| Popis: | Growing complexity of educational systems implies that the administrators of these systems can benefit from operations research. Operations research can aid business decisions in schools, but the more vital problem is to aid in the basic educational decisions: particularly the allocation of resources to educational activities. Two models are proposed as initial efforts in this direction. The aggregate effect of resource allocation on student achievement in a school is given by: D = Σ A i n i T i μ i S i ν i M i η i where D is an index of student achievement, Ti is the teacher-student ratio Si is the space per student Mi is the dollar expenditure of materials per student all for grade i. Ai, μi, νi and ηi are constants. A second model calculates ni, the number of students in grade i by means of flow equations. The consequences of these models are explored in examples. |
