Prof. Dr. Florian Waldow

Prof. Waldow erforscht, wie internationale Großstudien wie PISA und andere Large-Scale Assessments die nationale Bildungspolitik prägen und welche Rolle Ländervergleiche dabei spielen. Sein aktueller Fokus liegt darauf, wie Staaten und internationale Organisationen (UNESCO, OECD) Vergleichsdaten nutzen, um Reformen zu legitimieren, und wie nationale Stereotype dabei beeinflussen, welche Länder als Vorbilder oder Negativbeispiele wahrgenommen werden. Für Bildungsbehörden und Ministerien ist das relevant, um zu verstehen, wie Benchmarking-Prozesse funktionieren und welche unbewussten Mechanismen hinter Policy-Entscheidungen stecken. Seine Arbeiten zeigen auch, wie Leistungsbewertungssysteme in verschiedenen Ländern (Schweden, Deutschland, England) unterschiedlich mit dem Anspruch von Meritokratie und Chancengleichheit umgehen.

• Rethinking the pattern of external policy referencing: media discourses over the ‘Asian Tigers’’ PISA success in Australia, Germany and South Korea

  2014

  Comparative Education · DOI

  The article compares how the success of the ‘Asian Tiger’ countries in PISA, especially PISA 2009, was depicted in the media discussion in Australia, Germany and South Korea. It argues that even in the times of today's ‘globalised education policy field’, local factors are important in determining whether or not a country becomes a reference society for educational reform. The article aims to uncover some of these factors, identifying the globally disseminated stereotypes about Asian education, economic relations and the sense of ‘crisis’ induced through the relative position and change of position in PISA league tables in the countries in question.
