Abstract

This paper presents the results of a study that aimed to develop a methodological approach to evaluate improvement process results in Chilean Schools. To this objective, the multicriteria analysis methodology Analytical Hierarchical Process AHP was applied. This is a tool that identifies criteria for the evaluation of a phenomenon considering the identification and the discussion of experts. In this case, the experts consulted were teachers, school principals, technical advisors and scholars, who discussed and analyzed the characteristics of school improvement in Chilean Schools. As a result of the investigation was possible to develop a hierarchical matrix with evaluation criteria, validated by experts, and propose indicators and information resources that allowed to implementing the evaluation process. Finally, an analysis of the results of the research, weakness and projections for this methodology implementation in different contexts was made.
