Bridging Campus and Classroom Through a Sustainable School–University Partnership in Australia
This article explores how school-based clinics are situated within a large scale school-university partnership and what role they play in pre-service teachers’ professional development. Using large text data from open-ended survey responses from 60 practicing teachers and 540 pre-service teachers (PSTs) over four years (2018 to 2022), alongside quantitative surveys completed by 259 PSTs, we sought to examine how school-based clinics enhance PST p…
Ontological insecurity and the routinization of securitization
This article argues that the enduring hostility in EU–DPRK relations cannot be fully explained by material threat perception alone. Drawing on ontological security theory, it reconceptualizes the North Korean nuclear crisis as a critical situation that disrupts the biographical continuity of both actors. The EU’s self-understanding as a normative, post-Westphalian polity collides with North Korea’s narrative of sovereign survival grounded in mili…

Cosmopolitan nationalism as an analytical lens
Cosmopolitanism and nationalism are often presented in binary terms, as standing in opposition to each other, especially with regards to education. In this paper, we establish a framework for studying education policy today through the lens of a concept we have developed: ‘cosmopolitan nationalism’. Many education systems around the world are grappling with and simultaneously integrating both cosmopolitan and nationalist elements in policy object…
A global typology of school principals’ time use
This study aims to provide quantitative evidence regarding school principals’ time use by employing Latent Class Analysis (LCA) and multinominal logistic regression to the 2018 Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) data from 47 societies. We examined (1) how principals spend their time across different societies by developing a global typology and (2) what macro (national) and micro (organizational) level contextual factors, as well …

EU-Korea relations at 60
The European Union (EU) and South Korea are traditionally strong allies. While their respective bilateral relations with the USA are of paramount significance, both sides have intensified their cooperation over the past decades. Both have been strong advocates of continued liberalisation of world trade, both are strong supporters of multilateralism and global governance and both have had to contend with disruptions to their economic ties and secu…

Teacher self-efficacy in a multicultural classroom
There has been significant focus on multicultural education and particularly culturally responsive teaching (CRT), as classrooms experience an increasing cultural diversity. Within this broader context, this study explores International Baccalaureate (IB) teachers' self-efficacy in a multicultural classroom. This study compares IB teachers with their counterparts in non-IB schools across eight societies. Utilizing large survey data, it was found …
The role of study abroad in preparing teachers for multicultural classroom
Amidst a background of inequality and rising global tensions, the need for effective intercultural understanding is paramount, facilitated by well-prepared teachers. Small-scale, qualitative studies indicate potential positive effects of scaffolded study abroad during initial teacher education on teaching in increasingly diverse classrooms. The study utilizes large scale data from teachers to explore teacher self-efficacy in multicultural classro…
The influx of International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes into local education systems in Hong Kong, Singapore, and South Korea
This comparative analysis aims to capture the complex roles and positionings of the International Baccalaureate (IB) in conjunction with local education systems in Hong Kong, Singapore, and South Korea. Our analysis focused on how the IB’s institutional legitimacy is presented in the three societies. We conducted a documentary analysis of texts on the introduction and implementation of IB programmes into local school systems. Our findings suggest…
Between the flag and the globe
This study focuses on the intersection of global and local identity as it pertains to the case of Israeli youth studying at United World Colleges (UWC) versus those studying at local secondary schools. We examine how education at UWC schools shapes the national identity of Israeli high-school seniors, in contradiction with their socio-economically matched peers who studied at local Israeli schools that encourage a distinctly locally oriented iden…
Straddling the global and national
Reflecting the growing spotlight on international schooling over the last three decades, this special issue aims to illuminate how education is straddling complex tensions between global and national forces across various contexts. Taking a comparative perspective, the special issue addresses the following key questions: How does the growing provision of and desire for international programmes affect education not only in international schools bu…
Does acquisition of formal citizenship have an impact on immigrant adolescents’ perception of racial inequality and discrimination
As immigrants account for an increasing proportion of American youth, understanding how these young people experience change in their citizenship status is an important, yet rarely examined area for research. There is a plethora of evidence that opportunities to participate in American society are stratified according to class, race and ethnicity. Although formal citizenship confers important social, political and economic rights that may attenua…
Revisiting the Faure report
Since its publication in 1972, the Faure report has been regarded as a foundational text on the subject of lifelong learning, offering a plethora of ideas and repertoires. This article contemplates why and how the notions of self-fulfilment and self-learning are interrelated and profoundly important in understanding contemporary lifelong learning discourses, and how both have been appropriated by subsequent policy texts embedded in neoliberal thi…
Social Capital and Education
This entry aims to illuminate the linkage between social capital and education. To this end, the entry begins with an overview of educational research exploring the effects of social capital. In so doing, the seminal work of Bourdieu and Coleman is briefly summarized to show the theoretical genealogy of social capital. Next, the entry discusses social capital in school contexts. Schools are key social venues where peer groups and institutional ag…
Does the international Baccalaureate 'work' as an alternative to mainstream schooling? Perceptions of university students in Hong Kong
Across East and Southeast Asia, the International Baccalaureate (IB) is expanding and diversifying. More students from affluent families are ‘opting out’ of mainstream schooling to take the IB's Diploma Programme (DP), which is marketed as a distinctive skill-based education that prepares students for university. This research investigated how DP alumni reflect on their educational experiences in developing cognitive and non-cognitive skills and …
Pre-service teachers’ international study experiences or in-service teachers’ professional learning communities
Across many countries, schools and classrooms are becoming culturally diverse. In response to this global trend, culturally responsive teaching (CRT) has been highlighted. Within this context, we have a two-fold goal in this study; to explore 1) whether and how pre-service teachers’ international study experiences can impact their self-efficacy in multicultural classrooms when becoming practicing teachers and 2) whether and how in-service teacher…

