ABSTRACT
The task of this chapter is to identify some of the key components of schooling processes that might be useful to teachers and administrators, and provide some strategies for their measurement. The first section lists some of the general problems entailed in collecting process data, and asks whether it is a worthy enterprise. The second section provides a map of the territory, and, like a world map, offers only one of many possible projections, and is necessarily on a large scale. The section that follows presents a list of key components of schooling processes and makes some suggestions for their measurement. The penultimate section discusses some of the issues concerning the measurement and interpretation of data on schooling processes. The chapter concludes with a list of guidelines for the development of indicators of schooling processes. In Chapter 10 I elaborate the idea of using process data as part of a school or district research program.
