Çalışmada elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda; Ofsted’in iyi örnek teşkil edecekdenetim uygulamalarına sahip olduğu, bağımsız statüsü ve kurumsalyapısıyla okul değerlendirme süreçlerinde gücünü ve etkisini koruduğu; Ofsted denetimlerinin ulusal stratejiler ve standartlara erişimeyardımcı olabildiği, öğretmenlerin sınıf içi uygulamalarını, yöntem vetekniklerini değiştirmesinde etkili olabildiği ve öğrencilerin başarılarının artışına katkı sağlayabildiği; buna karşın okullar üzerindeki stres vebaskıyı artırabileceği ve uzun vadede okul gelişimi bağlamında olumluetkilerine ilişkin yeterli kanıtların bulunmadığı görülmüştür.

INSPECTION PRACTICES IN THE CONTEXT OF SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT: SAMPLE OF OFSTED

In the study, document review method was used in accordance with the qualitative research approach. The findings are presented on the basis of two main titles. These are: (i) Ofsted’s institutional structure, main inspection practices and processes, (ii) the effects of Ofsted inspections on school improvement. In line with the findings obtained in the study, it has been seen that Ofsted sets a good example in inspection practices; maintains its strength and influence in school evaluation processes with its independent status and institutional structure; Ofsted inspections can help to accessing the national strategies and standards; is effective in changing teachers’ classroom practices, methods and techniques; contributes to the increase of students’ achievements.
