Transforming methodologies – reconsidering the tools and logics of educational research in the digital era
This special issue of Learning, Media, and Technology asks how the digital transformation reshapes the methodologies of educational research. This question is deceptive in its seeming simplicity. O

From Victims to Economic Assets
The European Community (EC), afraid of lagging behind the United States and Japan in the technology race, developed a series of strategies in the 1980s and 1990s to enhance their position in the field of information and telecommunication technologies (ICT). One key strategy was the training and retraining of citizens to deal with the shortage of a highly skilled labor force. At the same time, women’s issues were being raised as part of the EC’s p…
Building the technological European Community through education
The Community Action Programme for Education and Training for Technology (COMETT) played a key role in paving the way for increased cooperation between the member states of the European Community (EC) in the field of education and in the promotion of intra-Europe mobility. In this article, COMETT is considered as a non-traditional education and training programme for solving economic challenges in the context of technological change that was focu…
Why do training regimes for early childhood professionals differ? Sweden and Switzerland compared
In Europe, there are many different ways in which early childhood education and care professionals are trained. This article investigates how these different forms came into being. Comparing two small, prosperous European countries, Sweden and Switzerland, we analyse the developments in training regimes for early childhood professionals since the 19th century using a historical institutionalism approach. We focus on corporate actors and the insti…
What can be achieved through education at all? A response to Julian Culp
In the following I would like to expose Julian Culp’s normative argumentation to some empirical considerations. My commentary focuses on one of the central premises of the book: Culp assumes that education can make a decisive contribution to solving the current challenges in plural and globalized societies. He states that recent political philosophy has unacceptably neglected the issue of education. But the book’s aim is not the theoretical deter…
History of Vocational Education and Training in Europe
The backbone of schooling
Funding, administration and social goals are aspects of school policy that are highly interrelated. No country has achieved universal primary education without relying mainly on taxes. This had profound consequences for educational administration. As soon as schools were no longer subsidised by private backers or ecclesiastical funds, administrators and inspectors had to learn new cultural techniques. Since early modern times and in international…
Verwaltete Schule
Aller Bürokratiekritik in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart zum Trotz ist die Bedeutung der Verwaltung im Bildungswesen nicht kleiner geworden. Gerade im Zuge der Debatten um die Einführung des New Public Management in der Bildungsadministration wurde die Rolle von Politik und Verwaltung immer wieder kontrovers diskutiert. Qualitätssicherung, Bildungsmonitoring, Bildungsvermessung und die damit einhergehende Rechenschaftslegung dringen tief in den schu…
Werke und Werkgruppen
Es gibt mindestens drei Merkmale, die auch ein soziologisch ungeschulter Beobachter intuitiv mit einer Organisation verbindet. Zum einen kann man der Organisation eigene Zwecke zuordnen, die sie mit den vereinten und dadurch potenzierten Kräften ihrer Mitglieder verfolgt. Unter diesem Aspekt hat man Organisationen auch als Perfektionsformen sozialer Kooperation beschrieben. Ferner fällt auf, dass es in allen Organisationen eine transitive Rangord…
