1 EUROPEAN STUDIES CENTRE ST. ANTONY S COLLEGE, OXFORD The Ethics of Accountability in Education Assessment Professor Paola Mattei Associate Professor in Comparative Social Policy University of Oxford Paola.mattei@sant.ox.ac.uk Symposium: Teacher Ethics in Assessment Oxford University Centre for Educational Assessment (OUCEA) & Ofqual The Wire Louie and Jane I don t want to go to school It s not good the teachers don t know 26 March, 2015 St Anne s College, University of Oxford anything, they re mean and tired like why is there even an America? (Jane) Public Accountability: why bother? Accountability as institutional mechanism Why is accountability important? Public Accountability and democratic theory (Waldron, 2014) Accountability essential for effective public-private partnership and for market-based collaboration and new tools of government (John, 2011; Ranson, 2003; Christensen and Laegreid, 2007) Central elements of accountability (Mulgan, 2014; Finer, 1941; Mattei, 2012) Delegation of authority from accountor to accountee (agency) Public process (transparency) Consequences (responsiveness) Five formally structured relationships that influence public organization functions and performance Political Principal-agent delegation to elected officials Administrative/managerial Ministerial accountability (pre-npm); financial auditing; top political executive controls; accountability for performance and results ( managerial accountability ) Professional Codes, standards, norms Legal Courts Social Clients, customers, interest groups through media, public panels 1
2 Multiple and competing accountabilities Measured Performance Indicators: New Accountability in Government Direction M Logic Focus Types of accountabilityrelationships Political Managerial Professional Clear democratic Accountability to Accountability primarily to accountability lines from owners/shareholders (private) professional forums and peers electorate to elected or autonomous agencies if politicians public. Emphasis on broader public Emphasis on value for Emphasis on medical/ good/interest money educational evidence Process dimensions Output dimensions: bottom Clinical output/outcome (openness, involvement, due line, business strategy; market process etc.) and politically based coordination determined goals A new approach to public services governance in the 2000s: targets and measured performance indicators linked to negative feedback/rewards (Osborne and Gaebler, 1992; Chubb and Moe, 1990) Was it a decisive breakthrough in governance or a partial repeat of the some of the history of the Soviet Union (Bevan and Hood, 2006)? Key question: how far is the world of cheating and output distortions unethical? Source: Mattei et al, 2013; Mattei, 2012 Governance by league tables and targets: a necessary evil? Targets threshold standards that a person, organization, country is expected to reach at a specific time They have powerful incentive effects in organizations They help organizations to focus on performance deficits League Tables Use of indicators to compare the performance of different organizations They attract media attention Can encourage good performers to continue Should they be scrapped all together (as in Scotland and Wales in )? Performance management systems: does the removal of league tables matter?

3 England, Wales and Scotland: Pupils with 5+ A* to C GCSEs and SCQF at Level 5 (Mattei, 2012) 65% 60% 55% 50% 45% 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% Assessment as an accountability tool 1960s: secret garden of the curriculum (David Eccles, Conservative Secretary for Education, cited in Timmins, 1995) Late 1980s onwards: accountability through measured assessment and performance indicators (Baird, 2014) 2000s: output targets (based on exam results) and new performance management systems (Lawn, 2014; Mattei, 2012) to address underperforming schools Wales England Scotland Performativity accountability regimes and controversies Pro-reform claims External public scrutiny of the teaching profession through measurable outcomes Information available to parents to bring the sanction of exit (market accountability) Learning and professional self corrective measures Minimize teacher assessments and stereotyping against ethnic minorities (Burgess and Greaves, 2009) Anti-reform claims Narrowing of the curriculum Teaching to the tests and negative curriculum reallocation Gaming and cheating by teachers Cream skimming (entry selection) Schools give up on low performing students and focus on those on the margins Need for broader indicators (child wellbeing) Some problems with targets and PIs Threshold effect incentive to concentrate on meeting the minimum target e.g. teachers concentrate on narrow band of students on the margins to achieve targets Output distortion incentive to those subject by targets to concentrate on achieving success at the expense of other factors which are not measured by the target e.g. teaching to the test (at the expense of sports, arts) 3
