Comparative Perspectives on School Segregation
關於本電子書
Topics examined include student sorting between schools in marketized systems; the effects of school socioeconomic segregation on international tests of student achievement and the structures that shape cross-national variations; the impact of school choice on school segregation in Canada; school segregation and institutional trust in Chile; racial/ethnic and socioeconomic segregation in Brazil; and parental financial contributions as a cause and consequence of school segregation in Australia. The contributions highlight how selective schooling, private schooling, school funding, school choice, and school competition interact to shape school segregation, as well as the consequences of school segregation on a range of student outcomes. Through its embrace of diversity of methodological approaches, context and focus, this book stimulates new lines of research in an important and growing field.
Comparative Perspectives on School Segregation will be a key resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of comparative education, educational leadership and policy, educational research, ethnic studies, research methods, economics of education, sociology of education, history of education and educational psychology. The chapters included in this book were originally published as a special issue of Comparative Education.
