It discusses how those theories and models find their epistemological conditions of possibility in a specific set of conceptual transferences from mathematics and statistics, political economy, biology and the study of language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book critically engages with the epistemic dimension of contemporary educational evaluation and is of theoretical and methodological interest. It uses Foucauldian archaeology as a problematising method of inquiry within the wider framework of governmentality studies. It goes beyond a mere critique of the contemporary obsession for evaluation and attempts to replace it with the opening of a free space where the search for a mode of being, acting and thinking in education is not over-determined by the tyranny of improvement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will appeal to academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of educational philosophy, education policy and social science.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54237523050840,"sku":"9781032090382","price":51.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032090382_db770b81-1f17-4ada-a6a6-631f97e91a70.jpg?v=1777524315","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/archaeology-of-educational-evaluation","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
