This book examines connections between policy contexts, school
experiences and everyday activities of children growing up in the
global city of Singapore. In particular, it explores how Singapore
children's everyday experiences inside and outside of school shape
their orientations towards educational success. Alongside an
analysis of school life and educational policies, it also considers
children's out-of-school activities, including leisure, homework,
and enrichment activities, and connections between these and their
school-based activities. The book draws on empirical data from
Primary 4 classes in two Singapore schools in the form of
student-completed surveys, classroom ethnographies, student
responses to a learning dialogues activity, and a re-enactment of
one child's out-of-school life, as well as curriculum and policy
analysis. It provides readers with an in-depth understanding of
Singapore Primary 4 children's experiences inside and outside of
school, including the structure of timetables and pedagogical
approaches encountered in school lessons, children's enjoyment of
activities inside and outside of school, children's engagement and
wellbeing at school, and the impact of Singapore's educational
policies on children's learning experiences. Moving beyond a
simplistic focus on Singapore children's academic performance in
international high-stakes testing, the book offers a comprehensive
exploration of their lives inside and outside of school. This
holistic approach is unique in the Singapore context and
contributes to a greater understanding of children's everyday lives
in the city.
