Die Ergebnisse machen unterschiedliche theoretische, forschungsstrategische und methodologische Zugänge sichtbar und ermöglichen die Entwicklung von Perspektiven der Systemsteuerung im Schulwesen.

Während sich die Forschungsinhalte des Educational Governance-Ansatzes zunehmend präzisieren lassen, ergibt die Diskussion über forschungsmethodische Ansätze noch ein unklares Bild. Damit lassen sich Herausforderungen verschiedener Forschungsstrategien besser verstehen und Anforderungen an zukünftige Untersuchungen skizzieren.

In dem Band werden die Entstehungsbedingungen, Ziele, Umsetzungsstrategien und Veränderungen schulischer Arbeit durch die Einführung von Bildungsstandards, standardbezogenen Tests und deren Ergebnisrückmeldung im Schulsystem analysiert.

Das Buch diskutiert aktuelle, politisch initiierte Veränderungen von (professioneller) Arbeit in den Feldern Bildung und Pflege mit dem Ziel, institutionellen Wandel auch unter den Gesichtspunkten von Legitimität und Gerechtigkeit zu erfassen.
