Lost Children: Hearing the Past in the Silence of an Empty House
Authors: Muñoz González Esther
Published: December 2017

This article analyses Maggie Gee’s novel Lost Children (1994) from the combined perspectives of feminist and trauma theories. It contends that the sudden disappearance of the protagonist’s teenage daughter triggers a psychological quest for the recovery of her voice and self, shattered by a traumatic experience she had in her childhood. My analysis, which pays especial attention to narratological issues —since this barely perceptible, insidious trauma is expressed both formally and thematically— shows that Alma’s behaviour is representative of the worries, expectations and impositions that contemporary children and women are subject to in western society, still imbued by patriarchal models and rules of behaviour.
“Su hija Inés”: católicas laicas, el obispo Luis María Martínez, y el conflicto religioso michoacano, 1927-1929
Authors: Butler Matthew
Published: December 2017

Este artículo pretende contribuir a la historia de la rebelión cristera (1926-1929) en Michoacán y a la historia del catolicismo laico en México. Argumenta que la persecución religiosa desatada por el gobierno callista creó un gravísimo problema eclesial para la Iglesia mexicana, al decapitar la estructura eclesiástica. Por lo mismo, la Iglesia tuvo que defenderse redefiniéndose como iglesia, cediendo espacios y facultades eclesiásticos a los seglares frente a la imposibilidad de que los sacerdotes siguieran ministrando públicamente. En fin, la persecución obligó a la Iglesia a revalorizar el papel del católico laico dentro de la institución y darle un papel mayor. El ensayo primero estudia la contribución a este proceso del obispo auxiliar de Morelia, Luis María Martínez, quien en sus escritos de la época desarrolló y teologizó el concepto del “sacerdocio místico de los fieles.” Luego estudia la correspondencia espiritual de varias mujeres católicas en Michoacán, siendo todas ellas dirigidas espirituales de Martínez, quienes intentaron llevar a la práctica este modelo del sacerdocio laico. Muestra que la participación de las católicas seglares fue clave en la historia religiosa de la rebelión cristera y que la rebelión permitió a muchas católicas realizarse como tales.

Modernismo versus pós-modernismo: o plano de Mies van der Rohe para Londres
Authors: Ramos Fernando Guillermo Vázquez
Published: December 2017

Este artigo discute as razões que levaram ao indeferimento de um projeto que Mies van der Rohe fez para a City de Londres nos anos 1960. Aprovado pelas autoridades em 1969, o projeto foi indeferido em 1982. Em 1984, o empresário Peter Palumbo, que contratara Mies em 1962, entrou com um pedido de reconsideração, que foi novamente rejeitado, em 1985. Terminava o longo processo de mais de 20 anos, que poderia ter dado “um Mies” à Londres, sendo substituído por um edifício de James Stirling. A mudança de atitude (aceita nos 1960, rejeitada nos anos de 1980) mostra o enfrentamento entre as visões moderna e pós-moderna, manifestadas no último quartel do Século XX. A pesquisa foi realizada sobre documentos públicos do arquivo Mansion House Scheme (Royal Institute of British Architects), nos quais (reports do processo) fica evidente que havia duas posições contrárias e legalmente bem sustentadas, apoiando ou rejeitando o projeto, o que leva a pensar que o indeferimento foi movido por outras razões. Além de expor o acontecido, este artigo aponta as motivações de caráter cultural, sobretudo estético, subjacente ao complexo processo que moldou essa área da City londrina. A reflexão apresentada embasa sua posição metodológica fundamentalmente em três formas de aproximação com o problema, através das quais, acredita-se que é possível interpretar e ponderar o porquê aquela sociedade, em tão pouco tempo, encampou e depois rejeitou o mesmo projeto. São elas: o valor da imagem, a identidade e, principalmente, o gosto.
Áreas urbanas marginais e projetos experimentais: subjetividades subalternas e suas territorialidades em cidades do noroeste de São Paulo
Authors: Fiorin Evandro
Published: December 2017

