Comparative discourse analysis of educational texts

Summary/Abstract: The article studies ideologies dominant at the macro level in society by means of discourses present in educational texts at the micro level. Education policy discourses in major Estonian, Slovenian and Finnish educational texts are compared both in curricula and education legislation, in order to understand their role in the socio-political context in reproducing and legitimising the leading ideology. The article seeks to find out to what relative extent the social democratic, liberal and conservative discourses are represented, what kind of similarities and differences as well as changes can be detected in different societies, and how discourses have changed over time. The results are compared to those reached by various analyses of educational discourses.
