Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Globalization, Education Research, and Schooling

For a good 30 years now, there has been a discussion about globalization, which has also left its mark on the field of education. In the seminar we first distinguish between real existing phenomena, which can be understood as expressions of globalization, for instance PISA, and the theories with which globalization is interpreted, for instance the world culture thesis of neo-institutional sociology. The focus is on what consequences these theories have had on educational research, that is how research has been prevented from looking more closely at educational realities in countries around the world and understanding why it is not so much globalism that prevails today, but nationalism. The seminar will discuss both (meta-)theoretical texts and case studies from numerous countries around the world such as South America, China, Greece, Egypt, Denmark, Australia, Canada, India, Cuba, and the United States.

Assessment and permitted materials

Mid-semester: mandatory, well-prepared reflective paper (abt. 2 pages) concerning the knowledge and questions from the class so far. This will account for 20% of the points that can be earned in the course (max. 4 points).
End-of-Semester: there will be a test with 4 open questions. In each of the questions you can score 4 points, so the maximum number is 16.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Total points: 20; minimum 11 points needed to pass the course.
18-20 = 1
16-17 = 2
14-15 = 3
11-13 = 4
0 - 10 = 5

Examination topics

The exam will be based off of the texts and points made during the seminar.
