Contribution
My argument, which is based on two current research projects [Fabricating Quality in Europe and the idea of a 'Scottish School of Educational Research 1925-1950], is concerned with the rise of data and the decline of judgment in managing education.
The argument will begin with a comparison between the American and English systems of education and they way they were researched and evaluated through most of the 20thC. In particular, the contrast between the American movement in the early 20thC [repeated in the 60s] to collect quantitative and survey data about schooling
and the emphasis on judgment and inspection [and not data] in England in the same period.
The second part of the argument will be about the shift from judgment to data in England and Europe, gradually with the postwar rise of world organizations - IEA and OECD – acting on education, and in particular via US influence in the 1990s.
