Full textToday’s high school students will face a host of economic problems such as the demise of the social safety net, mounting college student debt, and costly health care plans, as stated in the rationale for financial literacy provided by the Council for Economic Education’s National Standards for Financial Literacy. These problems are compounded by growing income and wealth inequality and the widespread influence of neoliberal ideology. Although one of the major goals of economics education is to teach students to make reasoned economic choices in their public and private lives and provide the skills to solve personal and social economic problems, little empirical research has been conducted on how these goals are addressed. Secondary economics education research has primarily focused on measuring students’ grasp of neoclassical economics while a separate body of literature provides theoretical critiques of that approach. This study responds to the gap presented by these separate camps by capturing the economics discourse of a high school economics and personal finance course in relation to the role of economic decision-making in a democracy, and the space to hold values discussions. Using case study methodology that included analysis of student and teacher interviews, classroom observations, the standards and official curriculum, lesson plans, and student-produced documents, the study provides deep, context-dependent knowledge about how the official curriculum is manifest in the classroom.
Findings reveal that the role of economic decision-making and values discussions were given very little space. The discourse was heavily focused on the acceptance of the science and mastery of technical knowledge about personal finance for the dual purposes of preparing students to succeed on the W!SE Financial Literacy Certification Test and preparing students to navigate and succeed in a fixed economic reality firmly committed to neoclassical economics. The role of economic decision-making was diminished by the foregrounding of financial literacy over economics, which served as a mechanism of power to send the silent message that economic circumstances (such as wealth inequality) change through individual choices and that economic and social phenomena can be understood and addressed through the application of technical approaches.

Full textThis paper examines the discrepancies in the finance of public education across the United States in order to determine how particular funding schemes affect the quality and efficiency of education. Local governments have been the principal provider of funds for education in the past, but debate over equitable schooling for all students has led to several changes in the structure of education finance. In order to construct an encompassing measure of educational quality, a model based on Morgan and Morgan (2006) is used to assign each state a quality rating. Regression analysis helps establish the effect of various monetary variables on educational quality. There are clear patterns in the data which suggest that both the total amount of funds provided and the proportion of funds provided by each level of the government influence the quality of education. In addition, personal income and the percent of the population living below the poverty line prove to be key determinants of educational quality. It is my hope that this paper contributes to the work on the finance of public education and the work that aims to improve the quality of education in the United States

Full textEducational public private partnerships (PPP), referring to the shared delivery of education services by the government and private providers, have been increasing in recent decades, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Yet to date, there has been limited research on their role in the education landscape, in part due to the difficulty of classifying PPP schools in large-scale datasets, which typically classify schools as either public or private. In addition, few studies have assessed PPPs and school quality assurance indicators typically associated with them. The study had two purposes. First, to explore the possibility of classifying PPP schools in a large-scale dataset using a statistical method. And second, to use these classifications to examine the differences between PPP, public, and private schools on school quality assurance measures, including but not limited to achievement. These analyses were performed using data from the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), with schools from six of the global emerging economy countries: Brazil, China, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia and Turkey. Schools were classified using a two-step clustering method using funding and management variables. This revealed three good-quality clusters with a silhouette measure of cohesion and separation of 0.6 (IBM, 2015b; Wendler & Gröttrup, 2016). These were classified as public, private, and PPP based on the characteristics of each school type. With these classifications, the study assessed the relationship between school type and achievement in mathematics, science and reading, and 24 school quality assurance measures from PISA. The analyses controlled for school resources and socio-economic and cultural status. The study found that overall, PPP schools performed better than public schools on three indicators, and better than private schools on five indicators; public schools performed better than PPP schools on one outcome and better than private schools on three outcomes, although with mostly small effect sizes. Private schools did not outperform other school types on any outcome. A country wise analysis showed that these results differed by country. The study highlights the possibility of using two-step clustering to identify PPP schools, the effects of shared funding and management on school performance, and the importance of context in examining countries’ education policies

