For many people, a high standard for student learning is desirable.
This is what underlies current standard-based science education
reforms around the world. As someone who was born and brought up in
a less-privileged home and educated in a resource-limited school
environment in a developing country, I always had to study hard to
meet various standards from elementary to high school to univ-
sity. My first book in English published over 10 years ago (Liu, X.
[1996]. Mathematics and Science Curriculum Change in the People's
Republic of China. Lewiston, NY: The Edwin Mellen Press) provided
me an opportunity to examine standards (i. e. , Chinese national
science teaching syllabi) from a historical and political point of
view. I argued that standards are developed for particular poli-
cal agendas in order to maintain the privileged position of certain
groups (i. e. , urban residents) in a society at expenses of others
(i. e. , rural residents). Thus, underneath standards is systematic
discrimination and injustice. Since then, I have had opportunities
to study the issue of standards in much more breadth and depth.
This book, Linking Competence to Opportunities to Learn: Models of
Competence and data mining, provides me an opportunity to examine
standards from a different perspective: opportunity to learn.
