Neoliberalism, in its political and economic facets, has had a profound effect on development policies in the Third World, owing to the fact that the leading international financial institutions--the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB)- -have generally embraced the view that the role of the state should be minimized in the development process (Adelman, 2001). keywords: culture; development; education; feminist; gender; international; modern; policies; policy; population; women; world cache: cice-11364.pdf plain text: cice-11364.txt item: #81 of 342 id: cice-11365 author: Current Issues in Comparative Education Editorial Board title: Beyond “Gender Sensitization” and “Gender Mainstreaming”: Comparative and International Education towards the Democratic “Re-construction” of Gender date: 2002 words: 2021 flesch: 40 summary: © 2002 Current Issues In Comparative Education Teachers College, Columbia University, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Current Issues In Comparative Education, Vol. 5(1) 3 EDITORIAL INTRODUCTION Beyond Gender Sensitization and Gender Mainstreaming: Comparative and International Education towards the Democratic Re-construction of Gender This issue of CICE is devoted to furthering our understanding of the complex ways in which gender relations are constructed and maintained within educational settings and of the implications of gender discourses produced within these contexts, or in relation to education, for reconstructing a more truly democratic gender order (Connell, 1987). Both Boldt and Ginsberg reconfirm that what we need in order to promote gender equity is much more than those adults who are highly aware of gender issues, calling for students' active participation in the democratic re- construction of gender. keywords: agency; boldt; education; gender; girls; women cache: cice-11365.pdf plain text: cice-11365.txt item: #82 of 342 id: cice-11366 author: Kim, Joyce title: Practical Challenges to NLS (Response to “What’s ‘New’ in New Literacy Studies”) date: 2003 words: 1422 flesch: 51 summary: As fascinating as these recent developments are, perhaps there should be an analytic framework of some kind of mapping, a typology if you will, of these conceptual apparatuses concerning different but related issues stemming from literacy practices such as: multilingualism, biliteracy, social theory, text/power/identity, and discourse.

My own work, for instance, begins with the notion of multiple literacies, which makes a distinction between autonomous and ideological models of literacy (Street, 1985) and develops a distinction between literacy events and literacy practices (Street, 1988). keywords: contexts; education; literacies; literacy; local; new; nls; practice; research; social; street; studies; theory cache: cice-11369.pdf plain text: cice-11369.txt item: #86 of 342 id: cice-11370 author: Luykx, Aurolyn title: Whose Language Is It Anyway?

Conclusions The last few decades have made abundantly clear that language planning is not an exact science; language policies have effects both on language ideologies and language use, but not always the desired effects. keywords: aymara; bolivian; education; ideologies; language; new; planners; planning; policies; quechua; speakers; standard cache: cice-11370.pdf plain text: cice-11370.txt item: #87 of 342 id: cice-11371 author: Ingulsrud, John; Allen, Kate title: First Steps to Literacy in Chinese Classrooms date: 2003 words: 6261 flesch: 62 summary: Consequently, in the design of the cover of Learning to read in China: Sociolinguistic perspectives on the acquisition of literacy (Ingulsrud & Allen, 1999), we added English as part of the total literacy package for Chinese children: The additional burden of learning to speak the standard language, particularly for children who do not speak the standard at home, puts many Chinese children in a similar position to children in post-colonial societies who attend school conducted in the medium of a foreign language. keywords: allen; characters; children; china; chinese; education; language; learning; literacy; putonghua; school; teacher cache: cice-11371.pdf plain text: cice-11371.txt item: #88 of 342 id: cice-11372 author: Bartlett, Lesley title: Social Studies of Literacy and Comparative Education date: 2003 words: 3953 flesch: 45 summary: Literacy studies and comparative education The fields of literacy studies and comparative education have some things in common.

