Educational Policy Analysis

In a recent article which appeared in Educational Policy Analysis Archives 6 (7) 1998, "Educational Research in Latin America: Review and Perspectives," Abdeljalil Akkari and Soledad Pérez envisage carrying out a general analysis of the situation of educational research in Latin America, in an attempt to describe the context of its historical formation. They focus on the main theoretical framework, they identify the principal institutions involved in educational research, and consider the priorities for future research in the region.

The Impact

Concern for academic excellence and equity often structures the work of mainstream policy analysts. These matters certainly deserve careful attention, but this focus often obscures many other important concerns. In particular, analysts are often inattentive to the relation between educational policy and the creation of democratic communities. To highlight the impact of this omission, I examine mainstream debates over tracking policy. While exploring these debates, I consider how placing greater attention on Deweyan notions of democratic community might enrich policy dialogues and alter the form and focus of mainstream policy discussions.