Muitas cidades do noroeste de São Paulo (Brasil), se desenvolveram com a chegada da ferrovia e tiveram grande prosperidade com a instalação de plantas agroindustriais próximas à linha férrea. No entanto, as sucessivas crises de matérias-primas — como o café e o algodão — e a falta de investimento na rede ferroviária brasileira levaram ao fechamento das fábricas e ao desmantelamento do transporte ferroviário. Em cidades como Presidente Prudente, Araçatuba, Birigui, São José do Rio Preto, Marília e Assis, porções das áreas centrais se converteram em interstícios urbanos sem destinação específica. Nestes locais, grandes galpões industriais, vilas de ferroviários em ruínas, estações de trem abandonadas, reservatórios d’água velhos e secos, antigas oficinas de locomotivas danosas e cemitérios de vagões de trem, agora são as folhas de um passado dourado e decadente, circunscrito no centro dessas cidades. Lugares marginais, com seus usos transgressores, ocupados, em sua maioria, por: andarilhos, pessoas sem-teto e usuários de drogas. Neste contexto, o trabalho tem sido a busca da cognição desses espaços por meio da leitura das pistas deixadas pelas subjetividades subalternas que habitam estas territorialidades. Para estudá-los, tentou-se fazer algumas montagens e desmontagens dessas áreas. “Representações” plurais, cartografias sensitivas, realizadas pelo método de investigação-ação — de uma maneira participativa e experimental — com os usuários do sítio; resultado de uma imersão no lugar pelo caminhar. Agenciamentos que fazem ver as áreas centrais dessas cidades desde uma perspectiva do “outro”; sensibilidades manifestas com distância do enfoque tradicional do planejamento urbano, das agendas governamentais e dos interesses do mercado. Um processo que se coloca em favor de um manifesto de uma nova urbanidade — de Histórias e das suas novas historicidades — capaz de conectar multiplicidades, de onde não se poderia separar, usos transgressores, usuários divergentes e uma paisagem infestada de contrastes. Aqui surge o conceito de “Arquitetura Marginal”, que poderia engendrar, por exemplo, ensaios na contracultura do espaço hegemônico. Isto é, projetos experimentais para as áreas e seus agentes dissidentes, talvez hábeis em gerar informação nova e novas ideias sobre o território e suas territorialidades.
As garantias do financiamento no Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida: há efetividade no benefício por perda ou redução de renda do fundo garantidor de habitação popular?
Authors: Guilhen Adriana Jesus , Castro Carolina Maria Pozzi de
Published: December 2017

O artigo analisa aspectos relevantes das garantias que asseguram o financiamento habitacional, sob a perspectiva da solvabilidade das famílias brasileiras para a aquisição da moradia. As garantias asseguram o financiamento de longo prazo, imprescindível à aquisição da casa própria em face da insuficiência de recursos pela maioria da população de média e baixa renda. O acesso à casa própria não se limita ao direito individual; o direito à moradia se enquadra dentre os direitos sociais garantidos constitucionalmente, cuja consecução se dá por meio de política habitacional que assegure o bem-estar e a inclusão social, o desenvolvimento socioeconômico e o direito à cidade. O objetivo deste artigo é estudar as garantias no financiamento habitacional do Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida, particularmente o Fundo Garantidor de Habitação Popular e a alienação fiduciária em garantia, instrumento comumente utilizado no inanciamento imobiliário. Nesta análise, foram abordadas as principais características e meios de efetivação destas garantias. Avalia-se que elas sejam direcionadas à consecução do direito à moradia; beneficiem as demandas de renda média e baixa para aquisição do imóvel residencial urbano; estimulem a concessão de crédito; tenham papel de prover estabilidade na amortização da dívida e de dar credibilidade financeira ao programa, apesar de se denotar dificuldades para efetivação do proveito de benefício por perda ou redução de renda do Fundo Garantidor de Habitação Popular.
O Centro Cultural da favela de Vila Prudente
Authors: Carranza Edite Galote
Published: December 2017

Este artigo tem como objetivo principal apresentar o Centro Cultural Vila Prudente (1990-2008), projeto do arquiteto-construtor Vitor Amaral Lotufo, localizado em uma das mais antigas favelas da cidade de São Paulo. Trata-se da primeira análise completa do projeto, baseada em fontes primárias: levantamento de campo, redesenho das unidades, depoimentos e entrevistas com o arquiteto e fontes secundárias, pesquisa de doutorado da autora e artigos. As seis unidades que compõem o projeto serão analisadas em relação ao contexto de produção do arquiteto e às técnicas construtivas nelas empregadas — sobretudo, o tijolo de barro comum — que resultaram em soluções espaciais inusuais e lúdicas. O trabalho pretende contribuir para o entendimento da obra, que traz uma forma alternativa de interveção em sítios precários, além de discutir se a experiência poderia ser replicada em outros locais semelhantes. Dessa forma, o artigo visa contribuir para futuras pesquisas sobre intervenções em favelas e para a historiografia da arquitetura de interesse social paulistana.

