Research in the Sociology of Education is an important and established series, highlighting how societal contexts shape the educational experiences and outcomes of individual children and youth.
Including five single-country studies from settings as diverse as rural China, Germany and the United States, as well as two cross-national comparative studies, this insightful new volume continues the series tradition for publishing research from across a broad range of settings. It demonstrates that various educational issues (including student victimization at school, immigrant-native gaps in educational aspiration, and STEM outcomes) are not limited to specific societies but are relevant worldwide. By exploring national and regional situations and then placing them within this broader context, readers are able to see both the commonality and uniqueness of educational issues around the globe.
Eight studies look at the sociology of education from such perspectives as educational outcomes of heterogeneous groups of students in diverse contexts, school violence in China: a multilevel analysis of student victimization in rural middle schools, narratives of interdependence and independence: how social class and family relationships influence where high-achieving students apply to college, socialization experiences and research productivity of Asians and Pacific Islands: "model minority" stereotype and domestic versus international comparison, and gender gaps in student academic achievement and inequality. -- Annotation ©2018 * (protoview.com) *
