Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Education constitutes a highly important and essential social function that contributes to the progress of each individual and to social welfare (Papanaum, 2005). Today, due to globalization, competitiveness and the knowledge society, educational systems are called upon to respond to a high level of complex changes in order to keep pace with current socio-economic developments (Solomon, 1999). To achieve this, the education system should be transformed into a system that emphasizes the student-centered, rather than the teacher-centered approach. This is possible by adopting experiential methods as well as integrating total quality management into secondary education (Serin, 2018). The purpose of this Special Issue of Education Sciences is to inform school principals, teachers and educators about the shortcomings in contemporary secondary education and to advance knowledge about the necessity of experiential methods and total quality management. Research that can help to advance such knowledge includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- The advantages of collaborative and innovative ways of learning and their application in secondary education.
- Total quality management in secondary education.
- The necessity of collaboration between school teachers, principals, parents and students for better learning outcomes.
- Investigation of the attitudes and perceptions of school principals about the contribution of evaluation to the efficient operation of schools at both the administrative and educational levels.
