Comparative Education Exploring Issues in International Context

"Comparative Education "invites readers to consider theory in comparative education, purposes of schooling, educational access and opportunity, education accountability and authority, teacher professionalism, and how globalization is impacting education. Taking an issues-based approach, it addresses current educational concerns both at home and abroad, and includes analytic frameworks that foster critical thinking and reinforce a systematic method for examination. Biographical sketches add human interest and side-by-side comparisons explore various countries' demographic attributes, geophysical and economic realities, and socio political factors. Because the book focuses on issues instead of countries, it reinforces how and why comparative education is relevant for educators in today's global society.Kubow, Patricia K. is the author of 'Comparative Education Exploring Issues in International Context', published 2007 under ISBN 9780131719804 and ISBN 0131719807.
