Where it did not prove possible to elicit further data in the case
of existing case studies and where there was a sufficient but
limited amount of data for new case studies, synoptic case
studies were written. Extended case studies were organized
according to the following headings:
Overview
Introduction
Curriculum Development/Integration
Pedagogy
Student Assessment
Teacher Professional Development/Guidance
Learning Outcomes/Competencies
Policy Development, Planning and Implementation Aspects
Altogether 30 case studies have been written, including five
synoptic case studies. The case studies form Section 10.
They are organized according to region:
Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of
Independent States: Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Russian
Federation, Turkey
East Asia and the Pacific: Cambodia, Fiji, Indonesia, Lao PDR,
Myanmar, The Philippines
Eastern and Southern Africa: Angola, Lesotho, Madagascar,
Malawi
Industrialized Countries: France, Japan, New Zealand
Latin America and the Caribbean: British Virgin Islands, Chile,
Costa Rica, Cuba, Nicaragua, Peru
Middle East and North Africa: Egypt
South Asia: Bangladesh, Maldives, Nepal
West and Central Africa: Benin, Nigeria
The review and annotation of DRR-related education literature
forms the Annex to the internal version of this document.
The case studies as well as the literature reviewed have been
drawn upon in writing the commentary chapters (Sections 3-9).
In order to summarize the findings, a checklist for the integration
of DRR into school curricula (Section 11) is offered.
