Opis

In the World Library of Educationalists series, international experts compile career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces - extracts from books, key article, salient research findings, major theoretical and practical contributions - so the world can read them in a single manageable volume. Readers will be able to follow the themes and strands and see how their work contributes to the development of the field. Ruth Hayhoe is a distinguished scholar in Comparative Education and Higher Education, as well as one of the most highly regarded experts on Chinese education in the world. Extremely well respected throughout China as well, she has authored about 75 articles and book chapters, as well as several books on Chinese education and East-West relations in education. This selection of 15 of her most representative papers and chapters documents the most significant works of her research on Chinese education, Higher Education, and Comparative Education. The three sections cover:

• Comparative Education and China
• Higher Education and History
• Religion, Culture and Education

The collection not only helps foreign scholars understand Chinese education development in its cultural context comprehensively and systemically, but also provides a fresh point of view for education practitioners and policy makers in China.
