In  particular, the concept of a “Chinese education model” is one that has sparked  debate and quickly become a major focus of education research around the world,  especially in light of regional achievements vis-à-vis university rankings,  bibliometric indices, the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA),  Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), and other such  benchmarks. Chinese Education Models in a Global Age tackles this controversial  issue head on by synthesizing a diversity of analyses from a world-class team of  twenty-seven authors. It reveals that Chinese education models, which are  present in many different geographic and institutional contexts, have an  important influence on social and institutional norms as well as individual  belief systems and behaviors in China and beyond. The first of its kind, this  edited volume establishes a foundation for future research while providing a  nuanced and tightly integrated compilation of differing perspectives on the role  and impact of Chinese education models worldwide. It is essential reading for  all scholars, policymakers, students, parents, and educators interested in the  rising demographic and economic influence of people of Chinese descent on  education around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-04-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789811003288\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-981-10-0330-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 362\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47378574573708,"sku":"9789811003288","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789811003288.jpg?v=1775706585","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789811003288","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
