This article explores how academics in a higher education institution (HEI) make sense of the challenges that they encounter in a neoliberal context typified by an increasingly globalised curriculum landscape. Two key questions are explored: What are the contours of the shifting boundaries which define the ‘global curriculum’ in HEI contexts? How do academics navigate and make sense of this fluidity in an uncertain and disputed landscape? Using reflections on practice emanating from the redesign of educational courses to respond to a rapidly changing student cohort, this inquiry takes an auto-ethnographic approach, offering the perspectives of five academic staff from a UK-based HEI through the lens of their lived experiences, and acknowledging the emerging shifts in identities that they experience and the need to confront tensions in this curriculum space. We conclude that our own scrutiny of, and critical reflections on, our identity and positionality as teachers and education practitioners represent a form of decoloniality, enabling us to find ways to share what we know without excluding knowledge outside it and to welcome contributions and possibilities beyond our own experiences. In terms of how we should act, we recognise that it must be through a dialectic that does not seek cultural supremacy or sovereignty.
本文探讨了高等教育机构(HEI)的学者如何理解他们在以日益全球化的课程环境为代表的新自由主义背景下所遇到的挑战。本文探讨了两个关键问题:在高等教育背景下,定义“全球课程”的不断变化的边界的轮廓是什么?在一个不确定和有争议的环境中,学者如何驾驭和理解这种流动性?通过对教育课程重新设计的实践反思,以应对快速变化的学生群体,本次调查采用了一种自动人种学的方法,通过他们生活经验的视角,提供了来自英国高等教育学院的五位学术人员的观点,并承认他们所经历的身份的新兴转变,以及在这个课程空间中面对紧张局势的必要性。我们的结论是,我们对自己作为教师和教育从业者的身份和地位的审视和批判性反思,代表了一种非殖民化的形式,使我们能够找到方法来分享我们所知道的,而不排除它之外的知识,并欢迎超出我们自己经验的贡献和可能性。就我们应该如何行动而言,我们认识到,必须通过一种不寻求文化霸权或主权的辩证法。

Tasks are crucial for gaining access to powerful knowledge in geography and for fostering higher-order thinking in lessons; therefore, they are key to subject-specific pedagogy. After analysing tasks in geography textbooks for upper secondary education, it was revealed that higher-order thinking barely occurs in textbooks in the Netherlands and is more frequent in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Subsequently, both curriculum contexts were systematically compared to determine factors that influence the use of tasks. The results show that evaluative rules play a crucial role. The assessment in North Rhine-Westphalia focuses on higher-order thinking and how this becomes visible in students’ work. Dutch assessment concentrates on students handling an outlined body of knowledge in defined settings. This raises questions of epistemic access, as students are less prepared for the skills expected at university level. Finally, we observed the importance of alignment between official institutions, the discipline of subject-specific pedagogy and support for teachers when it comes to fostering higher-order thinking in geography education.
任务对于获得强大的地理知识和在课堂上培养高阶思维至关重要;因此,它们是特定学科教学法的关键。分析高中地理教科书的任务后发现,荷兰的教科书中很少出现高阶思维,而德国的北莱茵-威斯特伐利亚州的教科书则更为频繁。随后,系统地比较了两种课程背景,以确定影响任务使用的因素。结果表明,评价规则起着至关重要的作用。北莱茵-威斯特伐利亚州的评估侧重于高阶思维,以及如何在学生的作业中体现出来。荷兰的评估侧重于学生在确定的环境中掌握概述的知识体系。这引发了知识获取的问题,因为学生对大学水平的技能准备不足。最后,我们观察到在培养地理教育的高阶思维方面,官方机构、特定学科教学法的学科和对教师的支持之间的一致性的重要性。

Decolonising the curriculum beyond the surge: Conceptualisation, positionality and conduct 课程的非殖民化:概念化、定位和行为

