Gender gap in Swiss vocational education and training teachers’ economics content knowledge and the role of teaching experience

Pathways fostering mobility to higher education for vulnerable immigrants in France, Switzerland and Canada

Concept and design developments in school improvement research: general discussion and outlook for further research
2021
AbstractThis book aimed to present innovative designs, measurement instruments, and analysis methods by way of illustrative studies. Through these methodology and design developments, the complexity of school improvement in the context of new governance and accountability measures can be better depicted in future research projects. In this concluding chapter, we discuss what strengths the presented methodologies and designs have and to what extent they do better justice to the multilevel, complex, and dynamic nature of school improvement than previous approaches. In addition, we outline some needs for future research in order to gain new perspectives for future studies.
