Description:When we hear the word "globalization," many of us think about the expansion of businesses and production across the world. As this book shows, globalization is also changing the shape of education. This book highlights some different forms of globalization - in particular changes that appear as school reforms, changes in public policy on education and the rise of new forms of civil society. The chapters take up questions about how the local, familiar experience of schooling has been mapped onto the globalizing processes of markets, technology and capital accumulation. Historically, education has been a local responsibility. Education also has a history of being a "contested terrain." Parents may feel that it is their right to decide what happens in their local school. But not all parents agree on what constitutes the proper activities of the school. Teachers and school administrators may also hold localized views of their schools as they strive to implement board policy and draw on their own expert knowledge about how to meet the learning needs of the students in their care. Yet, disagreements between and among teachers and administrators about what are the best practices are not uncommon. In those few schools where there is little disagreement about educational directions, localized perspectives are often predicated on homogeneity within the school community and a set of shared values. Even in this situation, however, the views of parents, teachers and school administrators are often in tension with the democratic notion that the education of future citizens is the responsibility of all citizens. Education today brings those endemic local tensions into the larger global arena. The promise of schooling for all children is becoming a reality across the developed and developing world. Educational theories about teaching and learning are brought to this global stage at the same time as state investment in education is declining in most countries and schools are more fully aligned with a global market economy. In this book, both local and global perspectives on schooling are held up for scrutiny. The reader is asked to consider interactions between global and local trends. Readers are also asked to take into account the situated knowledge of those who take part in educational debates concerning equity and globalization.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
