- W2412594695 abstract "This research develops a form of critical discourse analysis (CDA) to examine Singapore’s Ministry of Education (MOE) policies on streaming. The contributions of this thesis are advanced primarily through the interface between theoretical concepts and methodological principles in interpreting empirical material. The thesis draws on a theoretical framing from Foucault augmented by Nietzsche’s views on valuation to develop a multi-level CDA framework for policy analysis and to make analytically observable how changes associated with new modes of value determination serve to legitimise educational inequality within a meritocratic education system. The analysis develops in two stages. The first stage examines the original 1979 MOE report that proposed a streaming policy for Singapore. Foucault’s archaeological method is used in combination with an amalgamation of CDA approaches to investigate how policy works to recognise, define, and classify learners through binary categorisations. This methodology critically examines the ‘regime of truth’ that makes possible capability-based identity constructs. This approach is then developed in the subsequent genealogical stage of the research, which traces the historical and discursive construction of learner identities in policy texts from 1979 to 2012 and how they are constituted in various moral discourses. The second stage builds on the methodological and theoretical work of the first to formulate and employ a micro-meso-macro CDA framework to examine metaphors and the value of truth in policy texts. This framework draws upon a relationship between language analysis, the philosophical study of valuation, and political economy to analyse how changes associated with new modes of value determination serve to legitimise inequality within a frame of meritocracy. The analysis illustrates the interaction and interdependent relationship between the recursive metaphors of flexibility, diversity, and choice, as engines of neo-liberal discourse. These metaphors operate as a fluid movement in and through the texts to provide the necessary foundation from which to hold unequal structural reforms as a justifiable, desirable form of ethical practice. The analysis concludes that objectification is a fundamental part of the valorization process. Forms of objectification through identity categorisation increase the relative value of subjects through upskilling and modes of valuation within the perceived demands arising from the living movement and changing material conditions of surrealistic political economies." @default.
