M. Marc DEMEUSE

Objective

The main objective is to give basic notions on research literature to students, including inexperienced or experienced teachers from any subjects or levels of education, who do not have any expertise in the analysis of education systems at a micro level. The aim is to give them tools in order to be able to get familiar with the literature and to be able to use it in their further own analyses



Contents

The course treats the analysis of education systems at a « micro » level (whereas the course « Analysis of Education Systems II »), that is to say at the level of a class and of a school. The central concepts concern «school effectiveness» and to «school improvement» and the central questions that lead the course are related to the «teacher effect», «class effect» and «school effect» in the French-speaking Belgian education context and other systems, mainly Europeans and North Americans
