  This article addresses how elementary school teachers approach Bildung when planning and monitoring the in-school- and at-home work of 6- and 9-year-old pupils. By examining a national sample of 204 weekly work plans designed by teachers in Norwegian schools, we investigate whether and how curriculum practices acknowledge principles of Bildung by opening up multiple futures through encouraging pupils to engage in meaning-making processes. To identify how work plans structure pupils’ schoolwork, we adopt a system-theoretical framework that distinguishes between conditional and purposive programme forms. The most interesting finding is that a substantial number of the investigated teachers use a purposive programme form. Through specifying objectives and assessment criteria, the teachers expect that pupils will develop and master a set of competencies. Some teachers apply a conditional form by devising work plans that emphasize subject matter content, but most of the work plans combine the two programme forms. By developing a typology of the various combinations, we find that, in addition to the pure conditional approach, a combined approach that provides objectives alongside broad descriptions of teaching content best reflects the principles of Bildung by promoting creative, dialogic interaction between teachers, pupils and parents.

  This article examines how three national curricula for basic education in Finland reflect transnational policy perspectives from 1994 to the present. By developing a conceptual apparatus for curriculum analysis, we examine how national curricula in Finland can be interpreted as modifications of transnational policy transfers shaped by international comparisons in today’s society. Transnational policy has been the subject of numerous studies, but ongoing curriculum modifications of policy transfers across reform periods have rarely been examined. Using a systems theory approach, we seek to understand how curriculum revisions are designed as combinations of conditional and purposive orientations. The most important contributions of this paper lie in its use of a mixture of these orientations, and its demonstration of the particular functions that these orientations play in both facilitating and constricting transnational policy transfer as evidenced by our analytical apparatus. Keywords: Curriculum, transnational policy, education reform, policy transfer.

  FNs bærekraftsmål om «God utdanning» fremmer verdier og rettigheter for befolkninger over hele verden. Målet tematiserer forventninger om å gi alle barn og unge en gratis og likeverdig grunnskole og videregående opplæring av høy kvalitet. En slik utdanning forutsetter offentlige læreplaner som beskriver hva som er skolens innhold og oppgaver. Sammenliknende læreplanstudier undersøker hvordan læreplaner utformes i lys av globale nøkkelproblemer. Dermed kan fagfeltet vise til eksempler på hvordan myndigheter forholder seg til slike problemer. Men kanskje viktigere er betydningen av å forske på likheter og forskjeller mellom læreplaner fra ulike regioner og land. Slike sammenlikninger bidrar til å se betydningen institusjonelle betingelser for å drive skole som ivaretar nasjonale og lokale variasjoner i en globalisert verden.

  This paper provides an overview of governing structures in Norwegian education, which are important to understand current inspection devices and practices. The overall problem of analysis is how modernizing trajectories in the national school inspection system are changing along with new methodologies of policy. In Norway, school inspection has for many decades been conducted in terms of advicement, organized by national authorities to support municipalities and schools in their effort of structuring and developing their educative programs and activities. Historically, this practice has been highly regulated but at the same time decentralised, motivated by municipalities’ need for guidance to assure that education is in accordance with the overall legislation (Sivesind, 2008). Today this institutional practice is reorganized; new tools and methods are introduced, like school auditing and self-evaluation. In the first part of the paper we describe differences between tools and methodologies applied in current systems for school inspection, like auditing, monitoring, supervision and advicement. Thereafter we discuss implications of introducing school auditing within the Norwegian context. Drawing on Pollit and Bouckaert (2004), we examine differences between compliance-oriented audit, which is heavily legalistic, and performance-audit which focuses on observed outcomes.These two forms of auditing is not contradictory but correspond to opposite accounts of trajectories. A related problem, discussed in the last part of the paper, is how different froms of inspection conceptualise norms through applied methodologies; wether inspection focus on norms as devices for action and/or norms as descriptive standards, detailing civil and individual rights. The paper concludes on how justification of legal norms depends on applied tools and methodologies in national school inspection, reflecting modernizing trajectories within a European policy context (Ozga, 2011).

  The paper examines how legal, professional, social and scientific norms are justified and applied within guidelines for school inspection in Norway. The paper takes Max Weber's idealtype of the bureaucracy into regard and shows how the combination and conflict of norms appears as a consequence of paralell and changing mindsets within the state administration towards old and new forms of governing.
