Primary Mathematics Pedagogy at the Intersection of Education Reform, Policy, and Culture: Comparative Insights from Ghana, Singapore, and the US. Routledge Research in International and Comparative Education
Murray, Sarah; Allotey, Princess
Routledge Research in International and Comparative Education
This volume provides an in-depth, comparative examination of how primary mathematics education is influenced by national education reform, policy, local resources, and culture in three different countries. By drawing on first-hand observations and interviews, as well as analysis of policy documents and learning resources, the book considers the viability of transferring best practices in primary mathematics education across global contexts. Three diverse countries -- Ghana, the US, and Singapore -- are explored. Similarities and differences are highlighted, and the influence of national and regional initiatives related to pedagogical strategies, teacher education, and cultural expectations are considered, to offer an insightful examination of how best practices might be shared across borders. This book will benefit researchers, academics, and postgraduate scholars with an interest in international and comparative education, mathematics, and educational policy. Those with a specialization in primary mathematics education, including pedagogy and teacher preparation, will also benefit from this book.