In recent years, there has been increased interest in, and work towards, decolonising the curriculum in higher education institutions in the UK. There are various initiatives to review university syllabuses and identify alternative literature. However, there is an increasing risk of turning ‘decolonisation’ into a buzz term tied to a trend. We fear that decolonisation within academia is becoming an empty term, diluted and depoliticised, allowing for superficial representations that fail to address racial, political and socio-economic intersectionalities. In this article, we examine several initiatives to decolonise the curriculum with a focus on the field of education as a discipline and medium. Based on our analysis, we engage with three main themes: conceptualisation, positionality and conduct. The article concludes that decolonisation cannot happen in a vacuum, or as an aim disconnected from the rest of the structure of the university, which leads to diluting a wider movement and turns into a box-ticking exercise. We argue that there needs to be a deconstruction of asymmetrical power relationships within academic spaces to allow for meaningful decolonisation in practice. This requires a real political will, a change in the structure, and in the hearts and minds of those in decision-making positions, and a shift in the practices of knowledge production.
近年来,人们对英国高等教育机构课程的非殖民化越来越感兴趣,也越来越努力。有各种各样的举措来审查大学的教学大纲和确定替代文学。然而,将“去殖民化”变成与一种趋势相关的流行语的风险越来越大。我们担心,学术界的非殖民化正在成为一个空洞的术语,被淡化和去政治化,允许肤浅的陈述,而不能解决种族、政治和社会经济的交叉性。在这篇文章中,我们研究了几项将课程非殖民化的举措,重点关注作为一门学科和媒介的教育领域。根据我们的分析,我们涉及三个主要主题:概念化、定位和行为。这篇文章的结论是,去殖民化不可能在真空中发生,也不可能作为一个与大学结构的其他部分脱节的目标发生,这导致了更广泛的运动被稀释,变成了一个打勾的练习。我们认为,需要在学术空间内解构不对称的权力关系,以便在实践中实现有意义的非殖民化。这需要真正的政治意愿,需要改变结构,需要改变决策人员的思想和思想,需要改变知识生产的做法。

Decolonize this art history: Imagining a decolonial art history programme at Kalamazoo College 将这段艺术史去殖民化:想象卡拉马祖学院的非殖民化艺术史课程

This article presents a case study of a decolonized curriculum development in the Art History programme at the small liberal arts institution Kalamazoo College (Michigan, USA). It discusses the curriculum plan, methods for learning, assessment and potential applications for this approach beyond the case study. Paying attention to questions about the origins of art history, and its long-established methods and canon within the Western academy, this article proposes that any approach to decolonizing an art history curriculum must take into account the frameworks and methods of the knowledge systems it employs, must continually assess, reflect and hold accountable those who participate in its implementation and maintenance, and, importantly, must recognize that decolonization work is a necessarily messy and ongoing process.
本文介绍了小型文科院校卡拉马祖学院(美国密歇根州)艺术史课程中非殖民化课程开发的案例研究。它讨论了课程计划、学习方法、评估以及这种方法在案例研究之外的潜在应用。关注艺术史的起源及其在西方学院中长期确立的方法和准则的问题,本文提出,任何将艺术史课程非殖民化的方法都必须考虑到它所采用的知识体系的框架和方法,必须不断评估,反思并追究参与执行和维护该决议的人的责任,重要的是,必须认识到非殖民化工作必然是一个混乱和持续的过程。

The Literacy Policy Project examines the trends in UK government policy interventions into literacy curriculum and pedagogies in schools in England. We undertake a policy scholarship methodology to read policy texts through a conceptual framework that frames policy interventions with functional, realist or socially critical purposes. We identify how successive UK governments have primarily adopted functional policies and research relating to literacy in schools in England. We argue that policy is dictated by, and serves, a growing marketplace for educational solutions, making the case that more prominence should be given to facilitating socially critical approaches to literacy policy.
扫盲政策项目研究了英国政府对英国学校扫盲课程和教学法的政策干预趋势。我们采用政策学术方法,通过一个概念框架来解读政策文本,该框架将政策干预与功能性、现实主义或社会批判目的相结合。我们了解了历届英国政府是如何主要采取与英国学校识字相关的职能政策和研究的。我们认为,政策是由不断增长的教育解决方案市场决定的,并为其服务,这表明应该更加重视促进扫盲政策的社会批判方法。

Diversity or decolonization? Searching for the tools to dismantle the ‘master’s house’ 多样性还是非殖民化?寻找拆除“主人家”的工具

