Continuing the conversation
Throughout his journey from applied researcher to world-renowned scholar, David Berliner was committed to education research that matters—not just within academic circles, but within classrooms and communities. As a public intellectual and a fierce advocate for public education, David expertly and courageously engaged in education debates, bridged research with practice, debunked myths and exposed misinformation, and in the process, reshaped how …
Beyond Good Intentions in Special Education Policy
This article describes critical disability intersectional qualitative approaches aimed to not just analyze but also contribute and transform special education policy research. We specifically examine the shortfalls of education policies that construct race and disability as essentially separate and distinct characteristics, failing to consider students’ intersectional identities. By utilizing findings from a case study of a suburban school distri…

Reflexões (quase) antropofágicas sobre remunerações desiguais de docentes no Brasil e nos Estados Unidos da América (do Norte)
O artigo analisa a remuneração de professores no Brasil e nos Estados Unidos da América (do Norte) a partir de uma proposta de diálogo comparado não valorativo e em sintonia com perspectivas pós-coloniais. A ideia de (quase) antropofagia justifica-se na percepção que é possível um diálogo internacional a partir de um olhar dos problemas do Sul Global para a agenda de pesquisa. Utiliza fontes públicas sobre remuneração da Relação de Informações So…
Who Needs Global Citizenship Education? A Review of the Literature on Teacher Education
Given the seemingly ever-increasing scholarly production about the ideas and ideals of global citizenship education (GCE), it is not surprising those discussions started to gain influence in teacher education (TE) debates. In this study, we examine the discourses that tacitly shape the meanings of GCE within the contemporary academic literature on TE. After analyzing the peer-reviewed scholarship published from 2003 to 2018, we identified pattern…
How and Why Context Matters in the Study of Racial Disproportionality in Special Education
Racial disproportionality in special education is an ongoing injustice in schools in the United States. In this article, we investigate the key relationships among education policy, context, and racial disproportionality in special education. We examine this nexus by analyzing one U.S. school district’s response to federal citations for disproportionality in both the over-identification of students of color in special education and over-represent…
Moving Beyond the Paradigm Wars
Imagining a Post-Covid-19 Global Citizenship Education
The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented conditions in all areas of social life and as the suspension of schooling became “the new normal,” numerous experts and opinion-makers rushed to voice their recommendations to governments and educational organizations for normalizing schooling operations. In light of this worldwide crisis, we re-evaluate proposals to expand the model of Global Citizenship Education (GCE) that have received increasin…
Examining the influence of international large-scale assessments on national education policies
This paper examines whether, to what extent, and how international large-scale assessments (ILSAs) have influenced education policy-making at the national level. Based on an exploratory review of the research and policy literature on ILSAs and two surveys administered to educational policy experts, researchers, policymakers, and educators, our research found that ILSAs, with their multiple and ambiguous uses, increasingly function as solutions in…
The Freirean factor
Why bother thinking about Freire today? Who cares about the accuracy or lack of it in the translation of his books? In 2018 after 50 years of the original publication of Pedagogy of the Oppressed, there is a large industry of people profiting from translating and repeating Freire’s ideas – we are well aware that this text is another small contribution to such industry – but we firmly believe that contemporary social scientists could greatly benef…
Para além das métricas simplistas na pesquisa educativa. As lições da contínua relevância e impacto freiriano
A prática de medir o impacto da pesquisa usando métricas indiretas como o fator de impacto das revistas no campo das Ciências Sociais e, mais especificamente, no campo da educação, tem ganhado força no Brasil e no mundo. Esses processos de avaliação produzem distorções que denominamos de simplimetrificação, já que mensuram a qualidade das pesquisas sem avaliar sua relevância e apenas indiretamente usando a quantidade de artigos publicados em peri…

The pedagogical and ethical legacy of a “successful” educational reform
Iconoclash
As sociedades contemporâneas demandam a capacidade de compreender e seguir regras implícitas da cultura visual, as quais são desenvolvidas por meio de múltiplas, heterogêneas e, frequentemente, efêmeras imagens. Este fenômeno tem sido denominado “virada pictórica”. Este artigo aponta a discutir que: os efeitos da virada pictórica parecem ser mais limitados no campo da pesquisa em Educação; a ausência substancial dos fenômenos da cultura visual na…
Nostalgia, Entrepreneurship, and Redemption
Recent developments in cognitive science and linguistics provide strong evidence that understanding decision-making processes in higher education requires close attention to not only rational and consciously controlled dynamics but also those aspects that are less consciously controlled than previously assumed. When deciding to favor or reject higher education policies, people use prototypical ways of thinking, involving unconscious reaction and …
Formação de professores e pedagogias críticas
O artigo apresenta reflexões sobre a pedagogia crítica como narrativa redentora nos cursos de formação de professores. Quando se usa a pedagogia crítica adotando essas narrativas, as escolas são apresentadas de maneira dualista, ou seja, como vítima e, ao mesmo tempo, causadora de muitos problemas educacionais e sociais. A ironia é que, além disso, a escola e os professores aparecem nessa narrativa como os melhores recursos da esperança pedagógic…

Introduction - From Denouncing Gender Inequities to Undoing Gender in Education
Open access and scholarly publishing in Latin America
Throughout this article we argue that many scholars and scientific systems in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) share the ethical and epistemological motivations about the importance of increasing the "public presence" of academic research and lay out that many scholars and that many scholars and scientific systems in LAC are well positioned to take advantage of the increasing information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure and …

Persistence and ruptures
This article argues that in order to understand the feminization of the teaching profession in Argentina, it is essential to examine two key dynamics: (1) the historical and institutional life of teacher education programs and the social representations about what teachers ought to be advanced by those programs; and (2) the symbolic, economic and social relationships established between a feminized teaching workforce and the development and maint…
Rethinking Critical Pedagogy and the Gramscian and Freirean Legacies
Critical pedagogy problematizes the relationship between education and politics, between sociopolitical relations and pedagogical practices, between the reproduction of dependent hierarchies of power and privilege in the domain of everyday social life and that of classrooms and institutions. In doing so, it advances an agenda for educational transformation by encouraging educators to understand the sociopolitical contexts of educative acts and th…

Children's Work, Schooling, and Welfare in Latin America
From the 1980s through the 1990s, children in many areas of the world benefited from new opportunities to attend school, but they also faced new demands to support their families because of continuing and, for many, worsening poverty. Children's Work, Schooling, And Welfare In Latin America is a comparative study of children, ages 12-17, in three different Latin American societies. Using nationally-representative household surveys from Chile, Per…
