Abstract
The Series was started in 2000, as a joint venture between the Inter-national Academy of Education (IAE) and the International Bureau of Education (IBE). So far 34 booklets have been published in English and many of them have been translated in several other languages.The success of the Series shows that the booklets meet a need for practically relevant research-based information in education.The series is also a result of the IBE’s efforts to establish a global partnership that recognizes the role of knowledge brokerage as a key mechanism for improving the substantive access of policymakers and diverse practitioners to cutting-edge knowledge. Increased access to relevant knowledge can also inform education practitioners, policy-makers, and governments on how this knowledge can help address urgent international concerns, including but not limited to curricu-lum, teaching, learning, assessment, migration, conflict, employment, and equitable development.Governments need to ensure that their education systems meet their core and indisputable mandate, which is to promote learning and, ultimately, to produce effective lifelong learners. With the aggressive pace of contextual change in the 21st century, lifelong learning is a critical source of adaptability, agility to adapt, and the resilience required to meet challenges and opportunities. Yet, for many coun-tries around the world, effective facilitation of learning remains a daunting challenge. Learning outcomes remain poor and inequitable. Intolerably high proportions of learners fail to acquire prerequisite competences for lifelong learning such as sustainable literacy, digital literacy, critical thinking, communication, problem solving, as well as competences for employability and for life. Systems’ failure to facilitate learning co-exists with impressive advancements in educa-tion research, driven by research from diverse fields, including the sciences of learning, particularly the neuroscience of learning, and advancements in technology.The IBE’s knowledge brokerage initiative seeks to close the gap between scientific knowledge on learning and its application in education policies and practice. It is driven by the conviction that a deeper understanding of learning should improve teaching, learning, assessment, and policies on lifelong learning....
