Global Issues and Comparative Education

Very useful for 3rd yr undergraduate students approaching international perspectives for the first time.

This is a useful text, but would consider the first three chapters most relevant to the unit I am teaching, in which most students are early years professionals. The exercises also seem helpful.

This is a nice introductory read into global educational issues. There are some inspiring and though provoking critical thinking tasks ideal for seminar sessions. I personally have used these to engage undergraduate students in higher level thinking and reasoning. They have prompted interesting and conflicting points of view which otherwise might not have been explored.

Global Issues and Comparative Education provides an interesting text for undergraduate students, studying education from an international perspective.

Good Book very useful

This book underpinned the teaching and learning of our course. As an introduction to global issues and comparative education, it provided relavant and concise areas of study which was very accessible. The critical thinking tasks challenged our student well.

Chapter two- very relevant to modules taught. Chapter seven- relevant to my Health and Social Care teaching for (FE) courses- though too advanced for students. Generally excellent for tutors, not for students at level L44 Fda. More suited to our second and third year BA.

As interest in and experience of international approaches gains momentum this provides an interesting starting point for students to begin and would inform general discussion about the global nature of education and the impact of culture. Some of the readings are becoming a little dated and it would be useful to update this in light of recent and on-going research

An excellent book - well recommended. Easy to read and useful for students to dip in and out of.
