International perspectives on educational change

(English) This well-grounded book discusses educational change in schools, communities and research’s contribution to informed policy making.

Written by the leading educational researchers around the world, this international miscellany provides a diversified review of the educational change and its’ implementation research. It depicts lessons learned from past school reforms and community organizing for change, thereby pointing out the critical factors for success under diverging circumstances.
The book’s concern is to bridge the existing gap between research findings on educational change and the actual policy making process in order to fully unleash all potentials of the knowledge society. The concluding chapter focuses on teachers as those learning to lead the change at the forefront.
All readers with academic interest in the topic as well as policy makers and practitioners in the field of educational reform will find sound impulses for their work in this basal book.
