Developing Future-ready Learners for a Global Age

Suzanne S. Choo, Woon Chia Liu, and Bee Leng Chua offer a dynamic look into the tripartite relationship between education research, policy, and practice that characterizes Singapore’s changing education landscape. Over the years, Singapore has garnered increasing attention internationally for its world-class education system. Pushing back against the stereotypical notions of exam- and teacher-centric education in Asia, the contributors to this volume discuss opportunities as well as challenges in Singapore’s innovation towards constructivist, critical, culturally responsive, and cosmopolitan forms of learning. Highlighting the pedagogical innovation and its context in Singapore’s teacher education and schools, the authors bridge theory and practice by providing an understanding of innovative practices informed by key shifts in Singapore's education policies and the key conceptual principles informing these practices. More importantly, it provides on-the-ground empirical insights into the ways these innovative pedagogical practices are enacted in the classroom and in teacher education programmes. Each chapter provides an in-depth understanding of how these pedagogies are applied across various subject disciplines, including guided problem-solving in Mathematics, games-based pedagogy in Science, multimodal literacies in language, ethical criticism in Literature, Nonlinear Pedagogy in Physical Education, multicultural approaches in music, and dialogic pedagogy in drama, among others. Balancing theoretical and empirical focus, this resourceful text will be of interest to students, researchers, and practitioners in educational development, pedagogy, and teacher education, as well as policymakers across international fields in education.

Sustainable Approaches in Spatial Design

Sustainability attracts the attention of spatial design disciplines and other academics. The spatial design and structural activities of sustainability have three main sections, which are ecological, economic, and socio-cultural sustainability. These sections take into account factors such as the life cycle of people and materials, the influence of different lifestyles, and energy consumption. The insights from sustainability have important implications for housing models that balance flexibility, sustainability, and cultural relevance. Sustainable Approaches in Spatial Design explores the shifting changes in the dynamics of and environmental concerns surrounding the rapid increase in urbanization. It highlights the need for mindful consumption in diverse geographical and socio-economic settings to support global sustainability. Covering topics such as cost-effective sampling, greenhouse gas (GHG), and daylight calculation methods, this book is an excellent resource for architects, urban planners, policymakers, sustainability experts, engineers, economists, sociologists, professionals, researchers, scholars, academicians, and more.
