| Summary |
"The articles in this volume provide a review of research and scholarly work in the field of education that has been undertaken in Australia during the past 30 years. The articles not only assess the research, but also consider the contribution of scholarly work to thinking in the various areas, as well as placing Australian work in the perspective of developments and research in other parts of the world. They take into account the changes in theoretical and methodological approaches and how these changes have influenced the nature of research into Australian education."--BOOK JACKET |
