Helen Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 A student engaged in her Master's research around quality assurance would really appreciate some answers to these questions: INDICATIVE INTERVIEW QUESTIONSFor Personal Information: exploring work experience and current responsibilities1) Gender, position, type of contract2) How many years have you been working in education sector?3) How do you manage the quality of teaching as a school head teacher / inspector?For the research focus:1) What do you understand by quality assurance? What quality assurance mechanismsare used in case of your school? Who is involved? How is it organised? Could youtell me about your experience?2) What is the main purpose of using quality assurance mechanisms at schools?3) Have you noticed significant improvement in the performance of students on theirexamination and national tests after any OFSTED inspection?4) In Turkey, the way OFSTED works is considered as ‘best practice’ in terms of qualityassurance. What do you think about OFSTED inspections? Do you think OFSTEDinspections affect school improvement as it is claimed to do so?5) What are the pros and cons of the existing external quality assurance mechanisms?What improvements or reforms, if any, do you think could be made to the existingsystem?Thank you for your collaboration.Yours sincerely.Melek Thanks everyone! If you'd like to either discuss them here or PM Melek with your answers, we would really appreciate it :1b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_73 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Hi Helen. I missed this. As it mentions schools, exams, headteachers etc, is this aimed just at those currently working in schools? In which case I'm sure a few might be on holiday now. Is there a deadline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Hi everyone, I know there would not be such an inappropriate time to ask inspectors / headteachers / school governors to participate a research but the delay was not my fault. You do not have to be currently working as those positions but if you are experienced, that also works for me. I have to conduct either face to face or telephone interviews but your answers on this page also fine. If you are interested please PM me. I will really appreciate it. Since my deadline is on 20th August <_< Thank you very much and enjoy your holiday :wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
