RESEARCHING PRIVATE SUPPLEMENTARY TUTORING GEBU...

Private supplementary tutoring  widely known as shadow education because of the way that it
mimics mainstream schooling  has greatly expanded worldwide. It consumes considerable family
resources  provides employment for tutors  occupies the time of students  and has a backwash on
regular schools. Although such tutoring has become a major industry and a daily activity for
students  tutors and families  the research literature has been slow to catch up with the
phenomenon. The topic is in some respects difficult to research  precisely because it is
shadowy. Contours are indistinct  and the actors may hesitate to share their experiences and
perspectives. Presenting methodological lessons from diverse cultures  the book contains
chapters from both high-income and low-income settings in Asia  Caribbean  Europe and the
Middle East. Separately and together  the chapters present valuable insights into the design
and conduct of research. The book will assist both consumers and producers of research.
Consumers will become better judges of the strengths  weaknesses and orientations of literature
on the theme  and producers will gain insights for design of instruments  collection of data 
and interpretation of findings.The editors: Mark Bray is UNESCO Chair Professor in Comparative
