Description

In an era where educational outcomes are constantly measured to compare performance across countries, the true purpose of learning often gets lost. This book from Routledge examines how the intense focus on metrics has displaced essential questions regarding what constitutes good education. Biesta explores the consequences of this shift, looking at how the preoccupation with measurement affects the quality of instruction and the ability of society to maintain democratic control over educational systems. By analyzing the relationship between ethics, politics, and democracy, this work provides a deep look into the current state of educational philosophy. This text is an essential read for those interested in how measurement culture impacts the fundamental goals of schooling. It offers a critical perspective on why asking what makes education good has become more difficult and what that means for the future of learning and democratic engagement.
