Reconstituting Schools: "Testing" the "Theory of Action."
Malen, Betty; Croninger, Robert; Muncey, Donna; Redmond-Jones, Donna
Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v24 n2 p113-32 Sum 2002
Identified key elements of the "theory of action" embodied in reconstitution reforms and examined them in light of findings from a 2-year study in 3 schools. Evidence suggests that the theory of action in such reforms may be seriously flawed, as dominant patterns of implementation ran counter to the major premises of the policy. (SLD)
