An Evaluation of the Institution of the Greek Pedagogical Institute: Viewpoints of its Former Presidents

Drosia Goupou

Abstract

The analysis of the Greek Pedagogical Institute is part of the wider scope of

the Greek educational policy. More specifically, the institution of the Greek
Pedagogical Institute is treated and debated both theoretically and empirically.
The theoretical analysis of the wider frame and basic aspects of the institution
is complemented with a qualitative research approach. The purpose of the 
research was the examination of the views of former presidents of the Greek 
Pedagogical Institute on the institution itself. In particular, the views of six
former presidents on the Institute’s physiognomy, organization and operation,
projects, framework of cooperation and contribution to education (curricula,
textbooks, teachers’ training) have been recorded through semi-structured
interviews. The analysis of the material was achieved with the method of 
qualitative content analysis. The findings which resulted from this research
illustrate a portrait of the Greek Pedagogical Institute. They comprise an all
-embracing assessment of a long-lasting and multi-faceted institution, which
 contributed in the implementation of different educational policies, the
endorsement of educational reforms, as well as the promotion and 
introduction of innovations in education.

Keywords: educational policy, educational reform, Greek Pedagogical Institute, content analysis
