Scenario's for monitoring learning (gains) in Flanders: design research into feasibility and desirability

There are good reasons to get a (more) systematic picture of learning outcomes in Flemish compulsory education. However, systems for monitoring learning outcomes give rise to critical questions, and sometimes unintended effects (can) occur. This study substantiates possible scenarios for monitoring learning outcomes and investigates whether these are feasible and desirable in a Flemish context. Central to this research is the identification of design principles for setting up a tailor made monitoring system. This is done using a systematic literature review, a Delphi study and the study of foreign monitoring systems. Based on the design principles scenarios are written and tested with stakeholders during in-depth interviews.
