Recenzje

"This book focuses on international and global dimensions of education across multiple levels of schooling. ... accessible to both specialists and non-specialists in the field, and is likely to be particularly useful to students and researchers in these fields, as well as to be of interest to teachers at both secondary and tertiary levels." (Nicola Savvides, Journal of Research in International Education, Vol. 18 (1), April, 2019)

Blurb

This book examines the integration of the international, global, and intercultural dimensions in contemporary education systems. Yemini provides a comprehensive understanding of the process of internationalization from different angles including policy-making, curriculum implementation, media discourse, and individual agency. The book illuminates and analyzes a set of key tensions of internationalization across multiple levels of schooling and across the domains of popular discourse, policy, curriculum, pedagogy, and students’ identity, by connecting or re-connecting the process of internationalization and its outcomes at individual level of global citizenship. The author uses solid empirical embedding of each of those aspects together with development of novel theoretical insights in each of the investigated domains.
