 Revista Lusófona de Educação, 11, 2008Revista Lusófona de Educação204Constructing Europe through Constructing a European Education SpaceRoger DaleThis paper considers the relationship betwe-en the construction of  a European educa-tion space and the construction of ‘Europe’ as an entity. It argues that the construction of ‘Europe’ as an entity is at least as impor-tant an aim of the attempts to construct a European education policy as its effects on Member States’ education policies. It focu-ses particularly on both the external and internal contexts of this construction. The external context is seen as comprising chan-ges in the political economic context, in the ‘architecture of education systems,  in their mandates and capacities, and in the ways that their contributions are appraised. The internal context comprises the mechanisms of soft governance through which the Eu-ropean education space was brought into being. The paper suggests that it is possible to identify three stages of this construction, respectively, establishing ‘quality’, soft gover-nance (the Open Method of Coordination), and the Lifelong Learning agenda,  which are shaped by changes in global contexts and their interpretations at the European level.Keywords: European education space; soft gover-nance; architecture of education systems; lifelong learning; ‘quality’ education; mechanismsRestructuring a Nordic Model in EducationAri AntikainenThis article discusses the Nordic model or pattern of welfare state and education. It shows how restructuring processes are going at policy level and institutional level. Still the basic structures of the Nordic mo-del or pattern, especially the principles of comprehensive schools and local schools, are left. By the institutional approach, a new path generation or institutional pattern is emerging, but its legitimization and esta-blishment will take a long time. Changes in policy and organization are much faster than in sociocultural settings. Such success sto-ries like the Danish labour market reform and the rise of the Finnish knowledge inten-sive ICT cluster have paved the way for this transformation. There is still a possibility that a welfare-state strategy and a compe-tition-state strategy will coexist.Keywords: Education; Welfare State; Workfare State; Nordic modelMarket, performance, accountability. Two decades of reactionary rhetoric in educationRomuald NormandPerformance and efficiency stand as priori-ties in present educational politics. Which were the reasons that led them to be the paradigm of educatinal systems replacing the comprehensive education? The follo-wing paper aims at rebuild and question the fundamental thesis that contributed to the evidence of a generalized crisis in the com-prehensive education and the appearance of the model of efficient school, capable of taking part in a concurrent and global ma-rket, framed by a reactionary rhethoric, ins-talled in USA and in the United Kingdom in the past twenty years, and developping at a global scale. It is also the aim of this paper to reflect over the role of the sociologists in education in the understanding of the in-teraction among various educational agents at a global scale and the new implications of capitalism in educational politics.  Keywords: Market; performance; accountability; school effectiveness; neo-conservative agenda.Continuous Progression:  Why the revision of the Learning Cycles?Maria Lucia M. Carvalho Vasconcelos The present article aims to register and clarify the reducing of the period of the continuous progression cycles in São Paulo State public schools. Since 1997, the Educa-tion Secretary had adopted the rule of four-year cycles for the elementary schools. In Revista Lusófona de EducaçãoAbstractsRevista Lusófona de Educação2052007, these cycles were reduced and this alteration is the purpose of our discussion. Keywords: Continuous progression; Learning assessment; Cycle Recovering From the initial bond to the building of citizenship: a appeal to a welcoming schoolÓscar C. SousaThe article calls for a therapeutic attitude with respect to children with behavioral deviance, to be expressed by welcoming, in all areas of the community—namely, inside the school, an institution with an educatio-nal mission.  One must recall that deviance can be the expression of an earlier disequi-librium of a socio-affective nature that can only be balanced by a positive experience of security and trust, involving shared rights and responsibilities.Keywords: Bonding; comfort; security; autonomy; abandonment; rebellion.Case studies in education. Investiga-tion in depth with scanty resources and other way of generalizationJosé B. DuarteInvestigators with scarce resources and even alone, but challenging their research qua-lities, they can give a serious contribution for the investigation, through a case study, in alternative to studies of vaster perspecti-ve but demanding more resources in mate-rial and in persons. And that study obviou-sly can be continued later on with future works of the own or of other investigators. The following reflection is based on several authors with major incidence in works of Stake (1995; 1998) and Yin (1994; 2005), it tries to delineate the procedures to use in the adoption of the case study in education problems and it includes, in complement, the key-ideas of some case studies about educa-tion inventoried by Yin (2005).Keywords: Case study; investigation in depth; gener-alization; vicarious experience.‘As intermitências da morte’: debate concerning the right to lusophone literature in the youngers and adults’ literacy process.Nilce da Silva (and others)The article discusses the right to lusophone literature – Saramago, as example - in the process of teacher’ s formation and inside of adults’ literacy through formation resear-ch process at São Paulo city.