"Vilka faktorer påverkar konkurrensförhållandet mellan en kommunal och en fristående gymnasieskola : en jämförelse av gymnasieskolornas ekonomistyrning och verksamhetsstyrning." Thesis, Högskolan Kristianstad, Sektionen för Hälsa och Samhälle, 2011. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hkr:diva-8227.
Full textNär de fristående gymnasieskolorna 1992 startades innebar det en förändring i konkurrensförhållandet med de kommunala gymnasieskolorna. Ett minskat elevantal i några år framöver samt att de fristående gymnasieskolorna blir fler kommer leda till en hårdare konkurrens mellan gymnasieskolorna. Syftet med uppsatsen är att granska och jämföra ekonomi- och verksamhetsstyrning mellan en kommunal och en fristående gymnasieskola. Uppsatsen riktar sig mot det numera rådande konkurrensförhållandet mellan kommunala och fristående gymnasieskolor. Teorin som ligger till grund för uppsatsen är Porters modell - branschkonkurrensens drivkrafter. Modellen appliceras på den kommunala gymnasieskolan och används för att urskilja konkurrensfaktorer som påverkar gymnasieskolorna. Uppsatsen bygger på en kvalitativ ansats med fem intervjutillfällen på två gymnasieskolor, en fristående och en kommunal belägna i samma kommun. Jämförelsen av ekonomi- och verksamhetsstyrningen på gymnasieskolorna tyder på att skillnaderna inte är så stora som vi föreställt oss, men att det ändå förekommer skillnader. Resultaten visar att Porters modell inte är tillräcklig för att beskriva de konkurrensfaktorer som påverkar gymnasieskolorna. Resultaten av de faktorer som utöver Porters originalmodell påverkar konkurrensförhållandet presenteras i en egen modell och inkluderar faktorer som kommunala gymnasieskolor, fritt sök, marknadsföring/lockbete, programutbud, omval, rykte, intern konkurrens, fristående gymnasieskolor, geografiskt läge, lärare, kvalitet, grupptryck, elevantal och studenter. Slutsatsen är därför att då Porters modell inte är heltäckande går den inte att applicera på Väggaskolan och John Bauer som en konkurrensmodell. De faktorer som vi framarbetat kan ligga till grund för gymnasieskolornas arbete för att bemöta konkurrensen på bästa sätt.

Full textNos últimos anos, o Reino Unido foi considerado, pelos estudantes chineses, um dos locais mais desejados para prosseguir com a sua educação superior. Todavia a sua posição dominante está a ser ameaçada. As experiências dos estudantes chineses que estudam no Reino Unido não são suficientemente investigadas, mas é mais do que necessário este tipo de investigação. Este estudo pretende a exploração de dois temas: Em primeiro lugar, as expectativas dos estudantes antes da sua ida para o Reino Unido para prosseguir os seus estudos, as suas percepções posteriormente e o seu nível de satisfação aquando da sua conclusão. Foram usados os termos empresariais de expectativa, percepção e satisfação. Os entrevistados foram abordados na London School of Economics e London South Bank University respectivamente. E tiveram lugar entrevistas semi-estruturadas. O conteúdo das entrevistas cobre tanto o âmbito das experiências académicas como da sua vida quotidiana. Segundo, analisa-se de que forma o ranking da universidade faz diferença no nível de expectativa, percepção ou satisfação dos alunos. Os resultados da investigação mostram que existem mais aspectos com os quais os alunos estão satisfeitos do que com aqueles com que não estão.. O ranking da universidade não parece ter influência vital no nível de satisfação dos estudantes. Os resultados da investigação não é são generalizáveis a todos os estudantes chineses do Reino Unido, mas serve como uma luz que indica que o caminho da investigação específica regional sobre estudantes estrangeiros tem valor.
In the past couple of years, the UK has been considered one of the most desirable places for Chinese students to pursue their higher education. However, its dominating position has been threatened recently. The experiences of Chinese students studying in the UK are under-researched, but more than necessary to be researched into. This study aims at exploring two themes. First, students’ expectations prior to their study in the UK and their perceptions and resultant satisfaction level afterwards. The business terms of expectation, perception and satisfaction were used. The research respondents were found from London School of Economics and London South Bank University respectively, and semi-structured interviews were carried out. The content of interview covers both their daily life experiences and their academic experiences. Second, how the ranking of a university make a difference in students’ expectations, perceptions and satisfaction level is explored. The findings show that there are more aspects students are satisfied with than not. The rank of a university does not have a vital influence in students’ satisfaction level. The research finding is not generalizable to all Chinese students in the UK, but it serves as a road sign indicating that the path of researching into regionalspecific overseas students is worthwhile.
