Open Door Events
The aim of this paper is to explore the role of open-door events as key institutional devices to position schools in local education markets. The paper draws on data from a qualitative study based on observations in 25 open-door events in secondary schools in the city of Barcelona. The findings show, on the one hand, how promotional actions are mediated by a school’s position in the local hierarchy and by objectively unequal features in terms of …
Educational Transitions and Social Justice
Educational transitions play a critical role in the (re)production of social inequalities. Transitions to upper secondary education are particularly significant as in most European countries this is when students are separated into different tracks – academic and vocational – and the first time they face a ‘real choice’ over their educational trajectory. Using a qualitative-driven approach that includes multiple research techniques (documentary a…

The silent expansion of internationalisation
The growth of the International Baccalaureate (IB) worldwide is part of a global trend towards the internationalisation of education (IE). Its implementation, nonetheless, takes different forms depending on national and local contexts. This paper examines the recent expansion of the IB in Madrid, drawing upon the sociology of education policy enactments and recontextualisations and the Cultural Political Economy approach. Combining in-depth inter…
Ability as legitimation of tracking
The division of educational systems into different tracks—academic and vocational—represents one of the key elements in explaining social stratification and inequalities. Previous research identifies teachers' expectations as a critical factor to understand the relationship between tracking and social inequality. This paper discusses how ability is represented in teachers' discourses and whether and to what extent it works as a legitimation of sy…

Capacidades, hábitos y carácter
La división de los sistemas educativos en itinerarios diferenciados -académico y profesional- es uno de los elementos centrales para explicar las pautas de estratificación y desigualdad social en el ámbito internacional. Entre los múltiples factores que dan cuenta de la relación entre itinerarios educativos y desigualdad social, la literatura especializada ha señalado el rol que desempeñan las expectativas docentes como factor crucial para entend…
Institutional habitus in context
This article aims to revisit the relationship between school-level variables and students’ educational opportunities through the lens of institutional habitus. This approach is particularly well suited to explore the notion of school culture because it brings to the forefront the impact of social context, avoiding some of the limitations typically associated with the long-dominant perspective of school effectiveness research. Drawing on an ethnog…
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 …

En el campo de la educación, la NGP ha cristalizado en políticas como la autonomía de centro, la profesionalización de las direcciones escolares, la evaluación estandarizada y los sistemas de rendición de cuentas de los docentes. En este artículo se analiza cómo y por qué la NGP ha sido adopta…
