The managerial decision-making in school quality management
Journal Title: Pedagogicka Orientace - Year 2012, Vol 22, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper presents some methodological applications of design-based research regarding the relation between managerial decision-making and the quality of a school. With the support of the theoretical principles of decision-making and the concept of a good school, we review the real eff ects of our decision-making processes in the phase of constituting a school and developing the school curriculum. The project is a private, bilingual primary school. The quality of the decision-making processes represents the basis of the quality of the school. During a 4 year period, we were observing and evaluating how the initial decisions were reviewed and changed during the cyclical process of analysis-design-evaluation-new design. Based on our process experience, we off er some interpretations which might contribute to wider understanding of decision-making processes of the management of schools. Concurrently, we make use of the research outputs to refine a practical solution to benefit the surveyed school.
