Teachers in a World in Transition

International Perspectives on Education Reform and Teachers' Lived Experiences

220 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The first quarter of the 21st century has witnessed numerous reform efforts related to schooling and education. At the same time, across the world, many education systems are facing unprecedented challenges related to teachers, from rising teacher attrition and burnout to recruitment difficulties-symptoms of a world that is changing and evolving: a world in transition.This book asks: How have teachers' experiences and environments evolved alongside educational reform? How have expectations of teachers changed? and what are the consequences of such change? Through studies spanning ten countries across multiple continents, it examines how societal and political transitions are transforming teachers' daily lives and professional identities. By centering teachers' lived experiences within their national contexts, it reveals striking parallels in global educational transformation despite unique contexts of change. These perspectives, individually and collectively, allow us to understand recent transformations and educational reform efforts, meet teachers impacted by these changes, and see how transitions impact teachers' experience of the profession internationally.Combining original empirical research and comparative analysis, this book offers timely insights for researchers and students interested in international and comparative education, foundations of education, teacher education, education policy, and educational leadership.
