Descripción del proyecto
Investigar el impacto de las ONG en la educación
Los niños constituyen el 30 % de la población mundial y su educación es una preocupación universal. Lo que constituye la «mejor» educación es un tema de debate permanente, muy influido por la globalización. Aunque las organizaciones no gubernamentales (ONG) desempeñan un papel vital en las redes educativas internacionales, su impacto exacto sigue sin estar claro. Financiado por el Consejo Europeo de Investigación, el equipo del proyecto EmergEd profundizará en la aparición de espacios no gubernamentales mundiales en la educación y sus repercusiones en los sistemas educativos y las escuelas. En EmergEd se empleará el análisis de redes sociales (ARS) y el análisis de redes de discurso (ARD) junto con el análisis cualitativo de datos basado en los principios de la teoría fundamentada. Estos métodos contribuirán al desarrollo de nuevas teorías y metodologías en este campo.
Objetivo
About 30 per cent of the world’s population are children. Children are not only the most important people for their parents, but also the future of our societies. Providing them with the best possible education is of inestimable importance. Which education is best, however, is a question that is continually being negotiated. For a long time, this question was answered primarily by national governments. For some years, however, ongoing processes of globalisation are significantly shaping education, leading to what scholars term the global turn in education. Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) have become core actors in this global turnaround. They are increasingly joining forces in education-related transnational networks (i.e. global non-governmental spaces) that express an obvious claim to influence schools and education systems worldwide. Hence, questions arise about the associated risks and benefits for schools, particularly with regard to education's role in promoting educational achievement and equal opportunity among students from different backgrounds. However, despite this increasing relevance scholars have neglected to investigate transnational networks of NGOs in the field of education. EmergEd aims to drastically improve scientific knowledge on NGOs in education by analysing the emergence of global non-governmental spaces in education and how they influence education systems and schools – a contribution from which a far-reaching scientific – and in the long run societal – impact is to be expected. It will do so by developing an inter-disciplinary methodology integrating (inferential) Social Network Analysis (SNA) and Discourse Network Analysis (DNA), alongside qualitative data analysis based on Grounded Theory, to contribute to further theory building. This methodology is highly innovative as it draws theories and methods from different disciplines together in novel ways and thus follows an approach at and beyond the frontiers of disciplines.
