Liu, Vivienne Yi-Yu; Lim, Sok Mui – Asia Pacific Journal of Education, 2022
Although the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) has been extensively adapted worldwide, work on the generalizability of the original English BRS to Asian populations remains limited. This research evaluated the psychometric properties of the English BRS through two studies with Singaporean undergraduate freshmen (Study 1 n = 839; Study 2 n = 1,068)…

Twenty-one research papers on lesson and learning studies (LLS) based on Asian experiences were selected for this review.

In Asia, in order to keep up with internationalization, the English-Medium Instruction (EMI) course has become a phenomenon in higher education. In turn, EMI literature has increasingly focused on the role of instructor's pedagogy in reducing students' negative response to EMI courses. Additionally, we further explore, from the students'…

Recent rapid increase in the number of Australians of Asian backgrounds has significantly altered the demographic mosaic in schools.

Baildon, Mark; Alviar-Martin, Theresa – Asia Pacific Journal of Education, 2020
This paper analyzes global education policy and curricular documents in Singapore and Hong Kong. Using a discursive approach, we characterize curricular aims through various cosmopolitan perspectives. We posit that although touted as Asian global cities, Singapore and Hong Kong are cases where neoliberal and nation-centric educational agendas have…

Yuen, Celeste Y. M.; Leung, Cheung-Shing Sam – Asia Pacific Journal of Education, 2019
Investigations into the role of religiosity among Muslim youth have been undertaken mainly by international scholars in the West. To fill the knowledge gap, we use original qualitative data to examine empirically an under-research area of belonging and identity of the new generation of Muslim youth in Hong Kong. The narratives review lives of…

de Roock, Roberto Santiago; Espeña, Darlene Machell – Asia Pacific Journal of Education, 2018
This paper offers insights into the referencing of Singapore within the US Obama Administration educational discourse, underscoring the political-material-discursive nexus of international educational benchmarking. Using critical discourse analysis, we find that an objectified Singapore functions as a rhetorical tool of US policymaker agendas,…

Alexander, Mariko Mizuno – Asia Pacific Journal of Education, 2016
While there is a growing presence of trans-Pacific migrant students in the US, relatively little attention has been given to the diversity among them in terms of their everyday experiences and future educational trajectories shaped by different patterns of transnational mobilities and practices. This paper addresses the distinctive educational…

Shum, Mark; Gao, Fang; Ki, Wing Wah – Asia Pacific Journal of Education, 2016
The enactment of the revised School Places Allocation Systems at the compulsory stage in 2004 had the aim of desegregating Hong Kong's non-Chinese linguistic minority (NCLM) students by including them into ethnic Chinese-dominated mainstream primary and secondary schools. Because of the presumed cause-consequence relationship between…

Liyanage, Indika; Walker, Tony; Singh, Parlo – Asia Pacific Journal of Education, 2015

In…
