The World Education Research Association (WERA) is an association
of major national, regional, and international specialty research
associations dedicated to advancing education research as a
scientific and scholarly field. WERA undertakes initiatives that
are global in nature and thus transcend what any one association
can accomplish in its own country, region, or area of
specialization. ______ Reflective of the latest trends in education
research, this inaugural volume of the World Education Research
Yearbook captures the diverse concepts and various arenas of
inquiry that are engaging education researchers across the globe.
Comprised of nine chapters, the 2015 Yearbook brings together some
of the most accomplished and emerging scholars in the field, from a
breadth of universities and research institutions in the United
States, Europe, Australia, Asia, and South America. The Yearbook
opens with the Presidential Address given at the 4th WERA Focal
Meeting by Yin Cheong Cheng, who proposes a new paradigm of
educational reform to address the challenges impressed upon
educators by the increased globalization of the modern world.
Subsequent chapters make vivid the strengths of research with a
broader work view. Chapter contributions shift the discourse
through a global lens, addressing such topics as how international
children's TV can be used to further global health education and
awareness, strategies for remedying low academic achievement among
marginalized social and culture groups, and a new global model
designed to aid countries in developing more effective indicators
of quality education. The 2015 World Education Research Yearbook is
a crucial and long-awaited contribution to the field of education
research. Its relevance extends beyond the borders of any single
country or continent to encompass a worldwide perspective on
educational developments which are of great value to researchers,
educators, and students alike.
Global Perspectives on Education Research echoes the breadth and
scope of education research worldwide. It features the work of
established and emerging scholars from a range of universities and
research institutions in Africa, Europe, and North America. The
book's ten chapters are organized around four themes: Education
Policy, Teaching and Learning, School Context and Student Outcomes,
and Assessment and Measurement. Each chapter offers cross-cultural,
transnational, or comparative insights on some of the most pressing
challenges and promising opportunities for improving education
around the world. Across thematic areas, these perspectives shape
new ways of understanding context as an influence on, and a
framework for, conceptual insights into education policy and
practice at the international, national, and local levels. With
chapters on topics including the cultural complexities of literacy,
the effect of socioeconomic inequality on student learning, and the
tension between education for global competitiveness and education
for global citizenship as national policy strategies, Global
Perspectives on Education Research addresses issues and questions
that will interest education researchers, educators, policy makers,
and societal leaders worldwide. This volume is a publication of the
