Educational Research and Innovation Working Out Change: Systemic Innovation in Vocational Education and Training (Centre for Educational Research and Innovation)

This book analyses systemic innovation in education by looking at the ways in which educational systems encourage innovation, the knowledge base and processes used, and the procedures and criteria used to assess progress and evaluate outcomes. It draws on findings from 14 case studies in Vocational Education and Training in six OECD countries: Australia, Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Mexico and Switzerland. The resulting analysis helps us understand how we can support and sustain innovation in educational systems in the VET sector.Table of Content :Executive SummaryChapter 1. IntroductionChapter 2.
