Introduction -- 2. Perceptions of Policy -- 3. Policy Paradigms Frameworks: Gaps Within Research -- 4. The Four Orientations to Education Framework . 330 $aAnalysis of education policy often follows a particular orientation, such as conservative or neo-liberal. Yet, readers are often left to wonder the true meaning and conceptual framing behind these orientations. Without this knowledge, the policy analysis lacks true rigor, its value is diminished as the results may prove difficult to reproduce.  Understanding Education Policy provides an overarching framework of four key orientations that lie beneath much policy analysis, yet are rarely used with accuracy: conservative, liberal, critical and post-modern. It details each orientation's application to policy making, implementation and overall impact. The book also argues the value of analysing a policy?s orientation to improve the clarity of its analysis and allow broader trends across the education policy field to emerge. The book offers practical examples, key vocabulary and reflection activities which give equitable, yet critical consideration to all education orientations. This allows readers to see the benefits and disadvantages of each perspective and discover their own biases. This introduction to education policy analysis offers theoretically broad, highly practical coverage. It is adaptable to many kinds of policy analysis areas and will appeal to a wide range of readers with an interest in education policy, from students conducting specific research to policy makers looking for a deeper way to re-think their work. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Education,$x2211-193X 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aEducation$xPhilosophy 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics 606 $aEducational Philosophy 606 $aPhilosophy of Education 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aEducation$xPhilosophy. 615 14$aEducational Policy and Politics. 615 24$aEducational Philosophy. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Education. 676 $a379 700 $aJones$b Tiffany$0990579 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910737301103321 996 $aUnderstanding Education Policy$93530102 997 $aUNINA
