520 1 "This volume a first-ever effort, will broaden our
understanding of middle grades schooling internationally
by critically examining the education of young adolescents
in 14 different countries. Rather than focusing on
international competition and the comparative educational
ranking of the United States, this volume provides
information on how young adolescents are taught and how
middle grades are organized in countries around the world.
In addition, the educational successes and failures
evident in the education of 10- to 15-year-olds, the
indictments and praises that have been offered by
supporters and critics alike, and the research that has
been generated in these countries about educating young
adolescents is addressed.
520 8 In order to facilitate a comparative analysis across these
countries, each of the 14 chapters addresses a common set
of guiding questions. An International Look at Educating
Young Adolescents offers, for the first time, material
that will permit more fruitful discussions about the
status of the middle school movement worldwide."--Jacket.
520 (Sponsored by the Middle Level Education Research Special
Interest Group and the National Middle School Association)
Studies like the Third International Mathematics and
Science Study (TIMSS) have compared the performance of
U.S. middle grade students (i.e., eighth graders) to those
in other countries. In relation to middle grade schools,
20 countries outperformed the United States in mathematics
and nine countries scored above the U.S. in science. The
intent of this volume of The Handbook of Research in
Middle Level Education, An International Look at Educating
Young Adolescents, is to broaden our understanding of
middle grade schooling by critically examining the
education of young adolescents (ages 10-15, typically
grades 6-8) through an international lens. In addition to
looking at how schooling and students are organized for
teaching and learning, this handbook will focus on the
successes and failures that are evident in a wide variety
of nations, present the indictments and praises that have
been offered by supporters and critics alike, and review
the research that has been generated about educating young
adolescents in an effort to cross national boundaries.
Ultimately, this volume of the handbook series will
explore what international perspectives teach us about the
effective education of young adolescents.