OS MUNICÍPIOS INVIÁVEIS E A PROTEÇÃO FEDERATIVO-CONSTITUCIONAL
Authors: Khamis Renato Braz Mehanna
Published: December 2017

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar se os Municípios inviáveis gozam (ou não) de proteção federativo-constitucional, isto é, daquela proteção atribuída pela Constituição aos entes federativos. Para tanto, são formuladas duas perguntas, as quais são respondidas ao final da investigação: (1) É admissível em uma federação a existência de entes economicamente inviáveis? (2) Caso existam Municípios nesta situação, seriam eles alcançados pela proteção federativo-constitucional? À luz das questões apresentadas foi formulada a seguinte hipótese: a existência de Municípios inviáveis viola a essência do pacto federativo e, portanto, Municípios nesta condição não estão protegidos pelas cláusulas federativo-constitucionais. Durante a análise científica da validade da hipótese apresentada foi utilizado o método dedutivo em pesquisa com objetivo explicativo, na medida em que buscou-se identificar os fatores aptos à aferir a validade da hipótese oferecida para a solução do problema objeto de estudo, sendo que, para atingir sua finalidade, adotou-se o procedimento bibliográfico, pois amparado por referências normativas e teóricas publicadas em meio escrito e eletrônico. Ao final, foi possível responder às questões formuladas, tendo ambas sido respondidas negativamente. Portanto, constatou-se a validade da hipótese formulada para a solução do problema objeto de estudo.
REFORMA DAS INSTITUIÇÕES PARA A DEMOCRACIA E O LEGADO AUTORITÁRIO: A BRANDA JUSTIÇA DE TRANSIÇÃO NO BRASIL
Authors: Cabral Rafael Lamera Giesta
Published: December 2017

O presente artigo tem por objetivo discutir um dos quatro pilares que fundamentam a ideia de Justiça de Transição: a reforma das instituições para a democracia. Considerando as inúmeras possibilidades de intervenção, o marco delimitatório do artigo compreende a reforma no contexto legislativo da Justiça Militar. A referência a um processo de transição de ditadura militar para democracia envolve uma importante ressignificação de comportamentos, práticas e valores que afetam diretamente a sociedade, instituições políticas e a própria relação do Estado com as duas primeiras. Mas uma transição, por si só, não basta: torna-se necessária a consolidação da democracia com práticas democráticas. Alegar que se vive em uma democracia e continuar com as mesmas ações consolidadas do período autoritário, definitivamente, não possibilita a efetivação de uma Justiça de Transição. Para que o objetivo seja alcançado, o artigo buscará levantar as principais ações de reforma das instituições frente a justiça militar produzidas a partir da Constituição de 1988 e analisar, sob enfoque literário, o impacto da ADPF n. 153 nas discussões sobre reforma das instituições. A abertura lenta, gradual e segura para a democracia ainda persistiu no pós-88. Em parte, a ausência de reformas nas instituições legislativas e militares permitiram um longo estágio de práticas autoritárias em detrimentos das práticas democráticas. Em pouco mais de 30 anos, a manutenção das práticas autoritárias produziu uma fissura no desenvolvimento da democracia brasileira, com reflexos diretos na árdua tarefa de consolidação de um regime de igualdade e liberdade permanentes.

Turismo cultural e educação patrimonial: conscientizar sobre a importância da preservação
Authors: Assunção Paulo de
Published: December 2017

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar o processo de discussão sobre a relação entre turismo cultural, patrimônio e educação patrimonial. A partir da década de 1980, o turismo cultural ganhou contornos claros como produto turístico, sendo possível identificar que a motivação da viagem tinha como objetivo principal conhecer a cultura ou patrimônio de um determinado destino/cidade. Essa ca-racterização fez com que esse segmento passasse paulatinamente a ser reconhecido como uma atividade de grande potencial e recebesse estudos mais aprofundados. Nos debates recentes, é evidenciada a importância da criação de uma legislação abrangente protetora e estimuladora do turismo cultural e da educação patrimonial a fim de criar uma cultura de conscientização sobre a importância da preservação do patrimônio.

