It takes issue with the argument, promoted by government departments and agencies that education policy research should be limited to work that assists policy-makers. Against this position, the book advocates independent, critical research that scrutinizes policy in relation to its consequences for equality and social justice. It argues that practitioners and academic researchers should form a research community that develops its own knowledge base from which so-called evidence based policymaking in education may be assessed and challenged.   The book offers guidance on the theoretical and methodological resources available to practitioners and others with an interest in doing research on policy and discusses some of the main issues and problems in doing policy research on education. It offers examples of research on policy at different system levels, pursuing themes such as globalization, changing governance of education, selection, choice and exclusion, managerialism and the feminisation of educational management. It argues for attention to the history of policy in education as a resource for understanding the present, and concludes with recommendations for future research in areas where contestation of official agendas is needed.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50709022867729,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50709022900497,"sku":"GOR005026307","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52621319209233,"sku":"GOR014565621","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52734946836753,"sku":"NIN9780335202959","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53458030330129,"sku":"GOR003377094","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0335202950.jpg?v=1751450293"},{"product_id":"fabricating-quality-in-education-book-jenny-ozga-9780415583428","title":"Fabricating Quality in Education","description":"This book argues that data and their use constitute a form of governance of education. It highlights the ways in which education is steered and managed so that a European education policy space is fabricated through data which travel across national systems, and which enter and restructure provision to make it measurable, comparable and governable.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52521976234257,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52521976660241,"sku":"NLS9780415583428","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415583428.jpg?v=1760574073"},{"product_id":"world-yearbook-of-education-2006-book-jenny-ozga-9780415500999","title":"World Yearbook of Education 2006","description":"This volume considers the ways in which educational research is being shaped by policy across the globe. Policy effects on research are increasingly influential, as policies in and beyond education drive the formation of a knowledge-based economy by supporting increased international competitiveness through more effective, evidence-based interventions in schooling, education and training systems.   What consequences does this increased steering have for research in education? How do transnational agencies make their influence felt on educational research? How do national systems and traditions of educational research - and relations with policy - respond to these new pressures? What effects does it have on the quality of research and on the freedom of researchers to pursue their own agendas?   The 2006 volume of the World Yearbook of Education explores these issues, focusing on three key themes:    globalising policy and research in education  steering education research in national contexts  global-local politics of education research.   The 2006 volume has a truly global reach, incorporating transnational policy perspectives from the OECD and the European Commission, alongside national cases from across the world in contrasting contexts that include North and South America, Canada, France, Singapore, China, Russia and New Zealand. The range of contributions reflect how pervasive these developments are, how much is new in this situation and to what extent evidence-based policy pressures on research in education build on past relationships between education and policy.   This book considers the impact of the steering processes on the work and identities of individual researchers and considers how research can be organised to play a more active role in the politics of the knowledge economy and learning society.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53659723235601,"sku":"NLS9780415500999","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415500999.jpg?v=1781431533"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-jenny-ozga.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
