Einleitend präsentieren die Verfasser die Entwicklungen der Rechtsgrundlagen zunehmender Europäisierung auf dem Gebiet der Bildungspolitik. Die Harmonisierung der nationalen Politiken wird als dominante Tendenz des Bildungswesens der EU-Mitgliedsstaaten gekennzeichnet. Sie geht mit einer Zentralisierung der Kompetenzen auf der Ebene von Europäischen Institutionen einher. In diesem Kontext wird die Dynamik der Kombinationen von Instrumenten, Zielsetzungen und Akteurskonstellationen der europäischen Bildungspolitik untersucht. Es wird hervorgehoben, dass die Intensivierung der Zusammenarbeit auf diesem Politikfeld eng mit der Förderung der wissensbasierten ökonomischen Entwicklung verbunden ist. Am Beispiel Deutschlands, wo das Bildungswesen zum Kompetenzbereich der Landespolitik gehört, wird die Entscheidungsfindung als eine Mehrebenenpolitik dargestellt. Abschließend werden die Entwicklungsperspektiven europäischer Bildungspolitik zur Diskussion gestellt. (ICF).
Chronicles the history of public education in Germany from the foundation of the first universities in the 14th century to the present, highlighting issues of (1) state & church power, (2) hierarchical organization, (3) goals & curricula, (4) social function, & (5) pedagogies & politics. It is shown how the schools served to preserve social segmentation based on the principle of "occupational estates" (Berufsstande), through which, following elementary education at the Volksschules, the lower classes were steered into vocational training while the middle & upper classes enjoyed an education at gymnasiums (secondary schools) that allowed them entrance into bourgeoisie society or membership in the aristocracy as educated elite. Changes in educational policy under National Socialism & during the post-WWII period are outlined, tracing the development of more equal educational opportunities for all children. A call is made for continued educational reform to more closely link general & vocational education so as to improve coordination between education & employment. K. Hyatt Stewart

The author first provides a concise historical overview of New Zealand education, before examining what he calls the "big bang" in education in the 1980s. Subsequently, the author focuses on the impact of IOs on education policy, politics, and polity in New Zealand. Emphasis is placed on how IO governance has guided and facilitated the "phase of stabilization and optimization" since the drastic reform of the 1980s. Particular attention is dedicated to how New Zealand has managed tensions between various guiding principles on education, for example, human capital vs. human right, and the potential impact of IOs. The conclusion offers a summarizing analysis of the findings through the prism of state transformation capacity and international stimuli for policy change. (DIPF/Orig.).

[The author tried] to review how the debate of the significance of community for political thinking and citizenship education has emerged out, of the liberalism versus communitarian debate and the revival of a civic republican conception of politics. This raises the issue of how do we develop through community involvement, especially on the local level, a more deliberative and democratic politics which can also provide a more political framework for citizenship education. Thus community involvement in the new citizenship curriculum based on the pedagogy of service learning must address the question of how the learning experience can be best structured to challenge students to become learning experience can be best structured to challenge students to become 'political' and aware of the political significance of civic engagement in local communities.

This chapter analyzes the networks of education politics in the four main selected countries [Germany, Switzerland, England and New Zealand]. It indicates that despite apparent changes in education policy the modes of political interaction, that is, actors and processes, have remained considerably stable in all countries. Obviously, the internationalization of education politics has not triggered the displacement of domestic actors, but has resulted in the attachment of international actors to the domestic sphere.

The development of political competence is an important task of political education in school. It requires volition and motivation to solve tasks that are presented in political education lessons or in daily life. The present study aims to contribute to conceptual knowledge of the specialised concept of European players - a sub-facet of political knowledge. For the intervention study lesson materials on the European Union were developed. The motivational orientation was assessed as a dependent variable in each case in order to increase the knowledge of the influencing parameters in school lessons. Membership in associations/ clubs, domain-specific self-concept, democratic classroom climate, interest in the subjects of the lessons were the influencing factors (predictors) for learning. A knowledge and motivation test was conducted. A total of 572 students were assessed on the first measurement occasion and 502 of these were identified on the second measurement occasion. When the pupils believe they can solve the tasks, they muster the necessary persistence and cognitive resources. A poor domain-specific self-concept and low level of interest in the subject result in the pupils' avoidance of tackling the tasks.
