A volume in International Perspectives on Educational Policy, Research, and Practice

This Handbook is a comprehensive reference book for libraries, scholars, and comparative and
international studies researchers. It contains 33 chapters on all major educational topics, including
research using all qualitative and quantitative methodologies, with research from 23 countries and all
inhabited continents. Here you as a scholar will find research from countries not usually known for published educational schooling
topics. The globalization of educational research has not typically kept pace with the globalization of economies or communication
technologies. This Handbook includes expanded research capabilities from both developed and less developed countries
throughout the world.
