[GOETE-Newsletter] GOETE Newsletter 2-2011

[GOETE Coordination Team]

Dear reader,

We are glad to present you the third newsletter of the GOETE research
project. GOETE aims at analysing how educational trajectories of young
people are regulated as a result of complex interactions in different
European education systems. The study “Governance of educational
trajectories in Europe” (GOETE) investigates how access of children and
young people to different stages of education is enabled or restricted,
how coping with educational demands is being facilitated through formal
and informal support and how it is being negotiated between different
actors what kind of education actually is relevant for society at large
as well as subjectively for the learners.

This GOETE newsletter brings an update on the progress in our research,
and articulates some reflections on European and national policy
discussions.

With best regards from the

GOETE coordination team

_______________________________________________________________________

The GOETE Consortium Meeting was held in Turku, Finland, from June 29th
to July 02nd 2010. Prof. Dr. Risto Rinne, head of the Finnish team,
welcomed as many as 40 representatives from all partner teams who
attended the meeting to discuss research related issues such as
comparative analysis and dissemination strategies of the GOETE project.
Turku was a particularly convenient place to meet, since the city hosts
the European Capital of Culture 2011.

(2) Reflection: Recent Trends in Finnish Education
_______________________________________________________________________

Finnish education policy, educational legislation and the entire
education system have changed significantly during the last two decades
as part of a general restructuring of public administration due to
economic, regional and demographic constraints. Risto Rinne & Jenni
Tikkanen provide a timely overview of recent trends.

(3) National Education Policy in Focus: Teacher Training in the Netherlands
_______________________________________________________________________

Education policies in the Netherlands are very much in the focus of
politics, the scientific community and the general public alike. Manuela
du Bois-Reymond confronts findings from interviews with teacher trainers
with an analysis of recent developments in teacher training and how they
relate to contemporary issues in the debate.

(4) Reflection: International Education Policy: Teacher Training Reform
_______________________________________________________________________

Teacher education traditionally falls under the responsibility of
national or regional educational governance and legislation. There are
no centralized political requirements, guidelines, or competences on a
law giving sense at the European or global level. Nonetheless, Colin
Cramer and Marcelo Parreira do Amaral argue that currently one can
observe international trends in reforming teacher education globally and
within Europe across the different national teacher education systems.

(5) Working Group meeting in Frankfurt am Main, April 2011
_______________________________________________________________________ 

In April, GOETE started a new sub-study that aims at analysing
Educational governance with a view to understanding governing
discourses, policies and practices and how they shape and regulate
educational trajectories, especially at each transition point. This
sub-study seeks to answer questions such as: What decisions are made and
practices initiated by whom, at what levels, with what consequences?
What are the roles of actors at national level (government, national
school administration, professional organisations, employers’
associations, policy consultants) in relation to local actors (schools,
local economy, policy makers, administrators, social and youth
services)?
