Educational Practices and Policies Evaluation Area
What does it consist of?
SUMMA’s evaluation area seeks to rigorously and systematically study the effects and results of educational policies and programmes aimed at improving the quality and equity of the region’s educational systems. From an educational justice perspective, the evaluation area deploys diverse methodological strategies, which are both quantitative and qualitative, to demonstrate the way and degree to which these policies and programmes favour the closing of gaps, to improve teaching and learning, and to contribute to greater educational justice in education systems.
Project objectives
1
To promote and generate evaluations of promising educational programmes to improve the students’ learning and to close the educational gap of those students in situations of greater socio-educational vulnerability.
2
To identify and understand innovative practices and programmes that make a difference in improving teaching and learning processes.
3
To generate indicators and comprehensive evaluation tools to identify gaps and areas for improvement at local and regional levels.
4
To promote and mobilize learning from a culture of collaboration among the different actors in the system, linking research and practice around the generation of new evidence.
Impact on society
We promote educational improvement through the validation of innovations that make a difference. We seek to understand what is behind educational innovation programmes that generate impact: what and how they do it.
We articulate and ensure the quality of evaluations of innovative and promising programmes
We promote the generation of knowledge about practices and policies focused on the integral learning of students.
We broaden the exchange and learning among different actors, linking research to educational practice.
We mobilize and scale the impact of innovations and effective practices. School Network: We mobilize educational transformations that have real impact.
We generate learning by identifying what (factors) and how these differences are made. We conduct evaluations of educational programmes that contribute to informed innovation and continuous improvement of educational practices and policies.
