A Provisional Balance on the Quality of the Education:
School Effectiveness and School Improvement
 
Mercedes Muñoz-Repiso y F. Javier Murillo
Abstract
 

The word quality is ambiguous, for that reason it is precise to begin delimiting its scopes of reference and the two levels included in the concept: the one of aims and the one of means. The aims belong to the world of the values; however the means or processes must be based on the knowledge acquired through research and the practice. For the education at this moment it is fundamental to question the “whys” and not only the instrumental questions. As far as means or processes to obtain a greater quality, two investigating traditions, those of effectiveness and those of scholastic improvement, contribute with evidences about which are the factors that affect the most on the students achievements and by which processes the changes are carried out. These traditions have become more complex with time and have improved their theories when being contrasted with empirical evidences; hence they can provide valuable contributions to the educative practice.

 
Key words
