Research themes and research questions Theme Research Question 1. Description of the Danish school system, emphasising primary and lower secondary education in the ‘Folkeskole’ How is the Danish school system organised, and which contextual factors can be presumed to affect the economic governance of the Danish school sys- tem? 2. Governance of resource use How is the use of resources governed, planned and implemented? 3. Resource distribution How are resources distributed across levels, sectors and groups of students? 4. Resource utilisation How are resources utilised in relation to various pro- grammes and priorities? 5. Resource management How are resources managed? How is the use of re- sources evaluated, and how do managers follow-up on resource use? The review not only covers financial resources but a wider range of four types of re- sources: 2 The cost-effectiveness definition of effectiveness complies with Boyne’s concept of Cost per unit of outcome. Boyne understands effectiveness as the achievement of the formal objectives of services, independently of the costs (Boyne 2002: 18). It should be noted that in a complex multi-objective context, such as the Danish School System, effects may not only be hard to measure, but effect studies are also unlikely to be able to measure effects in relation to all the objectives of the national school system, nor to, say, balance effects in relation to different goals and different target groups against each other on a value-free basis (Boyne 2002; Flynn 2012). Accordingly, no study of effectiveness will be able to calculate the total effectiveness of the school system, but will potentially provide valid knowledge on effectiveness in relation to some of the core goals. 18 Resource type Financial: e.g. public financing of the individual school and financial transac- tions between different levels of the school’s administration. Human: e.g. teachers, school leaders and administrative personnel. Physical: e.g. buildings and equipment. Targeted programs: e.g. support programmes for special student groups, programmes with specific political goals, and programmes aimed at improving school management. 1.2 Data and methods Methodologically, the description of the Danish school system (Theme 1) is based on a purposeful selection of relevant legal documents, evaluations and statistics that have been further analysed. Methodologically, the analyses of Themes 2 to 5 are based on a systematic review of scientific articles, books, national evaluations, consultancy re- ports etc. studying governance of resources, resource distribution, resource utilisation and resource management in the Danish context. Informed by the indicators of The OECD’s Guidelines for Country Background Report (Directorate for Education and Skills 2013), a number of subthemes have been synthe- sized to guide the review. These review-guiding subthemes are presented below for each of the four review-based themes in Table 1.1. Download 1.6 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
