The book captures the developments, challenges and opportunities in
the fields of counselling and career guidance in Asia, highlighting
issues and concerns that are unique to Asian regions as well as
those that are common with other parts of the world. This book
addresses multiple gaps in the counselling and career guidance
literatures: it covers Eastern contexts and includes a focus on the
distinctive needs of rural communities and those of small states.
Gender is a prominent theme as well. The chapters in the book are
diverse in terms of settings and participants, topics, and segments
of the life span. The reader can develop insight about the current
status of the counselling and career guidance fields in Asian
contexts and identify relevant aspects that need change or
strengthening. The guidelines for policy development that have been
suggested in many chapters in this edited volume are of
considerable practical value. The discussions in the book draw
attention to context-specific features as well as underscore themes
that are recurrent across regions and countries. The book has
utility, therefore, for readers from all countries. Counselling and
Career Guidance in Asia will be relevant to students and
researchers interested in educational psychology, counselling
psychology, vocational psychology, career development, human
learning, the learning sciences, and psychological research methods
in education and psychology. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of British Journal of
Guidance & Counselling.
This book addresses in detail a range of issues in connection with
preparing individuals with disabilities or other special needs for
gaining employment and planning a career path beyond school. It
presents strategies for personnel preparation, parent education,
effective programs for career development and transitions, policies
and policy research, and useful tools for assessment and
intervention. The clear explanations of essential theories,
research findings, policies, and practices for career development
ensure that readers gain a deeper understanding of all the issues
involved. Most importantly, they will learn several strategies that
can be used to prepare students for employment within global and
Asia-Pacific regional contexts.

This book offers a comprehensive overview of how inclusion for
students with special educational needs (SEN) has developed and is
continuing to evolve in mainstream schools across the Asia-Pacific
region. The authors provide an applied analysis of inclusive
education in 10 geographical settings, covering legislative,
historical, and cultural perspectives. A diverse range of factors
that influence inclusive policy-to-practice implementation in these
contexts are highlighted, and practical strategies to address some
key issues are put forward. The settings in focus are the Maldives,
Singapore, the Republic of Korea, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao,
Japan, Province of British Columbia Canada, New Zealand, and
Australia.
This report identifies obstacles that high school students with
visual impairment experience in the curriculum areas of Other
Learning Experiences (OLE) and School-based Assessment (SBA) in
mainstream secondary schools in Hong Kong. The report explores and
recommends various solutions for overcoming or minimizing these
obstacles in the context of the new Senior Secondary Curriculum.
Twenty-five participants were interviewed, based on a structured
questionnaire. They were asked to describe all the obstacles they
have encountered in school-based assessment and OLE. They were also
asked to suggest how teachers could minimize their difficulties and
help them cope with obstacles. It was found that most participants
encountered difficulties in OLE. Problems were specifically related
to community service, aesthetic development and physical
development. School-based assessments also presented difficulties,
particularly in three compulsory subjects (Chinese Language,
English Language, Liberal Studies) and the elective subjects of
humanities. Suggestions are made related to increasing and
improving training for teachers, making Braille / soft copies of
reading materials available earlier,
