- W93965718 abstract "This thesis reports on the way in which action research techniques %% ere used to conduct atwo-year programme of commissioned research. This programme consisted of a brief intwo phases from the English National Board for Nursing Midwifery and Health Visiting todevelop performance indicators (PIs) for training institutions on a national basis.The substantive research findings are reported. and the contribution of particular aspects ofaction research to the research project are evaluated, with reference both to the literature onperformance monitoring in the public sector and the literature on educational actionresearch.The research findings from a first phase of work show that terminology about performancemonitoring is confused, especially with respect to distinctions between qualitative andquantitative issues. They also show that much current practice neglects important ethicalissues such as potentially conflicting models of accountability. An analytic framework istherefore proposed for clarifying various aspects of this terminology and incorporating anethical dimension which locates information systems within a context of differing andpossibly competing interests.The thesis then describes how this framework was used to develop a second phase ofresearch within a policy environment which had, by that time, become highly unstable.Findings from this second phase showed that it would be possible for the Board to specifysome core data items from which nationally agreed PIs could be developed, but not withoutfurther debate about accountability structures and different models of resource allocation.The research project made an active contribution towards assisting the development ofperformance and quality monitoring structures at training institution level by publishingsome of the research tools, literature and findings as a teaching pack ( Balogh et al 1989).The specific contribution of action research to this project is evaluated by reference toLew in's (194) original formulation, to Smith's (1981) distinction between four levels ofdiscourse: the discipline, the paradigm, the operational and the technical, and to insightsdrawn from the critical policy analysis literature. This multi-disciplinary evaluation proves tobe useful in contributing to critical debate on nurse and midwife education policy, and moregenerally in relation to the rapidly developing field of human services managementinformation systems." @default.
