Eficacia Escolar, Investigación, Organización escolar, Escuela.Resumen
El Movimiento teórico-práctico de Eficacia Escolar ha pasado, en pocos años, de ser una humilde línea de indagación empírica que agrupaba a estudiosos de algunos países a convertirse en el movimiento de investigación educativa más influyente y que más ha aportado en la toma de decisiones educativas tanto en el nivel de la administración general como en la mejora de la escuela en todo el mundo. Sin embargo, esa influencia ha incidido en que se multipliquen las críticas hacia el mismo, criticas que están generando serias dudas acerca de la calidad de sus aportaciones. En este artículo haremos una revisión de las críticas más importantes formuladas y las contrastaremos, más brevemente, con algunas las aportaciones más relevantes del mismo, de esta forma estaremos aportando una información objetiva que nos permita determinar cuál es realmente la calidad y pertinencia de las lecciones que este movimiento nos ha legado. Con ello, esbozaremos algunas ideas de cómo tiene que desarrollarse este movimiento en el futuro.
