Research on Contentions of Policy Ideas and Transformation of Governance Styles in the Federal Education Policy in the U.S.A.

本研究旨在厘清自1960年代以来，不同政治理念在联邦教育政策治理改革中的论争过程。 部分研究成果如下：1）在自由派和保守派之间的对立中，温和派推动了基于标准的治理改革，2）通过重新授权1965年的《中小学教育法》，保障教育平等的理念作为政策目标被继承下来，3）因此，颁布了《不让一个孩子掉队法》，要求对结果严格负责，甚至得到了民权组织的支持。

The purpose of this study is to clarify the process of contentions of different political ideas in relation to governance reforms in federal education policies since the 1960s. Some research results are as follows: 1) among antagonisms between liberals and conservatives, moderates promoted standard-based governance reforms, 2) the idea of guaranteeing equality of education has been inherited as a policy goal through the reauthorizations of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, and 3) therefore, the enactment of the No Child Left Behind Act, which demanded strict accountability for results, was supported even by civil rights groups.
