- Summary:
- This open access book examines the effects of global education agendas such as digitalization, innovation and entrepreneurship, education in emergencies, globalization-internationalization, diversity, and sustainability on education reforms in several countries and regions. It explores how increasing international interaction and communication tools bring along a more intense convergence in national education policies. It emphasizes that in todays' world education politicians and experts in different parts of the world follow the global agenda more effectively and increase reform initiatives. Hence, in order to understand national education policies more deeply, it is important to pay attention to their global context. It explains that education reforms in countries are heavily influenced by both national and global agendas. Chapters in this book analyze the reflections of these global agendas on educational reforms of the country/countries chosen to focus on. Chapter authors draw attention to the impacts of reforms on several aspects of education like pedagogy, curriculum, teacher training, and educational administration. Birol Akgün is the president of Board of Trustees of Turkish Maarif Foundation and works as an academic member at Department of International Relations in Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University, Turkey. Yusuf Alpaydın is working as a faculty member in the field of Educational Administration at Department of Educational Sciences in Marmara University, Turkey.
