Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
International and Comparative Education is a multidisciplinary and leading discipline aiming to understand the issues that shape the development and paths of education systems. It concerns policymaking, implementation, assessment, and other related debates on educational processes across the globe, which have become significant in informing people about new perspectives in knowledge production and transfer.
Recent developments in technology, the formation of economic groups, geo-political shifts, migration, and religious and linguistic issues have led policymakers and researchers to employ international and comparative education to find solutions to related challenges. In addition, the experiences of other countries, systems, and institutions in educational sciences have been important sources of motivation for researchers and other stakeholders in conducting international and comparative studies of education to discover new and better ideas, policies, and practices.
Thus, this Special Issue is intended to serve as a collection of studies from different countries focused on the challenges we are facing in education and the experiences of different countries or regions, which could render possible solutions to some of the challenges faced in other parts of the world. Hence, this Special Issue welcomes contributions that provide educational experiences and practices of different countries/regions through innovative research methods, well-organized investigations, and rigorous reviews. These contributions may be empirical (qualitative, quantitative, and/or mixed method) or theoretical (review) studies focusing on all levels of education, i.e., from early childhood to higher education.
Submissions that consider comparative education, educational policy, educational practice, educational assessment, internationalization of education, sociology of education, politics of education, and religion in education are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
