(Wiley Handbooks in Education) 1st Edition
by Kenneth J. Saltman (Editor), Alexander J. Means (Editor)
The Wiley Handbook of Global Educational Reform examines
educational reform from a global perspective. Comprised of
approximately 25 original and specially commissioned essays, which
together interrogate educational reform from a critical global and
transnational perspective, this volume explores a range of topics and
themes that fully investigate global convergences in educational reform
policies, ideologies, and practices.
The Handbook probes
the history, ideology, organization, and institutional foundations of
global educational reform movements; actors, institutions, and agendas;
and local, national, and global education reform trends. It further
examines the “new managerialism” in global educational reform, including
the standardization of national systems of educational governance,
curriculum, teaching, and learning through the rise of new systems of
privatization, accountability, audit, big-data, learning analytics,
biometrics, and new technology-driven adaptive learning models. Finally,
it takes on the subjective and intersubjective experiential dimensions
of the new educational reforms and alternative paths for educational
reform tied to the ethical imperative to reimagine education for human
flourishing, justice, and equality.
