Abstract

Reinforcement of differences in educational systems and school curricula may be expected in Europe due to societal crises and transformations. Thus, it is likely that cultural “variants of a capitalist spirit” and different concepts of economic education will become evident in a corresponding curriculum analysis. In this study, we focused on cultures of economic education at the level of grammar school curricula in a federal, multilingual context. We aimed to compare subject content in curricula and identify structural characteristics (e.g. regional language, graduation rates, and cantonal university) associated with differences in subject content. Taking Switzerland as an example, we compiled a representative dataset with 47 curricula and qualitatively analyzed subject content. The results showed that subject content clearly differs in terms of curriculum language, but no clear pattern was found regarding other structural characteristics. We concluded that cultural “variants of a capitalist spirit” are present differently across language regions. This perspective on local differences may help us to understand conflicting goals and measures when facing economic crises on a global level.

经济教育的文化:多语言比较中的文法学校课程

由于社会危机和变革，欧洲可能会加强教育制度和学校课程的差异。因此，在相应的课程分析中，文化“资本主义精神的变体”和不同的经济教育概念很可能会变得明显。在本研究中，我们将重点放在联邦多语言背景下文法学校课程层面的经济教育文化。我们的目的是比较课程中的学科内容，并确定与学科内容差异相关的结构特征(如地区语言、毕业率和州立大学)。以瑞士为例，编制了具有代表性的47门课程数据集，并对学科内容进行了定性分析。结果表明，学科内容在课程语言上存在明显差异，但在其他结构特征上没有明显的规律。我们的结论是，文化“资本主义精神的变体”在不同的语言地区呈现出不同的形式。这种对地方差异的看法可以帮助我们理解在全球范围内面临经济危机时相互冲突的目标和措施。

期刊介绍： The European Educational Research Journal (EERJ) is a scientific journal interested in the changing landscape of education research across Europe. Education research increasingly crosses the borders of the national through its subjects of study, scholarly collaborations and references. The EERJ publishes education research papers and special issues which include a reflection on how the European context and other related global or regional dynamics shape their educational research topics. The European Educational Research Journal publishes double-blind peer-reviewed papers in special issues and as individual articles. The EERJ reviews submitted papers on the basis of the quality of their argument, the contemporary nature of their work, and the level of ''speaking'' to the European audience. Policy-makers, administrators and practitioners with an interest in European issues are now invited to subscribe. The EERJ publishes peer reviewed articles, essay reviews and research reports (forms of research intelligence across Europe)
