System Performance and Policymaking in West European Education: Effectiveness, Efficiency, Responsiveness, and Fidelity
Coombs, Fred S.; Luschen, Gunther
International Review of Education, 22, 2, 133-53, 76

Presents and discusses four constructs--effectiveness, efficiency, responsiveness, and fidelity--which relate the output of an educational system to the important educational, economic, political and social factors which influence the formulation of educational policy.
