RESUMENEsta experiencia presenta los resultados parciales de un estudio llevado a cabo por el Centro Nacional para la Mejora de la Escuela (Utrecht, Holanda). En Holanda, la descentralización de las políticas educativas confiere mayor responsabilidad a los profesionales de la educación para asegurar la calidad en su contexto de trabajo. Durante dos años, se recogieron datos a través de una encuesta de ámbito nacional con profesores de educación para la carrera en escuelas de secundaria, para proponer estándares en relación a: las áreas fundamentales de intervención del profesor de educación para la carrera, las competencias necesarias para realizar las tareas pertinentes en cada una de estas áreas, indicadores de comportamiento en estas competencias. El objetivo principal era y es generar un proceso interactivo y auto-evaluativo sobre la calidad de las actividades de desarrollo de la carrera en la escuela, no imponer unos estándares que regulen la calidad o sirvan de herramienta para medirla. En esta contribución se describe el proceso seguido y sus resultados, con las áreas de intervención, tareas y competencias identificadas. Se hace énfasis en los procedimientos interactivos que han contribuido a que los profesores de educación para la carrera hagan suyos los estándares de calidad de las tareas que realizan. Se concluye con ejemplos de aplicación en el propio contexto de trabajo, y se apuntan líneas de acción futuras.ABSTRACTThis experience presents the partial results of a study conducted by the National Center for School Improvement (Utrecht, Netherlands). In the Netherlands, the decentralization of educational policy gives more responsibility to the education professionals to ensure quality in their work context. For two years, data were collected through a national survey to teachers with career education in secondary schools, to propose standards regarding to: the key areas of teacher education career, the skills required to perform the relevant tasks in each of these areas, performance indicators in these competitions. The main objective was and is to create an interactive process and self-evaluation on the quality of the development activities of the school career, not imposing standards governing the quality or serving as a tool to measure it. This contribution describes the process followed and the results with the intervention areas, tasks, and competences identified. Interactive procedures that have helped teachers to make career education quality standards in performing their tasks done are emphasized. Examples of application in the context of own work are given and future lines of action are targeted.

The article follows the trends leading to the improvement of quality in education which is offered by educa-tional institutions. The key concepts of these trends become the concepts of successful school and school improvement. Literature introduced the concept of a successful school in the 70ies of the last century. In the 80ies literature finds out the concept of school improvement. The definition of a successful school itself is problematic. Many authors view successful school as a school where pupils reach very good results in elementary skills, measured by corresponding tests. The authors suggest criteria of a successful school on the basis of research. The concept of school improvement is more practically oriented on school. It in-cludes the teacher as a researcher and the process of self-evaluation of a school and school evaluation. At the end of 90ies both concepts interconnect which leads to a lot of wider research. The research of world-wide successful school improvement point out to a range of key principles. These principles offer basic orientation leading to school improvement. It is needed to monitor the quality of offered education. Quality of school, its success and continuous improvement are basic challenge to quality of European education. Key words: successful school, school improvement, learning organization, principles of school improve-ment, student outcomes orientation, process orientation, schools of second millennium, schools of third millennium.

To the Editor.— We have been very interested in the various uses of microcomputers in pediatric units as proposed by Schwartz and Hammer.1 Following our experience in a neonatal unit, we have found another utilization.2 Microcomputers can be used for self-evaluation of the quality of care treatment in a pediatric unit. According to the number of variables studied, a microcomputer or minicomputer could be used. For example, using a minicomputer (Hewlett-Packard 9045 B), we store 400 variables for each newborn.

Academic Review

Looking at two smaller-scale systemic school improvement projects implemented in selected district circuits in the North West and Eastern Cape by partnerships between government, JET Education Services, and private sector organisations, this book captures and reflects on the experiences of the practitioners involved. The Systemic School Improvement Model developed by JET to address an identified range of interconnected challenges at district, school, classroom and household level, is made up of seven components. In reflecting on what worked and what did not in the implementation of these different components, the different chapters set out some of the practical lessons learnt, which could be used to improve the design and implementation of similar education improvement projects. Many of the lessons in this field that remain under-recorded to date relate to the step-by-step processes followed, the relationship dynamics encountered at different levels of the education system, and the local realities confronting schools and districts in South Africa's rural areas. Drawing on field data that is often not available to researchers, the book endeavours to address this gap and record these lessons. It is not intended to provide an academic review of the systemic school improvement projects. It is presented rather to offer other development practitioners working to improve the quality of education in South African schools, an understanding of some of the real practical and logistical challenges that arise and how these may be resolved to take further school improvement projects forward at a wider district, provincial and national scale.

Population screening may harm quality of life (QoL), and traditional health-related QoL tools could be inadequate to evaluate this risk. Two global and generic QoL instruments were developed for studying the QoL consequences of screening (SCREENQOL), and QoL variation in a normal population (SEQOL). SCREENQOL and SEQOL (Self-Evaluation of Quality of Life Questionnaire) are self-administered questionnaires with items rated on 5-point Likert scales. SCREENQOL consists of 21 items measuring QoL across 6 different dimensions based upon validated QoL questionnaires. SEQOL consists of 317 items measuring QoL across 8 different dimensions, based on an integrative theory of QoL, a theoretical framework from a Danish QoL survey involving 7,222 persons 31 to 33 years old. For further validation, SEQOL and SCREENQOL were sent to 2,460 persons 18 to 88 years old randomly selected from the Danish Central Person Register together with Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) and Sickness Impact Profile (SIP). For SCREENQOL and SEQOL, test-retest reliability correlation was both >0.8, Cronbach�s alpha was 0.65 and 0.75, correlation (r) to NHP was 0.67 and 0.49, to SIP 0.46 and 0.27, respectively (p

Abstract: According to demands of curriculum 2013, assessment carried out on school should have led to increasing of higher order thinking skill. The lack of availability of questions are specifically designed to develop student’s higher order thinking skill causes students are not really proficient in solving higher order thinking skill questions. This study was research and development research purposing to determine development steps and quality of higher order thinking skill test instrument in one of high schools chemistry topic, i.e. colloid. The process of developing a higher order thinking skill test instrument used a formative research designed by Tessmer through 4 stages, namely: preliminary, self-evaluation, prototyping (expert reviews, one-to-one and small group) and field test. The data were obtained from the results of filling out validation sheets by expert reviews, questionnaires filled out by students, and test/trial of higher order thinking skill test instrument on students. The results of the development were categorically valid logically and empirically. The reliability of the test instrument was 0,65 with the high category. The item’s difficulty level was in the medium category. Six questions had good distinguishing power and one question had enough distinguishing power. The higher order thinking skill of students were in excellent, good, adequate, lacking and very poor categories respectively: 15,14%;  12,12%;  42,42%;  24,24%;  6,06%.

This chapter presents a Model to Estimate the Human Factor Quality in Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) Development, or EHFQ-FLOSS. The model consists of three dimensions: Levels (individual, community, and foundation), Aspects (internal or contextual), and Forms of Evaluation (self-evaluation, co-evaluation, and hetero-evaluation). Furthermore, this model provides 145 metrics applicable to all three levels, as well as an algorithm that guides their proper application to estimate the systemic quality of human resources involved in the development of FLOSS, guide the decision-making process, and take possible corrective actions.
