Szwabowski, Oskar; Gruntkowska, Dominika – Policy Futures in Education, 2021
In this article, we use the zombies as a metaphor for reforms in the Polish academy and a description of how neoliberalism works. According to the interpretation of the production of zombies as a critique of late capitalism, we want to show, by using an autoethnographic method, how subjectivity, relationships with others and the world are changing…

Ito, Hiroshi; Takeuchi, Shinichi – Policy Futures in Education, 2021
Active learning has emerged as a means of developing generic employability skills that enable students to prepare for an uncertain future. In this context, many universities have encouraged their instructors to practice active learning. While some scholars indicate challenges with adopting this approach, few empirical studies have examined…

This study explores the role of John Dewey's educational philosophy before and after World War I. Before World War I, Dewey's educational philosophy emphasized individualized and socialized development for learners, importance of children's education, and encouragement of diverse and creative educational measures. Although these views did not…

Wiseman, Alexander W.; Davidson, Petrina M. – Policy Futures in Education, 2021
The spread of neoliberalism in the South African education system provides a template for ways that regimes co-opt the values of excellence and equality while implementing policies that contradict these values. Specifically, South Africa's education system is "cloaked" in equality, although institutionalized inequality persists long…

Vlieghe, Joris; Zamojski, Piotr – Policy Futures in Education, 2020
In this contribution to the Special Issue on the instrumentalisation of education, we focus on the relation between politics and education, as today there is a dominant discourse on rendering education subservient to the realisation of political aims. Rather than analysing the many ways in which such instrumentalisation takes place, we propose to…

Lewis, Tyson E. – Policy Futures in Education, 2020
In this article, the author problematizes two well-known positions on the relationship between means and ends in education. On the one side, there are those who problematize the means of education without necessarily redefining its ends, and on the other hand, there are those who challenge the purported ends of education while maintaining certain…

Dworakowska, Katarzyna – Policy Futures in Education, 2020
In the article I argue that the category of exhaustion constitutes the key to contemporary instrumental education. In my analysis I draw from Sloterdijk's diagnosis of modern consciousness and the Deleuzian concept of exhaustion. My contention is that an explanation for a durable rule of market logic can be found in the fact that traditional…

Carusi, F. Tony; Szkudlarek, Tomasz – Policy Futures in Education, 2020
Recent work in education research and policy studies has been critical of the view that sees education as a fix for social problems. This perspective invites a reconsideration of the relationship between education and society that breaks from the long held instrumental assumptions informing most education theory and policy, wherein education is a…

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…

Sosnowska, Paulina – Policy Futures in Education, 2020
The aim of the article is to posit the question whether, or under what conditions 'instrumentalism' can be seen as a viable target of the philosophical critique of education. Firstly, I will briefly review and compare three critical conceptions in modern philosophy that interpreted Western civilization as a form of instrumentalism, yet, at the…

Alexander, Monique; Massaro, Vanessa A. – Policy Futures in Education, 2020
The purported purpose of school choice policies is to increase students' access to "good schools." There is little discussion, however, of where those good schools are located, nor of the ways in which the distribution of good schools mirrors broader patterns of uneven development in the United States. Given that schools are neighborhood…
