Future jamming
The future is rarely problematised in education even though it is self-evident in everyday schoolwork and present also in the management of education. However, we should understand how different future visions influence our understanding of education. In this paper, we apply rhetorical analysis and study how the future of education is rhetorically constructed in Finnish policy texts. Also, we analyze the special characteristic of Finnish future v…
Managing expectations by projecting the future school
This study focuses on the politics of time in education by analysing ‘The Future School’ reports published by Nordic state authorities between 2010 and 2015. Building on a system-theoretical understanding of social time, steering and second-order observations, we investigate how temporal political communication frames the future of Nordic basic education. By applying semantic analysis, we identified four temporal topologies according to which the…
Rethinking society and knowledge in Finnish social studies textbooks
This paper discusses the relationship between knowledge and society in social studies by analysing how society is presented in four Finnish social studies textbooks currently in use in comprehensive education. Besides its empirical contribution, the paper examines the possibilities of applying Michael Young’s understanding of powerful knowledge in social studies by complementing it with two additional theoretical approaches to society. Firstly, b…
Negotiations of Science and Religion in Nordic Institutions
This article explores how two seemingly contradictory global trends-scientific rationality and religious expressiveness-intersect and are negotiated in people's lives in Nordic countries. We focus on Finland and Sweden, both countries with reputations of being highly secular and modernized welfare states. The article draws on our multi-sited ethnography in Finland and Sweden, including interviews with health practitioners, academics, and students…
Moving landscapes of Nordic basic education
Throughout history educational leaders have looked to other countries and have attempted to learn by borrowing useful examples to implement in their own educational systems. As recent comparative policy research shows, processes of policy lending and borrowing have their own socio-historically defined dynamics. In this paper, the authors approach the use of reference countries through narratives of educational experts in Finland, Norway and Swede…
Deregulation, privatisation and marketisation of Nordic comprehensive education
The Nordic countries are often perceived as a coherent group representing the Nordic model of welfare states, with a strong emphasis on the public provision of universal welfare and a strong concern with social equality. But today we see a change in the Nordic model as part of a global knowledge economy. The aim of this article is to examine education in the five Nordic countries utilising three dimensions of political change: deregulation, marke…
The Challenge of Developing Civic Activity Instruction in Finnish Teacher Education
The objective of the “Promoting Citizenship and Civic Activity in Teacher Education” project in the years 2004–2006 was to: (1) make social awareness a more prominent part of the teacher training programme, (2) evaluate and develop the culture of participation in teacher training units and (3) use training schools' procedures to develop alternative models for participation at school. Generally speaking, the project was successful. Although it did…
