Analyzing educational landscapes - the fundamental values,
principles and institutions of the sector - is a highly complex and
demanding task for any researcher. Like shifting desert sands,
these aspects of education are in a constant state of flux,
changing according to the unpredictable economic, social, cultural
and geo-political circumstances of late modernity. Key aspects of
the intricate, fluid and multifarious contemporary setting can
always escape the researcher's necessarily selective observation.
The contributors to this book share the view that it is wise,
therefore, to take note of other people's ideas, perceptions and
perspectives, to compare notes and reflect critically on them. Thus
the papers presented here are a critical and comparative analysis
of today's changing educational landscapes. They are an exploration
of some of the forces and factors that induce these changes, and
also examine some of their most significant implications. The work
takes a fresh look at received ideology and institutional practices
and delineates the increasingly internationalized educational
discourses and policies. Among other things, the book discusses the
obsession with quality in education and the alternative perceptions
of educational equality; the rising concern at the obstacles to
truly multicultural education, and the debate about the
epistemological foundations both of knowledge and knowledge
production. Underlying all of the papers in the book is the
authors' intention to enhance our understanding of educational
change in this era of transition and to further our appreciation of
its multifaceted expressions across the world.
