Dietmar Frommberger; Christoph Porcher – Journal of Vocational Education and Training, 2025
In comparative VET research, a model developed from the perspective of comparative politics, the so-called 'skill formation systems typology' developed by Busemeyer and Trampusch, dominates the discourse. However, models to compare VET systems often rely on a narrow set of assumptions and fail to account for their complexity. We therefore review…

Susan Smith; Neil Sutherland; David Allen – Teaching in Higher Education, 2024
Higher education systems exhibit varying degrees of heterogeneity in approaches to undergraduate degree classification -- specifically for this Point of Departure: the wide variety of 'Degree Classification Algorithms' (DCAs) used to calculate students' final awards. To date, the impact of DCA variation remains an under-researched 'black box', and…

O'Connor, Una; Courtney, Caroline; Mulhall, Peter; Taggart, Laurence – European Journal of Special Needs Education, 2023
Administrative data sets can play a key role in informing and influencing education provision. To date, longitudinal analysis of special educational needs (SEN) in Northern Ireland (NI) has not been a visible feature of policy discourse, even though the number of these pupils has increased at a rate that is proportionally higher than the general…

Ellefsen, Live Weider – Action, Criticism, and Theory for Music Education, 2022
In this article, I explore the theoretical and analytical potential of the concept of genring, which here refers to productive acts of temporary interpretation and signification, wherein existing classification systems and genre categories in the social are operationalized and (re)negotiated. Foucault and Butler's theories of discursive subjection…

Mesiti, Carmel; Artigue, Michèle; Grau, Valeska; Novotná, Jarmila – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2022
A significant distinguishing characteristic of the International Classroom Lexicon Project was the documentation of classroom pedagogical practices of mathematics teachers in the original languages of ten communities. These lexicons provide us with an opportunity to compare identified teacher practices within these communities. In this paper, we…

Demetriou, Kyriakos – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2022
This paper explores the debatable usefulness of the categorisation of Special Educational Needs considering evidence from the literature. Classification systems of SEN are discussed through a brief historical review. In addition, the language of special education and the potential consequences of such a classification and labels are explored.…

Kimathi, Eric; Nilsen, Ann Christin Eklund – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2023
Early intervention and integration are highly valued ideals in kindergartens in Norway. Building on two research projects informed by institutional ethnography, the authors address how kindergarten teachers 'do' early intervention and integration in their everyday work. They argue that this work largely revolves around managing categories, whether…

Winzler, Tim – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2021
In this article I explore a disposition towards a critique of 'reductionism' and 'determinism' that seems to me to be very much prevalent within British sociology. I take a qualitative educational sociology that uses Bourdieusian concepts as one body of research where this disposition is expressed with particular fervour. A close examination of…

Sara Ricci; Simon Parker; Jan Jerabek; Yianna Danidou; Argyro Chatzopoulou; Remi Badonnel; Imre Lendak; Vladimir Janout – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2024
Demand for cybersecurity professionals from industry and institutions is high, driven by an increasing digitization of society and the growing range of potential targets for cyber attacks. However, despite this pressing need a significant shortfall in the number of cybersecurity experts remains and a discrepancy has emerged between the skills…

Lara Rodrigues; Alejandra Meneses; Maximiliano Montenegro; Cristián Cortés – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2025
Astronomy has great potential to attract children toward science and improve their scientific literacy. However, it has a relatively small presence within the school curricula worldwide. In Chile, home of the world's largest telescopes, astronomy is even more relevant in science education, but the presence of astronomical content within the…

Landolt, Patricia; Goldring, Luin; Pritchard, Paul – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
We examine how the politics of knowledge production limit research on the relationship between immigration status and social inequality. We centre the practices of methodological nationalism in Canada, a traditional country of permanent immigration in which temporary migration has become a core feature of the immigration system. In this case,…

Nilsen, Ann Christin Eklund; Skarpenes, Ove – Policy Futures in Education, 2022
Histories of statistics and quantification have demonstrated that systems of statistical knowledge participate in the construction of the objects that are measured. However, the pace, purpose, and scope of quantification in state bureaucracy have expanded greatly over the past decades, fuelled by (neoliberal) societal trends that have given the…

Markowitsch, Jörg; Wittig, Wolfgang – Journal of Vocational Education and Training, 2022
Comparative studies on 'apprenticeships' in Europe increasingly cover a variety of programmes previously not considered under this heading. The paper explores the potential of a new, combined cultural-historical and functional classification of apprenticeships on the basis of their underpinning training logic. Four main logics are discussed which…

Olivier Le Guen; Rossy Kinil Canche; Merli Collí Hau; Geli Collí Collí – Sign Language Studies, 2023
This article analyzes the construction of sign names in an emerging sign language from Mexico, the Yucatec Maya Sign Language (YMSL). Data comes from elicited interviews as well as natural interactions collected by the authors and signers from two different villages, Chicán and Nohkop. Despite YMSL being an isolate language, sign name construction…

Brown, Kara D.; Shah, Payal P.; Stevick, E. Doyle – Current Issues in Comparative Education, 2020
Scholars and students of comparative education routinely, and often reflexively, categorize places with labels that have complex and problematic histories, connotations and associations. Both comparative education classrooms and scholarship will benefit from reflecting on the dynamics of labeling places. We seek to provide a framework for…
