With the aim of extending empirical coverage of protest movements in non-English speaking countries, this study examines a Norwegian parental movement called Foreldreopprør i Osloskolen (FiO)(in English: Parental Uprising in the Oslo School) . We draw on exploratory research based on in-depth interviews with initiators and members of FiO (n=8), as well as documentary and press analysis and an examination of social media sites. The analysis sheds light on the emergence and nature of the movement, parents’ main motivations and discourses, as well as the movements’ collective action strategies and main successes. The findings highlight how rather than opting-out their children from standardised tests, some Norwegian parents chose to opt-out their children from public schools, while continuing their fight for whole-child approaches in public education.  \nKeywords: social movements; parents; standardised testing; management by objectivesand results; educational governance; Norway  \nLa batalla por los enfoques integrales: Examinando las motivaciones, estrategias y éxitos de un movimiento de resistencia parental contra un régimen basado en el rendimiento académico en un sistema escolar local noruego  \nResumen: En diferentes partes del mundo han surgido movimientos sociales liderados por padres y madres, docentes y organizaciones profesionales que se resisten a laestandarización educativa y al uso de pruebas estandarizadas (con altas consecuencias), y que presionan por el cambio educativo.

Nos basamos en una investigación exploratoria basada en entrevistas en profundidad con los promotores y los miembros del movimiento FiO (n=8), así como en el análisis de documentos y de prensa yen la exploración de sus redes sociales. El análisis arroja luz sobre el surgimiento y la naturaleza del movimiento, las principales motivaciones y discursos de los padres ymadres, así como las estrategias de acción colectiva del movimiento y sus principales éxitos.
