Course Contents/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome
This course will introduce learners to various socio-cultural issues and debates impacting schools, universities and education systems in Asia Pacific societies.
Taking a case study perspective, we will examine a range of issues facing Asia Pacific societies. These are subject to change but will likely include:
- Debate and discussion of the cultural and philosophical ideas that have shaped education in East Asia.
- Exploration of debates about the purposes of formal schooling, and the role of shadow education (cram schools/private tutoring) in various Asia Pacific contexts.
- Consideration of how education is used as a political tool to shape national identities through moral, civic, and history curricula.
- Exploration of the tensions between nationalism, internationalization of education and globalization in Asia Pacific contexts.
- Comparison of cultural approaches to early childhood education in Eastern and Western cultures.
- Looking at developments in higher education in the region, including participation rates, rising research outputs, regional collaboration, and the possibilities for study abroad to contribute to peace and stability among East Asian countries
- Consideration of issues of diversity and inclusion with regard to ethnic, gender and sexual minorities in Asia Pacific contexts
