Sommario/riassunto

This book discusses the merits and potential shortcomings of Hong Kong STEM education from Grade 8 to Grade 12. Based on concurrent triangulated mixed-method methodology, which integrates both quantitative and qualitative procedures, it describes various change models and proposes new models that are considered compatible with Western cultures.
