OFSTED, Criteria and the Nature of Social Understanding
Since their inception in 1993 OFSTED inspections have generated considerable controversy amongst teachers and educationists generally, Much of the criticism to date has centred on the effects which such inspections have had on schools and their staffs. In contrast little sustained concern has been shown about the underlying assumptions of the OFSTED inspection process. This article identifies as the central feature of that process a particular bu…
Good School, Bad School'. Evaluating Performance and Encouraging Improvement
Part 1 Setting frameworks: the quality of schooling - frameworks for judgement developing frameworks for monitoring and evaluation from research on school effectiveness. Part 2 Gathering hard evidence: HMI's interpretations of schools' examination results (with postscripts for the Nineties) performance indicators - flourish or perish? developing value-added approaches to school evaluation - the experiences of three LEAs estimating differences in …
In the aftermath of inspection
The effects of school inspections on school improvement have hitherto been assumed rather than documented. This paper describes a study of the consequences of five primary‐school inspections carried out by local inspectors in different authorities. The inspections are of especial interest because they took place in the period immediately before the introduction of the new inspection arrangements ushered in by the Education (Schools) Act 1992 and,…
Persistent Absence from School and Exclusion from School
The study investigated the association between two dependent variables, and 58 other variables, in 33 Sheffield secondary schools. The dependent variables were persistent absenteeism and exclusion for disciplinary reasons. Of the other variables, 22 described the schools' catchment area, with the remainder describing structural and organisational aspects of the schools themselves. There was no significant relationship between the two dependent va…
The Curricular Anatomy of Primary School Health Education
The paper describes a survey of the health education which was taught in 193 Sheffield primary schools during the school year 1978/79 as reported by class teachers. Data were obtained from 728 teachers who between them were responsible for classes of pupils covering the age range from 5 to 12 years. The teaching of particular health topics, and the effective priority given to them by teachers, were found, in the main, to vary systematically with …
