ABSTRACT
Good education with learning and development as key values enables people to overcome obstacles, make important changes, solve problems and improve individuals and societies. But nowadays, in many countries, the educational systems are the subject of growing criticism. Experts are concerned that a significant increase in resources geared to education throughout the last decades has not translated into an improved quality of education (OECD, 2013). Since educational systems were established, numerous attempts at school improvement have been undertaken with quality and efficiency in mind, and sometimes as drivers to promote equity and justice. Some initiatives for school improvement have been focussed on developing creativity and innovation, and a variety of methods have been used to promote all of these factors, including, most recently, evaluation, which requires information about how schools work and encourages a culture of professional reflection in schools. The main assumption behind the implementation of evaluation to education was about using knowledge from research to increase the chances of meeting objectives in education as part of building prosperous and developed society (OECD, 2013).
