PISA, Policy and the OECD

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the OECD's PISA for Schools test, this book delves into its global educational governance and policy cycle, from development to local implementation in the U.S. Using a policy sociology lens, it highlights how spatiality and power influence educational practices. The author reveals how PISA for Schools shapes local schooling through distinct yet interconnected methods: governing by heterarchy, respatialisation, and the promotion of 'best practice', ultimately affecting how education is perceived and enacted in various contexts.
