Title
Doing Critical Policy Analysis in Education Research: An Emerging Paradigm
Abstract/Description
“The profound shifts taking place in contemporary social life require a shift in our research traditions” (Young, Am Educ Res J, 36:677–714, 1999, p. 705). The study of educational policy through a critical frame allows for a nuanced, holistic understanding of the complexities associated with education policy, from problem finding and framing to policy development, implementation, and evaluation. This chapter focuses on the practice of critical policy analysis within the field of education, including the theoretical and methodological approaches used by critical policy researchers. In addition to providing specific examples of critical policy studies, the chapter provides guidance for novice scholars who are interested in engaging in CPA and identifies a set of recommended readings.