Authors: Kuzmina N. G.
Published: December 2017

Problems of literacy, correctness of speech, correction of errors in printed editions, which rose a hundred years ago, are relevant today. For the first time there are examined the textbooks published for students and professionals in book printing. The main substantive aspects of the article are the role and importance of these textbooks. At the turn of XIX-XX centuries in St. Petersburg there were several schools of book printing, where in the classroom the students got acquainted with the basic techniques of typesetting works. There was a need of publishing the special literature. The authors of textbooks have become school teachers. The article analyzes the following editions: R. Nippert «ABC Books of Eastern and Western Languages» (SPb., 1859), A.Serkov «Quick Start Guide for Compositors of Typographic Art» (St. Petersburg., 1861), G. Kerbach «Slavic Alphabet» (SPb., 1894), G. Schroeder «On the History of Alphabets» (SPb., 1896). Publications on the history of alphabets made an enormous contribution to the expansion of knowledge on book printing in Russia and formed the basis for the subsequently developed special educational literature on the art of typesetting, book printing and decorating books.

Application of numerical basis sets with a family of DFT methods to predict the transition states of Diels-Alder reactions: Assessing the accuracy through synchronous transit method
Authors: Dutta Saurav , Mallik Bhabani S.
Published: December 2017

Knowledge of the transition state is crucial in determining the mechanism in order to diversify the applicability of the reaction. The computational method is the most convenient way to locate the transition state in the absence any efficient experimental technique. We have applied the method of the transition state search on the Diels-Alder reaction computationally by means of combined linear synchronous transit and quadratic synchronous transit methods. Here we have shown that, of various methods adopted, BOP functional with numerical basis set provides a computationally economical alternative to the widely used B3LYP functional with higher Gaussian basis sets in the transition state search. It can reproduce the experimental parameters like activation energy of the Diels-Alder reaction, and the calculations are much faster than the corresponding other functional based calculations.

For many years adsorption kinetics has been investigated, the development of kinetic model has been proceeded in order to obtain the particular kinetic model which better agree with the experimental data. As the result, dozens of kinetic models have been established and used individually despite there are a certain relationship between them. Students often ask which model should be selected to analyze their experimental data among different adsorption kinetic models. In order to clarify dependence relationship and similar degree between adsorption kinetic models, we calculated and compared. Calculation results were successfully compared with the correlation between them and an education method for adsorption kinetic study was proposed. This method can help graduate students of chemical engineering to understand the calculations on kinetics.
Teacher Education, Training and Experience: Knowing What, How, When, Why and With
Authors: Mcdonald Lex
Published: December 2017

Most teacher development programmes emphasise education and experience, the “what” and “how” of teaching. This article hypothesises that training is often overlooked as a powerful component of teacher development, consequently making achievement of expertise more problematic. Training can help the teacher move to higher levels of performance when the “what” and “how” are linked. Furthermore, it is suggested that transfer is a means of cementing this linking of the education, training and experiences of teachers so that on-the-job performance is sustained. Teacher educators need to know “why” some development strategies are used for transfer and, in particular, highlight those that provide understanding and experience “with” others.
Analysing the Early Childhood Qualification Implementation: The Experience of Montessori Centres
Authors: Freeman Sola
Published: December 2017

In 2002, the Ministry of Education in New Zealand released Pathways to the Future: Nga Huarahi Arataki. This 10-year strategic plan for early childhood education was the culmination of years of advocacy, research and consultation within the early childhood sector. A key component of the plan was a staged requirement for teachers in positions of “person responsible” in early childhood centres to have a Diploma of Teaching ECE or equivalent qualification. This article analyses the impact of the first stage of the qualification requirement, using the results of a small qualitative study of six Montessori early childhood centres in Wellington, and reviews the context, literature and policy issues that inspired and drove the policy requirement. It concludes that practical difficulties for centres and their teachers to upgrade means there is a need to supervise the support, intervention and creative strategies used to ensure no one is left behind, and diversity within early childhood education in New Zealand is maintained.

