“…El no reconocimiento de los actores desde el diseño de la política y, adicional a esto, la no adaptación de las líneas de política a sus intereses o necesidades reales, genera resultados como los que se muestran en esta investigación, y es la dilución de grandes planes en acciones desarticuladas y poco eficaces. Incluir la voz de los actores en los análisis de política proporciona una imagen más completa del proceso, de allí la necesidad de contar con datos cualitativos que permitan profundizar en los actores y sus creencias (Harris, 2007).…”

Avoiding ruptures in educational trajectories due to social problems demands synergic actions between social policy and educational policy. This research gives an account of the elements that affect the articulation between these two policies, based on an instrumental case study that deepens the difficulties in the implementation process of the commitments assigned by the policy of prevention and eradication of child labor to the system educational. For the reconstruction of the case, policy documents of the last two decades were analyzed and 42 actors were consulted at different levels of the education and protection system in Colombia and Bogotá. It is found that the knowledge and interpretation of child labor, the articulation between the different levels of the educational system, and the technical and operational capacity of the actors that must implement the actions established by the policy of prevention and eradication of child labor inside the educational institutions, are indispensable factors to respond in a pertinent way to the reality of working students.

“…In North Carolina, policy makers implemented decentralized tuition policies that allowed institutions to set college prices based on campus mission and values (Harris, 2007). An intention of the policy was to help students make a more informed decision about the college that they decided to attend by evaluating costs and purpose at the same time.…”

An Analysis of the Hanson-Liethen Sliding Scale Cost Recovery Model for College Tuition: A Case Study

Public colleges and universities rely increasingly on tuition to subsidize their operations, and how they price their tuition is important for many reasons, including who can access higher education, the financial stability of the institution, what labor costs can be paid, etc. In the early-1970"s, two scholars created a sliding scale for tuition pricing based on the assumption of state-citizenship. As costs have risen in higher education and public subsidies have not grown, there is a need to reconsider some of these tuition pricing models and to examine their potential to secure the financial stability of public higher education. Through an analysis of tax-related and tuition pricing data, the current analysis identified that the Hanson-Liethen sliding scale model does have several distinct advantages over the incremental-based tuition pricing at one case study institution, but that the model did not return significantly more money to the institution, thus, not providing a strong rationale for the model"s adoption at the case study institution.

“…Even with the growth of the literature, research on the influence of institutional culture on the results of policy implementation has not been growing steadily and continuously (Harris, 2007). Harris (2007) studied a tuition decentralization policy implemented in North Carolina and found that institutional values and culture influence how policy implementation is enacted. This is significant to understanding what was at stake in the China textbook adoption.…”

“…The top-down model refers to a policy decision that is made by a formal authority at a higher level of power and minimizes the power at the level of implementation (Harris, 2007). The bottom-up model refers to the fact that participants at the implementation level were directly and actively involved with creating and carrying out the policy (Harris, 2007). The sociocultural perspective refers to the significant roles that culture plays in an organization and the importance of taking culture into consideration in thinking about policy implementation (e.g., Kezar & Eckel, 2002;Harris, 2007 …”

Although studies have been done in China’s large cities on education policy issues, research is lacking on China’s smaller towns, which are more indicative of the situations throughout China. This article presents lessons learned from studying Chinese English teachers at four different schools that were adopting new English textbooks, in accordance with revised national education policy. Using conflict theory and social action theory as an analytical lens, and combining ethnographic and naturalistic inquiry as research methods, the article reports on the conflicts that the Chinese English teachers confronted as they were adopting the new English textbooks at the classroom level. Analysis of the implementation conflict resulted in lessons learned related to the influence of the traditional cultural and education structures, the impact of policy implementation contexts, and the availability of support systems for teachers. The lessons indicate that future education policymakers in both China and the United States need to be mindful of obstacles that teachers struggle to overcome when implementing new policies.
