A Comparative Analysis of American and Dutch Primary Public Education and Teacher Training: Essential Institutional Factors for Success
Abstract
This chapter provides a comparative analysis of the Dutch versus American primary public education systems within the framework of Donald Moore's Five Essential Supports. In addition, it analyzes and explores the importance of professional capacity/quality and its connection to standardized test scores on the TIMSS, PIRLS, and PISA. It starts with an overview of the state of the American public education system and moves into a comparative analysis in two separate parts: (1) within the macro, meso, and micro levels and (2) within the Five Essential Supports. Special focus is given to the professional capacity/quality of pre-service teacher training programs to better understand the interconnectedness of this support within the framework and its effects on test outcomes. By analyzing test score data, the authors explore if and how improved practicum teacher-training may improve standardized test scores and explore ways in which policy can change to improve teacher-training at the university level.
