Educational Processes, Educational Practice, Action ResearchAbstract
This paper focuses on the improvement process in the educational setting, highlighting the importance of the participation of various agents, including students, parents, teachers, principals and other educational professionals. The improvement process is based on the continuous review and evaluation of educational practice, with the aim of identifying areas for improvement and addressing them effectively. The paper describes the different stages of the improvement process, starting with the identification of areas for improvement through data collection and analysis. These data are used to produce evidence-based reports that serve as the basis for planning necessary improvements. During improvement planning, areas for improvement are prioritized and action plans are designed to address them. The implementation of improvements involves the implementation of the action plans, with a focus on gathering evidence to assess the impact of the improvements. The improvement process is seen as a continuous cycle, with constant review and feedback to further adjust and improve educational practices. The paper also highlights the importance of the involvement of review and improvement groups throughout the process, as they help to identify problems, needs and areas for improvement, as well as to make evidence-based decisions. Several techniques and tools are mentioned, such as brainstorming, review guide, time profiles and cause-effect diagrams, which are used in the process of data collection and analysis. In conclusion, the importance of an evidence-based approach in the educational improvement process, with the active participation of multiple stakeholders and constant feedback to achieve higher quality education is emphasized. The improvement process is described as a continuous cycle of identifying areas for improvement, planning, implementing and reviewing, with the aim of optimizing educational practice and meeting the needs of students and the educational community at large