Effects of ethnic minority adolescents’ peer networks on academic achievement
School Principals’ Time Use for Interaction with Individual Students
To test emerging narratives of principals’ direct effect on student outcomes on a large scale, this study investigates whether school principals’ time use for interacting with individual students is associated with academic achievement and student safety at school. Built on recent research on principals’ time use, this study explores whether economic, sociocultural, and institutional features of societies influence the amount of time principals s…
Is “Whole Child” Education Obsolete? Public School Principals’ Educational Goal Priorities in the Era of Accountability
Objectives: Working under the constraints of external accountability policy, public school principals are faced with challenges in prioritizing educational goals. Using the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) data sets, this study examined the nature and sources of changes in principals’ educational goal priorities in the era of accountability, including the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). Method: Difference-in-differences method was used to comp…

The flow of international students from a macro perspective
This paper provides a network analysis of the international flow of students among 210 countries and the factors determining the structure of this flow. Among these factors, bilateral hyperlink connections between countries and the number of telephone minutes (communication variables) are the most important predictors of the flow’s structure, followed by trade, the physical distance between countries, a common border between countries and a commo…
Continuously reaffirmed, subtly accommodated, obviously missing and fallaciously critiqued
Although the lifelong learning policy of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) has had a unique impact on international discussions over the last four decades, little historical research has revealed the ideological influences at work within UNESCO's lifelong learning policy texts. With this in mind, this paper exposes the authoritative and marginal ideological influences within UNESCO's lifelong learning …
Cosmopolitan nationalism in the cases of South Korea, Israel and the U.S
In this essay we develop the concept of ‘cosmopolitan nationalism’, offering a working definition and suggesting ways sociologists of education might draw on it in their future work. We show how it is a useful analytical lens through which to examine contemporary policies and practices that navigate global processes (ranking systems, mobility of people, expectations for futures) but also take account of nationalistic tendencies, as well as local …

Elite International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme Schools and Inter-cultural Understanding in China
The number of International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) schools has increased rapidly in China in recent years. However, access to schools offering the IBDP remains restricted to a relatively elite minority of China’s population due to enrolment barriers for Chinese nationals and relatively high school fees. An implication is that students potentially remain in physical, cultural and socio-economic isolation from host communities. With…
The evolution of the European Union’s lifelong learning policies
The EU’s lifelong learning policy has emerged as an overarching educational reform policy intended to address a wide range of issues, including education, employment and competitiveness. The question has been raised as to whether the resulting policy is merely a catch‐all concept that can be applied to any needs or whether it is underpinned by a comprehensive concept and strategy. This article advances the notion of institutional learning as the …
Researching social capital in education
This article discusses conceptual considerations for social capital research in education from a social network perspective. Specifically, the article raises three key conceptual issues that call for further elaboration of concepts of social capital: redefining potential resources as accessible but un-utilized sources of social capital; differentiating social capital itself from the process of social capital formation; and investigating both netw…

Understanding educational inequality in Hong Kong
Since the mid-1990s, important education policy changes, such as the growth of Direct Subsidy Scheme (DSS) schools and the reform of the medium of instruction (MOI) policy, have been made in Hong Kong. Little is known about their impact on school segregation and educational inequality. We address this issue using six successive cycles of the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study data. We found evidence for rising levels of seconda…

Hit the ground running’
Since the 2015 World Education Forum, Global Citizenship Education (GCE) as a ‘global idea’ has been widely disseminated to local schools in Korea. GCE Lead Teacher Program has been a major state-led initiative for school change. Informed by Fullan's model for change, we explore what happens ‘on the ground’ when the state introduces GCE through a conventional top-down model at a fast pace and with strong enthusiasm. Using qualitative data, we del…

Effects of Different-Race Exposure in School and Neighborhood on the Reading Achievement of Hmong Students in the United States
Based on analyses of 1,622 Hmong adolescents in a large urban school district, we illuminate a positive association between school different-race exposure and Hmong limited English proficient students’ reading achievement. However, we also note a negative association of neighborhood different-race exposure with Hmong students from low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds. These findings suggest that even if school different-race exposure opport…
