Euro-Asian Encounters on 21st-Century Competency-Based Curriculum Reforms
This book offers a geographically unique cultural comparative lens to examine the issue of transnational curriculum knowledge (re)production. Prompted by the ongoing competency-based curriculum reforms on a global scale, this book examines where global frameworks like the OECDs core competency definitions are rooted and how they are borrowed, resisted, and/or re-contextualized in various European states with a Christian, foremost Protestant educationalcultural heritage and Asian countries with a Confucian educationalcultural heritage. It highlights the roles that various factors, such as history, culture, religious attitudes, ideology, and state governance play in nation-states re-contextualization of global curriculum policies and practices beyond a simplistic and dualistic globalism/power and nationalism/resistance dynamic. In doing so, it provides a global context to better understand individual nation-states continuing curriculum reforms and school practices. At the same time, it situates individual nation-states latest curriculum reforms and practices within an international community for healthy dialogues and mutual sharing. By selecting two educationalcultural systems and wisdomChristian-Protestant and Confucianit also offers a springboard for international curriculum studies beyond the usual confinement of geopolitical nation-state constructs. It not only sheds new light on each nation-states curriculum policies and practices, but also creates new collaboration spaces within similar and across disparate culturaleducational regions. With its wide geopolitical and educationalcultural scope, this book appeals to a global market and can be used in a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses in comparative education, history of education, curriculum theory, school and society, and curriculum history.
