Chow, Joseph Kui Foon; Kennedy, Kerry J. – Research in Comparative and International Education, 2015
Researchers in comparative education have suggested different ways in which their field of study can be enhanced by considering units of analysis at different levels rather than focusing on a single level such as the nation-state (Bray and Thomas, 1995; Torney-Purta and Barber, 2011). The study reported here seeks to contribute to this area of…
