Description
Book SynopsisComparative Education Emergent Trends: The Dialectic of the Global and the Local addresses the changes and multiple new topics that intervene in education vis a vis processes of globalization, social transformation, and the challenges to education. As such, it complements and expands the scope of the 5th edition of Comparative Education. Chapters systematically examine the intersecting global crises in society and education occasioned by COVID-19, across types and levels of education, geographic and linguistic contexts, and fields of theory and practice. Topics addressed include the African ethic Ubuntu, Global Citizenship Education (GCE), UNESCO, STEM, teacher education, low-fee schools, social movements and protest, ecopedagogy, sustainability, media and technology, testing, and economics of education. Furthermore, this book offers some insight in how education systems can contribute to environmental social justice. Various authors, as with those in the 5th edition of Comparative Education, employ social-justice-oriented ways of viewing the global-regional-local dialectics that shape working of education systems with regard to who pays and who benefits from current policy initiatives around the world.
Trade ReviewEmergent Trends: the Dialectic of the Global and the Local provides space for a burst of dynamic new thinking in Comparative Education that further extends the 5th edition of a now classic text in constant renewal. Undergirded by the revolutionary thinking of De Sousa Santos and the World Social Forum, chapters in this volume move from Ubuntu through a rich diversity of theories from the Global South relating to teacher education, sustainability in education, STEM education for girls, social media and many others arenas.
