A Fundamentação Estatística, O Governo Da Educação E a Inclusão E Exclusão Sociais
O Programa Internacional de Avaliação de Estudantes (PISA), da Organização para a Cooperação e o Desenvolvimento Econômico (OCDE), pode ser entendido historicamente como uma forma particular de dizer a verdade sobre as pessoas e a mudança. Primordial nesse estilo de raciocínio da investigação contemporânea e das reformas escolares é a estatística. Historicamente, as estatísticas modernas envolvem o paradoxo da administração das populações pelo Es…
The sociology of education as the history of the present
The paper explores the fabrications of human kinds in pedagogical research. It examines the social and psychological sciences of education as producing independent spaces for the study of people in order to act on them and as a cultural thesis for people to act for themselves. Further, it explores the principles generated about who the child is and should be. It is argued that the making of human kinds embodies particular historically generated m…
The Limits of Teacher Education Reforms
Contemporary U.S. schools and professional reforms call for teachers to have greater disciplinary and pedagogical knowledge for teaching school subjects. Reform efforts leave unexamined the rules and standards of "reason" that historically order school subjects. The notion of alchemy provides an analytic "tool" to consider the processes of translation from disciplinary knowledge to teaching practices. It is argued that the intellectual tools of s…
The Alchemy of the Mathematics Curriculum
School subjects are analogous to medieval alchemy. There is a magical change as mathematics, science, and social sciences move from their disciplinary spaces into the classroom. The educational and social psychologies have little or nothing to do with understanding disciplinary practices. They are intellectual inventions for normalizing and governing the child’s conduct, relationships, and communications. The author examines this alchemy in stand…

Introduction Critical Traditions, Modernisms, and the "Posts"
My own position in this debate is to consider the particular intellectual contributions of Foucault, Bourdieu, and certain feminist theories in rethinking the problematic of schooling. I express this position in the first chapter that follows. This chapter, then, is to be viewed in relation to other traditions of thought that are expressed in the other chapters, bringing into focus the conversations among traditions as they are reworked to consid…
Critical Theories in Education
This book examines critical theories in education research from various points of view in order to critique the relations of power and knowledge in education and schooling practices. It addresses social injustices in the field of education, while at the same time questioning traditional standards of critical theory. Drawing on recent social and lit
