Lifelong Education and Evaluation Practice : A Study on the Development of a Framework for Designing Evaluation Systems at the School Stage in the Perspective of Lifelong Education

This report develops a comprehensive conceptual analysis of educational evaluation and then applies the analysis to identify particular kinds of evaluation that would be especially important under lifelong education. The treatment of evaluation is general enough to incorporate evaluation practice operating under virtually any educational philosophy. While the study does focus primarily on the learner and the school, the conceptual distinctions and practical conclusions are applicable to nonformal and informal educational settings Content: Front Matter, Page iii Copyright, Page iv ABOUT THE AUTHOR, Page v FOREWORD, Pages xi-xii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, Pages xiii-xiv CHAPTER 1 - EVALUATION AND THE PRINCIPLES OF LIFELONG EDUCATION, Pages 1-22 CHAPTER 2 - CONCEPTUALIZING EVALUATION FOR LIFELONG EDUCATION, Pages 23-51 CHAPTER 3 - DEFINING AND ASSESSING SPECIFIED EDUCATIONAL GOALS IN FORMATIVE AND SUMMATIVE EVALUATION, Pages 53-87 CHAPTER 4 - OPEN EDUCATIONAL GOALS, EDUCABILITY, AND SELF-DIRECTION, Pages 89-126 CHAPTER 5 - FUTURE LINES OF DEVELOPMENT FOR EVALUATION UNDER LIFELONG EDUCATION, Pages 127-139 REFERENCES, Pages 141-149 INDEX, Pages 151-155
