Educational imaginaries : governance at the intersection of technology and education

• This article argues that sociotechnical imaginaries, defined as collectively held, institutionally stabilized, and publicly performedvisions of desirable sociotechnical futures, are significantly connectedto visions, policies, and projects of educating citizens. These visions, policies, and projects – or educational imaginaries –constitute ways to problematize, negotiate and ultimately governcitizens and citizenship at the intersection between technology andeducation. This article presents a model which conceptualizes andanalyzes educational imaginaries, and specifically introduces thenotion (and method) of ‘problematizations’ into these imaginaries. The model, consisting of four key components – technology, problematizations, collective actors, and target populations – is exemplified through a genealogy of the education of the ‘digitalized citizen’.
