Kemunculan wabah Covid-19 memicu terjadinya berbagai perubahan dalam berbagai aspek kehidupan, baik ...dari segi aspek sosial, kesehatan, pendidikan, dan lain sebagainya. Selain itu, dengan adanya wabah Covid-19 ini menyebabkan munculnya berbagai kebijakan-kebijakan baru yang disusun oleh pemerintah guna memutus mata rantai penyebaran Covid-19. Termasuk di dalamnya yaitu kebijakan dalam sektor pendidikan. Sesuai dengan kebijakan yang dikeluarkan oleh Kemendikbud, bahwa demi memutus mata rantai penyebaran wabah Covid-19 kegiatan belajar mengajardiberbagai jenjang pendidikan dilaksanakan secara daring (dalam jaringan)dan luring (luar jaringan).

Abstract:
The Covid-19 pandemic has occurred in our beloved country Indonesia for almost a year. The emergence of the Covid-19 outbreak triggered various changes in various aspects of life, both in terms of social, health, education, and so on. In addition, the Covid-19 outbreak has led to the emergence of various new policies formulated by the government to break the chain of spreading Covid-19. This includes policies in the education sector. In accordance with the policy issued by the Ministry of Education and Culture, that in order to break the chain of the spread of the Covid-19 outbreak, teaching and learning activities at various levels of education are carried out online (online) and offline (outside the network). This is something new in our world of education. Which is usually the teaching and learning process carried out directly. Now, when the Covid-19 pandemic has to be done with the internet media or referred to as online (in the network). With the existence of this policy, it is a challenge for teachers and students as actors of education, especially in areas that lack technology and internet networks.This challenge applies to all teachers of educational institutions, including teachers under Islamic education institutions. Keywords: Education policy, Islamic education
As a community of practice, educational psychologists are unpracticed in considering how educational policies might affect the phenomena they study. One reason is the traditional focus of educational ...psychology research on cross-contextual individual processes, to the practical exclusion of the political context that frames teaching, learning, motivation, development, and achievement. In this article, I argue that policy-oriented educational psychology research is imperative, not only for the relevance of educational psychology to educational policy and practice, but for generating ecologically valid educational psychology theory. To support policy-oriented educational psychology research, I offer a straightforward framework that incorporates policy and the lived educational context into the classic facets of educational psychology research projects. I end with an illustrative example of implementing the framework in designing a proposal for a small-scale investigation around a district policy concerned with a controversial and impactful educational practice-grading.
Tracing historical and cultural factors which gave rise to the Nordic Education Model, this volume explores why Northern European education policy has become an international benchmark for schooling. ...The text explains the historical connection between a Nordic ideal of democracy and schooling, and indicates how values of equality, welfare, justice, and individualism might be successfully integrated in national school systems and curricula around the world. The volume also highlights recent debates around the longevity of the Nordic model and explores the risks and challenges posed by international policy and assessment agendas. Exploring how Nordic education polices successfully merge social equity with academic excellence, the book combines cultural, historical, sociological and philosophical analysis with a deep exploration of curriculum and teaching. This book will be of great interest to researchers, scholars, and postgraduates working across the fields of curriculum, comparative education, cultural studies and history and philosophy of education and education policy.
This study assesses the coherence of Canada’s educational policy regime with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees’ (UNHCR) Refugee Education 2030 strategy. We articulate a theoretical ...framework that combines theories about policy coherence, policy attributes, and policy tools, which informs a two-phase methodology. First, we conducted jurisdiction-based scoping reviews of policies in Canada’s 13 provinces and territories which have constitutional authority over education. This yielded a sample of 155 documents, which we then analyzed for its vertical coherence with Refugee Education 2030. Our analysis focused on five categories of need in the UNHCR strategy with respect to refugee students, namely access to education, accelerated education, language education, mental health and psychosocial support, and special education. The findings reveal there are policies across Canada that target responses to the five categories of need. Although some policies are exemplary in their coherence with Refugee Education 2030, Canada’s refugee education policy regime is characterized by many inconsistencies and significant gaps. Policymakers in Canada could use the specific findings to develop or revise policies to address shortcomings. Researchers and policymakers in other countries who find value in our approach could replicate the study’s method in their own jurisdictions, using the instruments provided in appendices to identify strengths and gaps.
The purpose of this study is to conceptualize and theorize the circulation-chain model as an education policy implementation framework systematically. The circular-chain education policy ...implementation process and effect evaluation analysis model are a theoretical innovation model and practical exploration path to explore the implementation and effect evaluation of education policies according to the new problems and trends in the implementation of education policies. In particular, the connotation, the theoretical basis, the elements, the value, and the objective and significance of the circulation-chain education policy implementation model have been explored and analyzed in this study.
Neste trabalho, problematizamos a trajetória de institucionalização da participação sociopolítica no Brasil e seus efeitos e implicações para a educação e para o campo das políticas educacionais. ...Para isso, recorremos à literatura e periodizamos essa relação em cinco momentos, assim identificados por diferentes características e distintos resultados para a educação. Concluímos que a participação na educação é sempre tensionada por diferentes atores e cenários, que ora promovem um avanço da institucionalização da participação, ora induzem a um recuo desse princípio na definição das políticas educacionais. Aponta-se ainda a dificuldade de transposição das políticas de governo rumo às políticas de estado e a consequente fragilidade do estatuto da participação na condução dos assuntos educacionais.
In this article, based on my Presidential Address for the 2022 American Educational Research Association (AERA) Annual Meeting, I offer some thoughts on the education and learning systems we need for ...the future. Specifically, I take up two core questions: (1) How do we organize education and learning systems for a multicultural democracy? (2) How do we build systems that transcend and transform how we have been doing “education” and that are designed to support rich and engaging learning and critical thinking skills and to fully educate young people in ways that honor their whole humanity, their developmental needs, and their families and communities? As I take up these questions, I draw on multiple pieces of research literature and craft a vision for the future of learning rooted in the hope of what is possible.
