Coda. 330 $aThis edited volume is a state-of-the-art comparison of primary science education across six East-Asian regions; namely, the People?s Republic of China, Republic of Korea, Republic of China, Hong Kong SAR, Japan, and Singapore. While news of educational policies, classroom teaching, assessment, and other educational innovations here often surface in the international media, this book brings together for the first time relevant information regarding educational systems and strategies in primary science in East Asia. Above all, it is a readable yet comprehensive survey?readers would have an accurate sense of what has been accomplished, what has not worked so well, and what remains to be done. Invited experts in comparative education research and/or science education also provide commentary by discussing common themes across the six regions. These types of critical synoptic reviews add much value by enabling readers to understand broad commonalities and help synthesize what must surely be a bewildering amount of very interesting albeit confusing body of facts, issues, and policies. Education in East Asia holds many lessons (both positive and negative) to offer to the rest of the world to which this volume is a timely contribution to the literature. 410 0$aContemporary Trends and Issues in Science Education,$x1878-0784 ;$v47 606 $aScience$xStudy and teaching 606 $aInternational education 606 $aComparative education 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aLearning, Psychology of 606 $aTeachers$xTraining of 606 $aScience Education 606 $aInternational and Comparative Education 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics 606 $aInstructional Psychology 606 $aTeaching and Teacher Education 615 0$aScience$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aInternational education. 615 0$aComparative education. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aLearning, Psychology of. 615 0$aTeachers$xTraining of. 615 14$aScience Education. 615 24$aInternational and Comparative Education. 615 24$aEducational Policy and Politics. 615 24$aInstructional Psychology. 615 24$aTeaching and Teacher Education. 676 $a372.35044 702 $aLee$b Yew-Jin$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aTan$b Jason$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299512403321 996 $aPrimary Science Education in East Asia$92520905 997 $aUNINA
