Stolz, Steven A.; Kirk, David – Asia-Pacific Journal of Health, Sport and Physical Education, 2015
Forming the first of two articles, this dialogue begins from the dilemma posed in the writings of David Kirk that physical education is in crisis because the dominant practice of physical education as "sport-techniques" is resistant to change.

Kosunen, Sonja; Hansen, Petteri – European Educational Research Journal, 2018
In recent years Finnish comprehensive education has often been discussed in both, academic and public forums, in terms of its relatively high learning outcomes and perceived efficiency.

The leadership discourse is here…

Wilkins, Andrew; Burke, Penny Jane – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2015
Since the neoliberal reforms to British education in the 1980s, education debates have been saturated with claims to the efficacy of the market as a mechanism for improving the content and delivery of state education. In recent decades with the expansion and "massification" of higher education, widening participation (WP) has acquired an…

Triangulating…
