Abstract

Intergovernmental Organisations (IGOs) have been playing a prominent role in the Open Educational Resources (OER) movement in advocating for and supporting the development of governmental OER policies. Research shows that IGOs perform multiple roles in influencing national and global education policy processes and possess multiple policy instruments with which they can assert their influence. We adopted the conceptual framework of policy instruments to understand the types of policy instruments applied by the selected IGOs. We carried out semi-structured interviews with representatives from four important IGOs. Results show that the selected IGOs collectively used discursive dissemination, funding, technical assistance, standard-setting and coordinative functions OER policy instruments to influence the development of governmental OER policies. We report on the perceived and observed successes of these IGOs OER policy instruments and the related challenges. We discuss relevant findings and their implications for further research and activities of IGOs.
政府间组织(IGOs)和政府开放教育资源(OER)政策:国际政策影响工具
政府间组织(IGOs)在开放教育资源(OER)运动中发挥了突出作用,倡导和支持政府 制定开放教育资源政策。研究表明,政府间组织在影响国家和全球教育政策进程方面发挥着多重作用,并拥有多种政策工具,可以发挥其影响力。我们采用政策工具的概念框架来了解所选政府间组织采用的政策工具类型。我们对四个重要政府间组织的代表进行了半结构式访谈。结果表明,所选政府间组织共同使用了话语传播、资助、技术援助、标准制定和协调功能等开放式教育资源政策工具,以影响政府开放式教育资源政策的制定。我们报告了这些政府间组织开放式教育资源政策工具所取得的成功和面临的挑战。我们讨论了相关结论及其对进一步研究和政府间组织活动的影响。
