The BRICS countries present and future: glocalization, culture and fragmented transformation / Maria Teresa Tatto N2 - "This edited volume critically engages with the debate on teacher education systems in the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), considering the effects of contemporary globalisation processes on each differing geographic location. Written by leading researchers from the BRICS countries, chapters reveal the processes present in these countries regarding the often-problematic relationships between research, policy and practice, as well as the extent of integration between higher education institutions and basic schools, with particular emphasis on teachers' professional development. With a particular focus on the role of research and positioning of the school practicum, the book offers new insights into the processes of educational globalisation. It presents comparative discussions of the development of BRICS and the significance of education and preparation of teachers between the five nations, each with differing educational traditions. Ultimately, this book provides a unique picture of teacher education systems across these five countries and offers new perspectives that will enrich the work of scholars, students, and researchers in the fields of international and comparative education, education policy and politics, globalisation and teacher education. Policy makers and teacher educators involved in globalisation studies may also benefit from the volume more broadly"-- UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781003388173 ER -
