Managing External Accountability Through School Networks: Circuit-Level Collaborative Capacity, Internal Accountability Processes, and Teacher Professional Agency in Ghanaian Basic School Circuits

This study demonstrates that in Ghanaian basic schools, performance-based accountability pressure translates into teacher professional agency through internal accountability processes, a conversion pathway that is significantly amplified by high circuit-level collaborative capacity, thereby revealing school networks as active structural conditions that shape how external demands are internalized.

Networks of commitments: from social ties to normative expectations

This paper presents a co-evolutionary agent-based model demonstrating how individual beliefs dynamically evolve through a feedback loop where joint commitments structure social ties, which in turn generate normative expectations that reshape future commitments, leading to complex outcomes such as polarization, convergence, or fragmentation.
