Abstract

One of the impacts of globalisation is that many countries are faced with similar societal changes, most of which manifest as challenges to the classroom in terms of pedagogy, values and teaching strategies. Issues of achievement, social equality, learner disaffection, teacher stance and teaching strategies now receive considerable public exposure and attention. In this paper, we prefigure just two elements, which provide the specific focus for informed international educational comparison, as the overarching pedagogical challenges of 'engagement' (i.e. learning disaffection) and 'achievement'.
