Abstract

The continuous improvement (CI) approach to systems change has rapidly spread across education policy circles in recent years and has been hailed as a promising means to achieve educational equity and social justice. CI’s highly routinized, scientific process for improving efficiency and productivity is a somewhat unexpected means to pursue equity. To understand this puzzle, I examine the use of CI to promote equity through two qualitative, multilevel case studies. I draw on institutional theory to understand how CI has integrated logics of racial equity and performance, and how local actors have improvised novel approaches. This analysis illuminates the complex institutional dynamics at play with CI implementation and identifies the challenges and promise of using CI to promote educational equity.

“教与学的业务”:通过持续改进使教育组织的公平制度化
近年来,持续改进(CI)方法在教育政策界迅速传播,被誉为实现教育公平和社会正义的一种有前途的手段。CI用于提高效率和生产力的高度程式化、科学化的流程是追求公平的一种有些出人意料的手段。为了理解这个难题,我通过两个定性的、多层次的案例研究来检验CI在促进公平方面的应用。我利用制度理论来理解CI如何整合种族平等和表演的逻辑,以及当地演员如何即兴创作新的方法。这一分析阐明了在CI实施中发挥作用的复杂制度动态,并确定了使用CI促进教育公平的挑战和前景。
