Social Geographies of Educational Change
Tungkol sa ebook na ito
By using the notion of Social Geographies in the context of educational change, the authors address the following questions:
How initiatives in a classroom or department are influenced by the surrounding context of the school, the district or the nation;
How innovation spreads or diffuses from one school to another;
How and whether reforms can be scaled up from a few schools to a whole system;
How seemingly standardised reforms affect schools differently depending on where they are located;
How schools influence one another;
How the identities of, and interrelationships among, schools are affected by technology, principles of market competition and choice, and other initiatives.
This volume is relevant to educationalists, policy-makers, teachers, and students interested in a more complex approach to understand and intervene in educational change processes.
