Education reform has become a highly political issue in the Hong
Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) since the transfer of
sovereignty to the People's Republic of China (PRC). Lo and Hung
focus on the political struggles among stakeholders, including the
government of Hong Kong, the Catholic Church, parents, students,
teachers, the central authorities of Beijing, and even the
bureaucratic politics between Beijing, the Hong Kong government and
the Examination Authority. They examine the key elements of
education reform in the HKSAR, including language and curriculum
reform, national security education, civic and patriotic education,
the rise of the pro-Beijing education elites and interest groups,
and the revamp of examination questions and examination authority.
The entire education reform in the HKSAR has pushed the Hong Kong
education system toward a process of mainlandization, making Hong
Kong's education system more similar to the mainland system with
emphasis on political "correctness" in the understanding of Chinese
national security, history and culture. Highlighting the political
struggles among the various stakeholders, this book is essential
for scholars of Hong Kong and China, especially those with an
interest in the relationship between education and politics.
'Dr Bob was our pediatrician. If we could trust him with our kids,
you can trust him with how to learn better. I discovered many
surprising truths about learning in this book, so follow the
scientific research and become a better learner.'Guy
KawasakiBestselling book author, chief evangelist of Canva and
creator of the 'Remarkable People' podcast Most 'how to learn'
books focus only on study techniques. However, knowing these study
techniques doesn't guarantee they will be successfully implemented.
Based on Professor Kamei's popular undergraduate course at the
National University of Singapore, the author shares his unique
perspective as an educator and physician to provide a strategic
approach to learning that will benefit all students looking to
optimize their learning.His extensive experience with helping
students with their studies has identified a wide variety of
reasons why they were not learning properly. What throws many
learners off is that they hold certain myths that result in poor
study habits. Learners who understand the truth behind these myths
can use this knowledge to better plan their study and have an
advantage over others that don't.Furthermore, modifying your study
methods won't make much difference if you are too sleepy to learn
or lack the motivation and self-discipline to pick up a book. These
foundational aspects of learning also need to be solidly in place.
This book takes learners through the author's holistic method to
help students learn better and meet whatever learning challenges
they face.Learners of all ages who wish to optimize their learning
will benefit from this book, as well as educators seeking an
approach to help their students learn better.Related Link(s)
Containing method descriptions and step-by-step procedures, the
Spatial Epidemiological Approaches in Disease Mapping and Analysis
equips readers with skills to prepare health-related data in the
proper format, process these data using relevant functions and
software, and display the results as mapped or statistical
summaries. Describing the wide range of available methods and key
GIS concepts for spatial epidemiology, this book illustrates the
utilities of the software using real-world data. Additional topics
include geographic data models, address matching, geostatistical
analysis, universal kriging, point pattern analysis, kernel
density, spatio-temporal display, and disease surveillance.
