The Cambridge Primary Review Research Surveys
Meer oor hierdie e-boek
This book brings together the twenty-eight research surveys, specially commissioned from sixty-five leading academics in the areas under scrutiny and now revised and updated, to create what is probably the most comprehensive overview and evaluation of research in primary education yet published. A particular feature is the prominence given to international and comparative perspectives. With an introduction from Robin Alexander, the Review’s director, the book is divided into eight sections, covering:
- children’s lives and voices: school, home and community
- children’s development, learning, diversity and needs
- aims, values and contexts for primary education
- the structure and content of primary education
- outcomes, standards and assessment in primary education
- teaching in primary schools: structures and processes
- teaching in primary schools: training, development and workforce reform
- policy frameworks: governance, funding, reform and quality assurance.
The Cambridge Primary Review Research Surveys is an essential reference tool for professionals, researchers, students and policy-makers working in the fields of early years, primary and secondary education.