This article provides an overview of the progress towards implementing the government’s Early Childhood Strategic Plan 2002-2012 in the context of the election politics of 2005. This highlighted social and economic divides in which the so-called “nanny state” offered some differing solutions for the care and education of its youngest children.
Credible Subject Or Callow Intruder? Social Studies in the Secondary School
Authors: Taylor Rowena
Published: December 2017

After a chequered history, social studies is now developing a higher profile and greater credibility in secondary schools, the defining factor being its inclusion for national qualifications since 2002. This article links the progress of social studies in New Zealand secondary schools to the three stage subject development model postulated by Layton in England. It is argued that Layton’s descriptors of a mature subject have mostly been achieved, despite predictions to the contrary by Openshaw and Archer (1992) and Barr (2000). However, there is still much work to be done to sustain and enhance the status and credibility of the subject.
Innovative Initiatives: Targeting the Declining Science Enrolments in Ireland
Authors: Mccauley Veronica , Davison Kevin , Sullivan Keith
Published: December 2017

At a time of economic growth in Ireland, the declining numbers of students enrolling in the sciences is emerging as an educational concern. Using a 2002 Government of Ireland commissioned report on science: The Task Force on the Physical Sciences (TFPS) as a guide, this article examines initiatives aimed at promoting science education in relation to recent social, philosophical, economic and cultural changes in the Republic of Ireland. Shifts in thinking about science teaching and innovative pedagogical strategies at both the secondary and tertiary levels of education are discussed.
“Teachers of Promise”: Is Teaching Their First Career Choice?
Authors: Lovett Susan
Published: December 2017

This study, as part of a larger longitudinal study, “Teachers of Promise”, seeks to explore the perceptions and experiences of a group of teachers judged to have the potential to become strong teachers. It is these promising teachers who are needed for a strong and vibrant teaching profession, and it is these teachers who are most likely to leave teaching. Entrants to teaching have been differentiated according to the pathways of first career and career/job-changers. This study shows no appreciable differences between the two groups of teachers in their reasons for entering teaching, a finding that accords with international experience. Given international concerns about recruitment and retention in the teaching profession, there is an increasing need for messages about teaching as a career choice to be positive rather than negative.
The Changing Face of Kindergarten: A National Picture of Two-Year Olds Within Kindergartens
Authors: Duncan Judith , Dalli Carmen , Lawrence Julie
Published: December 2017

In a Teaching and Learning Research Initiatives-funded study of the experiences of under-three year olds and their teachers in selected kindergartens in two urban areas of New Zealand, it became clear that the macro policies at the kindergarten association and government levels have resulted in changes in the daily experiences of children and kindergarten teachers. A national survey of kindergarten associations, and focus group discussions conducted as part of the project, illustrated some of the changes brought about by the policy of diversification. This article argues that the changes suggest that the national context of kindergartens is no longer homogenous.
The Contribution of Research to the Review of National Qualifications Policy: The Case of the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA)
Authors: Philips David
Published: December 2017

New Zealand has implemented a major reform of secondary qualifications since 2002. This has attracted interest in the United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa and elsewhere. It is a standards-based system, whereby learners meet explicit “standards” (statements of knowledge and behaviour and assessment criteria) to gain national qualifications. Secondary students now gain credits towards the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA). The introduction of the NCEA by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) has been contested, but following government reviews of the conduct of the 2004 national secondary examinations, changes were introduced for the 2005 examinations, and further system review, research and technical monitoring are underway. The purpose of this article is to analyse how research on the NCEA using multiple sources of enquiry has contributed towards understanding its impact on learners, teachers and parents. It concludes with a consideration of some ways in which its implementation might be improved, and raises possible issues for any future review.
Beyond the Rhetoric of "Quality" and "Relevance": Evaluating the Tertiary Education Strategy 2007-12
Authors: Roberts Peter
Published: December 2017

This article provides an overview and critique of the Tertiary Education Strategy 2007-12 (Ministry of Education, 2006). The author sets the Strategy in the context of earlier policy developments in the tertiary education sector. It is argued that while some important changes have been made in the post-1999 “Third Way” years, a number of continuities from the more nakedly neoliberal era of the 1990s are evident. Economic concerns remain dominant in policy thinking, the commodification of knowledge has intensified, new forms of competition have emerged, and the language of reform has not changed as much as might have been expected. The author concludes that there is a certain narrowness of vision in the new Strategy, and that what is needed is deeper reflection on fundamental epistemological and ethical questions.
The Changing Role of Industry Training Organisations in New Zealand
Authors: Moses Karen , Strathdee Rob
Published: December 2017

Recent developments in the provision and funding of industry training in New Zealand have provided substantial challenges for Industry Training Organisations. This article focuses upon the role that they are expected to play in supporting the Labour-led Coalition’s Economic Transformation (ET) agenda, and explores some of the challenges created. A major aim of the ET agenda is to produce globally competitive firms by better directing the government investment in education and training and in research, science and technology. In this context, Industry Training Organisations are expected to play an increasingly active role in driving the government’s investment in industry training. This article considers some of the barriers and challenges they face in meeting these new government expectations.
Conflicting Demands: Reviewing the Impact of Youth Policies on New Zealand Schools
Authors: Beals Fiona
Published: December 2017