Within the literature on decolonizing the curriculum, a clear distinction is frequently made between diversity and decolonization. While decolonization entails dismantling colonial forms of knowledge, including practices that racialize and categorize, diversity is a policy discourse that advocates for adding different sorts of people to reading lists and the staff and student body. As a team of staff and students, we are committed to decolonization, but we are also aware that within our discipline of political science, calls for diversity are more likely to be understood and accepted. We therefore bid for, and obtained, funding to conduct a quantitative review of our department’s reading lists in order to assess the range not only of authors, but also of topics and ideas. We found that male White authors wrote the majority of the readings, with women of colour authoring just 2.5 per cent of works on our curriculum. Our reading lists also featured disappointingly little theoretical diversity, with very little coverage of feminist, critical race or queer theory approaches, for example. We therefore used the standard methodologies and approaches of our discipline in order to point towards the silences and gaps that a decolonizing approach would seek to remedy. In this article, we explain our approach and findings. The project has been educational in the best sense and has disrupted hierarchical relationships between staff and students. It has helped us think more deeply about how data and research inform, and sometimes limit, change, as well as how the process of learning about how knowledge, including reading lists, is generated can support decolonization in itself.
在关于课程非殖民化的文献中,经常明确区分多样性和非殖民化。虽然非殖民化需要废除殖民形式的知识,包括种族化和分类的做法,但多样性是一种政策话语,主张将不同类型的人加入阅读名单以及教职员工和学生群体。作为一个由工作人员和学生组成的团队,我们致力于非殖民化,但我们也意识到,在我们的政治学学科中,对多样性的呼吁更有可能被理解和接受。因此,我们申请并获得了资金,对我们系的阅读清单进行定量审查,以便不仅评估作者的范围,还评估主题和想法的范围。我们发现,白人男性作家撰写了大部分阅读材料,而有色人种女性仅创作了我们课程中2.5%的作品。令人失望的是,我们的阅读清单上几乎没有理论多样性,例如,很少涉及女权主义、批判性种族或酷儿理论方法。因此,我们使用了我们学科的标准方法和方法,以指出非殖民化方法将寻求弥补的沉默和差距。在这篇文章中,我们将解释我们的方法和发现。该项目从最好的意义上讲是教育性的,打破了教职员工和学生之间的等级关系。它帮助我们更深入地思考数据和研究如何影响、有时限制变化,以及学习包括阅读清单在内的知识是如何产生的过程如何支持非殖民化本身。

Decolonization in a higher education STEMM institution – is ‘epistemic fragility’ a barrier? 高等教育STEMM机构的非殖民化——“认知脆弱性”是一个障碍吗?

Central to the decolonial debate is how high-income countries (HICs) have systematically negated ways of knowing from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), and yet the paucity of empirical decolonization studies leaves educators relatively unsupported as to whether, and how, to address privilege in higher education. Particularly in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM) institutions, there are few published examples of attempts to engage faculty in these debates. In 2018–19, we invited faculty on a master’s in public health course to engage with the decolonization debate by providing: (1) descriptive reading list analyses to all 16 module leads in the master’s programme to invite discussion about the geographic representation of readings; (2) an implicit association test adapted to examine bias towards or against research from LMICs; (3) faculty workshops exploring geographic bias in the curriculum; and (4) interviews to discuss decolonization of curricula and current debates. These initiatives stimulated debate and reflection around the source of readings for the master’s course, a programme with a strong STEMM focus, and the possibility of systemic barriers to the inclusion of literature from universities in LMICs. We propose the notion of epistemic fragility, invoking DiAngelo’s (2011) ‘white fragility’, because some of the responses appeared to result from the challenge to perceived meritocracy, centrality, authority, individuality and objectivity of the HIC episteme that this initiative invites. We posit that the effortful reinstatement of a status quo regarding knowledge hierarchies in the global context, although not a representative reaction, can lead to a significant impact on the initiative in general. Efforts to decolonize curricula require actions at both the individual and organizational levels and, in particular, a managed process of careful engagement so that fragility reactions, if and where they occur, are given the time and space to be navigated in the open. Based on our experiences, we offer recommendations for policy and practice for those engaged in this movement and potential research questions to explore epistemic fragility in higher education.
非殖民化辩论的核心是高收入国家(HICs)如何系统性地否定了从低收入和中等收入国家(LMICs)那里获得知识的方式,然而,缺乏经验的非殖民化研究使得教育工作者在是否以及如何解决高等教育中的特权问题上相对不受支持。特别是在科学、技术、工程、数学和医学(STEMM)机构中,很少有公开的例子试图让教师参与这些辩论。在2018-19学年,我们邀请公共卫生硕士课程的教师参与非殖民化辩论,提供:(1)对硕士课程中所有16个模块的阅读清单进行描述性分析,以邀请讨论阅读的地理代表性;(2)内隐关联检验,用于检验对中低收入国家研究的偏见;(3)教师研讨会探讨课程中的地理偏见;(4)访谈,讨论非殖民化课程和当前的辩论。这些举措引发了围绕硕士课程阅读材料来源的辩论和反思,这是一个以stem为重点的项目,以及在纳入中低收入国家大学文献方面可能存在的系统性障碍。我们提出了认知脆弱性的概念,引用了DiAngelo(2011)的“白色脆弱性”,因为一些回应似乎来自于对这一倡议所邀请的HIC认知的精英统治、中心、权威、个性和客观性的挑战。我们认为,在全球范围内努力恢复知识等级的现状,虽然不是一种具有代表性的反应,但可以对总体上的倡议产生重大影响。非殖民化课程的努力需要在个人和组织两级采取行动,特别是需要一个谨慎参与的有管理的过程,以便在发生脆弱反应时给予时间和空间,以便在公开的情况下加以处理。根据我们的经验,我们为那些参与这一运动的人提供了政策和实践建议,并提出了探索高等教育中认知脆弱性的潜在研究问题。

