Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) is a methodology to measure the quality of a product. It was first used in the early 1920s of the last century in car factories to ensure their products quality. A sample of the cars manufactured by the production lines is tested to ensure its quality. Thus, the test result is mainstreamed to all cars. Through this methodology, poor quality products or “defects” can be quickly and accurately identified so that they can be disposed or repaired. As it would be a very expensive and time-consuming process if manufacturers checked the quality of each individual product they produce. Therefore, LQAS methodology provided sampling that allowed the classification of an entire production unit by testing a small number of randomly selected products of that unit. If the selected products meet the minimum quality standards, the producers are satisfied that the entire unit has met the minimum quality standards, and if a sufficient number of those selected products do not meet the minimum quality standards, then the entire unit is rejected. This methodology was first used in the humanities, including education, about 20 years ago. Using such a methodology in the education sector enables the Ministry of Education and field directorates to control the quality of the teaching and learning process, and to classify schools as “Achieving” or “Not achieving” the minimum standards of performance quality. Likewise, the MOE’s officials can categorize field directorates as “Achieving” and “Not achieving” the minimum performance standards.

The current study sought to test the stability of the new classroom observation tool that was developed by the initiative, and to reveal the extent of consistency among educational supervisors in their understanding of this tool. The study sample consisted of 80 male and female teachers who taught early grades in 10 schools in five education directorates in the three regions during the first semester of the 2019/2020 academic year.

A guide to using the private electronic educational supervision system for early grades in Jordan. The Reading Arithmetic with Understanding and Arithmetic for the Early Grades (RAMP) initiative is a development program adopted by the Jordanian Ministry of Education, with the aim of establishing methodologies and practices for learning reading and arithmetic in the early grades, in all Jordanian public schools. The initiative seeks to raise the levels of early grade students in reading and arithmetic, so that they are able to read fluently, comprehend and perform problem analyses.

The Early Grade Reading and Mathematics Initiative (RAMP) has a great interest in the quality of the data related to the initiative’s activities, whether in term of the trainees’ data (teachers, school principals, educational supervisors, or senior teachers), classroom observation data, community of practice data, and other data. To ensure data quality, it was necessary to develop clear and specific Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to be used by the Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) team in data audits and quality control.

The Early Grades Reading and Mathematics Initiative (RAMP) attaches great importance to the quality of data related to the initiative’s activities, both in terms of... Relating to data of trainees (teachers, school principals, educational supervisors, support teachers), or data of classroom observations, or Learning communities data, and other activities. To achieve data quality, it was necessary to establish clear, standard operational procedures to be used by the monitoring and evaluation team in data auditing and quality control processes.
