虽然学校对学生进步的相对贡献越来越多地被用于世界各地的问责制度，但智利尚未达到增值模式（VAM）的势头。本小规模研究通过分析政策文件和采访当地政策制定者和研究人员对VAM的看法，定性地探讨了这种遗漏发生的政策背景。这些代理人和官方文件不仅指出了支持和反对增值指标的政治、方法和实际理由，而且还强调了支持（而不是反对）对赌和协议的道德和法律的理由。总体而言，将对赌协议纳入新问责制度的最主要原因是道德方面的考虑。一个反复出现的想法是，一个更公平的指标可以实现正义，特别是对那些在处境不利的环境中工作的学校。与此相反，反对对赌和接受汇率的最常见理由是方法上的。虽然在过去十年中对智利学校系统的VAM进行了研究，但它对政策竞技场的影响很小。鉴于建立评估增值指标的框架需要时间，需要政策和研究支持，并需要考虑潜在的意外后果，将其纳入智利学校问责制的道路才刚刚开始。
ABSTRACT Although schools’ relative contribution to pupils’ progress is increasingly used in accountability systems around the world, momentum for value-added models (VAM) has not been reached in Chile. This small-scale study explores qualitatively the policy context in which this omission takes place, by analyzing policy documents and interviewing local policymakers and researchers about their views on VAM. These agents and official documents not only point to political, methodological and pragmatic reasons for and against value-added indicators, but also highlighted ethical and legal reasons pro (but not against) VAM. Overall, the most prominent reason for including VAM into the new accountability system was the ethical consideration. The notion that a fairer indicator could make justice, especially for those schools working in disadvantaged contexts, was a recurrent idea. In contrast, the most recurrent reasons against VAM were methodological. Whilst research on VAM for the Chilean school system has been conducted over the last decade, it has impacted very little the policy arena. Given that the creation of frameworks for assessing value-added indicators takes time, needs policy and research support and needs to consider potential unintended consequences, the road towards including them into the Chilean school accountability system is just starting.
