Milner, Alison L.; Mattei, Paola; Ydesen, Christian – European Educational Research Journal, 2021
Strategic government interventions in public education have shifted and blurred the boundaries between state, market and civil society modes of governance. Within this matrix of interdependent relations, schools operate under increasingly hybrid accountability arrangements in which public accountability can both complement and compete with market…

Nilsberth, Marie; Liljekvist, Yvonne; Olin-Scheller, Christina; Samuelsson, Johan; Hallquist, Claes – European Educational Research Journal, 2021
This paper takes an interest in how schools and teachers dealt with new demands when teaching rapidly went online during school closures related to the COVID-19 pandemic, in what we see as an example of emergency remote teaching. The aim is to make visible how schools and teachers dealt with the demands that they were confronted with while under…

Emmerich, Marcus – European Educational Research Journal, 2021
Niklas Luhmann's late concept of inclusion/exclusion in world society compensates for the lack of a systems theory of social differentiation, but ultimately remains incomplete. Moreover, it is remarkable that Luhmann apparently never linked the inclusion/exclusion concept to his late theory of the education system. The following considerations…

Vanderstraeten, Raf – European Educational Research Journal, 2021
Niklas Luhmann speaks of the function of education in relation to modern society. Only within modern society, he argues, is it possible to speak of the differentiation of a specific function system of education. It is, more particularly, the differentiation of other function systems that leads to the question about the function of education. I…

Mangez, Eric; Vanden Broeck, Pieter – European Educational Research Journal, 2021
In an effort to address the relationship between globalisation, education and Niklas Luhmann's branch of systems theory, we present his essay, published here for the first time in English translation, 'Education: Forming the life course', next to the nine contributions that compose this special issue and build on this and his other writings to…

Luhmann, Niklas – European Educational Research Journal, 2021
This article is an English translation of Niklas Luhmann's essay, "Erziehung als Formung des Lebenslaufes." Any review of what takes place nowadays in the "education system" soon reveals that no account, let alone theory, covers everything to be found there. It embraces not only schools and universities but also kindergartens…

Corsi, Giancarlo – European Educational Research Journal, 2021
System theory defines the life course ("Lebenslauf") as the medium of education. It is a medium, because the educator sees it as a potential for intervention, impressing pedagogically acceptable forms onto it. Yet the single individuals who are educated are autonomous observers who are exposed to an immense quantity of possible…

Kurtz, Thomas – European Educational Research Journal, 2021
This article presents introductory considerations on a sociological outside description of the educational system. After this particular form of a sociological perspective has been determined, which, unlike pedagogical research, does not necessarily depend on the fact that its observations in the educational system can be connected, this distanced…

Steiner-Khamsi, Gita – European Educational Research Journal, 2021
The article presents two key concepts of sociological systems theory -- externalisation and structural coupling -- and applies them to explain (a) the exponential growth of international large-scale student assessments and (b) the rise of 'policy-relevant' educational research. The author concludes with a comparison between key concepts used in…

Andersen, Niels Åkerstrøm; Pors, Justine Grønbaek – European Educational Research Journal, 2021
Taking a point of departure in the paradoxical fact that the increase in educational knowledge leads to an increase in uncertainty for educational organisations, this article explores how uncertainty and contingency have increasingly become an integral part of school governance. The article draws on Niklas Luhmann's theory of 'World Society' as a…

Knudsen, Hanne – European Educational Research Journal, 2021
Worry conversations (in Danish, "bekymringssamtale") and other network meetings are normally described as offering integrated solutions to complex problems by connecting a variety of views and resources. Adopting a systems-theoretical approach, this article suggests that worry conversations can be better understood if viewed as a…

Vanden Broeck, Pieter – European Educational Research Journal, 2021
In his posthumously published work on education, Niklas Luhmann (1927-1998) described his approach to the sociological observation of the educational system as a formal one. Only by refraining from more substantial definitions, based on what teachers hope to convey, he claimed, can education be understood in all its historical and geographical…

Hansen, Petteri; Sivesind, Kirsten; Thostrup, Rune – European Educational Research Journal, 2021
This study focuses on the politics of time in education by analysing 'The Future School' reports published by Nordic state authorities between 2010 and 2015. Building on a system-theoretical understanding of social time, steering and second-order observations, we investigate how temporal political communication frames the future of Nordic basic…

Tomaszewska-Pekala, Hanna; Marchlik, Paulina; Wrona, Anna – European Educational Research Journal, 2020
The theoretical framework of the paper combines the notions of school disengagement and educational trajectories. Our current research has demonstrated that several trajectories of school disengagement can be distinguished: "unanticipated crisis, parabola, downward spiral, boomerang, resilient route, shading out." The text focuses on two…

Lorinc, Magdolna; Ryan, Louise; D'Angelo, Alessio; Kaye, Neil – European Educational Research Journal, 2020
Periods of being NEET (not in education, employment or training) can have long-term consequences for individuals' future job opportunities, earnings, psycho-social well-being and health, all with high societal costs. Therefore, policy-makers across Europe seek interventions that successfully reduce NEET numbers. Drawing on a longitudinal…
