Improving the Quality of Childcare Provision through Self-Assessment: Organizational Characteristics of Nurseries as Predictors of the Ability To Plan and Implement Change.
Munton, Anthony G.; Mooney, Ann
Early Child Development and Care, v148 p21-34 Jan 1999
Investigated use of standardized questionnaires to establish organizational characteristics of group day-care providers in self-assessments. Examined processes by which nurseries instigate group discussing of self-assessment procedures, establish priorities for change, develop action plans, and implement change. Identified several suitable self-report measures. Findings raised issues of how effectiveness of such measures in improving day-care quality could be enhanced. (JPB)
