Transitions to School: Perspectives and Experiences from Latin America: Research, Policy, and Practice de Angel Urbina-García

Transitions to School: Perspectives and Experiences from Latin America: Research, Policy, and Practice: International Perspectives on Early Childhood Education and Development, cartea 37

Editat de Angel Urbina-García, Bob Perry, Sue Dockett, Divya Jindal-Snape, Benilde García-Cabrero
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 aug 2023
This book showcases the quality work that Latin American researchers have done on transition to school in Latin American countries by offering the English-speaking world, first-hand access to some Latin American transitions research, practices, and policies. This book shows the work carried out in countries such as Brazil, Chile, Cuba, and Mexico with regards to the way in which the transition to primary school is experienced from different stakeholders' perspectives, and how Latin American educational policies and cultural practices shape such an important process for stakeholders. This book was importantly framed by the COVID-19 pandemic which placed the world in a global health emergency, and it is our hope that this book will trigger future international collaborations between researchers, policy makers, and practitioners interested in transitions which could help produce a wealth of empirical evidence to inform educational policies and transitions practices across the world. Building networks where diverse experiences are valued and respected, as well as analysed, can help provide a platform that supports educators and researchers as they continue their work and branch out in new and challenging directions.
