Abstract

This article presents a discussion of the evaluation of an educational intervention introduced by the Ministry ofEducation in response to social and political pressure. The social protest that started in Israel during the summerof 2011 addressed a variety of social issues, lasted through 2016 and led to the Ministry of Education decision toopen a new training programme for teachers. One of the aims of the intervention was to provide an additionaladult in classrooms of more than 32 pupils. To meet this goal, the Ministry required third-year student teachers towork at schools co-teaching with the classroom teacher three days a week. Twenty-five institutions of higherlearning representing 81 cities and communities responded “yes” to the call for a pilot programme. Using mixedmethods, the evaluation of the pilot was attentive to the voices of all participants and revealed the complexity ofthe programme. The conclusions and suggestions of the evaluation were supposed to feed into a policy decision,but unfortunately did not. Through a presentation of the evaluation of the programme and the issues it raised, thearticle contributes a significant example of how political constraints prevent institutions from dealing withevaluation conclusions and unintended outcomes of programs.

当政治驱动项目创新
本文讨论了教育部为应对社会和政治压力而引入的一项教育干预措施的评估。2011年夏天在以色列开始的社会抗议活动解决了各种社会问题,持续到2016年,并导致教育部决定为教师开设一个新的培训项目。干预的目的之一是在超过32名学生的教室里提供一个额外的成年人。为了实现这一目标,教育部要求三年级实习教师每周三天在学校与任课教师共同教学。代表81个城市和社区的25所高等院校对试点项目的呼吁表示赞同。采用混合方法,对试点的评估注意到所有参与者的声音,并揭示了项目的复杂性。评估的结论和建议本应纳入一项政策决定,但不幸的是没有。通过对该计划的评估及其提出的问题的介绍,本文提供了一个重要的例子,说明政治约束如何阻止机构处理评估结论和计划的意外结果。
