The title of Assistant Professor Hayashi’s winning presentation is “An Analysis of the Global Education Policy Market -Its Rise and Impact.”
Developments in research on comparative education and assessment techniques are giving rise to attempts among countries worldwide to export their own educational systems overseas.
In this research, in order to clarify the situation of an education policy market that transcends national borders, Assistant Professor Hayashi conducted interviews at national educational research institutes in countries including Australia, the Netherlands, Germany, Singapore, and examined the characteristics of “education exporting countries” and “education importing countries.” As a result, he discovered that what is taking place is a set of circumstances as “educational hegemony,” which is due to research on comparative education and the results of assessments becoming combined with market mechanism.
