SEALLL, the project
SEALLL aims to improve the quality of content, delivery, management andorganisation of adult learning throughthe introduction and promotion of self-evaluation in formal,non-formal and informal adult education.
SEALLL concept
SEALLL focuses on self-evaluation as a learning process. A culture combining self-evaluation with ownership of processes and outcomes is vital for an evaluation process to have a real chance to make an impact and lead to change. Therefore the priorities of SEALLL are a bottom-up approach and guiding the ‘initiators’ in the process of conducting their own evaluation.
Self-evaluation
Self-evaluation is seen to be self-initiated,internally organised and self-regulated. It should aim at the professionalisation of decision-making, at improving the achievement of the organisation’s own objectives and at enriching the quality of training, learning and management in the organisation. Where legitimacy and accountability based on externally imposed indicators are at stake, evaluation processes are referred to as external, even when they arepartly internally organised.
Self
The ‘self’ in self-evaluation can be an actor or a group of actors within the organisation: an individual suchas a teacher, trainer, learner, programmer, or director; or a group of individuals e.g. a group of teachers, the management team, or indeed the whole staff.
Evaluation is only considered self-evaluation if the initiator(s) also evaluate their own role in the process that is beingevaluated.
Instruments
Instruments are ‘evaluation instruments’ for collecting or gathering the necessary information. They are only self-evaluation instruments if they are used in a self-evaluation context.
