School Effectiveness: An Overview of Conceptual, Methodological and Empirical Foundations

Time to grow efficacious: effect of teacher efficacy on students’ classroom engagement

“…Teacher efficacy is a vital yet complex psychological construct and hence to work to manipulate it is always very difficult that needs expertise on the part of the trainers at the same time attention, attitude, intension, motivation, and willingness on the part of the participant teachers, along with close monitoring on the whole project by the researchers. As already stated, the school in this study was a poor performer in all quality parameters following the definition of the 'school effectiveness' in Burusic et al (2016).

Assessing School Principals' Perceptions of School Effectiveness in the Palestinian Schools

“…There are different models of school effectiveness that aimed at explaining and determining what makes school effective (Burušić et al, 2016). Most current school effectiveness research focuses on teaching and learning in relation to academic achievement.…”

“…School effectiveness research has been increasingly criticized for its excessively narrow focus on the measurement of school knowledge. (Burušić et al, 2016) demonstrated that the future challenge of educational effectiveness research is to develop valid and reliable measures of different educational outcomes, in addition to those narrowly cognitive. Botha (2010) argued that there should be two objectives for these studies: the first one is to identify the factors that can characterize effective school, and the second is to determine differences between these schools.…”
