Introduction -- 2. Perceptions of Policy -- 3. Policy Paradigms Frameworks: Gaps Within Research -- 4. The Four Orientations to Education Framework .Analysis of education policy often follows a particular orientation, such as conservative or neo-liberal. Yet, readers are often left to wonder the true meaning and conceptual framing behind these orientations. Without this knowledge, the policy analysis lacks true rigor, its value is diminished as the results may prove difficult to reproduce.  Understanding Education Policy provides an overarching framework of four key orientations that lie beneath much policy analysis, yet are rarely used with accuracy: conservative, liberal, critical and post-modern. It details each orientation's application to policy making, implementation and overall impact. The book also argues the value of analysing a policy’s orientation to improve the clarity of its analysis and allow broader trends across the education policy field to emerge. The book offers practical examples, key vocabulary and reflection activities which give equitable, yet critical consideration to all education orientations. This allows readers to see the benefits and disadvantages of each perspective and discover their own biases. This introduction to education policy analysis offers theoretically broad, highly practical coverage. It is adaptable to many kinds of policy analysis areas and will appeal to a wide range of readers with an interest in education policy, from students conducting specific research to policy makers looking for a deeper way to re-think their work.SpringerBriefs in Education,2211-1921Educational policyEducation and stateEducation—PhilosophyPhilosophy and social sciencesEducational Policy and Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O19000Educational Philosophyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O38000Philosophy of Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E25000Educational policy.Education and state.Education—Philosophy.Philosophy and social sciences.Educational Policy and Politics.Educational Philosophy.Philosophy of Education.379Jones Tiffanyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut990579BOOK9910737301103321Understanding Education Policy3530102UNINA
