphal October 2015 http://www.york.ac.uk/economics/postgrad/herc/hedg/wps/ Heterogeneity in Marginal Non-monetary Returns to Higher Education∗ Daniel A. Kamhofer¨ Hendrik Schmitz University of Duisburg-Essen University of Paderborn and CINCH, Essen and CINCH, Essen Matthias Westphal Ruhr Graduate School in Economics, University of Duisburg-Essen and CINCH, Essen October 2015 Abstract In this paper we estimate the effects of college education on cognitive abilities and health exploiting exogenous variation in college availability and student loan regu- lations. By means of semiparametric local instrumental variables techniques we es- timate marginal treatment effects in an environment of essential heterogeneity. The results suggest heterogeneous but always positive effects on cognitive skills and ho- mogeneously positive effects for all health outcomes but mental health, where the effects are around zero throughout. We find that likely mechanisms of positive phys- ical health returns are effects of college education on physically demanding activities on the job and health behavior such as smoking and drinking while mentally more demanding jobs might explain the skill returns.