That type of institutional evaluation policy can be said to have silenced multiculturally-oriented perspectives in favor of homogenized, centralized and product-oriented evaluation processes under the guise of objectivity and accountability. keywords: approach; building; canen; cultural; education; evaluation; knowledge; technology cache: cice-11374.pdf plain text: cice-11374.txt item: #91 of 342 id: cice-11375 author: Foley, Alan title: Distance, Disability, and the Commodification of Education: Web Accessibility and the Construction of Knowledge date: 2003 words: 6151 flesch: 37 summary: As part of this analysis, distance education technology and web accessibility standards are discussed and the notion of marketizing disability is explored within the context of shifts toward online instruction.

As the global and national discussions of education development slowly move away from the question of how to get more children into traditional classrooms towards how to enable more children (and adults) to achieve agreed upon learning outcomes, the face of educational initiatives has been remaking itself. keywords: communities; community; decentralization; development; east; ecb; education; initiatives; ngo; nonformal; school; women cache: cice-11380.pdf plain text: cice-11380.txt item: #97 of 342 id: cice-11381 author: Lewis, Suzanne Grant; Naidoo, Jordan title: Whose Theory of Participation?

While communities may initially dislike or be suspicious of participatory development, it is not inconceivable that, gradually, they develop an interest in participation: NGO or government officials may find it helps monitor the community; husbands/fathers may use it to keep a tab on their wives/children; elites may see in it an opportunity for keeping dissent in check; and everyone may enjoy it for its production of gossip and rumor about friends and neighbors. keywords: consensus; development; participation; participatory; power; world cache: cice-11383.pdf plain text: cice-11383.txt item: #100 of 342 id: cice-11384 author: Current Issues in Comparative Education Editorial Board title: Participatory Development: A Promise Revisited date: 2004 words: 311 flesch: 29 summary: As diverse answers to the questions above are brought to the fore, it is critical that we continue to look more closely at the theories and methods related to participatory development and question its more common assumptions.

As with social justice activism, social entrepreneurship sees itself as “critical to solving current social problems in an increasingly globalized world” (Grenier, 2003, ¶2). keywords: activism; article; education; entrepreneurship; issues; justice; malawi; peace; social; teachers; teaching cache: cice-11399.pdf plain text: cice-11399.txt item: #116 of 342 id: cice-11400 author: Sperandio, Jill title: Social Entrepreneurs and Educational Leadership in Bangladesh date: 2005 words: 6459 flesch: 42 summary: Social entrepreneurship is seen by these governments as having the potential to renew interest in community action and non-formal education to solve local problems in increasing complex and rapidly changing societies (Danaher, Moriarity, & Danaher, 2003; Oyanagi, 2003).

When we began planning for this issue of CICE to mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Comparative and International Education Society, our initial concern was how an issue reflecting on the Society’s past could be brought to bear on current issues in comparative education, in fitting with the journal’s mission. keywords: comparative; education; international; society cache: cice-11409.pdf plain text: cice-11409.txt item: #126 of 342 id: cice-11410 author: Vavrus, Frances; Bartlett, Lesley title: Comparatively Knowing: Making a Case for the Vertical Case Study date: 2006 words: 4188 flesch: 37 summary: Their embrace of case study research in comparative education is not merely methodological; rather, Crossley and Vulliamy make an epistemological ‘case for the case’ by arguing that what can be known about one context cannot be assumed to be true in another context.

The piece explores the concept of vernacular cosmopolitanisms and discusses recent scholarship – on 21st century American education and on early-20th-century Yugoslav education – that have used cosmopolitanism as an analytic category. keywords: cosmopolitanism; education; local; new; popkewitz; world; yugoslav cache: cice-11435.pdf plain text: cice-11435.txt item: #152 of 342 id: cice-11437 author: Rapoport, Anatoli title: Lonely Business or Mutual Concern: The Role of Comparative Education in the Cosmopolitan Citizenship Debates date: 2009 words: 5510 flesch: 37 summary: To effectively impact citizenship education in the U.S. and to advance the inclusion of cosmopolitan global worldview, comparative research should focus on: • Analysis of conditions conducive to the development of cosmopolitan and global citizenship and contexts that make cosmopolitan and global consciousness possible; • Debates around the notion and essence of citizenship, cosmopolitanism, and globalization and how these concepts are constructed, interpreted, negotiated, and applied in various discourses and practices, particularly educational, in different societies; • Policies that impact multiple forms of citizenships; and • Curricular and professional development practices that help teachers and education administrators to better understand the ideas of cosmopolitanism, expanding citizenship, multiple loyalties, and perspective consciousness.

