  Digital methodologies, new forms of data visualisation and computer-based learning and assessment are creating new challenges as well as opportunities for scholars in educational research. The World Yearbook of Education 2019 explores this highly relevant topic, opening new discussion about the various conceptual and methodological challenges in educational research.

  This volume explores contemporary methodological challenges and opportunities, with chapters organised around four topics of enduring interest in this field: impacts, patterns, relations and contexts.

  The World Yearbook of Education 2019 encompasses contributions from internationally renowned scholars exploring novel concepts and methodologies and grappling with contemporary empirical phenomena in educational research. Vital questions such as how we understand the technological developments that are creating new possibilities for and demands on education, and how we make sense of complex cases that cut across multiple nations, are discussed.

  This newest addition to the prestigious World Yearbook of Education series provides a fascinating read for scholars in the fields of education policy and comparative education. It is not only a useful resource for educational researchers and policy makers examining new trends and emerging issues, but would be of interest to graduate students interested in exploring innovative methodologies, particularly in the study of education and education policy.
