The utilisation of a school self‐evaluation instrument
Abstract
School quality care has become important in many Western countries. Expectations are high, but little is known about the nature and extent of the use of self‐evaluation instruments within schools. From this longitudinal study into the use of a Dutch school self‐evaluation instrument, it became clear that schools vary in the extent to which they are able to make use of self‐evaluation results. A minority of schools in this study were able to use the self‐evaluation results for developing measures at the school and classroom level to improve the quality of education. Potential causes for the findings and alternatives for promoting the utilisation of school self‐evaluation instruments are discussed.

Data are often used in a conceptual manner, meaning data use leads to changes in teachers' and school leaders' thinking, although this does not necessarily translate into concrete improvement actions.
“Oftentimes, data are used in a conceptual manner, which means that data use leads to changes into teachers ' and school leaders ' thinking (Farley-Ripple et al. 2018; Lai & Schildkamp, 2013; Schildkamp and Visscher 2010; Weiss 1998), although this does not necessarily translate into concrete improvement actions.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
