Toward an international measure of global competence? A critical look at the PISA 2018 framework

ABSTRACTThis paper focuses on the OECD’s PISA 2018 international framework for global competence. Given the growing national and international attention on educating for global competence, and absent of other measures, there is a need to scrutinise this framework. Our critical analysis is conceptually framed by academic literature related to (a) the OECD’s influential role in facilitating neoliberal education policy trends, (b) disjuncture and debate surrounding global competence, and (c) how influence is garnered through measurement technologies. We conclude by encouraging the OECD to be transparent in the reporting of results and educational stakeholders to be cautious interpreters of forthcoming results and rankings.

The role of family members influencing rural Queensland students’ higher education decisions

ABSTRACTHigher education has the capacity to alter the life course of students. Cultural and social capital are central to educational opportunity and successful outcomes (Bourdieu, 1986. The forms of capital. In J. G. Richardson (Ed.), Handbook of Theory and research for the Sociology of Education (pp. 241–258). New York: Greenwood Press.; Reay, 2004. Education and cultural capital: the implications of changing trends in education policies. Cultural Trends, 13(2), 73–86.; Abbott-Chapman, Johnston, & Jetson, 2014. Rural belonging, place attachment and youth educational mobility: Rural parents’ views. Rural Society, 23(3), 296–310.). Drawing upon interviews with 25 high school students in rural and remote Queensland, Australia, this article investigates the relationship among rural students’ social and cultural capital, their families, and their attitude towards higher education. The students originate from a sample who are interested in careers in the digital arena and who see the value of participating in the digital economy. Building cultural and social capital through higher education offers career and social opportunities to those who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. Existing cultural and capital, however, can play a substantial role in the decisions that influence rural youth toward, or away from, higher education. Interview data suggests family members are strong influences on young rural people making decisions about their future. Parents and older family members inspire students to pursue higher education, while siblings and cousins who attending university offer firsthand information about university life. Data also emphasise students’ concerns about moving from their country hometowns, and awareness of physical barriers, such as distance and money.

Less inequality through universal access? Socioeconomic background of tertiary entrants in Australia after the expansion of university participation

This article investigates the consequences of an expansion of domestic university places in Australia after 2009 for inequalities in access to tertiary education. I focused on how different individual-level socioeconomic factors were influencing not only the likelihood of continuing education at the tertiary level but also a type of institution one studies at. Thus, I simultaneously analyse vertical and horizontal dimensions of inequalities in access. The expansion has not dramatically changed the differentiated access within different socioeconomic groups. However, the influence of parental education and secondary school context on continuing education has weakened. But those who have benefited the most are young people from upper service class. They not only approach near-universal access faster than other social classes but also improve their relative chances to study at the most prestigious institutions. Controlling for academic ability at the age of 15 showed that socioeconomic background continuous to matter after that age. This means that student-oriented equity policies undertaken closer to the point of transition to tertiary education have a capacity to decrease educational inequalities. Results are discussed against the background of the current higher education policy trends regarding equity in access.
