A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

As the numbers of Chinese post-graduate students continues to grow in universities around the world issues relating to Chinese education are becoming of world-wide interest. The present book is a contribution to this widening interest and to debates within the field. Most chapters are the work of contemporary Chinese scholars pioneering distinctive ways of examining the complex social reality of the Chinese educational scene. Others result from collaboration between Chinese and British academics, demonstrating the potential for intercultural research, much of which has been brought about by the Chinese Educational Research Association (CERA), based at the Institute of Education, University of London. This book stands as an expression of the positive benefits of international collaboration in research, something the editors and contributors are committed to expanding for the future. With chapters on topics ranging from English-language learning and education among the Chinese diaspora to professional development and the role of the state in Chinese education, the book demonstrates a commitment to a multidisciplinary approach, and will act as a practical and critical resource for researchers, especially those undertaking doctoral studies and their tutors.

Revue de presse

We welcome a book such as this because it reveals the range of exciting research that is currently being undertaken by Chinese scholars working in the field of education studies. These studies illustrate well the potential that exists for further research across the field. It will be a valuable reference work for postgraduate students as well as their tutors and can offer examples for proposed future studies of Chinese education. --Professor Fuxing Liu, Beijing Normal University, Vice President of Northwest Normal University

This is a very meaningful and enlightening book. Not only does it explore new directions in education in China as the title suggests, but the collection of chapters from different authors also provides an important window for readers to understand the width and depth of exchange and collaboration between China and the UK in education research. --Lianghuo Fan, Professor in Education, University of Southampton
