Program transition challenges in International Baccalaureate schools. Journal of Research in International Education 10(2), 123–136.
Abstract: In this study we analyze a global survey of IB Program Coordinators in 2008 in an effort to understand the challenges that schools are experiencing as they seek to support students in making a successful transition from the Middle Years Program to the Diploma Program. We also highlight differences in the challenges faced by partial continuum and full continuum IB schools and offer recommendations for addressing the ‘transition problems’ identified in the study.

The research presents a longitudi- nal, mixed-methods case study of PBL implementation at a graduate school of business in Thailand.

Letter from the editors for special issue on Higher education reform and change in East Asia. Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management, 33(3), 199–203.
Abstract: New empirical results show the importance of both minimal and high-level skills, the complementarity of skills and the quality of economic institutions, and the robustness of the relationship between skills and growth. International comparisons incorporating expanded data on cognitive skills reveal much larger skill deficits in developing countries than generally derived from just school enrolment and attainment.

Continuously reaffirmed, subtly accommodated, obviously missing and fallaciously critiqued: Ideologies in UNESCO's lifelong learning policy. International Journal of Lifelong Education, 30(2). 151-169.
Abstract: This paper exposes the authoritative and marginal ideological influences within UNESCO's lifelong learning policy during the period between the 1990s and the early 2000s. Specifically, this research's analysis reveals that while social democratic liberalism as a dominant ideology was continuously reaffirmed in UNESCO's lifelong learning policy texts during the period, neoliberal stances were also subtly accommodated and radical social democrats' ideas missing in its recent lifelong learning policy texts. |