4 Output distortions and cultural conditions Grid-Group cultural theory and four control systems Role of culture (Mary Douglas, 1966; Christopher Hood, 2000; Dan Kahan, 2006) in policy making and administrative process. Design performance indicators sensitive to organisational culture. Why? How individuals and groups respond to measures depends on four types of control systems/cultures Strength of distortions Ofqual survey questionnaire on acceptability of cheating behaviour is a measure of culture GRID Fatalism Low group cohesion, apathy, sense of disorder and distrust Individualism Privileges markets, unbridled entrepreneurialism competition, and deregulation GROUP Hierarchy Oversight through within a hierarchy characterised by strong regulation and rulebound institutions Egalitarianism Mutuality, solidarity, communal governance, participative decisionmaking Types of actors/motivation (Hood 2007) 1) Saints : who may not share mainstream goals, but whose public service ethos is so high that they voluntarily disclose shortcomings to central authorities 2) Honest triers : who broadly share mainstream goals and do not voluntarily draw attention to their failures, but do not attempt to spin or fiddle data in their favour 3) Reactive gamers : who broadly share mainstream goals, but aim to spin or fiddle data if they have a motive or opportunity to do so. 4) Rational maniacs : who do not share mainstream goals and aim to manipulate data to conceal their operations (gross misconduct) Illustration from another field: gaming the transplant system in the United States For a patient in need of an organ transplant, life is a waiting game! Low Group Low Grid Individualist control system and cultural conditions Majority of hospitals: private non-profits 78% of all medical procedures performed on a fee-for-service basis (incentives volume targets and rewards) Most remunerated procedure (transplant), highest DRGs for hospitals High transplant prices average liver transplant now more than $577,000 and bonuses for surgeons Policy challenge: do market pressures combined with high prices transplant surgeons command, and financial incentives and bonus rewards encourage unethical cheating behaviour? 4
5 Cases of cheating by surgeons: control systems or motivation? 2002: University of Illinois teaching hospital Federal lawsuits against three centres in Chicago ($2mil to settle the lawsuit) Misleading medical information and inappropriate hospitalisation Admission to Intensive Care Unit to jump the transplant waiting list in the region (Department of Justice, 2003) MELD introduced in 2002 (new medical standards) sharp decrease in admissions to ICUs (Snyder, 2010) Largest decrease in ICU admissions in markets with highest provider competition (controlling for surgeons rewards system) Findings: cheating associated with type of target (volume expansion, 12 procedures per year) and type of reward (bonus) Public trust (O Neill, 2011) and morality in public policy Public policy discourse of efficiency/accountability is now increasingly tied to morality and trust (Simpson and Baird, 2013) Malpractices in public services may diminish public trust In live organ transplant (scarce supply), this is detrimental-- drop in organ donation has severe implications for patients Strengthening defensive medicine and defensive teaching Erosion of professional ethos and demoralised professions Future research and policy challenges: Ethics and Gaming in Education Is cheating in the education system caused by regulatory failure or individual human action? What is the relationship between cultural conditions (Grid- Group theory) and educational assessment? Do some control systems deliver a better game-proof design? What are the potential effects of changing administrative values and cultures (e.g. increase relational distance between teachers and regulators) on the strength of output distortions? Why ethics and accountability? Move beyond institutional mechanisms and formal arrangements in the field of accountability Understanding accountability through human relationships and social interactions (Bovens, 2002; Dubnick, 2006) Multiple diverse conflicting expectations (MDCE) from policy makers who face dilemmas and make choices among opposing values (Dubnick and Romzek, 1993; Mattei, 2015) Accountability is intrinsically an ethical question. Prestige management increasingly significant with PIs governance Achieve moral status in the eyes of others (not only about bonuses) Avoid moral blame that might result from wrongdoing 5
6 Nozick s ethical theory and public policy: moral pushes and pulls Action as outcome of tensions between moral push and moral pull Moral push my own values internal motivation, individual, that determines own moral conduct based on self-worth Internalisation of values Moral pull the others values external, institutional values and demands, conduct based on the others values (structures and procedures) Moral pull of A puts a moral constraint on B and determines the behaviour of B in accordance to A values When does ethical action occur? Moral push is equal or greater than the moral pull Conclusion If production and economic values Then, conflict between compliance and fidelity 6
