Opis

This book explores the idea that the increasingly complex connections created by the forces of globalisation have led to a diminishing difference between what were once described as international schools and national schools.

Recenzje

'The presentation of the book is easy to follow as Bagnall lists important terms and concepts in the early chapters, describes the longitudinal design of this study, and quotes students’ responses extensively in most chapters of the book to illustrate their feelings about international schooling. Such an in-depth qualitative study provides researchers and policy makers with valuable information on international schooling, student identity formation, globalized education, and ways of conducting cross-country educational research.' - Hao Wang, RELC, December 2015
