Despite a lack of conclusive evidence connecting autonomous schools and academic success, school autonomy is regularly championed as being a way of not only improving schools but as a way of improving the quality of education in socially and economically deprived areas. This research builds on a recent paper published in Irish Educational Studies that argues that school autonomy should not be advanced in Ireland by exploring how teachers feel about features of autonomous schools. Irish teachers who have previously worked in academy schools in England, and who now teach in disadvantaged schools in Ireland, were interviewed about their experiences and how they would feel about features of autonomous schools being implemented in Ireland. The experiences the participants had in England indicate how school autonomy can be experienced in different ways – morally proper ways that engage with the broad purposes of schooling such as focusing on students and their learning, and morally improper ways that prioritise looking good on external measures at the expense of students and their learning. Overall, the participants were opposed to schools in Ireland becoming more like English academies but felt that having greater local flexibility over the curriculum in schools and offering a wider range of subjects would be beneficial, provided that it was embraced and enacted in a morally proper manner.

Сегодня качество образования определяется не приобретенными знаниями, умениями и навыками, а возможностями для развития духовно-творческого потенциала личности участников образовательного процесса. Переосмысление критериев оценки качества образования в российском образовании в начале XXI в. выявляет условия, способствующие развитию творческих способностей личности в педагогике искусства. Изменение критериев качества образования приводит к изменениям целей образования, а также детерминирует необходимость осмысления процесса и результатов педагогической деятельности не только на уровне методики преподавания предмета, но и на уровне общепедагогических подходов, ориентированных на развитие личности. Цель настоящего исследования – разработать и апробировать на практике серию заданий, направленных на развитие личности обучающихся в процессе обучения основам композиции и основам цветоведения. В ходе исследования использовался комплекс методов. Основные теоретические положения и выводы исследования опираются на анализ, синтез и систематизацию материала по проблеме целей и ценностей педагогики искусства, развитие творческих способностей личности. Эмпирические методы исследования (изучение продуктов деятельности обучающихся, педагогический эксперимент) применялись в ходе апробации серии заданий, направленных на развитие личности участников образовательного процесса. Педагогика искусства определяет целью и ценностью личностно ориентированного образования гармоничное развитие и становление духовно-творческой личности участников образовательного процесса (обучающегося и педагога). В художественном образовании личностно ориентированный подход важно сочетать с семантическим подходом, акцентирующим внимание обучающихся на понимании значения, смысла средств художественной выразительности, изучении языка изобразительного искусства. Анализ теоретических источников, а также результаты апробации заданий по основам композиции и цветоведения выявили, что развитие творческих способностей личности обеспечивают личностная значимость содержания образования, ценностные мотивы учения, обеспечение педагогической поддержки личностного развития ученика, сочетание личностно ориентированного подхода с семантическим подходом в обучении основам композиции и цветоведения.

<p><em>Education is a very important thing in Indonesia. It is the main concern of this nation, because education will determine the direction of progress of a nation. Education is a conscious and planned guidance from educators on the physical and spiritual development of students towards the formation of humans who have the main knowledge and personality. In the process of education, science must be owned by educators and taught to students so that it will be able to be absorbed and developed more optimally. To find out the success or failure of the guidance received by students, it is necessary to conduct an evaluation to find out the development of knowledge taught by the teacher. In teaching, successful evaluation determines the steps that can be taken by students and teachers in knowing the development and improving the quality of education in the future. Currently technological advances have a direct impact on the world of education where e-learning-based teaching becomes an option that can support and teach students in developing materials and abilities in the field of technology. Moodle is one of the evaluation programs that use technological progress to facilitate and teach students to get to know more about technological progress.<strong></strong></em></p>
