| Abstract | Although two economic methods, cost effectiveness and benefit-cost analysis, are frequently mentioned as useful tools for educational decision making, only one, cost effectiveness, has potential for making a contribution to this field. A benefit-cost analysis tries for each alternative to measure benefits and costs, which are then discounted to yield a present value. Unofrtunately, in educational systems benefits cannot be measured, and the idea of a discount has no meaning. However, a cost effectiveness analysis may have application to education since it compares the different costs of alternatives against the different performance levels on objectives. A decision criterion must be able to relate and measure all the performance of difference alternatives. Most educational organizations do not have the data for a cost effectiveness analysis, yet the thinking and judgments on relative value and performance are most desirable. (WH) |
