“…While confirming the importance of international institutions in processes of globalization identified in other research (Boli and Thomas, 1997;Ham and Cha, 2009;Schofer and Meyer, 2005), this study highlights the need for theoretical accounts of the nexus between international institutions, relationships of power, and "world culture." This theorization could be approached from the perspective of global political economy, analyzing the multi-faceted interaction between institutions, their modes of cultural legitimation, and power embodied in material and economic forms as well as in epistemic and discursive regimes.…”

“…World culture theory also offers more explicit predictions for testing and falsification than its alternatives: giving rise to a genre of research that associates membership in international organizations with practices that reflect world culture values, for example the expansion of mass education (Boli, Ramirez and Meyer, 1985), human rights education (Ramirez, Suárez and Meyer, 2007), policies on technology in education (Ham and Cha, 2009), and environmental education (Bromley, Meyer and Ramirez, 2011). Evan Schofer and John Meyer (2005) apply the world culture perspective to the worldwide expansion higher education, looking at national factors explaining the global rise of higher education enrollment in the twentieth century.…”

“…Ham et Cha (2009) ont d'ailleurs noté que la majorité des sociétés partagent l'idée selon laquelle les TIC sont un des thèmes clés en politique éducative lorsqu'il est question de créer un système d'éducation qui soit en mesure de préparer adéquatement de futurs citoyens à vivre dans la société du savoir ou de l'information. Cette position se confirme dans les écoles du Québec, où les TIC occupent une place de choix dans la formation des élèves tout au long de leur parcours scolaire (ministère de l'Éducation du Québec [MEQ], 2001).…”

Le présent article porte sur les compétences informationnelles au sein du système d’éducation du Québec, tant pour les élèves que pour les enseignants. Les auteurs y proposent une revue des études empiriques sur le niveau des compétences informationnelles des futurs maîtres du Québec avant d’introduire la méthodologie et les résultats d’une enquête portant, d’une part, sur les habitudes de recherche d’information et, d’autre part, sur le sentiment d’autoefficacité de futurs enseignants quant à leurs compétences informationnelles. L’analyse des obstacles au développement de ces compétences vient clore ce texte.This article is about the computer skills of both students and teachers in Québec’s education system. To introduce the methodology, it begins with a review of empirical studies on the computer skills of future teachers in Québec. The results of a survey on information search habits and the future teachers’ sense of self-efficacy in relation to their computer skills is then presented. The article concludes with an analysis of obstacles to developing these skills.El presente artículo aborda las competencias informáticas en el seno del sistema de educación de Quebec, tanto entre los alumnos como entre los maestros.

“…As nation-states worldwide shift their goals towards building knowledge societies and information-based economies, educational policymakers are re-evaluating the kinds of knowledge and skills students need (Ham & Cha, 2009;Kozma, 2005). This shift significantly influences curriculum development, teacher preparation and educational culture, especially in rapidly developing educational systems like those in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries (Wiseman & Anderson, 2012;2013).…”

Science Education in the Arab Gulf States

The development and spread of technology in schools as an educational innovation is well-documented worldwide, but the more recent and unique development of science instruction based on information and communication technology (ICT) has not been empirically examined in the Arabian Gulf, specifically. Using 2007 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) data, lower secondary science teachers' ICT professional development and use is investigated in this chapter to provide empirical evidence of a relationship between teachers' use of ICT for instruction, the spread of ICT resources in educational systems across the GCC, and the impact of these teacher and school-level characteristics on student achievement. Evidence from TIMSS 2007 suggests that teachers' use of ICT for instruction and engagement in ICT-related professional development in GCC educational systems is similar to the international mean, but having increased access to ICT in classroom instruction does not necessarily improve student achievement in science.
