Running behind Google
The Democratic Digitalisation (DD) suite, a free non-commercial software platform implemented in pilot primary and secondary schools in Barcelona, has become a paradigmatic case internationally, both for its attempt to offer an alternative to Google’s hegemony and for the involvement of its promoters in debates within the European Union oriented at fostering democratic digitalisation and digital sovereignty. With the aim of identifying the driver…
Philanthropic governance in a Southern European setting
Educational innovation has gained significant traction in the global education reform movement in recent years, with international organizations actively pursuing it. This paper examines the role of the discourse of a network in advancing educational innovation reforms in a Southern European context. Specifically, we explore how the New School 21 network (in Catalan, Escola Nova 21, EN21) has promoted these reforms in Catalonia (Spain). EN21 oper…
Making sense of testing
In recent decades, countries in both the global North and South have adopted data-intensive policy instruments such as performance-based accountability (PBA) to improve student learning outcomes and become more competitive in the global knowledge economy. However, existing literature shows that the adoption of such policy instruments does not always result in school improvement but can lead schools to adopt policy decoupling mechanisms or even un…
Teacher collaboration
Against imposition, we defend education
Between 2011 and 2015, at the dawn of the global financial crisis, Spain went through severe austerity measures that led to social unrest and to the emergence of new expressions of collective action. In the educational field, teachers’ unions and grassroots movements organised against the neoliberal and neoconservative policies promoted by the central government and several regional governments. The case of the Teachers’ Assembly in the Balearic …
Digitalised higher education
Higher education is already profoundly digitalised. Students, academics, and university administrators routinely use digital technologies, many of which rely on data, including artificial intelligence. Universities aim to operate as data-powered organisations to support institutional efficiency and the personalisation of learning and student experience. These developments are occurring against the backdrop of university digital infrastructure mov…
A quién educan las plataformas digitales? Equidad y ética educativa en un contexto de post pandemia
El uso de plataformas digitales se ha generalizado en los sistemas educativos de muchos países del mundo, sobre todo durante y después de la pandemia del COVID-19. A pesar del creciente interés que genera este fenómeno, aún existe poca evidencia sobre los procesos de adopción de estas plataformas en distintos contextos escolares, y sobre sus impactos sobre la equidad del sistema educativo. Por ello, este artículo analiza cómo distintas caracterís…
Understanding the Stakes
Under test-based accountability, side-effects —including practices to inflate test results, often seen as cheating—are usually associated to so-called high-stakes policies. However, the influence of different types of stakes in the generation of this type of practices has been overlooked in education research. Based on a survey experiment, our results indicate that the type and level of stakes of accountability systems (e.g., high- vs. low-stakes…
School Governance Through Performance-Based Accountability
Performance-based accountability (PBA) has gained popularity worldwide due to its promise to strengthen the effectiveness and equity of educational systems. Nonetheless, its implementation does not always generate the expected reactions within schools. Through a configurative review, we systematically reviewed 133 empirical studies focusing on PBA side effects. We provide novel insights into the literature on PBA side effects, generating a better…
Globalization, Privatization, and the State
Soberanía Digital y Educación
El presente postdigital está caracterizado por una suerte de plataformización de la sociedad liderada por las grandes corporaciones tecnológicas, y que tiene consecuencias en aspectos relacionados con la datificación, la gestión de la privacidad y los derechos de la ciudadanía. El concepto de soberanía digital surge como un espacio de reflexión en construcción sobre el que diferentes actores, especialmente administraciones, proponen gestionar der…
New and old educational inequalities in socio-cultural minorities
In 2016, the Chilean Ministry of Education implemented the new School Admission System (SAS) designed with the goal of equalizing access to schools for the most disadvantaged families and reduce educational segregation. Yet it is not clear if the SAS is sensitive to socio-cultural minorities and their particular conditions. Hence, in this article we explore the school choice experiences of parents from three socio-cultural minorities under the ne…
Privatización educativa digital
La privatización de la educación ha dejado de ser únicamente analógica. Las expresiones analógicas de exoprivatización y las expresiones analógicas de endoprivatización ahora vienen acompañadas de nuevas expresiones digitales de privatización. Este artículo realiza aportes conceptuales y analíticos para investigar cuatro nuevas dinámicas de privatización educativa del capitalismo en su era digital. La primera son las “redes políticas de gobernanz…
Plataformas y digitalización de la educación pública
La introducción de plataformas digitales a gran escala está transformando los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje y la gobernanza escolar. A pesar de su rápida implementación en sistemas educativos de países muy diversos, aún disponemos de poca evidencia sobre cuáles son los factores y las razones que explican la adopción de plataformas digitales de grandes corporaciones tecnológicas en los sistemas educativos públicos. Partiendo de la teoría de …

