Asian Curriculum Studies, Continental Overview

In recent years, within the educational field, increasing attention has been given to Eastern/Asian traditions and Asian education including curriculum studies. The movement for school-based curriculum development (SBCD) in many Asian countries has called for the reconceptualization of SBCD concepts, restructuring of the context for SBCD, and reculturing the role of stakeholders in SBCD, which endorse the values of grassroots curriculum reforms, participatory decision making, knowledge construction, and student-oriented approaches to learning. These theoretical concerns have been partially addressed by Asian curriculum scholars.
