Recepción y puesta en acto de la reforma de la escuela secundaria obligatoria. Aportes de Stephen Ball para estudiar las políticas educativas en escuelas de la provincia de Santa Cruz, Argentina

摘要

This paper presents key progress in a research based in Stephen Ball’s work, specifically the contributions that relate to policy trajectories analysis or the Policy Cycle approach. Specifically, we focus in the enactment context, in which the reform policies of compulsory secondary education are received and enacted in two public secondary schools, located in the city of Caleta Olivia, Santa Cruz. We develop three analytical dimensions, seeking to understand how subjects experience educational reform policies in secondary education. These dimensions are: 1. The abrupt character of the reform; 2. Reform’s institutional communication 3. Rhetoric of participation and commitment in times of hyper bureaucracy and management. This paper highlights some of Ball’s major contributions to research the educational policy enactment process in "real schools" of Argentina.
