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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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 governance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 453g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032185811\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44636269117690,"sku":"9781032185811","price":40.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1697193574396_book.jpg?v=1697287078","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/critical-perspectives-on-pisa-as-a-means-of-global-governance-risks-limitations-and-humanistic-alternatives-9781032185811","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
