Özet:

In Turkey, the concept of accountability is constantly expressed in recent years as a solution to the long-standing problem of efficiency and efficiency in the educational system. But this concept that is born and developed from the new public administration concept is not sufficiently recognized in Turkey, the relationship with school development is not sufficiently known. This study aims to show how accountability is understood in education and how schools play a role in improving academic success. In the appearance of the image, accountability, a social relationship that involves the process of accounting and giving, is understood as the need to make the necessary explanation and defence on access to the responsibilities taken on a row and to the apparent standards. Comptability is also considered as external control mechanisms that will serve to improve school capacity to enhance students’ academic achievements and to increase existing motivation in the school. External power focuses, such as parents interacting with schools, local people, senior governments and professional organizations, are further strengthened against schools, these focuses are given more control over school processes and outcomes, the created different pressure mechanisms are aimed at increasing motivation and capacity within the school and triggering change and development.
