ABSTRACT

This article examines the effect of policy tools, street level administration and implementation condition on policy performance in creativity education policy in Korea using both secondary administrative data and survey data gathered from 191 higher middle school teachers. The findings suggest that the impact of policy tools varies according to type: while curriculum regulation has statistically positive and significant relationship with performance, neither facility improvement grant nor creative management grant does. It is also suggested that street level bureaucrat expertise and school management are positively associated with performance. The article concludes with a discussion of the impact of policy tools, street level administration on policy performance.
