international studies researchers. It contains 33 chapters on all major educational topics, including

research using all qualitative and quantitative methodologies, with research from 23 countries and all

inhabited continents. Here you as a scholar will find research from countries not usually known for published educational schooling

topics. The globalization of educational research has not typically kept pace with the globalization of economies or communication

technologies. This Handbook includes expanded research capabilities from both developed and less developed countries

throughout the world.
