Quality regulated by the law. Evaluation at school viewed in the light of the ongoing changes in the educational supervision
The article discusses problems connected with the implementation of qualitative changes imposed on schools by legal regulations. The internal evaluation has been discussed in the light of the changes in the educational supervision which have been taking place over the recent years. The analyses conducted in this article prove that legal regulations exert a powerful influence on qualitative actions undertaken by schools. The schools, however, do not act solely following the changes in legal regulations. Moreover, those constant changes result in teachers’ disbelief in the permanence of the implemented solutions. Introducing the changes in educational supervision and assisting the schools in their realization of the tasks resulting from the currently binding directive by the Ministry of Education of 7 October 2007 on Educational Supervision it seems a good idea to draw from the experiences that the schools have in the field of assessing the quality of their work and to show the continuity of the actions promoting quality introduced to schools with legal regulations since 1999.
The article has been inspired by the report written by Danuta Elsner and Krzysztof Bednarek entitled “Two Years of Internal Evaluation – opinions of the educational environments” presented at the conference “Quality of education or/and quality of evaluation. Leaders’ roles and development” which was held in Kraków between 30 March and 2 April 2012.
