Opis

How does culture shape student academic motivation, learning, beliefs, goals, attitudes, and social interactions? Theoretically framed within the 3P (presage, process, and product) model of classroom learning, the empirical study reported in the present Volume assessed the links of values, perceived classroom environment, and approaches to learning of students in Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Australia. Harnessing both quantitative and qualitative methodological advancements, the study sought to unpack the role of culture in shaping student academic behaviours and attainments. The Volume invites readers to consider the importance of viewing broader educational psychological processes from cross-cultural perspectives.
