Comings, John P. – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2017
The world community committed to support universal access to basic education in 1990. Since then, schools have been built and teachers hired and trained. Twenty years later, many more students were in primary school, but learning assessments showed that most were not learning how to read well enough to use reading to learn. The world community…

This article presents an effort to integrate the issues of climate change and children's rights into the Greek primary school curriculum through the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs).

Valle-Lisboa, Juan; Cabana, Álvaro; Eisinger, Robert; Mailhos, Álvaro; Luzardo, Mario; Halberda, Justin; Maiche, Alejandro – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2016
In unequal societies the effectiveness of formal education depends on the socioeconomic status (SES) of students. Studies have shown that poverty affects the development of the brain in ways that might compromise future learning, thus increasing the differences between groups with different SES. Interest is growing in the development of tools that…

Street, Brian – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2016
This paper looks at some issues around "learning to read" from the viewpoint of a social practice concept of literacy for both child and adult literacy. This calls for an ethnographic approach that, although increasingly common in the field of adult literacy, is less common in the policy and practice of schooling; there, a more…

Soler, Janet – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2016
Historically, political debates have broken out over how to teach reading in primary schools and infant classrooms. These debates and "reading wars" have often resulted from public concerns and media reportage of a fall in reading standards. They also reflect the importance placed on learning to read by parents, teachers, employers, and…

DeGraff, Michel – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2016
This article aims at a deeper understanding of the importance of native languages in education and development, with Haiti as a case study. About half of Haiti's population is illiterate. Among ten children who enter the first grade, at most one (10%) will graduate from high school; a large proportion will drop out of school at an early age.…

Abadzi, Helen – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2016
Reading programs for low-income populations often give disappointing results. Failures may be partly due to a neglect of practice in decoding letters. Visual stimuli are best learned symbol by symbol, with pattern analogies and much practice to unite smaller components and speed up identification. The prerequisite for comprehending volumes of text…

Gregory, Eve – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2016
How children learn to read is a controversial matter. Since the teaching of literacy has always been a major purpose of schooling, pedagogy and teaching methods have generally framed research and practice. Psychologists and linguists have played a major role in determining what we mean by "literacy learning". Although they disagree on…

Kral, Inge; Schwab, R. G. – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2016
If young adults in remote Indigenous Australian communities are to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to participate effectively in mature roles in their own and the wider community, then educators will need to pay attention not only to the provision of schooling and formal adult-literacy tuition, but also to how language, literacy, and…

McGinn, Noel F.; Schiefelbein, Ernesto – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2015
Reading before class has been demonstrated to improve student learning. This article describes the installation and effectiveness of a strategy to encourage student class preparation.

Bogachenko, Tatiana; Perry, Laura – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2015
This article examines the pedagogical dimension of vospitanie, or character formation, in communist and post-communist education. It explores how vospitanie is conceptualized in two teacher-education textbooks--one from each period--in Ukraine, a post-Soviet country. Comparative analysis shows how conceptualizations of vospitanie have evolved over…

Mitra, Sugata – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2014
This paper describes the effect that assistive technologies, such as paper, printing, protractors, logarithm tables, computers, and the Internet, have on pedagogy. It reports the results of experiments with self-organising systems in primary education and develops the concept of a self-organised learning environment (SOLE). It then describes how…

Buckner, Elizabeth; Kim, Paul – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2014
Despite the long-standing interest in educational technology reforms, many researchers have found that it is difficult to incorporate advanced information and communications technologies (ICT) in classrooms. Many ICT projects, particularly in the developing world, are limited by the lack of integration between pedagogy and technology. This article…
