Educational Governance

In this thematic area, researchers investigate many aspects concerning the validation of effectiveness of instruments for quality development and quality assurance. Here, the validation can target the level of individual institutions, the level of (local and regional) education authorities or the level of general political governance.

The effects of individual measures are analysed, but the functionality of approaches to the fulfillment of specific tasks is also investigated, or the political effects of new governance concepts are introspected.
