Drawing on in-depth interviews, this text examines how Asian
American teachers in the US have adapted, persisted, and resisted
racial stereotyping and systematic marginalization throughout their
educational and professional pathways. Utilizing critical
perspectives combined with tenets of Asian Critical Race Theory,
Kim and Hsieh structure their findings through chapters focused on
issues relating to anti-essentialism, intersectionality, and the
broader social and historical positioning of Asians in the US.
Applying a critical theoretical lens to the study of Asian American
teachers demonstrates the importance of this framework in
understanding educators' experiences during schooling, training,
and teaching, and in doing so, the book highlights the need to
ensure visibility for a community so often overlooked as a "model
minority", and yet one of the fastest growing racial groups in the
US. This text will benefit researchers, academics, and educators
with an interest in the sociology of education, multicultural
education, and teachers and teacher education more broadly. Those
specifically interested in Asian American history and the study of
race and ethics within Asian studies will also benefit from this
book.
The book is a collection of texts by the late former President of
the Republic of Korea and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Kim Dae-jung,
along with contributions by other authors including the late former
President of the Federal Republic of Germany, Richard von
Weizsacker. The manuscript aims to explore the significance of the
combination of a cosmopolitan vision and an Asian identity found in
the political thoughts of Kim. This book holds special significance
as it is edited by Professor Sang-Jin Han, one of Kim's most
trusted political advisors, as well as longtime friend - with their
relationship stretching back to way before Kim was elected
president. As one of Korea's leading intellectuals, Professor Han
is best positioned to make the most out of the material since he
simultaneously holds the privilege of a close personal relationship
with Kim as well as expert scholarly understanding of its academic
and philosophical value.
The ultimate guide for using graphic novels in any middle school or

both fiction and non-fiction. Whether teachers are new to graphic
novels or have been working with them for years, this book will
help improve instruction. Chapters ell us how to teach with graphic
novels, focusing on how disciplinary literacy can inform graphic
novel instruction; how readers should consider text, image, and the
intersection of the two when reading a graphic novel; and how
graphic novels can encourage critical response and
interdisciplinary instruction. Throughout the book, the authors
illustrate important teaching concepts with examples from recent
graphic novels. Appendices offer recommendations of graphic novels
ideal for different disciplines. Teachers who are serious about
using graphic novels effectively in the classroom will find this
book invaluable.

This book describes a comparative study of the primary science
learning objectives (from the cognitive domain) in the curriculum
of six high-achieving East Asian states - mainland China, Hong
Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Japan and Singapore. Specifically, the authors
use one of the most widely accepted and useful tools in curriculum
research - revised Bloom's Taxonomy. This is the first time that
such findings from all six states have been published in one place
and the results are valuable for policymakers, educators and
researchers around the globe. Our new English translations of the
primary science learning objectives in China, Taiwan and Korea will
also greatly facilitate future analyses of these curricula.
In contemporary society, science constitutes a significant part of
human life in that it impacts on how people experience and
understand the world and themselves. The rapid advances in science
and technology, newly established societal and cultural norms and
values, and changes in the climate and environment, as well as, the
depletion of natural resources all greatly impact the lives of
children and youths, and hence their ways of learning, viewing the
world, experiencing phenomena around them and interacting with
others. These changes challenge science educators to rethink the
epistemology and pedagogy in science classrooms today as the
practice of science education needs to be proactive and relevant to
students and prepare them for life in the present and in the
future. Featuring contributions from highly experienced and
celebrated science educators, as well as research perspectives from
Europe, the USA, Asia and Australia, this book addresses
theoretical and practical examples in science education that, on
the one hand, plays a key role in our understanding of the world,
and yet, paradoxically, now acknowledges a growing number of
uncertainties of knowledge about the world. The material is in four
sections that cover the learning and teaching of science from
science literacy to multiple representations; science teacher
education; the use of innovations and new technologies in science
teaching and learning; and science learning in informal settings
including outdoor environmental learning activities. Acknowledging
the issues and challenges in science education, this book hopes to
generate collaborative discussions among scholars, researchers, and
educators to develop critical and creative ways of science teaching
to improve and enrich the lives of our children and youths.

Redefining Multicultural Families in South Korea provides an
in-depth look at the lives of families in Korea that include
immigrants. Ten original chapters in this volume, written by
scholars in multiple social science disciplines and covering
different methodological approaches, aim to reinvigorate
contemporary discussions about these multicultural families.
Specially, the volume expands the scope of “multicultural
families†by examining the diverse configurations of families
with immigrants who crossed the Korean border during and after the
1990s, such as the families of undocumented migrant workers,
divorced marriage immigrants, and the families of Korean women with
Muslim immigrant husbands. Second, instead of looking at immigrants
as newcomers, the volume takes a discursive turn, viewing them as
settlers or first-generation immigrants in Korea whose
post-migration lives have evolved and whose membership in Korean
society has matured, by examining immigrants’ identities, need
for political representation, their fights through the court
system, and the aspirations of second-generation immigrants.

2021 There is an increasing trend in teachers using graphic novels
to get their students excited about reading and writing, using both
original stories and adaptations of classic works by authors such
as Homer, Shakespeare, and the Brontes. However, there is
surprisingly little research available about which pedagogies and
classroom practices are proven to be effective. This book draws on
cutting-edge research, surveys and classroom observations to
provide a set of effective methods for teaching with graphic novels
in the secondary English language arts classroom. These methods can
be applied to a broad base of uses ranging from understanding
literary criticism, critical reading, multimodal composition, to
learning literary devices like foreshadowing and irony. The book
begins by looking at what English language arts teachers hope to
achieve in the classroom. It then considers the affordances and
constraints of using graphic novels to achieve these specific
goals, using some of the most successful graphic novels as
examples, including Maus; Persepolis; The Nameless City; and
American Born Chinese and series such as Manga Shakespeare.
Finally, it helps the teacher navigate through the planning process
to figure out how to best use graphic novels in their own
classroom. Drawing on their extensive teaching experience, the
authors offer examples from real classrooms, suggested lesson
plans, and a list of teachable graphic novels organized by purpose
of teaching.

Machine Design Using the Mechanical Design Toolbox provides
students with a brief and accessible introduction to key concepts
related to machine design, as well as practical exercises that
teach them how to effectively use the Mechanical Design Toolbox
(MDT). The MDT allows students to conduct both design analysis and
synthesis of a machine component in an interactive fashion. This
unique approach emphasizes creativity, critical thinking, and
problem-solving rather than focusing on complex computations that
can hamper student learning. Each chapter presents essential
underlying mechanical principles associated with machine
components. Students review design examples and are challenged to
solve a series of problems both by hand and using the MDT,
providing them with the opportunity to become familiar with the
functionality of the toolbox. Dedicated chapters explore 2D and 3D
stress analysis using Mohr's circle diagrams, various stress
analysis tools, static and fatigue failure theories, shafts,
fasteners, springs, belt drives, gears, bearings, and more. The
final chapter provides three design projects that challenge
students to apply what they've learned and test their knowledge in
integrating designs of various machine components within the
context of a mechanical system. Embracing contemporary pedagogy and
technology, Machine Design Using the Mechanical Design Toolbox is
an ideal resource for courses in mechanical engineering and machine
design.
