Description:
A Cross Cultural Perspective presents a distinctive contribution to our understanding of the education of the young child across five cultures, as well as to the debate about early education's purposes and character. The book does not simply compare and contrast each culture. Rather, it presents an integrated theoretical study of the cultural practices and implications of education in England, France, Russia, India, and the United States.
Expand description
The book establishes its distinctive character from the outset by using examples of classroom material from the five countries to set the scene and establish the book's engagement with education processes and transactions as well as policy and theory. It then moves progressively from macro to micro in its transition from the international context to the relationship of education to the state, to schools, and then to classrooms.
