Abstract

This study examines implementation factors of a pioneering plurilingual policy designed to foster language development in early childhood education and care in Luxembourg. Using a mixed-method design, combining qualitative expert interviews and a quantitative survey, it offers insights from both policy- and practice-level perspectives on factors that may facilitate or hinder policy implementation. The study shows horizontal and vertical sectorial disparities among ministerial stakeholders at the policy level, and disparities between different organizational forms at the practice level. These multi-level variations highlight the complex nature of policy implementation and the factors acting as facilitators or barriers to its success. This research suggests (1) a more tailored approach to policy implementation to consider organizational diversity; (2) a more epistemological framework for policy guidelines to avoid ambiguities between policy and practice; and (3) promotion of continuous professional development and exchange groups among different practice-level sectors to facilitate policy implementation in practice.

政策实施的促进因素和障碍:关于卢森堡多语言政策的混合方法研究
本研究探讨了卢森堡一项旨在促进幼儿教育和保育中语言发展的先锋性多语言政策的实施因素。本研究采用混合方法设计,结合定性专家访谈和定量调查,从政策和实践两个层面深入分析了可能促进或阻碍政策实施的因素。研究显示,在政策层面,部级利益相关者之间存在横向和纵向部门差异,在实践层面,不同组织形式之间也存在差异。这些多层次的差异凸显了政策实施的复杂性,以及促进或阻碍政策成功实施的因素。本研究建议:(1) 采用更有针对性的方法来实施政策,以考虑到组织的多样性;(2) 为政策指导方针制定一个更具认识论意义的框架,以避免政策与实践之间的模糊不清;(3) 促进不同实践层面部门之间的持续专业发展和交流团体,以推动政策在实践中的实施。

期刊介绍: The European Educational Research Journal (EERJ) is a scientific journal interested in the changing landscape of education research across Europe. Education research increasingly crosses the borders of the national through its subjects of study, scholarly collaborations and references. The EERJ publishes education research papers and special issues which include a reflection on how the European context and other related global or regional dynamics shape their educational research topics. The European Educational Research Journal publishes double-blind peer-reviewed papers in special issues and as individual articles. The EERJ reviews submitted papers on the basis of the quality of their argument, the contemporary nature of their work, and the level of ''speaking'' to the European audience. Policy-makers, administrators and practitioners with an interest in European issues are now invited to subscribe. The EERJ publishes peer reviewed articles, essay reviews and research reports (forms of research intelligence across Europe)
