Omschrijving

If you want to look at international studies such as PISA, it is a good idea to skip the prefaces and second-hand accounts and dig into the data and technical reports. Then, we will see that myths about phenomenon-based learning and the so-called 21st century skills do not hold. Good national results need an ambicious and clear curriculum, aligned quality materials, students’ regular assessment, support to all, vocational paths, and flexibility.
