Neoliberal reforms, knowledge and the sociology of education: What concept of knowledge is behind neoliberal education reforms, and what are the organizational principles underlying this type of knowledge?

Summary/Abstract: The current neoliberal reforms have given school a new content, with strong emphasis on skills and competencies, which the knowledge society allegedly requires. The sociology of education is poorly equipped to meet this development. To examine the content of neoliberal education reforms and their further effects, the paper calls for, in line with Bernstein, a new theory of knowledge in education. This paper is based on social realism and Maton's Legitimate Code Theory, claiming that the forms knowledge takes will be crucial for students’ opportunities to build cumulative and context-exceeding knowledge inside and outside education. Providing examples from neoliberal education reforms in Norway and Australia, this paper demonstrates how specialized knowledge is being pushed out of education.
