Infrastructures and phantasmagrams of inclusions that exclude
The article is a diagnostic of how science 'thinks' as a mode of reasoning and space of action about inclusive education. Attention is given to the comparative reason generated in the Organization for Economic, Co-operation and Development's (OECD)'s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). The infrastructure or architecture of the assessment is an exemplar of a science designed to provide practical knowledge for producing inclusive…
Instruments of Power. The affective power of sound design in American music education
Music education in the United States has increasingly focused upon student creativity and practices such as improvisation. While such practices and changes are often conceptualized as flexible, inclusive reforms about making kinds of children, historically the curriculum has little to do with music and is instead concerned with taming uncertainty in the governing of child. We examine the Orff-Schulwerk pedagogy in the teaching of music, thought o…

International assessments as the comparative desires and the distributions of differences
The Organization of Economic, Cooperation and Development’s Programme for International Student Assessment (OECD’s PISA) is explored as a site of science as an actor managing a social life. Its calculations form at the interstices of multiple historical lines as a comparative reason about nations, societies, and populations. That reason is explored as (1) the affective structuring of desires; (2) the inscription of comparative principles that dif…
Introduction
Salvation, redemption & desire in the making of the nation
The paradoxes of practical research
There is an alluring, daunting, and haunting desire for practical knowledge in the contemporary social and education sciences about school change. This desire is not new: it haunts the turn of 20th century social sciences to change urban conditions and populations, and appears today in international school assessments and professional education. The article explores the paradoxes of practical research through a history of the present. Different h…
The Impracticality of Practical Research
There is an alluring desire that research should lead us to find the practical knowledge that enables people to live a good life in a just and equitable society. This desire haunted the 19th century emergence of the social sciences as a discipline, then became more pronounced in the postwar mobilizations of research. Today that desire lives on in the international assessments of national schools and in the structure of professional education, bot…
Estudos curriculares, história do currículo e teoria curricular
Palavras como “aprendizagem”, “empoderamento”, “resolução de problemas”, “autorrealização”, “comunidade” etc. tornam-se inteligíveis e “razoáveis” conforme regras e padrões historicamente formados que ordenam, classificam e dividem o que é “visto” e realizado na escolarização. Essas regras e padrões de razão são efeitos de poder e do político da escolarização. A primeira sessão analisa essa noção do político e a razão, considerando o currículo co…
Critical Analyses of Educational Reforms in an Era of Transnational Governance
Education by the Numbers and the Making of Society
The images connected to geographies of taxation matter as they can become aligned to wider political projects, programs and technologies aimed at shaping and anticipating the future of tax governance. Shaped by the classifications of their designers, such lists operate as technologies of knowledge condensation, comparison, organization and coordination. The metaphor of 'Tax Haven' has dominated the way of representing the problems of tax avoidanc…

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…
Introduction. La “Raison” de l'éducation, le “social” et l'étude de la scolarisation
L’auteur discute d’abord la raison comme historique, autant à travers les thèses scolaires et culturelles sur la façon dont l’enfant est et devrait vivre que comme effet des pratiques sociales et culturelles qui génèrent des principes sur ce qui est vu, mis en acte, discuté et espéré. Centrée sur les principes des sciences de l’éducation et des sciences sociales comme pratiques formant des thèses culturelles sur les modes de vie, cette introducti…

Guest Editors' Introduction
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…
Paradigm and Ideology in Educational Research (RLE Edu L)
This book explores the complex social assumptions and values that underlie research programmes about schools. The analysis of educational research draws upon American and European scholarships in the sociology of knowledge, social philosophy and the history and sociology of science. The discussion considers first the communal, crafts and social characteristics of educational research. Three research models empirical-analytic, symbolic or linguist…
La sociologie de l'éducation comme histoire du présent
À travers l’exemple de travaux sur la jeunesse, dans le monde anglophone aux États-Unis et en Europe, l’auteur interroge la fabrication par les sciences de l’éducation de types d’humanité, de fictions sur les individus, de production d’individus comme théories, programmes ou actions qui doivent assurer leur développement. Il ne s’agit plus de traiter ces études comme des données et des faits établis, bases d’explication, mais de les considérer co…
Schooling and the Making of Citizens in the Long Nineteenth Century
Democratic Education
Efforts to develop democratic schools have moved along particular rules and standards of ‘reasoning’ even when expressed through different ideological and paradigmatic lines. From attempts to make a democratic education to critical pedagogy, different approaches overlap in their historical construction of the reason of schooling: designing society by designing the child. These approaches to democracy make inequality into the premise of equality, …
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…
Why the Desire for University-School Collaboration and the Promise of Pedagogical Content Knowledge may not Matter as much as we Think
The Future Is Not What It Appears To Be.
This book examines changes in of knowledge in modern social life. The contributors provide important intinterventions in contemporary discussions about power, change, and the challenges that were r ...
The Formation of School Subjects
A Changing Terrain of Knowledge and Power
In the past decade, important struggles about the production of knowledge have taken place in history, the social sciences, and education. These struggles involve more than the “knowledge interests” that Habermas pointed to in the 1970s; instead, they point to important epistemological ruptures in the doctrines of “reason” that have dominated social and political debates since the late 19th century. This questioning reaches into the presuppositio…
The Denial of Change in Educational Change
Our conventional assumptions about school policy and evaluation are that schools are known and stable entities, and that the objectives and purposes of evaluation are relatively straight-forward. Drawing initially on a Norwegian evaluation of Norway's educational system, this essay views the problems of policy studies and evaluation as related to social and cultural changes that produce ambiguity and uncertainty in the practices of education. Fur…
Dulling the Senses
The Learning Society, the Unfinished Cosmopolitan, and Governing Education, Public Health and Crime Prevention at the Beginning of the Twenty‐First Century
The ‘learning society’ expresses principles of a universal humanity and a promise of progress that seem to transcend the nation. The paper indicates how this society is governed in the name of a cosmopolitan ideal that despite its universal pretensions embodies particular inclusions and exclusions. These occur through inscribing distinctions and differentiations between the characteristics of those who embody a cosmopolitan reason that brings soc…

