Organizational Perspectives on Accountability and Learning: Cases Highlighting Innovative Practice (OPAL-CHIP)

该项目开展与问责和学习的组织观点(OPAL)有关的进一步工作，这是一个为期三年的项目，旨在审查孟买和加德满都的学校资助模式、问责和学习成果之间的关系。Opal的初步结果显示，考虑到学生的家庭背景，公立和私立学校的识字和算术成绩有很大重叠。Opal-Chip以这一发现为出发点，调查了识字和算术成绩高于预期的公立学校的学校管理做法和关系。Opal-CHIP调查了孟买和加德满都表现优异的公立学校，考察了那些学习成绩优异的学校，以及那些正在开展创新变革计划以改善学习的学校。从本次调查中，本研究选取了六所学校进行个案研究，数据收集自访谈、焦点小组和学校观察。通过案例内部和跨案例的专题分析，对案例研究数据进行分析，为孟买和加德满都的教师和班主任计划举办讲习班。在这些讲习班中，学员将分析和讨论案例研究中的例子，重点是学校教育中不同形式的问责、程序和组织文化的关键方面。案例研究结果还将通过简短的信息性视频传播给广大观众。

This project conducts further work related to Organizational Perspectives on Accountability and Learning (OPAL), a three-year project that examines the relationship between school funding models, accountability, and learning outcomes in Mumbai and Kathmandu. Preliminary results from OPAL show that there is a substantial overlap in the literacy and numeracy outcomes in public and private schooling when taking into account students' home backgrounds. OPAL-CHIP takes this finding as a point of departure, investigating school management practices and relationships in those public schools with higher than expected literacy and numeracy outcomes. OPAL-CHIP surveys high performing public schools in Mumbai and Kathmandu, looking at schools with high learning outcomes and those that are undertaking innovative change programmes to improve learning. From this survey, it selects six schools for case study research, with data collected from interviews, focus groups, and school observations. These are analyzed using thematic analysis both within and across cases.The analysis of case study data is used to plan workshops for teachers and headteachers in Mumbai and Kathmandu. In these workshops, participants will analyse and discuss examples from the case studies, focusing on the different forms of accountability within the schooling, the processes, and key aspects of the organizational culture. Case study findings will also be disseminated to a general audience via short, informational videos.
