Special Issue Focus and Scope

Various aspects of school education in different countries and regions are undergoing transformation as a response to the influences of globalization over the last decades. These transformations include but not limit to:

Who we teach as student population become ever diverse in classrooms and the communities that schools are serving are changing because of migrations of people across and within countries and the relocation and changes of work places
What we teach as reflected in the movements of establishment and reestablishment of curriculum standards and accountability assessments as a result of global economy and thus, social and political changes in many counties and regions
How we teach and develop, sustain, and expand effective teaching as a result of the emergence of new needs for learning, development of new technology and ways of teaching, and the new understanding about what and how students and teachers learn
How our schools are organized, operated, and funded for learning and teaching and the changed roles of leadership at school level and beyond consequently

These transformations are diverse as they occur in different countries, cultures, and societies and thus, poses various kinds of challenges, macro and micro, for school education at conceptual, policy, and practice levels. Therefore, research into the characteristics, causes, processes, and consequences of these transformations and develop deep and extensive understandings about the challenges resulted from these transformations and their resolutions are, therefore, extremely important scholarship, policy, and practice wise.

This issue invites empirical studies and book reviews that examine any questions and issues relevant to the transformation and challenges of school education in the globalization. It is our hope that through the examination about these questions and issues, this special issue can help advance our understanding about the causes, processes, and consequences of school education transformations and the challenges and challenge resolutions associated with these transformations in different national, cultural, social, district, school, and classroom contexts central to informing the policy making and practices related to different aspects and levels of school education nationally and internationally.
