TÃtulo : The smartest kids in the world : and how they got that way Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Ripley, Amanda, Autor Mención de edición: First Simon & Schuster hardcover edition Editorial: New York : Simon & Schuster Fecha de publicación: 2013 Número de páginas: 306 p. : ill. Dimensiones: 24 cm. ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-4516-5442-4 Nota general: Includes bibliographical references (pages 239-254) and index. Palabras clave: Comparative education Education--Finland Education--Korea (South) Education--Poland Nota de contenido: "In a handful of nations, virtually all children are learning to make complex arguments and solve problems they've never seen before. They are learning to think, in other words, and to thrive in the modern economy. What is it like to be a child in the world's new education superpowers? In a global quest to find answers for our own children, Amanda Ripley follows three Americans embedded in these countries for one year. Kim, fifteen, raises $ 10,000 so she can move from Oklahoma to Finland; Eric, eighteen, exchanges a high achieving Minnesota suburb for a booming city in South Korea; and Tom, seventeen, leaves a historic Pennsylvania village for Poland. Through these young informants, Ripley meets battle - scarred reformers, sleep - deprived zombie students, and a teacher who earns $ 4 million a year. Their stories, along with groundbreaking research into learning in other cultures, reveal a pattern of startling transformation: none of these countries had many "smart" kids a few decades ago. Things had changed. Teaching had become more rigorous; parents had focused on things that mattered; and children had bought into the promise of education" -- Summary taken from Front Flap.
