Abstract
The previous chapter draws attention to the relationships between education and human development and considers Amartya Sen’s ‘Capability Approach’ and the ideas that are advanced in his book Development as Freedom. The first ten chapters in this present volume do not directly link to Sen’s ideas except in so far as they discuss the processes associated with the ‘capabilities’ assessed in the PISA Studies concerned with Mathematics Literacy, Science Literacy, and Reading Literacy, as well as Problem Solving through the use of Computer-Based Assessment.
