The conception of quality as a foundation for education and learning at upper secondary school : a presentation of a research project. Paper presented at NERA's 31st Congress, 6-9 March, Copenhagen

• The aim of the project is to analyse variation in how the concept of quality is conceived. A review of earlier research and of evaluation reports will be made, together with a study of conceptions of quality criteria and of quality in education and learning among different interest groups. A group of newly qualified upper secondary school teachers will be followed, with the aim of describing their experiences regarding aspects of quality, and how these experiences develop. Teachers’ answers to the quesstion »Why do you want to teach?« will be analysed.
