Teaching and Learning for the Twenty-First Century: Educational Goals, Policies, and Curricula from Six Nations Paperback - 2016
by Fernando M. Reimers (Editor); Connie K. Chung (Editor)
From the rear cover
Teaching and Learning for the Twenty-First Century examines how six countries--Chile, China, India, Mexico, Singapore, and the United States--define, support, and cultivate the core competencies that students will need in order to succeed in the current century. The fruition of a collaborative research project at the Global Education Innovation Initiative at the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE), the book's crucial contribution to the burgeoning field of international education arises out of its special attention to first principles--and thus to first questions: As Reimers and Chung explain, "much can be gained by an explicit investigation of the intended purposes of education, in what they attempt to teach students, and in the related questions of why those purposes and how they are achieved." "What should be the goals of education in the twenty-first century? By surveying the ways that six nations have sought to identify and develop the competencies necessary for success, this volume offers a thoughtful, grounded, and provocative response to that essential question. It serves as an indispensable resource for all those working to provide a relevant and high-quality education to children around the globe."
--James E. Ryan, dean and Charles William Eliot Professor, Harvard Graduate School of Education "If education policy makers around the world do one thing in the next twelve months, it should be to read this book! Reimers and Chung have provided a welcome dose of reality into the conversation about how to prepare our students for the challenges of the twenty-first century."
--Ken Kay, CEO, EdLeader21 "What Reimers and Chung have done is unparalleled: a comparative study of how education systems have approached the challenge of twenty-first-century competencies. The result will be invaluable to the global education community in thinking about how to prepare learners for a complex and ever-changing world."
--Gwang-Jo Kim, director, UNESCO Asia and Pacific Regional Bureau for Education Fernando M. Reimers is Ford Foundation Professor of Practice in International Education and director of the Global Education Innovation Initiative and the International Education Policy Program at HGSE. Connie K. Chung is research director of the Global Education Innovation Initiative.
