Evaluating Systems: Three Approaches for Analyzing Education Systems and Informing Action
This paper applies 3 methods to evaluate education systems and to inform how to improve system coherence for learning
Abstract
This paper presents and applies 3 methods to evaluate education systems and to inform how to improve system coherence for learning: first, it uses learning trajectories to evaluate the dynamics of children’s learning in 22 low- and middle-income countries; second, it presents a set of principles called the ALIGNS principles and shows how they can be used to evaluate and improve alignment of curricula, assessments, and teacher support and instruction and finally, it presents a systems diagnostic framework and applies it to a program in South Africa, showing how the program takes a systems approach to improve learning.
This research is part of the Research on Improving Systems of Education programme.
