Synopsis :

"Learning from Comparing" is a major two-volume study which reassesses the contribution of comparative educational research and theory to our understanding of contemporary educational problems and to our capacity to solve them. At a time when educational research is under attack on the grounds of "bias" and "irrelevance", and under pressure to address only those questions which are acceptable politically (as good a definition of bias as any), this is a serious attempt to bridge the worlds of research, policy and practice. The editors have put together a collection - in terms of both perspective and nationality - which ensures contrasting viewpoints on each topic.
