  • Student Voice: an Emerging Discourse in Irish Education Policy
    International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2015, 8(2), 223-242. Student Voice: An Emerging Discourse in Irish Education Policy Domnall FLEMING The Weir Centre, Ireland Abstract In positioning student voice within the Irish education policy discourse it is imperative that this emergent and complex concept is explored and theorized in the context of its definition and motivation. Student voice can then be positioned and critiqued as it emerged within Irish education policy primarily following Ireland’s ratification of the United Nations Charter on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in 1992. Initially emerging in policy from a rights-based and democratic citizenship perspective, the student council became the principal construct for student voice in Irish post- primary schools. While central to the policy discourse, the student council construct has become tokenistic and redundant in practice. School evaluation policy, both external and internal, became a further catalyst for student voice in Ireland. Both processes further challenge and contest the motivation for student voice and point to the concept as an instrument for school improvement and performativity that lacks any centrality for a person-centered, rights-based, dialogic and consultative student voice within an inclusive classroom and school culture. Keywords: Student voice, Student council, Evaluation, Performativity, Citizenship. Student voice: Definition, Theorised, Motivation, Contested Definition Student voice as an emergent and complex concept refers to students in dialogue, discussion and consultation on issues that concern them in relation to their education, but in particular, in relation to pedagogy and their experiences of schooling whether as a student cohort, individual class groups or within a forum construct like a student council (Fleming, 2013).

  • Chilean Student Movements: Sustained Struggle to Transform a Market-Oriented Educational System
    Chilean Student Movements: Sustained Struggle to Transform a Market-oriented Educational System Cristián Bellei Cristian Cabalin University of Chile University of Chile During the last decade, Chilean society was shaken by sharply critical and powerful student movements: secondary students led the 2006 “Penguin Revolution” and university students led the 2011 “Chilean Winter.” This article describes and analyzes these student movements to illustrate how students can be highly relevant political actors in the educational debate. First, we explain the main features of the Chilean educational system, including its extreme degree of marketization, which provided the institutional context of the movements. Next, we analyze the key components and characteristics of the 2006 and 2011 student movements to describe basic features of the two movements and identify common elements of these movements, especially from an education policy perspective. We mainly focus on the link between students’ demands and discourses and the market-oriented institutions that prevail in Chilean education. Finally, we identify students’ impact on educational debates in Chile and examine general implications for policy-making processes in the educational arena. Introduction: Youth Apathy to Activism One of the most important changes in the Chilean political system in recent decades was the establishment of automatic registration and voluntary voting in 2012. A political objective of this project was to increase youth participation in elections, which has been low since democracy was restored in 1990. Indeed, the lack of political participation in elections among youth was explained during the 1990s as an expression of general apathetic behavior. These young people were considered “the ‘whatever’ generation” (La generación “No estoy ni ahí”) due to their supposed apolitical attitudes and limited motivation to be involved in public affairs (Muñoz Tamayo, 2011; Moulián, 2002).
