The managerial decision-making in school quality management %A Voda Jan %J Pedagogicka Orientace %D 2012 %I Czech Pedagogical Society %X The paper presents some methodological applications of design-basedresearch regarding the relation between managerial decision-making and the qualityof a school. With the support of the theoretical principles of decision-making andthe concept of a good school, we review the real eff ects of our decision-makingprocesses in the phase of constituting a school and developing the school curriculum.The project is a private, bilingual primary school. The quality of the decision-makingprocesses represents the basis of the quality of the school. During a 4 year period,we were observing and evaluating how the initial decisions were reviewed and changed during the cyclical process of analysis-design-evaluation-new design. Based on our process experience, we off er some interpretations which might contribute to wider understanding of decision-making processes of the management of schools. Concurrently, we make use of the research outputs to refine a practical solution tobenefit the surveyed school. %K quality of school %K primary school %K curriculum %K decision-making process %K design-based research %U http://www.ped.muni.cz/pedor/archiv/2012/PedOr12_3_Manazerske_Voda.pdf