Government policies are often developed outside of the Ministry of Education, but with education and schooling in mind. This article will look at two such policies: the Youth Development Strategy Aotearoa (YDSA) and the Youth Offending Strategy (YOS). It will explore the contradictory ways in which the purpose and role of schooling are constructed within these policies and the resulting conflicting expectations placed on the compulsory schooling system. These expectations reflect classical notions of the functions of education. The challenge is to redevelop schooling “as we know it” by incorporating a key strength of the YDSA – that of authentic youth participation.
Feedback: The Heart of Good Pedagogy
Authors: Kahu Ella R.
Published: December 2017

Researchers agree that while feedback is central to learning it is under-researched and under-theorised. It could also be argued that within the tertiary sector, feedback is also under-utilised. This article reviews the literature on external formal feedback in higher education settings and makes recommendations to help redress this lack. Following a summary of the effects of feedback on achievement and learning, the different levels at which feedback operates, evaluative, motivational, and cognitive, are discussed. Strategies for increasing the efficacy of feedback, in particular timing and focus, are identified. Moves towards more contemporary constructivist understandings of learning have led to a focus on the role of feedback in developing self-regulated learners and how it is mediated by students’ beliefs. It is argued that this results in a need for a shift towards a more student-centred view of feedback.
National Standards for New Zealand's Primary and Intermediate School Pupils
Authors: Thrupp Martin
Published: December 2017

A key education policy plank for the National Party going into the 2008 election is to be National Standards for primary and intermediate pupils in reading, writing and numeracy. These are seen to be more acceptable than the national testing which occurs in England, the United States and other countries. But are they really more acceptable? This article will review evidence about the perverse effects of national testing, consider what is known about the National Standards proposed for New Zealand, and assess whether they are likely to avoid many of the same damaging effects on schools and pupils. It is argued that although the National Party is trying to distinguish its policies from national testing, the distinctions are not yet significant enough to prevent the problems which have been experienced overseas.
New Zealand Day-Special Schools: Changes and Challenges Under Special Education 2000
Authors: McMenamin Trish
Published: December 2017

Special Education 2000 was introduced in 1996; the policy heralded a new era of resourcing and organisation for special education aimed to foster and develop an inclusive education system in New Zealand. This article explores the impact of that policy on New Zealand day-special schools. It is suggested that an unintended consequence of the implementation of Special Education 2000 was that day-special schools experienced a period of significant growth and expansion. The effects of this growth and expansion on the schools and their communities are discussed and the future role of day-special schools in an “inclusive” policy environment is considered.
Emerging school-level education policy under National 2008-9
Authors: Thrupp Martin
Published: December 2017

This article discusses school level education policy developments over 2009, during National’s first year in office. National was elected amidst a growing sense of recession and quickly made cuts to a range of programmes, claiming these were necessary to rein in government spending. However there was a hollow ring to these claims given the nature of what was cut and given new spending on private schools. A stronger privatisation agenda was signalled in other areas as well and in its first year National also introduced National Standards, a nationwide form of assessment for primary and intermediate school children. This article discusses these developments and their contestation by some in the sector. It concludes that if the contested ideology of neoliberalism comes to further dominate New Zealand education policy in the next few years, research could have an important role to play in providing some light amidst the heat of reform. However, New Zealand’s capacity to undertake research into the impact of education policy is becoming quite limited. This is making it increasingly important to tap into academic analyses of neo-liberal policies in other national settings where research and scholarship is often better funded and more able to be searching than its New Zealand counterpart.
The status of children's rights in early childhood education policy 2009
Authors: Te One Sarah , Dalli Carmen
Published: December 2017

Under the current National-led government the combined effects of a new political agenda and a world-wide recession have resulted in a discernible shift in policy priorities. Using a children’s rights-based lens, this paper considers changes in early childhood policy during 2009 and argues that these shifts impact the integrity of the 10-year early childhood Strategic Plan introduced in 2002. They also put in question whether children’s rights to high-quality early childhood education policy are really taken seriously within the policy arena.
The issue of government’s role in providing high quality early childhood services is highlighted as one that derives from children’s citizenship rights. The paper concludes that a new critical ecology of the early childhood sector is emerging which uses a children’s rights perspective to evaluate current policy and envision possible futures.