Rethinking decentralization and state/civil society distinctions
In a variety of national contexts, there have been discussions about the changing relations of the state to the educational arena. Often, these discussions talk about centralization and decentralization of the state or of the devolution of power, the latter referring to shifts in the loci of power to geographically local contexts, for example through community governance of education. These discussions, it is argued in this essay, tend to positio…

Is the National Research Council Committee's Report on Scientific Research in Education Scientific? On Trusting the Manifesto
The National Research Council Committee's report, in part a response to congressional legislation, pursues an outline for the foundations of an education science necessary for policy making. This article focuses on these foundations and argues that they have little to do with science and its relation to policy may not be as fruitful as the committee believes. The so-called bedrocks of science are based on, at best, weak premises and an unrigorous…

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…
Dewey, Vygotsky, and the Social Administration of the Individual
Current constructivists’ pedagogies draw on the writings of early 20th century Russian psychologist Vygotsky and the American phhilosopher/psychologist Dewey. This occurs without examining the historical spaces of the past and present in which that knowledge is socially constructed. This emptying of history in systems of knowledge is odd for an intellectual project concerned with cultural-historical theories. To address this omission, the writing…

Alchemies and Governing
This article turns one of most cited philosopher's John Dewey's title, How We Think (1933/1998) back upon itself to consider how ‘thought’ or ‘reason’ are cultural practices that historically order and generate principles for reflection and action. The discussion proceeds thusly: (1) Schooling is about changing people; (2) Changing people embodies cultural theses about modes of living, such as that of being a lifelong learner or a Learning Societ…
How the Alchemy Makes Inquiry, Evidence, and Exclusion
An odd thing happens on the way to school. As the sorcerer of the middle ages sought to turn lead into gold, modern teaching and teacher ed-ucation produce a magical transformation in the disciplines of the sciences, social sciences, and humanities. School subjects transmogrify the disciplines into social and psychological con-cepts about, for example, developing children’s intuitive understandings, meeting academic standards, or forming the disp…

Introduction
Nostalgia, the Future, and the Past as Pedagogical Technologies
This article provides a genealogical perspective on narratives about the past and the future as governmental discourses in teacher education, public health, and criminal justice in Sweden. Contemporary governmental strategies bring nostalgic memories of the past and visions and fears about the future back to life in the present. The past (history) is a technology of the present to re-memorialize who “we” are and have been. The future is a spatial…
Educational Research
Educational research involves social values. It contains lines of reasoning established through discourse within a scientific community and within larger historical and cultural structures. The values affirmed in research have possible political functions. Theories and methods not only describe, but also give direction to the way that social events are to be challenged. The dispositional character of research is often ignored in discussions of so…

Educational Reform and the Problem of Institutional Life
technologies used in institutional contexts. The actual impact of these reform techniques upon schools is directly related to the deeply held assumptions and patterns of behavior which underlie life in school. The second section explores the concept of institution and effect that this has on the learning that takes place within the school. This discussion looks closely at three specific characteristics of the school as institution and how these w…

A Comparative Perspective on American Teacher Education
Popkewitz considers some of the cul tural assumptions and political implica tions of teacher education. He also describes the relationship of reform to social and economic transformation, the logic of individualism, and the formation of professional ideologies. Further, he shows how these various dimensions give coherence and direction to contem porary educational practice. The author argues that professional schooling edu cates the individual to…
What's in a Research Project
Social influences on the formation of research agendas comprise one of the central problems of control and power in contemporary societies. The contemporary world is one in which the exercise of control is provided not by brute force but by the defining patterns of communication by which a society gives direction and organization to its social affairs. The production of knowledge has implications for how we conceive, organize, and challenge our o…

Professionalization in teaching and teacher education
La professionnalité dans l'enseignement et la formation des enseignants
The more recent calls for school reform have focused on a re-visioning of the work of teachings and teacher education. A central rhetoric in the current climate is related to the professional ization of teaching. We can view the public discourses as not simply a formal mechanism for describing events but as part of their context serving to align loyalty and social solidarity with particular values and social interests. My intent in this discussio…

Foucault's Challenge
In this volume, the editors have brought together prominent international contributors to examine the relevance of Foucauldian thought on educational theory, practice and institutional life. The result is a diverse collection that offers broad and engaging analyses of how power and knowledge are configured in the practices and norms of schooling. This text not only provides a critical examination of the significance of Foucauldian thought for edu…
Educational Sciences and the Normalization of the Teacher and Child
In the past decade, US==A reforms discourses link strategies of professionalizing teaching with pedagogical research practices. This article explores the different reform practices as the effects of power. It focuses on educational policy and research as governing through the reasoning inscribed in the knowledge generated for action and participation. Political rationalities are inscribed in pedagogy as “a culture of redemption. Pedagogy is to sa…