Nonetheless, this book represents a strong contribution toward widening our understanding of fragile states; and despite the far-ranging analysis of both endogenous and exogenous factors that shape state fragility, the authors are perhaps quite right when they insist that “fundamental social change must come from [within and] not from outsiders” (p. 136). – Reviewed by Hakim Mohandas Amani Williams, Gettysburg College Citizenship Education in Commonwealth Countries, by Tristan McCowan and Sonia Gomez. keywords: citizenship; education; state cache: cice-11472.pdf plain text: cice-11472.txt item: #187 of 342 id: cice-11473 author: Wright, Beth title: Citizenship Education in Commonwealth Countries, by Tristan McCowan and Sonia Gomez date: 2012 words: 1705 flesch: 32 summary: One of the major strengths of the book is its diversity in terms of not only the range of issues but also the representation of work done on small states – a not easily defined concept – in the Southern Pacific, Caribbean, African, European, and Mediterranean regions.

Jules Loyola University Chicago The Raison d’être of Small States Research Not so long ago, across many disciplines, the study of small states was seen as a futile project since “small states have been rendered synonymous to chronically vulnerable and problematic territories for which aid, assistance and especially favourable deals are legitimate” (Baldacchino, 2012, p. 237). Yet within the past eighteen months we have seen a popular resurgence of educational research on small states in comparative and international education (CIE) with at least two publications in 2011 (Education in Small States: Policies and Priorities by Michael Crossley, Mark Bray and Steve Packer, and Tertiary Education in Small States: Planning in the Context of Globalization edited by Michaela Martin and Mark Bray) and one in 2010 (Education in Small States: Global Imperatives, Regional Initiatives and Local Dilemmas edited by Peter Mayo). keywords: commonwealth; development; education; international; jules; new; policy; research; small; states; world cache: cice-11479.pdf plain text: cice-11479.txt item: #194 of 342 id: cice-11488 author: Tobin, Joseph title: Comparative, Diachronic, Ethnographic Research on Education date: 2014 words: 4700 flesch: 58 summary: If I had to summarize the key findings of the new book in a single sentence, I would say that between the mid-1980s and the first decade of the new millennia, early childhood education in China changed a lot and Japanese preschools stayed much the same.

Focusing on policy adoption implies paying closer attention to, and producing more empirical research on, the processes, reasons and circumstances that explain how and why policy-makers (or other education stakeholders) select, embrace, and/or borrow global education policies, and aim to implement them in their educational realities. keywords: adoption; education; education policy; global; ideas; issues; makers; new; policies; policy; privatization; processes; public; role; state; verger; world cache: cice-11489.pdf plain text: cice-11489.txt item: #196 of 342 id: cice-11490 author: Bartlett, Lesley title: Vertical Case Studies and the Challenges of Culture, Context, and Comparison date: 2014 words: 2052 flesch: 38 summary: The chapter documents the historical succession of educational policies and discusses how structural adjustment, political shifts, and significant levels of World Bank funding for primary and secondary-level educational reforms paved the way for the adoption of LCP.

The march towards the scientization and quantification of education through comparison has attempted to analyze education systems according to a disaggregation and regression of various widgets, inputs, and outputs (Sobe, 2018). keywords: bhutan; bhutanese; education; eved; framework; happiness; inclusion; national; school; schooling; schuelka; students; system; utility; values cache: cice-8773.pdf plain text: cice-8773.txt item: #316 of 342 id: cice-8776 author: Collins, Madison title: Shadow Education in Africa: Private Supplementary Tutoring and its Policy Implications by Mark Bray date: 2022 words: 2193 flesch: 39 summary: Therefore, after presenting the landscape of African shadow education, Bray provides policy recommendations to prevent the recurrence of many of the harmful effects of private tutoring seen in other parts of the world.