Teachers' beliefs about standardised testing and test‐based accountability
The global popularity of test‐based accountability appears to signal political trust in standardised assessments as valid and relevant measures of education quality. Nonetheless, research shows that educators' perceptions of standardised testing and test‐based accountability can vary significantly, as do their responses to accountability demands. Considering the key influence of teachers' beliefs on the way in which they respond to education refo…
The (im)possibilities of an ideal education reform. Discourses, alliances and construction of alternatives of the Rosa Sensat movement in Catalonia
This article analyses the case of Rosa Sensat teachers’ movement in Catalonia during the final years of Francoism and the transition to democracy in Spain (1965–1990). This movement was a key actor in education reform debates in that period. Based on the perspective of political process theory, the article focuses on the contextual, organisational and discursive dynamics that define the Rosa Sensat movement, and its role as a sociopolitical actor…
Nuevos movimientos sociales en tiempos de conservadurismo y austeridad
Durante la legislatura autonómica 2011-2015, el sector educativo de las Islas Balears se vio inmerso en un profundo proceso de reforma educativa que combinó la aplicación de estrictas políticas de austeridad con un ambicioso plan de reforma del modelo lingüístico. Como resultado de estas reformas surgieron nuevos actores colectivos y redes de acción conflictiva, y estalló un conflicto sin precedentes en el campo educativo balear, que culminó con …
Three decades of the framing perspective on social movements
This article reviews the development of the framing perspective on social movements since its emergence over three decades ago. The review led to three conclusions. During this period, the impact of the perspective has increased, its conceptual development has continued, and the types of the studies have shown major changes and continuities. For example, the initial predominance of descriptive and static studies has changed with the development o…
Teacher autonomy in the age of performance-based accountability
In recent decades, the governance of educational systems has experienced dramatic changes in many countries. Schools have been given more autonomy whilst being held increasingly accountable at the central level through standardized testing and other forms of external evaluation. The mechanisms of performance-based accountability (PBA) and the consequences attached to test results vary. In high-stakes systems, teachers’ careers are more directly c…
Why do opt-out movements succeed (or fail) in low-stakes accountability systems? A case study of the Network of Dissident Schools in Catalonia
External and standardized assessments based on student results are a contested education policy among school actors. Movements of opposition have emerged in different countries, especially in those contexts with high-stakes accountability systems. However, this phenomenon has not been analyzed in soft accountability systems. The objective of this article is to study the opt-out movement in Catalonia, understood as an anti-standardization movement…

Yes, it is possible! Framing processes and social resonance of Spain’s anti-eviction movement
There are few empirical studies on the cultural consequences of social movements. This article contributes to alleviating this problem, examining the cultural outcomes produced by the action of the Platform for People Affected by Mortgages (PAH), one of the most important social movement organizations to appear in Spain in the 2010s. Concretely, through qualitative methods, we analyse the content and form of the PAH’s discourse and the communicat…
Educational collateral damage. Disadvantaged students, exclusion and social justice
Reforming governance through policy instruments
In the last decades, most countries have adopted data-intensive policy instruments aimed at modernizing the governance of education systems, and strengthening their competitiveness. Instruments such as national large-scale assessments and test-based accountabilities have disseminated widely, to the point that they are being enacted in countries with very different administrative traditions and levels of economic development. Nonetheless, comparat…

The politics of educational success
The objective of the article is to examine what is ‘taken for granted’ in the policies designed to combat Early School Leaving (ESL) in Catalonia, identifying their implicit ontologies, causal assumptions and logics of action. In order to do so, the realist evaluation is applied. Specifically, this methodology has been applied to compare the discourses, priorities and policies of two key agents in defining and implementing policies to combat ESL …
Landownership Distribution, Socio-Economic Precariousness and Empowerment
I present fresh data that show the leading role played by smallholder peasants in land-use intensification, technical improvement and landscape transformation in Maresme County (province of Barcelona, Spain) between 1850 and the 1950s. As a reaction to their precarious situation, caused by an unequal landownership distribution (which is assessed by looking at the minimum-income and maximum workable farm sizes), smallholders drove agrarian changes…

El presente artículo hace una revisión de las principales teorías de la justicia aplicadas al campo educativo. En primer lugar, se muestran las aportaciones más importantes de la teoría social normativa al campo de la política educativa, enfatizando aquellas posturas que han sido dominantes históricamente: la meritocracia y la teoría de la justicia de Rawls. En segundo lugar, se exponen las limitaciones y las principales críticas realizadas a las…
New public management and the reform of education
En los últimos años, las reformas de Nueva Gestión Pública (NGP) se han intensificado en todo el mundo, convirtiéndose en una pieza central en la agenda educativa global. En consecuencia, muchos países europeos han emprendido procesos de modernización inspirados por la NGP (que en ocasiones, se combina con políticas pro-privatización), que están transformando los modos de gobierno y el ethos del sector público (Gunter, Grimaldi, Hall y Serpieri, …
Middle-class school choice in urban spaces
In recent decades, neoliberalism has transformed education systems worldwide through the privatization of education provision and the introduction of managerial logics into the public sector. Existing research puts emphasis on the global drivers behind neoliberal reforms and on the educational inequalities they generate. There is also research looking at the emerging educational movements trying to resist these reforms and promote a more equity d…

The growth and spread of large-scale assessments and test-based accountabilities
The Global Education Reform Movement (GERM) is expanding internationally and reaching countries that seemed to be immune to this education reform approach until quite recently. Accordingly, more and more educational systems in the world are articulated around three main policy principles: accountability, standards and decentralisation. National large-scale assessments (NLSAs) are a core component of the GERM; these assessments are increasingly us…
