| Summary: | This paper is addressed to research beginners in the field of educational policies and aims to present and discuss some ideas and contributions of the English sociologist and researcher Stephen J. Ball on the subject of public policy implementation. It is divided into three complementary parts: the first one addresses the author’s main themes of interest throughout his trajectory of studies and research through a synopsis of his main works; the second discusses Ball's contributions to the theme of policy implementation from the concept of policy enactment. Taking as reference his major intellectual influencers, the third and last part explores Stephen Ball's theoretic and methodological "toolbox" and the implications of his epistemological positioning for the education policy implementation research work. |
