Dorthe Staunæs, Katja Brøgger, and John Benedicto Krejsler (Eds.), Performative approaches to education reforms: exploring intended and unintended effects of reforms morphing as they move, Routledge: 2019; 114 pp.: ISBN: 13:978-0-367-24645-7

Šušterič, Nika (author)

The collection of contributions covers various topics that share a com-mon set of parameters, dictated by the adopted framework of performative approaches to education reforms. The papers shed new light and offer new insights into many topics that have become a standard part of discussions in the field of education (e.g., marketisation of education, large scale international assessments, student motivation etc.) and thus surely achieve the main goal of nuancing education reform research and knowledge production. The specific-ity of the approach and its introduction in the book – specifically, its distanc-ing from other approaches and the recent contemporary shifts that support it – can also open up a further discussion, one of the theoretical approach itself and theoretical approaches more generally.
