Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Content:
(Inter)national developments in the field of planning, assessment, and evaluation in education will be addressed as will their effects on schools. We will investigate some historic cases; however, current trends and issues concerning the audit explosion, which has assumed central importance in advanced industrial societies, will be a primary focus of study in this seminar. The keywords 'accountability movement,' 'school autonomy,' and 'quality monitoring' are closely linked to those of planning, assessment, and evaluation, which is why these terms are taken up and critically examined. The side effects of practicing education as a practice of measurement in the greater context of the Anthropocene will conclude our studies in this course.

Methods:
1. Read and discuss English-language seminar literature.
2. (Co-)facilitate discussion of course readings.
3. Conduct independent literature research.
4. Examine and present case studies of planning, assessment, and/or evaluation in education.
5. Practice and refine academic writing through hands-on writing activities on the literature.
6. Actively participate in class discussions and group activities. Class attendance is expected.
