| Summary, etc |
"This volume provides in-depth, comparative examination of how primary mathematics education is influenced by national education reform, policy, local resources, and culture in three different countries. By drawing on first-hand observations and interviews, as well as analysis of policy documents and learning resources, the text considers the viability of transferring best practices in primary mathematics education across global contexts. Three diverse countries - Ghana, the US, and Singapore - are explored. Similarities and differences are highlighted, and the influence of national and regional initiatives relating to pedagogical strategies, teacher education, and cultural expectations are considered, to offer an insightful examination of how best practices might be shared across borders. This text will benefit researchers, academics, and postgraduate scholars with an interest in international and comparative education, mathematics, and educational policy. Those with a specialization in primary mathematics education, including pedagogy and teacher preparation, will also benefit from this book. Sarah Murray is Associate Professor of Education at Centre College, USA. Princess Allotey is completing a PhD in Mathematical Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University, USA"-- |
