Abstract/Notes: A key goal of school choice policies is to generate competition between schools, which should theoretically drive school leaders to improve their programs to attract and retain students. However, few studies examine how principals actually perceive and define competition. This article empirically examines school leaders’ conceptions of competition and their strategic behaviors using cognitive frameworks from new institutional theory, including sensemaking theory. Drawing on data from qualitative interviews with 30 charter school leaders in Arizona, we explore how leaders’ cognitive understandings of competition influence their actions in an educational “marketplace.” We find charter school leaders make meaning of “competition” in different ways, influenced by their local contexts and their conceptions of what actions are legitimate. Our work suggests that it is important to study the meanings of competition to school leaders, as it has important implications for schools’ competitive responses and, ultimately, student outcomes. Our work has important implications for policy makers seeking to expand school choice as it sheds light on how competition works in practice, with implications for equity and access.

Abstract/Notes: In Australia, the term ‘preschool’ generally refers to settings that cater for the education of children in the year before compulsory schooling, hence making it a pivotal site for neoliberal discourses that seek to frame preschoolers as requiring ‘school readiness’. While much research has focused on the implications of neoliberal reforms in the primary through tertiary and childcare sectors, particularly the divisive social consequences of these shifts, insufficient attention has been paid to the ‘neoliberal creep’ – to co-opt Viggiano’s term – into the lives of Australian children and their parents/caregivers.1 This paper draws on a combination of discursive, affective and semiotic analysis to investigate how neoliberal discourses work through advertising regimes to influence parental choice in the current preschool market. Through the analysis of six Montessori preschool websites, the article highlights how, through the targeted manipulation of visual and linguistic elements, marketing experts create and reinforce idealised constructions of children, which in turn, contribute to the establishment of specific discursive and affective environments. This results in a sort of ‘emotional governance’ which directly influences the relationships between marketisation, discursive subjectivities, and the classed and gendered implications of parental choice in Australia.

Abstract/Notes: Bu çalışma annelere odaklanır ve onların dünyalarına dair derin içgörülere ulaşmayı amaçlar. Bu nedenle araştırma, onların günlük yaşamlarında hâkim piyasa kültürüne nasıl tepki verdiklerini derinlemesine inceleyen bir bakış açısı sunmak üzere tasarlanmıştır. Kuramsal çerçeve olarak Michel de Certeau'nun strateji ve taktik yaklaşımı seçilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye'deki Montessori eğitim yaklaşımının tarihsel arka planı, üç büyük gazete arşivinden yararlanılarak arşiv araştırması ile gazetelerden çıkarılmış ve derinlemesine okuma yoluyla kamuoyu görüşüne ulaşılmıştır. Ardından Montessori yaklaşımı ve ürünleri ile üç başlık altında (eğitim sistemi, Montessori ürünlerinin pazarlanması ve günlük tüketici direnci) İzmirli on anne ile derinlemesine görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Annelerin baskın pazar kültürü içerisinde nerede konumlandığı ve Montessori ürünlerinin yarattığı alanda tüketici direnci uygulamalarını nasıl sergiledikleri hakkında bulgular elde edilmiştir. Buna göre Montessori yaklaşımının işaret ettiği noktada anneler kendi ürünlerini üretirler veya bu ürünleri yakın akrabalarına veya yerel üreticilere yaptırırlar ve tüketim kültürünün dayattığı şeylere karşı tüketim karşıtlığı sergilerler. Araştırma sorumuz açısından çalışma, pazar kültürüne karşı annelerin kendi alanlarını gündelik tüketici direnişi pratikleri vasıtasıyla yaratabildiklerini göstermektedir.
