摘要

管理工具的作用不仅仅是管理和组织,它们还能对教育概念进行分类并促进教育概念的构建。本文展示了瑞典市政当局在将成人教育外包给非公立教育机构时,如何通过招标采购将 "教育 "与可衡量的投标评估标准相称。借鉴惯例社会学的方法和 47 个采购实例,我说明了招标评估标准通过不同程度的相称性来界定什么是 "理想的 "教育。此外,我还展示了旨在评估和比较标书的机制是如何构建不同的教育价值的--例如,将成本效益视为有价值的;将教育构建为按需服务;或者采用供需方法,将价值视为流动的。根据所举例的换算和价值,我讨论了通过招标采购实现教育私有化的后果。由于竞争本身就是一种工具,因此它变得很有价值。此外,采购将教育利益相关者重新塑造为市场角色,并重塑了他们之间的关系。总之,这篇文章强调了了解教育私有化的组织方式以及管理工具在塑造教育方面所发挥的作用的重要性,呼吁开展重要的教育研究,深入探讨其动态和影响。

How auctions shape the value of education: Tendering-based procurement as management tool in adult education
Management tools do more than manage and organise – they classify and contribute to the construction of education-as-concept. This article shows how tendering-based procurement, used by Swedish municipalities to outsource adult education to non-public providers, works to commensurate ‘education’ into measurable tender evaluation criteria. Drawing on the sociology of conventions approach and 47 procurement examples, I show that tendering evaluation criteria define what constitutes ‘desirable’ education through various degrees of commensuration. Further, I show how mechanisms intended to evaluate and compare bids also construct the value of education different – for example, promoting cost-efficiency as valuable; constructing education as an on-demand service; or by assuming a supply-and-demand approach and viewing value as fluid. Based on the exemplified commensurations and valuations, I discuss the consequences of education privatization via tendering-based procurement. Since competition is inherently built into the tool, it becomes valuable. Further, procurement recasts education stakeholders into market roles and reshapes their relationships. In short, the article underscores the importance of understanding how education privatization is organized and what role management tools play in shaping education, calling for critical education research to delve into their dynamics and impact.

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)
