The History of Higher EducationEdited and with a new introduction by Roy Lowe, Institute of Education, University of London, UK

Series: Major Themes in EducationThis new Major Work is a five-volume collection in Routledge’s Major Themes in Education series. It charts the history and development of higher education. Encompassing the period since 1760, the principal focus is on the late-eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, although more recent developments are also addressed.

The rise and development of universities and of higher education in Britain provides the central theme of the collection and is used as a model for developments elsewhere in the English-speaking world. Particular attention is paid to the United States and the British Empire, but some material on other European countries and on the rise of higher education in countries such as Japan and China has also been included. Thus, at the core of this collection is the dissemination of a university ideal around the globe and its particular implications and interpretation in specific societies and locations.

Computer-Assisted Language LearningEdited and with a new introduction by Philip Hubbard, Stanford University, USA

Series: Critical Concepts in LinguisticsAlthough the early promise of computer-assisted language learning (or ‘CALL’), to revolutionize second-language learning has not been met, the past quarter century has seen a fascinating range of growth. This is not only because of lessons learned from research and practice, but also due to the rapid and continuing shifts in the technology itself.

This new four-volume title from Routledge will allow ’CALL’ practitioners, researchers, and students to easily access the best and most influential foundational and cutting-edge scholarship. There is also a comprehensive introduction to critical concepts in ’CALL’ for applied linguists and language educators interested in the growing role of technology in second-language acquisition.

Selected Contents: Volume I: Foundations of CALL 1. CALL Theory, Frameworks, and Conceptualizations 2. Early CALL Projects 3. CALL Research Trends and Issues 4.

Educational Assessment and EvaluationEdited and with a new introduction by Harry Torrance, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK

Series: Major Themes in EducationAssessment and evaluation are crucial aspects of any educational system and rarely can they have been so central to educational policy-making and the reform of schooling as at the present time. Good quality assessment is vital to individual student life-chances and to issues of parental choice, school reputation, government policy evaluation, and long-term economic development. Poor quality assessment can disrupt all of these elements of an effective school system by, for example, narrowing what is taught and learned to only the limited range of skills and abilities examined through paper-and-pencil tests.

Islam and EducationEdited and with a new introduction by Tahir Abbas, University of Birmingham, UK

Series: Major Themes in EducationVolume I of this new Routledge collection focuses on theories of education. The gathered materials explore and analyse the impact of the classical Islamic period in history and the developments in education which have emanated from it. Volume II focuses on education in Eastern Europe and Muslim Asia, capturing the essential issues in each of the countries studied, and how they vary across a vast region. The impact of culture and modernization on traditional societies, as well as the ways in which westernized modes of education are introduced, and the aspirations of youth are in turn determined.

Volume III looks at education in the Middle East and Muslim Africa. Islam has its origins in the Middle East, and today many of the challenges Muslims face in relation to Islam and education are concentrated in this region. Volume IV explores the education of Muslims in North America and Europe, and of minorities in advanced liberal secular democracies.

Indeed, ‘women and education’ is now an established—and flourishing—domain of study. Edited by two leading scholars in the field, Women and Education is a four-volume collection of foundational and cutting-edge contributions further distinguished by the inclusion of autobiographical works to capture the experience of education as a broad societal process, and not simply as formal schooling.
