A volume in Research on Sociocultural Influences on Motivation and
Learning Series Editors: Dennis M. McInerney, Nanyang Technological
University, Singapore Shawn Van Etten, University of Massachusetts,
Dartmouth Our highly interconnected global education environment
provides unprecedented opportunities for teaching professionals and
educational researchers to share best practice in teaching and
learning across international borders and sociocultural frontiers.
This volume presents a diverse range of innovative educational best
practices from around the world -- particularly those practices
that directly strengthen and enhance student motivation and
achievement in a broad range of sociocultural contexts.These
practices include: enhancing teaching and learning environments,
particularly in relation to provision of high quality
infrastructure for 21st Century (digital) learning; designing and
managing after-school homework support; recruiting, developing and
retaining high-quality teaching staff; promoting international and
multicultural awareness through deliberate exposure to varied
cultural experiences and perspectives; optimizing the benefit of
project work for student academic and social outcomes; designing
educational interventions based on self-concept research; and
developing an international service learning course for tertiary
students. The editors of the present volume have gathered over
thirty renowned educators and researchers from Asia, Australia,
Europe, and the United States, to share their experiences in
developing best practices in teaching and learning in
socioculturally and educationally diverse contexts. These
practices, guided and underpinned by cutting edge
educational/psychological theories and research, are believed to be
adaptable to many diverse educational and sociocultural
contexts.The editors invite researchers, professionals, educators,
teachers, lecturers, policy-makers, and curriculum developers to
think, reflect, and take action on how to utilize the underlying
principles of the best practices in the present Volume to their own
settings.

Students arrive in our classrooms with complex sociocultural
histories that include family, cultural, physical, social,

to examine research on effective schooling from a sociocultural
perspective - with a focus on developing the capacities of diverse
students in diverse educational contexts. The chapters in this
volume cover a wide range of important topics as listed below
