Education & Society books

As the stakes for education have risen, so has the call for more and improved use of scientific evidence as a basis for educational policymaking, both in the Gulf and worldwide. Evidence-based decision-making has become a staple of educational reform and funding requirements worldwide. Significant multinational organizations such as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the World Bank have made evidence-based policymaking a priority both in their own work as influential research and policy organizations as well as for their member or client nations.  This volume’s goal is to definitively describe, synthesize and forecast how large-scale data is used for evidence-based policymaking in national education systems. It will look at many large-scale datasets that are relevant to evidence-based educational policymaking, including the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), Progress in International Reading and Literacy Study (PIRLS), and the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA).

Universities and Entrepreneurship: Meeting the educational and social challenges addresses the concerns on how universities nurture entrepreneurship and how this leads to their transformation into entrepreneurial universities.  This novel edited volume attempts to answer the following timely questions:   1. What are intrinsic demands for entrepreneurship rooted to universities in the 21st century?  2. What are conducive environments for entrepreneurial learning in both academic and non-academic settings?  3. Do these attempts demonstrate differential impact across students from different disciplines, and more generally amongst the youth population?  This eleventh volume of Contemporary Issues in Entrepreneurship Research is a valuable contribution to the intersection of research into entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial universities. In acknowledging the varied and somewhat piecemeal approach taken to address these issues to date, this edited volume provides a more systematic and integrated perspective with relevance for students of entrepreneurship as well as for educators and policymakers.
