Why comparative research on the middle years? -- Chapter 2. Setting the Stage -- Chapter 3. Multicultural and Multifaceted Canada -- Chapter 4. Germany: A System undergoing Change -- Chapter 5. Finland: Towards the Future School -- Chapter 6. Ecologies of Practice.This book draws on detailed case studies from three very different countries and school systems to explore the early adolescent learner and the middle years of learning, both of which are often overlooked in the literature. An abundance of research shows the importance of the middle years in putting early adolescent learners on the path to success in further education, careers, and general wellbeing. By focusing on bringing current research to life through the sharing of practical examples and lived experiences of practitioners, this book explores how issues such as curriculum reform, inclusive philosophies, instructional design, and assessment practices are supporting the conditions in which effective middle years learning can unfold. A comparative approach, using data from Canada, Germany and Finland, is utilized to critically examine the effects of the pedagogical methods employed by teachers, and the learning environments in which formal education takes place. The book makes a compelling case for the importance of fostering student voice and choice, and developing new ways of engaging the school community as a whole, and makes a valuable contribution to the discourse concerning early adolescent learners and the middle years of schooling. .LearningInstructionCurriculums (Courses of study)Education—CurriculaTeachingAssessmentChild developmentInternational education Comparative educationLearning & Instructionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O22000Curriculum Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O15000Teaching and Teacher Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O31000Assessment, Testing and Evaluationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O33000Early Childhood Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O37000International and Comparative Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O13000Learning.Instruction.Curriculums (Courses of study).Education—Curricula.Teaching.Assessment.Child development.International education .Comparative education.Learning & Instruction.Curriculum Studies.Teaching and Teacher Education.Assessment, Testing and Evaluation.Early Childhood Education.International and Comparative Education.370.152Yee Brandyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1059548Sliwka Anneauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autRautiainen Mattiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910299501803321Engaging Adolescent Learners2507015UNINA
