Neoliberalism in education: Five images of critical analyses
Journal Title: Pedagogicka Orientace - Year 2011, Vol 21, Issue 1
Abstract
The survey study brings information about the way that educational research copes with neoliberalism as a generalized form of social government in the current western culture. It shows that neoliberalism is considered as a universal scope of other changes in the basic segments of education and those theoretical and critical analyses of this phenomenon represent an important part of production in the area of educational research. It emphasizes the contribution of formation and development of the socalled governmental studies for comprehension of mechanisms and consequences of neoliberal government of the society and shows how way the methodology of these studies helps to identify neoliberal strategies used in the regulation of social subjects by education. There are five selected segments of critical analyses elaborated (from the concept of a lifelong learning, through preschool and university education to the education of teachers and PISA project) that obviously show ideological and theoretical cohesiveness of the education analysis through the scope of neoliberal governmentality.
