Beskrivning

A well-edited collection of case studies showing different experiences from around the world that involve children in decisions regarding their own education. Since the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, there has been an increasing recognition globally that children need to have more say in their education. ��Children as Decision Makers in Education�� is concerned with how children can actively participate in decision-making. It builds upon previous research into student voice and decision-making, citizenship education in the school curriculum and work with children as researchers. This fascinating collection is forward-looking, bringing together cross-cultural experiences and supporting individuals or groups to work collaboratively in the future.

Recensioner i media

'This book advances the current discourse surrounding the role of 'children's voice' in education and society more generally, taking it beyond the northern into the southern sphere of the globe and engaging it with issues of poverty and social conflict...it confronts deeper questions about what decisions children should be making to actively shape their experience of schooling and indeed their experience in society...[The contributions] force us to reflect about how we should be conceptualising the abilities and rights of the child in a global context, and indeed about children as partners in the global project of radical democratization.' John Elliott, Emeritus Professor of Education, University of East Anglia, UK
