Produktbeschreibung

Drawing on ten years of research into educational innovation, incorporating scientists, teachers, students, industry professionals and policy makers, this book challenges the often adopted notion of a single, linear educational future. Considering alternative strategies for conceptualising the future of education, Facer takes into account the challenges that future decades may face.
