Equality and excellence. Hegemonic discourses of economisation within the German education system     

Tobias Peter  Ulrich Bröckling 《International Studies in Sociology of Education》2017,26(3):231-247

Looking to conflicting constitutions of education systems through the terms equality and excellence, this paper examines the discursive formation of two political rationalities in the contemporary German education system. While early childhood and primary education discourses are dominated by a terminology of equality, tertiary education institutions such as universities are described using a terminology of excellence that has become a reference point for political interventions and institutional reform processes. Drawing from hegemony theory, governmentality studies and systems theory, this paper analyses the rules of justification referred to by such hegemonic discourses. It presents a policy discourse analysis of strategic, conceptional and institutional texts produced between 2003 and 2010. Through this analysis, the paper suggests that ‘mobilising’ and ‘optimising’ represent the common principles of equality and excellence as economic rationalities.  相似文献

<正>In the beginning of 2014,the Chinese Academy of Sciences took another important step towards nurturing worldclass researchers:by establishing centers of excellence and innovation(CEIs),it will remarkably increase fi nancial support and management autonomy to facilitate their innovation.According to CAS President BAI Chunli,the decision was made after a year of planning."Generally speaking,CAS still has a long way to go to build itself into a firstclass science academy.However,in some fields,our scientists are already standing at the forefront of their domains,and they are very promising to achieve innovative breakthroughs."The aim of CEIs is to select such groups and cultivate them with"fertile soil".As for the"fertile soil",fi rst of all,every CEI enjoys  相似文献   

“Supporting excellence in the arts: from measurement to judgement”     

Susannah Eckersley 《Cultural Trends》2008,17(3):183-187

The DCMS paper “Supporting excellence in the arts”, also known as the McMaster Review, raised more questions than it answered in terms of how UK cultural policy is likely to develop in the future. Although many of its intentions are laudable, the report fails to resolve the inherent problems associated with defining, measuring and judging cultural “excellence”, even though this forms the core of McMaster's argument about how policy should develop. This may have significant implications for cultural institutions in the future.

In addition, many of the report's recommendations may either be contradictory or impractical in the current policy climate – such as the desire for institutions to take more risks whilst simultaneously increasing visitor numbers and meeting other targets. As such, without a wider change in the Government's approach and a re-acknowledgement of culture's intrinsic value, “excellence” may just become the latest buzzword for practitioners, rather than the key principle upon which future decisions will be based.  相似文献

Government research evaluations and academic freedom: a UK and Australian comparison     

Ann Martin-Sardesai  Helen Irvine  Stuart Tooley  James Guthrie 《高等教育研究与发展》2017,36(2):372-385

Performance management systems have been an inevitable consequence of the development of government research evaluations (GREs) of university research, and have also inevitably affected the working life of academics. The aim of this paper is to track the development of GREs over the past 25 years, by critically evaluating their adoption in the UK and Australian higher education sector and their contribution to the commodification of academic labour, and to highlight the resultant tensions between GREs and academic freedom. The paper employs a literature-based analysis, relying on publicly available policy documents and academic studies over the period 1985–2010. GREs are a global phenomenon emanating from new public management reforms and while assessments of university research have been welcomed, they have attracted critique based on their design, the manner in which they have been applied, and the unintended consequences of their implementation on academic freedom in particular. Consistent with international research on the impact of GREs, Australian research assessments appear to be undoing the academic freedom that is central to successful research. Further empirical research on the impact of GREs on academics is urgently needed.  相似文献
