Este número especial presenta nueve trabajos orientados a contestar dos preguntas: ¿Quiénes se benefician y quiénes son castigados por los enredos coloniales de la producción de conocimiento en educación comparada? ¿Cómo pueden las/los profesionales e investigadoras/es de este campo generar prácticas de investigación (trans)locales, multilingües más sostenibles que actúen como desobediencias epistémicas contra el colonialismo? Los artículos de este número especial desafían las preocupaciones de muchas/os investigadoras/es, docentes, y formuladores de políticas con exámenes de rendimiento de estudiantes, tablas competitivas de escolaridad, y "buena prácticas pedagógicas” invitando a las/los investigadoras/es del...

Urges that the much neglected visual aspects of culture become a focus for educational research

Thus, in this fast-paced, imperfect decision-making environment, implicit, unconscious biases can influence their decisions. To become better decision-makers, education leaders must learn to identify their implicit biases and then minimize their negative influences. In this study of 1,751 U.S. participants, we examine perceptions of teaching ability based solely on a person’s appearance and how this initial perception of teaching ability relates to the person’s attractiveness rating, as well as race, age, gender, and some identifiable markers of religious devotion. Using linear regression and ANCOVA to analyze participant ratings of photographs of potential teachers, we found attractiveness to have a moderate to strong influence on perceived teaching ability. By group, there were only small differen...

Researchers working within an intersectional framework try to account for the dynamic and complex ways that race/ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, religion, citizenship, ability, and age shape individual identities and social life. We argue it is essential to overcome simplistic, static, one-dimensional, and additive approaches to education research by expanding the use of analytical categories and engaging the multiplicities of people's circumstances within and across teaching and learning settings. This volume is our attempt to open a space for analysis, dialogue, and reflection among scholars about intersectionality, and the possibilities of reimagining the research tools used to address the complex demographic, social, economic, and cultural transformations shaping education. Ideally, this conversation will reach audiences outside of the academy. Drawing from a long tradition of Black feminist theorizing and activism, Kimberlé Crenshaw (1989, 1991) is credited with proposing the term intersectionality as an academic concept. Intersectionality was also nurtured by the theorizing of women of color regarding race, gender, sexuality, and other forms of inequality that occurred as early as the 1960s (

Nossa revisão da literatura confirma que as ILSAs, com seus usos múltiplos e ambíguos, funcionam cada vez mais como soluções idióticas em busca do problema certo – ou seja, elas parecem ser usadas como ferramentas para legitimar reformas educacionais. Com “idióticas” não estamos nos referindo ao uso comum da palavra, que denota alguém que não é muito inteligente, mas ao significado original da palavra em grego antigo, ou seja, particular em oposição a perspectivas cívicas ou públicas. Os resultados de nossa enquete mostraram uma percepção crescente entre pesquisadores, criadores de políticas públicas e educadores,...

Based on an exploratory review of the research and policy literature on ILSAs and two surveys administered to educational policy experts, researchers, policymakers, and educators, our research found that ILSAs, with their multiple and ambiguous uses, increasingly function as solutions in search for the right problemthat is, they appear to be used as tools to legitimize educational reforms. The survey results pointed to a growing perception among stakeholders that ILSAs are having an effect on national educational policies, with 38% of respondents stating that ILSAs were generally misused in national policy contexts. However, while the ILSA literature indicates that these assessments are having some influence, there is little evidence that any positive or negative causal relationship exists between ILSA participation and the implementation of education reforms. Perhaps the most significant change associated with the use of ILSAs in the literature reviewed is the way in which new conditions for educational comparison have been made possible at the national, regional, and global levels.

To understand how the public dimensions of faculty work are valued, we analyzed review, promotion, and tenure documents from a representative sample of 129 universities in the US and Canada. Terms and concepts related to public and community are mentioned in a large portion of documents, but mostly in ways that relate to service, which is an undervalued aspect of academic careers. Moreover, the documents make significant mention of traditional research outputs and citation-based metrics: however, such outputs and metrics reward faculty work targeted to academics, and often disregard the public dimensions. Institutions that seek to embody their public mission could therefore work towards changing how faculty work is assessed and incentivized.

After describing the challenges and shortcomings of the current models of research assessment in education, we outline an alternative proposal in which trustworthiness and usability of research would complement traditional metrics of scholarly relevance. This proposal encourages a twofold approach to research assessment that involves (1) a more thorough analysis of the limitations and problems generated by the use of simplistic notions of scholarly impact, and (2) a commitment to the implementation of more equitable systems based on a broader range of assessment measures to assess faculty research contributions.

Este fenômeno tem sido denominado "virada pictórica". Este artigo aponta a discutir que: os efeitos da virada pictórica parecem ser mais limitados no campo da pesquisa em Educação; a ausência substancial dos fenômenos da cultura visual na pesquisa pedagógica, bem como a subutilização das ferramentas das metodologias da pesquisa visual, não se sustentam em barreiras epistemológicas. Propõe-se a pesquisar os fenômenos educativos a partir da perspectiva do iconoclash, analisando imagens sobre Ação Afirmativa publicadas na revista Veja durante o período 1995-2010. A investigação reconhece a constante presença da tensão no par imagem/significado

The principle objectives of the project were: a) to explore t he dynamics of gender in teacher-training institutes; b) to investigate the pedagogical imag es and the imagination of future teachers; and c) to explore what senses the future teacher s give to the concepts of vocation of authority.
