Consistent with international trends, there is an active pursuit of more engaging science education in the Asia-Pacific region. The aim of this book is to bring together some examples of research from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand, being undertaken at a range of levels, from studies of curriculum and assessment tools, to classroom case studies, and investigations into models of teacher professional learning and development. The specific resources and strategies introduced in this book will provide a useful reference for curriculum developers and science educators when they design school science curricula, and for pre-service and in-service science teacher education programmes.
