This book discusses how East Asia has introduced school and
curricular reform to reflect democratic citizenship and globalized
skills, knowledge, dispositions, and competencies in the 21st
century. It also focuses on the tendencies and reasons students
from Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore receive the
highest scores in international students' assessment such as PISA
and TIMSS; yet their curiosity and motivation for learning are the
lowest internationally. Moreover, Indonesian and Vietnamese
students are likely to receive the lowest testing scores, yet their
motivation for learning is quite high. It is worth investigating
high academic achievement in East Asia in light of the trend
towards democratization. The authors consider controversial issues
such as whether the goals of democratic education should be the
attainment of high academic scores, consideration of whether to
implement competency-based curriculums or meritocratic systems of
academic competition, and the provision of equal opportunities in
the community of learning. The book illuminates each country's
struggle to realise school reform on the basis of its social and
cultural settings, and looks at what connects East Asia's past,
present, and future.
