What will you learn about educational quality?
The concept of quality is defined by the Organic Law of Quality as a way to achieve better exercise of individual freedom, allowing for personal fulfillment, as well as the highest possible social progress. It aims for progress to also improve economic growth and allow citizens to achieve a high balance between social well-being and individual well-being. Here, quality is defined as something real, as a tool that can be used to pursue the best possible educational performance, along with social and personal values, and the overall development of the person.
Educational quality is defined in the Organic Law of Education, which specifies that it is the improvement goal implemented in the educational system. In this law, we can also see the set of measures that can be applied to achieve this educational goal. This concept began to be used after achieving free education for all at the end of the 20th century. After this, the focus shifted to going further, offering not only free education but also aiming for it to be of the highest possible quality.
With this idea shared by many countries, a common approach was sought for all educational systems, combining actions to improve them and achieve more and more goals. This was when the Organic Law of Participation, Evaluation, and Governance of Educational Centers was approved in 1995, alongside modifications to the Organic Law of the General Educational System (LOGSE, 1990). The Organic Law on the Quality of Education (LOCE, 2002) was also enacted.
What is Educational Evaluation?
Educational evaluation is defined in the LOGSE as an essential activity for analyzing the different elements of the educational system that help achieve the set objectives. Later, the LOCE links quality with the evaluation process itself, determining who is responsible for it: teachers, the center, students, and the system in general. Therefore, evaluation becomes a process carried out with the aim of improving teaching quality, by studying the methods used and the applicable measures for its enhancement.
In the Education Law of 2006, educational evaluation is defined as an accountability process, which arrived in Spain in the early 90s and aimed to achieve transparency in all centers facing the educational administration. Through this, educational institutions had to demonstrate how they used the resources provided to them and the results they achieved, granting them greater autonomy in their usage. The evaluation process assesses the learning processes carried out by students, as well as the activity of teachers, the educational process itself, the functioning of educational centers, and the role of educational processes and inspections.
