The Future of Educational Change: International Perspectives

Divided into four sections, the book addresses the key themes:

• What has been the impact of educational change?
• How has the impact differed in different circumstances?
• What are the new directions for research on policy and practice?
• How can we link research, policy and practice?

By highlighting critical lessons from the past, the book aims to set an agenda for policy-related research and the future trajectories of educational reforms, while also taking into account the dominant rhetorics of international ‘social movements’ and the ‘refracted’ nature of policy agenda at national and local levels.

This book addresses issues which with many educators around the world are currently grappling. It will appeal to academics and researchers in the field, as well as providing an introduction to key issues and themes in Educational Change for graduates and practitioners.
