Quest for Revolution in Australian Schooling Policy
«
"This book provides a carefully crafted and written account of recent changes in Australian education, and puts forward a compelling argument about how policies are now developed in Australia. It challenges the rationalist assumptions regarding the power of nationally aligned data, evidence and standards to steer reform, and contends that genuine reform cannot be achieved by policy edicts alone, no matter how comprehensive and coordinated" -Fazal Rizvi, Emeritus Professor, The University of Melbourne.
"The Quest for Revolution in Australian Schooling Policy is necessary reading for all public policy scholars, especially those focused on education policy. The book proffers a critique of technical rationality, specifically ‘alignment thinking’, outlines an innovative assemblage approach to policy analysis, and provides a granular history of post-2007 education policy in Australia" -Bob Lingard, Emeritus Professor, The University of Queensland, and Professorial Fellow, Institute for Learning Sciences and Teacher Education, Australian Catholic University
