Abstract
Education monitoring is quite a fresh field of the science of education, especially in Lithuania. This field is closely interrelated with methodology of educational research, education politics, education management, education economics, etc. The term “monitoring” has recently been introduced. It was first used by naturalists. This term was used in 1972 at a United Nations conference on environmental issues (in Stockholm). The term “monitoring” can be understood in diverse manners. Monitoring is defined as precise observation, as a precise scientific investigation and verification aiming at collecting certain information (The American Heritage Dictionary; cit. Cotton, 1988). Self-monitoring has also been widely discussed. Scientific literature indicates that M. Snyder was the first who used the term “monitoring” in 1974. Education monitoring has been investigated from different angles; much attention has been paid to the problem of quality of education in relation to monitoring. Education qualimetry (qualimetry is the sum of methods of quantitative evaluation of qualitative indexes, theory of the evaluation) has been increasingly developed.
