Tarc, Paul – Canadian Journal of Education, 2012
The term "globalization" does more than represent a set of material (and ideological) processes that have impacts on education and schooling.

Bianchini, Paolo – Paedagogica Historica: International Journal of the History of Education, 2011

Education was…

Bulle, Nathalie – Comparative Education, 2011
The PISA survey influences educational policies through an international competitive process which is not wholly rationally-oriented. Firstly, PISA league tables act normatively upon the definition of formal educational aims while the survey tests cannot evaluate the educational systems' relative strengths with regards to such aims. We argue that…

In the eyes of policy, the transformation of European education systems has become essential. Economically, education change is deemed vital to the successful emergence of knowledge economies.
