Book Description
This book focuses on the International Examinations Inquiry (IEI), an international, well-funded scientific project that operated in the 1930s, attracting key world figures in educational research, and which undertook significant exchanges of data. Originally involving the USA, Scotland, England, France, Germany and Switzerland, the IEI grew to include Norway, Sweden and Finland. Funded by Carnegie money, these researchers included major comparative educationalists, New Education Fellowship academics, statisticians and educational psychologists. They met at a significant time in the emergence of international scientific work in educational research between the USA and Europe; they were a midway stage between earlier individual contacts by well-travelled researchers, usually towards North America, and the development of joint research projects, sustained over time. The focus of the IEI was on methods of examining pupils for the coming expansion of secondary education, but their key problems were to do with establishing standardized methods of measurement, international scholarly communication and comparative understandings of national diversity. The IEI researchers acted to support national achievements and strategies within the borders of the nation and internationally, to exchange methods and results. In retrospect, they appear to be visible in their knowledge communities and national education histories but invisible in their internationalism.

Book Description
This collection of papers by educational researchers in Scotland focuses on changes in educational systems and on transition points within systems (such as the transition from primary to secondary education). Chapters fall into four broad categories: Chapters 1 through 5 illustrate how particular facets of education have changed over relatively long periods of time. Chapters 6 through 10 center on reforms in Scottish education. Chapters 11 and 12 are concerned with transition in the sense of change for the individual that relates to moving from school to the labor market. Chapter 13 concentrates on research perspectives.
