Understandably this has attracted many policymakers and researchers seeking to emulate this success, but it has also attracted strong criticism and a range of misconceptions of the Japanese and Korean education system. Directly challenging these misconceptions, which are prevalent in both academic and public discourses, this book seeks to provide a more nuanced view of the Japanese and Korean education systems. These include the idea that the highly standardized means of education makes outstanding students mediocre; that this emphasis on memorisation leads to a lack of creativity and independent thinking; that students' successes are a result of supplementary education; and that the Japanese and Korean education systems are homogenous to the point of being one single system. Using empirical data Hyunjoon Park re-evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of the existing education systems and reveals whether the issues detailed above are real or unfounded and misinformed. Offering a balanced view of the evolving and complex nature of academic achievement among Japanese and Korean students, this book will appeal to students and scholars of Asian, international and comparative education, as well as those interested in Asian society more broadly"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in education and society in Asia ;$v3. 606 $aEducation$zJapan 606 $aEducation$zKorea 606 $aAcademic achievement$zJapan 606 $aAcademic achievement$zKorea 606 $aComparative education 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEducation 615 0$aEducation 615 0$aAcademic achievement 615 0$aAcademic achievement 615 0$aComparative education. 676 $a370.95 700 $aPark$b Hyunjoon.$0894389 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465076203321 996 $aRe-evaluating education in Japan and Korea$92257435 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01693aam 2200421I 450 001 9910710204703321 005 20160318082758.0 024 8 $aGOVPUB-C13-3dc8f847cfff0f3a2c9ebdd5c099c34d 035 $a(CKB)5470000002477245 035 $a(OCoLC)945071059 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002477245 100 $a20160318d1983 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 13$aAn acute inhalation toxicological evaluation of combustion products from fire retarded and non-fire retarded flexible polyurethane foam and polyester /$fBarbara C.

The main focus of the book is the interpretation of the phase-field equations for isotropic and anisotropic interfaces based on the advanced Gibbs?Thomson and Herring conditions, respectively. Beginning with the basic ideas behind the extended irreversible thermodynamics, the kinetic phase-field model for slow and arbitrarily fast phase transformations is derived where the unified hodograph equation follows from: ? the sharp interface limit of the diffuse interface or ? the traveling wave solution of the propagating phase field. Under the example of solute trapping and disorder trapping effects, comparing theoretical results with molecular dynamics simulations, and with the analysis of experimental data, the concrete workability of the developed hodograph equation is demonstrated for widest range of driving force in phase transformations. 606 $aMaterials science$xData processing 606 $aCondensed matter 606 $aMetals 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aComputational Materials Science 606 $aStructure of Condensed Matter 606 $aMetals and Alloys 606 $aPhase Transitions and Multiphase Systems 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aMathematical Methods in Physics 615 0$aMaterials science$xData processing. 615 0$aCondensed matter. 615 0$aMetals. 615 0$aThermodynamics. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 14$aComputational Materials Science. 615 24$aStructure of Condensed Matter. 615 24$aMetals and Alloys. 615 24$aPhase Transitions and Multiphase Systems. 615 24$aThermodynamics. 615 24$aMathematical Methods in Physics. 676 $a620.100285 700 $aGalenko$b Peter$01771964 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910835061003321 996 $aPhase Field Theory in Materials Physics$94268308 997 $aUNINA
