Education, Policy, and Social Change by Daniel A. Morales Gomez,Carlos Alberto Torres Pdf

The purpose of this contributed volume is to examine the links among research, policy, and change in education in Latin America in the context of the relationships between the economy, politics, and the state in the 1980s. The case analyses will discuss the challenges these societies face in education in their progression towards the twenty-first century. In its various sections, the book addresses the following questions: How did education respond during the 1980s to the major sociopolitical and economic changes that affected these countries? How did the changes in the 1980s affect the relationships between education, society, and the state, and what lessons can be learned from the interaction between research and policy that may help in understanding the developmental role of education in the 1990s? And is educational research and policy helping to improve the social condition of minorities in Latin America? This volume will be of interest to scholars and policymakers in Latin American studies, educational research, education policy, and educational planning.

Analyzing Public Policies in Latin America by Melina de Souza Rocha Lukic,Carla Tomazini Pdf

This book gathers together papers that present research on public policies in Latin America, all of which adopt a cognitive approach. This theoretical framework is based on the analysis of public policy from a cognitive and normative perspective; more specifically, through the concepts of paradigm, frame of reference and advocacy coalition. In this sense, the main questions posed here are: what paradigms have Latin American public policies followed lately? How have the paradigms responded to the economic and political changes which have occurred in the region? How have they changed over time? The book also provides a discussion of the actors and coalitions involved in Latin American public policies. While the state used to be the main protagonist of public action, a number of other actors, coalitions and institutions have emerged in recent years, replacing it in several areas. Who are they and who do they represent? How do they influence the setting of agendas in Latin American public policy? What are their strategies and their roles in the formulation and implementation of public policies? In order to answer all these questions, the papers presented in this book combine conceptual discussion and empirical analysis of several fields of public policy such as society, education, land, and indigenous and fiscal policy.

Higher Education in Latin American by Lewis Tyler,Maria Helenda De Magalhaes Castro,Hernan Courard Bull,Rollin Kent,Daniel C. Levy,Marcela Mollis,Juan Carlos Navarro,Philip G. Altbach Pdf

The purpose of this series is to bring together the main currents in today's higher education and examine such crucial issues as the changing nature of education in the U.S., the considerable adjustment demanded of institutions, administrators, the faculty; the role of Catholic education; the remarkable growth of higher education in Latin America, contemporary educational concerns in Europe, and more. Among the many specific questions examined in individual articles are: Is it true that women are subtly changing the academic profession? How is power concentrated in academic organizations? How successful are Latin America's private universities? What is the correlation between higher education and employment in Spain? Is minority graduate education in the U.S. producing the desired results?

Higher Education and the State in Latin America by Daniel C. Levy Pdf

Latin America higher education has undergone an astonishing transformation in recent years, highlighted by the private sector's growth from 3 to 34 percent of the region's total enrollment. In this provocative work Daniel Levy examines the sources, characteristics, and consequences of the development and considers the privatization of higher education within the broader context of state-society relationships. Levy shows how specific national circumstances cause variations and identifies three basic private-public patterns: one in which the private and public sectors are relatively similar and those in which one sector or the other is dominant. These patterns are analyzed in depth in case studies of Chile, Mexico, and Brazil. For each sector, Levy investigates origins and growth, and then who pays, who rules, and whose interests are served. In addition to providing a wealth of information, Levy offers incisive analyses of the nature of public and private institutions. Finally, he explores the implications of his findings for concepts such as autonomy, corporatism, and privatization. His multifaceted study is a major contribution to the literature on Latin American studies, comparative politics, and higher education.

Raising Student Learning in Latin America by Emiliana Vegas,Jenny Petrow Pdf

Understanding what and how students learn has emerged as a salient issue in Latin America, a region where the majority of children now have access to schools but few students learn the skills they need to succeed. 'Raising Student Learning in Latin America' examines recent advances in our understanding of the policies and programs that affect student learning and provides policy makers with effective options. This volume relies on indicators from national and international assessments of subject matter knowledge plus intermediate learning indicators, such as dropout and completion rates. The first part focuses on the central role of student learning in education. The second part reviews the evidence on factors and policies that affect student learning. The final part addresses policy optons on education quality assurance.

Learning to Educate by Ernesto Schiefelbein,Noel F. McGinn Pdf

In their carefully constructed and detailed account, Schiefelbein and McGinn suggest that, if Latin America is to catch up with the rest of the world, a broader view of education, and particularly teaching, is required. This book includes a close examination of learning and teaching in the classroom, the administration of schools and school districts, the management of systems of education in ministries, and the political processes that generate educational policy and law - and consensus. The authors base their arguments on what research tells us and they dismiss a great number of time-honoured 'truths' that have no basis in fact. In a jargon-free and readable style, the authors propose five major strategies for a radical improvement in the quality of teaching and learning in Latin America: greater emphasis on learning how to learn; converting teachers from producers of learning to managers of learning; fundamental improvements in teacher training; shifting the emphasis for change from the central to the local level; emphasizing learning that will lead to increased freedom for all. Although focused on Latin America, a great deal of the authors' recommendations is applicable to other regions of the world.

Education and Development in Central America and the Latin Caribbean by D. Brent Edwards Jr.,Mauro C. Moschetti,Pauline Martin,Ricardo Morales-Ulloa Pdf

Rooted in an international political economy theoretical framework, this book provides unique insights into the global forces and local responses that are shaping education systems in Central America and the Latin Caribbean (CALC). The book covers all Spanish-speaking countries of the CALC region and examines the effects of macro-economic pressures, geopolitical intervention, neo-colonial relationships, global pandemics, transnational gang networks, and the influence of international organizations. Chapters analyse the challenges and opportunities these global forces present to education systems in the region as well as highlighting the local efforts to address, mitigate, and counteract them. In doing so, the book illuminates how education can contribute to either maintaining or challenging inequalities and exclusion in the face of pressures from the global to local levels.

Routes to Reform by Ben Ross Schneider Pdf

This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read on the Oxford Academic platform and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. The key to sustained and equitable development in Latin America is high quality education for all. However, coalitions favoring quality reforms in education are usually weak because parents are dispersed, business is not interested, and much of the middle class has exited public education. In Routes to Reform, Ben Ross Schneider examines education policy throughout Latin America to show that reforms to improve learning--especially making teacher careers more meritocratic and less political--are possible. Several Andean countries and state governments in Brazil achieved notable reform since 2000, though on markedly different trajectories. Although rare, the first bottom-up route to reform was electoral. The second route was more top-down and technocratic, with little support from voters or civil society. Ultimately, by framing education policy in a much broader comparative perspective, Schneider demonstrates that contrary to much established theory, reform outcomes in Latin America depended less on institutions and broad coalitions, but rather--due to the emptiness of the education policy space--on more micro factors like civil society organizations, teacher unions, policy networks, and technocrats.
