Around the globe, various kinds of testing, including high stakes
national census testing, have become meta-policies, steering
educational systems in particular directions, and having great
effects on schools and on teacher practices, as well as upon
student learning and curricula. There has also been a complementary
global aspect to this with the OECD's PISA and IEA's TIMSS and
PIRLS, which have had impacts on national education systems and
their policy frameworks. While there has been a globalized
educational policy discourse that suggests that high stakes
standardised testing will drive up standards and enhance the
quality of a nation's human capital and thus their international
economic competitiveness, this discourse still manifests itself in
specific, vernacular, path dependent ways in different nations.
High stakes testing and its effects can also be seen as part of the
phenomenon of the 'datafication' of the world and 'policy as
numbers', linked to other reforms of the state, including new
public management, network governance, and top-down and test-based
modes of accountability. This edited collection provides
theoretically and empirically informed analyses of these
developments. This book was originally published as a special issue
of the Journal of Education Policy.
