Exhibiting the Past: Public Histories of Education
With respect to public issues, history matters. With the worldwide interest for historical issues related with gender, religion, race, nation, and identity, public history is becoming the strongest branch of academic history. This volume brings together the contributions from historians of education about their engagement with public history, ranging from musealisation and alternative ways of exhibiting to new ways of storytelling.
From savages to capitalists: Progressive images of education in the UK and the USA (1920–1939)
One strand of historical research in education that sails on the waves of the visual turn in history concerns the progressive image of education. A major reference point is an article written in 2007 by Burke and Grosvenor, who, on the basis of the photographic archives of two progressive schools in England, constructed a visual typology of progressive education. After a content analysis of 944 images published in the educational journal The New …

Choice and competition in education: Do they advance performance, voice and equality
Based on a multilevel analysis of the OECD PISA 2012 data on school test results for 60 countries, we have established that three presuppositions underlying the policy recommendation to introduce more choice and competition in education are untenable. First, rather than choice and competition, we find that parental voice and targets and performance measurement incentivize schools to improve students’ test results. Second, we do not find that choi…
Education and the children's colonies in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939): The Images of the Community Ideal
At the beginning of the Spanish Civil War the republican authorities started organising what came to be known as "children's colonies". These children's colonies became both home and school for all the children who were evacuated from Madrid. The purpose of this article is to study in depth the transformation of many of these children's colonies into educational communities. The teachers accompanying the children often shared the republican ideal…
From Holland to Hamburg: The experimental and community schools of Hamburg seen through the eyes of Dutch observers (1919–1933)
In the period 1919–1933 the experimental and community schools in Hamburg tried to put into practice a new model of schooling without a set curriculum that was based on providing a considerable amount of freedom for pupils and teachers. These experiences were introduced in the Netherlands by way of magazines published by the New Education Fellowship (NEF) or Dutch journals edited by educationalists and university professors. The Hamburg schools w…
The people, the poor, and the oppressed: The Concept of Popular Education Through Time
Popular education is a concept with many meanings. At the beginning of the nineteenth century - with the rise of national systems of education - it was related to the idea 'education for all'. In the twentieth century it became related to education for underprivileged groups like the poor, and in the course of the twentieth century popular education had to do with education of the oppressed. This introductory article focuses on these several mean…
The Reinvention of the New Education Movement in the Franco Dictatorship (Spain, 1936-1976)
During the Second Spanish Republic (1931-1939) the Government identified many of its educational goals with those of the international movement of the New School. While not subscribing to any particular trends, the legal documents are filled with appeals to activism, vitality, work school and collaboration. Many teachers identified with and enthusiastically supported these ideas. However, other educators, those generally belonging to Catholic Ass…

Then it focusses upon some specific migration flows in the Netherlands in the twentieth century. A distinction is made between three migration parameters: colonies, labour force, and asylum. The second part of this article discusses the policy initiatives taken to educate the different migrant groups and their offspring. A distinc…
The Rebirth of the ‘Spanish Race’: The State, Nationalism, and Education in Spain, 1875–1931
In 1898, the loss of the last Spanish colonies of Cuba and the Philippines after the war with the United States aroused a strong national consciousness in which pessimism and hope were mixed. At that moment, many Spanish intellectuals were united not only by the idea that Spain had become a decadent country, but also by the notion that there could be a genuine renaissance if only it was based on the creation of a new Spanish ‘race’. In his famous…
