This handbook provides windows into worldwide research endeavors,
including countries not usually widely known in international
education studies. The goal of this compendium is to foster the
understanding of research and education from different national and
cultural perspectives, and to support the exchange of ideas and
people who conduct research and development activities. From these
varied individual and collaborative research projects we can infer
directions for our own research agenda and for policy development.
The resulting chapters represent a respectable cross-section of
international research efforts. The total is representative of the
variety of research techniques. Additionally, there are more women
than men contributors, with sufficient representation from Muslim,
Asian and developing country contributors. These seventeen chapters
are an indication of what is occurring in the global educational
marketplace. They represent a sound and current balance of
international studies in education that can be used as models for
development elsewhere. Reading them can motivate researchers
everywhere to maintain a high level of scholarship that will
benefit international and comparative studies and the academic
profession.
