High-Stakes Schooling: What We Can Learn from Japan's Experiences with Testing, Accountability, and Education Reform
ISBN: 9780226309415 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Bjork asks a variety of important...

Since the Teacher Education Act was in place in 1994, student teachers were educated through diverse educational institutions instead of the traditional normal schools (Taiwan s equivalent of teachers colleges).
