Schooling the Nation in an Age of Globalization: national curriculum, accountabilities and their effects (2010–2012)

Abstract:
Situated in education policy studies, this research aims to analyse the development of the national curriculum, national testing and related accountabilities and the usage of international comparative performance data. The research will analyse their effects at national level, but also within state systems and in schools and provide knowledge about education federalism. An evidence base will be established for ascertaining the likelihood of the Rudd education revolution achieving its goals of more equitable and higher quality student performance. The project will advance research-based knowledge, theory and methodologies for conducting education policy analysis in the context of globalization.
