This edited volume is a state-of-the-art comparison of primary
science education across six East-Asian regions; namely, the
People's Republic of China, Republic of Korea, Republic of China,
Hong Kong SAR, Japan, and Singapore. While news of educational
policies, classroom teaching, assessment, and other educational
innovations here often surface in the international media, this
book brings together for the first time relevant information
regarding educational systems and strategies in primary science in
East Asia. Above all, it is a readable yet comprehensive
survey-readers would have an accurate sense of what has been
accomplished, what has not worked so well, and what remains to be
done. Invited experts in comparative education research and/or
science education also provide commentary by discussing common
themes across the six regions. These types of critical synoptic
reviews add much value by enabling readers to understand broad
commonalities and help synthesize what must surely be a bewildering
amount of very interesting albeit confusing body of facts, issues,
and policies. Education in East Asia holds many lessons (both
positive and negative) to offer to the rest of the world to which
this volume is a timely contribution to the literature.

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.
This edited book is a comprehensive resource for understanding the
history as well as the current status of educational practices in
Singapore. It is a one-stop reference guide to education and
educational issues/concerns here. There are three sections: Part 1
provides a sectorial overview of how education has been organized
in this country such as preschool, special needs, primary and
secondary, and adult education divisions. In Part 2, contributors
critically delve into issues and policies that are pertinent to
understanding education here such as underachievement, leadership,
language education, assessment, and meritocracy to question what
Part 1 might have taken for granted. Part 3 contains the largest
number of contributors because it offers a scholarly examination
into specific subject histories. This section stands out because of
the comparative rarity of its subject matter (history of Physical
Education, Art, Music, Geography Education, etc.) in
Singapore.   Â
