- More about Critical Perspectives on PISA as a Means of Global Governance: Risks, Limitations, and Humanistic Alternatives
This book critically examines the Programme for International Students Assessment (PISA), its origins, implementation, relationship to other international assessments, and its impacts on educational policy and reform. It highlights connections between PISA and emergent issues such as the international circulation of big science, expertise, and policy and identifies its conceptual and methodological limits as a global governance project. It provides a novel framework for understanding how OECD priorities are manifested through a regulatory instrument based on Human and Knowledge Capital Theory and makes a case for new humanistic approaches to education policy and reform.

This comprehensive volume delves into a critical analysis of the Programme for International Students Assessment (PISA), exploring its origins, implementation, relationship to other international large-scale assessments, and its profound impacts on educational policy and reform at both national and international levels. Drawing upon empirical data gathered through a research project conducted by the CeiED at Lusofona University, Lisbon, the text sheds light on the intricate connections between PISA and emerging issues such as the global circulation of scientific expertise, policy, and governance. It also identifies the conceptual and methodological limitations of PISA as a global governance project.
The volume offers a novel framework for understanding how the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) priorities are manifested through a regulatory instrument rooted in Human and Knowledge Capital Theory. This insightful analysis makes a compelling case for exploring new humanistic approaches to education policy and reform.
This text is of immense value to researchers, academics, and educators with a keen interest in education policy and politics, international and comparative education, and the broader sociological study of education. Those with a passion for the history of education will also find this volume to be of great interest.
