Social Studies Education in East Asian Contexts
«
'Currently, interest in the education systems of some countries in East Asia focuses on how they produce students who outperform their counterparts in Western countries on international tests in areas such as Mathematics, Science and Reading. Yet little is known about the nature of social studies education and the significant influence it plays in inducting young people in Asia into the social, moral, cultural and political values of a society. This edited volume provides a unique insight into a highly significant but little known aspect of Social Studies Education in East Asia’s high performing education systems. It offers rich and unique insights from experts in the field on mandated social studies curriculum from selected Asian societies, together with perspectives on the characteristics and role of social studies education in an increasingly volatile 21st century context.' - Deborah Henderson, Associate Professor, Faculty of Education, Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Brisbane, Australia.
