In Australia the way that schools, school funding, school markets, universities and the responsibilities of government for education are organised have all been subject to radical reform in recent decades. It has never been more important for students of education to be able to understand the connections between the local and the global in explaining contemporary educational change. Every chapter not only describes and analyses what is going on, but each interprets the evidence in particular ways. Discussion of the issues raised in this book is encouraged, and students are given every opportunity to analyse and question. Also, pedagogical features throughout encourage discussion of the issues raised Notes Previous ed. 2010 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 320-353) and index Notes Print version record Subject Educational change -- Australia -- Textbooks Education -- Social aspects -- Australia -- Textbooks Education -- Social aspects -- Study and teaching (Higher) -- Australia Education -- Social aspects -- Textbooks Education -- Social aspects -- Study and teaching (Higher) Educational change -- Textbooks Educational change -- Study and teaching (Higher) Education -- Social aspects Educational change Australia Genre/Form Textbooks Form Electronic book Author Welch, Anthony R., author Vickers, Margaret, author Foley, Dennis, author Bagnall, Nigel, author Hayes, Debra N.