Particularly in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM) institutions, there are few published examples of attempts to engage faculty in these debates. In 2018–19, we invited faculty on a master’s in public health course to engage with the decolonization debate by providing: (1) descriptive reading list analyses to all 16 module leads in the master’s programme to invite discussion about the geographic representation of readings; (2) an implicit association test adapted to examine bias towards or against research from LMICs; (3) faculty workshops exploring geographic bias in the curriculum; and (4) interviews to discuss decolonization of curricula and current debates. These initiatives stimulated debate and reflection around the source of readings for the master’s course, a programme with a strong STEMM focus, and the possibility of systemic barriers to the inclusion of literature from universities in LMICs. We propose the notion of epistemic fragility, invoking DiAngelo’s (2011) ‘white fragility’, because some of the responses appeared to result from the challenge to perceived meritocracy, centrality, authority, individuality and objectivity of the HIC episteme that this initiative invites. We posit that the effortful reinstatement of a status quo regarding knowledge hierarchies in the global context, although not a representative reaction, can lead to a significant impact on the initiative in general. Efforts to decolonize curricula require actions at both the individual and organizational levels and, in particular, a managed process of careful engagement so that fragility reactions, if and where they occur, are given the time and space to be navigated in the open. Based on our experiences, we offer recommendations for policy and practice for those engaged in this movement and potential research questions to explore epistemic fragility in higher education.","PeriodicalId":45980,"journal":{"name":"London Review of Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48796689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How to best utilize curriculum time has long been a question for England’s schools, which are free to vary time between subjects or to extend the school day/week. This question has now risen to national prominence as policymakers consider ways to help support students catch up lost learning after the COVID-19 pandemic. This article explores the relationship between instruction time on General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) attainment and value-added scores for 2,815 English secondary schools using panel data from the 2010–14 School Workforce Census. Robust estimates suggest that instruction time has a small effect on attainment in each of English, mathematics, science and humanities. Based on sub-group analysis, effects sizes are also estimated for students with varying prior achievement and for those in receipt of free school meals. These too appear small, suggesting, vis-à-vis instructional time, sometimes less might be more.
如何最好地利用课程时间一直是英国学校的一个问题,英国学校可以自由地在不同科目之间改变时间或延长上课日/周。随着政策制定者考虑如何帮助学生弥补COVID-19大流行后失去的学习,这个问题现在已经成为全国关注的焦点。本文利用2010-14年学校劳动力普查的面板数据,对2,815所英国中学的GCSE(普通中等教育证书)教学时间与增值分数之间的关系进行了研究。可靠的估计表明,教学时间对英语、数学、科学和人文学科的成绩都有很小的影响。基于亚组分析,还对先前成绩不同的学生和接受免费校餐的学生估计了影响大小。这些也显得很小,这表明,就-à-vis教学时间而言,有时可能越少越好。
