- Summary:
-
"The Six Nation Education Research Project was a seven-year, unique comparative international education research project involving six countries - China, Germany, Japan, Singapore, Switzerland, and the United States - and designed to show how collaborative research can help expand worldwide knowledge of education. Learning through Collaborative Research is a collection of original essays written by the participants in the study, examining the effects of the different educational research conducted. The participants focused on a variety of topics, including language instruction, testing results, secondary vocational education, and determinations of school effectiveness. This book showcases the research itself and records what did and didn't work in the collaborative process, suggesting ways that the results could have been improved. Learning through Collaborative Research is essential for anyone doing educational research on a global scale."--BOOK JACKET.
