About this book
This book provides an overview of science education
policies, research and practices in mainland China, with specific examples of
the most recent developments in these areas. It presents an insiders’ report on
the status of Chinese science education written primarily by native speakers
with first-hand experiences inside the country. In addition, the book features
multiple sectional commentaries by experts in the field that further connect
these stories to the existing science education literature outside of China.
This book informs the international community about the current status of
Chinese science education reforms. It helps readers understand one of the
largest science education systems in the world, which includes, according to
the Programme for International Student Assessment, the best-performing economy
in the world in science, math and reading: Shanghai, China.
Readers gain insight into how science education in the rest of China compares
to thatin Shanghai; the ways Chinese science educators, teachers and students
achieve what has been accomplished; what Chinese students and teachers actually
do inside their classrooms; what educational policies have been helpful in
promoting student learning; what lessons can be shared within the international
science education community; and much more.
This book appeals to science education researchers, comparative education
researchers, science educators, graduate students, state science education
leaders and officers in the international communities. It also helps Chinese
students and faculty of science education discover effective ways to share
their science education stories with the rest of the world.
