Abstract

This paper deals with the issue of school management and the processes of evaluation and self-evaluation with regard to the implementation of the education for sustainable development concept in schools. The theoretical part of the paper gives an overview of the basic issues related to the terms, and shows the significance of the efforts of school management for the development of holistic approaches in the implementation of the education for sustainable development concept in schools. The research was conducted in 40 primary schools on the sample of 740 primary school employees. Regression analysis was used to determine the number and type of evaluation/self-evaluation processes that contributed to the effort/activities of school management with regard to the implementation of the concept in schools. The results indicated that the evaluation and self-evaluation processes in schools accounted for 52% of the efforts/activity of school management in the implementation of the education for sustainable development concept in schools. However, there was also an indication of insufficiently developed processes which could contribute to a more significant development of the work of school management, to a holistic development of the education for sustainable development concept in schools, and to the reform of schools as future sustainable communities.
