This book covers the seven-year project involving China, Germany,
Japan, Singapore, Switzerland, and the US, to show how
collaborative research can help expand worldwide knowledge of
education.
Noel McGinn designed and participated in a unique comparative
international education research project, the Six Nation Education
Research Project, a seven-year effort involving China, Germany,
Japan, Singapore, Switzerland, and the US, to show how
collaborative research can help expand worldwide knowledge of
education. This book examines the effects of the different
comparative educational research conducted. The research involved
cross-cultural comparison on a variety of topics, including
language instruction, educational indicators (testing results),
reform of higher education management, secondary vocational
education, and determinations of school effectiveness.
However important the school may be as a vehicle to
institutionalize and perpetuate democracy, it has been ignored by
contemporary scholars of democratization in developing and former
socialist countries. This book maps out directions for comparative
inquiry on the role of education in democratization and transitions
from centralized authority.
