Gordon, Neve; Halper, Jeff – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2009

Zasloff, Barbara; Shapiro, Adina; Coyne, A. Heather – United States Institute of Peace, 2009

Shen, Hua; Ziderman, Adrian – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education and Educational Planning, 2009
Student loans schemes are in operation in more than seventy countries around the world. Most loans schemes benefit from sizeable built-in government subsidies and, in addition, are subject to repayment default and administrative costs that are not passed on to student borrowers. We probe two issues in this paper, for 44 loans schemes in 39…

Many of the explanations for girls' disinterest in physics focus on the role of the educational system in creating this situation. Here, we use evidence from free-choice science learning settings to study if this lack of interest is also expressed in non-school settings. Three sets of self-generated questions raised by children, adolescents and…

The majority of "The Standards for Evaluations of Programs, Projects, and Materials" (SEPPM) turns out to be helpful for Israeli evaluators in checking their working plans and reviewing evaluation studies.

Nevo, David – Studies in Educational Evaluation, 1994
School-based evaluation, the focus of this article, is conceived of as neither a synonym for internal evaluation nor an antonym for external evaluation, but as a combination that is examined through a review of recent research. A school-based evaluation in Israel illustrates combining these approaches in a complementary way. (SLD)

Zuzovsky, Ruth – Studies in Educational Evaluation, 1999
Describes the problems inherent in scoring performance assessment on a large scale, focusing on the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and scoring for Israeli students. In spite of the weaknesses in the scoring approach, the effort seems to have empowered teachers. (SLD)
