Introduction

The Asia Pacific region represents a geo-political area that faces specific variables, challenges, and opportunities. It is an area that, despite regional variations and specificities, also shares a great deal of commonalities that bind it as a unique landscape. There is therefore an appeal in examining educational practices, field initiatives, research priorities, policy trends, and theoretical transformations that are unique to this region and set it aside as a rich landscape of innovation and pedagogical transformation.

Objective

This volume seeks to explore pedagogical innovations and trends within the Asia Pacific region. It focuses on all sectors of education, from early childhood to tertiary. There are broad socio-economic and cultural characteristics which bind Asia Pacific nations and help create a specific flavour to teaching and learning in the region. Current Global North educational preoccupations take on a very distinct and specific regional and contextualized dimension when examined in a Global South context, and more specifically in the Asia Pacific landscape. It is expected that this volume will – as a result - discuss how inclusive education, Global Citizenship Education, technology integration, and experiential or constructivist pedagogies will inevitably be embodied widely differently in this geo-political context. This geographical sector also faces specific challenges in relation to sustainable development and these are themes we expect to see examined in this volume. Decolonization and Indigenization of the curriculum are also at play in these nations and teaching and learning innovation increasingly represents a break away from Euro-centric practices; it is hoped that this volume brings many of these trends to the forefront and that it offers emerging scholars a platform to showcase transformative work that is framed within post-colonial theory or some of the emancipatory work flowing from Freire’s work.

Target Audience

This book will be pertinent for a wide range of stakeholders: educators, leaders, parents and community members, students, and policy makers. The volume is expected to offer emerging scholars from the Asia Pacific region an opportunity for visibility, advocacy, and network building. The volume will offer chapters that focus on research, case studies for field implementation, as well as theoretical piece that might shape policy.
