Book Description

The Wiley Handbook of Global Educational Reform (PDF) examines educational reform from a global perspective. Comprised of approximately 25 original and specially commissioned essays; which together interrogate educational reform from a critical global and transnational perspective; this volume explores a range of topics and themes that fully investigate global convergences in educational reform policies; ideologies; and practices.

The Handbook of Global Educational Reform probes the ideology; history; organization; and institutional foundations of global educational reform movements; institutions; actors; and agendas; and national; local; and global education reform trends. It further examines the “new managerialism” in global educational reform; including the standardization of national systems of educational governance; teaching; curriculum; and learning through the rise of new systems of privatization; audit; big-data; accountability; biometrics; learning analytics; and new technology-driven adaptive learning models. Finally; it takes on the subjective and intersubjective experiential dimensions of the new educational reforms and alternative paths for educational reform tied to the ethical imperative to reimagine education for human flourishing; justice; and equality.
