Wise, Serenity; Buck, Ralph; Martin, Rose; Yu, Longqi – Policy Futures in Education, 2020
This article explores the values that bridge democracy and community dance. Policymakers show an interest in promoting democracy, including the very values shared between community dance and democracy. Observing this, we propose that policy may benefit from examining the pedagogy and practices of community dance, and incorporate relevant aspects…

The election of the first indigenous president in Bolivia, Evo Morales (leader of the Movimiento al Socialismo, MAS), and of Rafael Correa in Ecuador (leader of Alianza País, AP) were important turning points in the social and economic history of these two countries.

Ford, Brian – Policy Futures in Education, 2020
This is the second of three articles on "Sources of Authority in Education".

This movement is based…

Bredberg, Johan – Policy Futures in Education, 2020
In today's digital society, people encounter a lot of information on a daily basis. This information should be understood by citizens in order for them to be able to properly engage in political issues, something the population of a healthy democracy does. Much of such information involves mathematics and fully comprehending it requires so-called…

Blumsztajn, Anna – Policy Futures in Education, 2020
The article investigates the instrumentalizing and ontological effects of the concept of equality of educational opportunity (EEO). Starting with the Coleman report (Coleman et al., 1966), through the democratization of secondary and tertiary education, and reading it in light of the recent debate on educationalization of social problems (Smeyers…

Oliverio, Stefano – Policy Futures in Education, 2020
In this article, after delineating a Deweyan framework that reclaims the autonomy of education against any instrumentalization, while not curtly writing off the vocabulary of instrumentalism, I will address the question of the "what and what for" of education in reference to schooling and, more particularly, to an emerging emphasis on…

Barton, Colin C. – Policy Futures in Education, 2019
In the post-truth era, information is harder to trust than ever before. News has become more about entertainment than information and consumers now subscribe to media in order to have their view reinforced and not challenged. The media environment has become more tribal, defining the people who consume it. On top of this environment, the plague…

Boxley, Simon – Policy Futures in Education, 2019
When we "learn nature," do we encounter her as 'free' in the sense of having neither cost nor price? Is she something 'given'? And is that which nature offers us 'gratis'? In the UK, many schoolchildren have been encouraged to 'give thanks' for nature's gifts. But why, if she is free, give thanks; and thanks to whom? If one learns to…

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has a key role in driving educational discourse and global educational governance.

Yeh, Cathery – Policy Futures in Education, 2018
The effects of neoliberal policies have increased inequalities globally and nationally, diminishing democratic accountability.

Shchurko, Tatsiana – Policy Futures in Education, 2018
After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Belarus began to develop a national system of education trying to balance the prioritization of Soviet legacy, strong state control, and processes of democratization. The system of education is a powerful translator of dominant ideologies and legitimate concepts, including the concepts of gender and…

Wubbena, Zane – Policy Futures in Education, 2017
The 2011 Chilean student protests were a powerful social movement aimed at transforming education and, with it, the social spaces and formations of daily life. This social movement was pedagogical because students transformed the city into a classroom to gain control over the production of space. In this vein, the student movement provided a…
