Global childhoods: Life-worlds and educational success in Australia and Asia

该项目旨在调查澳大利亚、香港和新加坡的四年级学生(9-10岁)的日常生活世界如何塑造孩子们对教育成功的取向。这项研究位于墨尔本、悉尼、香港和新加坡等全球城市，探索在亚洲世纪成长的儿童的政策背景、学校经历和日常活动之间的联系。这些发现将促进对一些因素的了解，这些因素有助于儿童理解他们在学校内外的经历是如何为他们在全球世界的未来做好准备的。这将使政策制定者、教育工作者和家长能够为儿童的生活提供更好的学习机会。

This project aims to investigate how everyday life-worlds of year four students (nine-ten years of age) in Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore shape children’s orientations to educational success. Situated in the global cities of Melbourne, Sydney, Hong Kong and Singapore, the study explores connections between policy contexts, school experiences and everyday activities of children growing up in the Asian Century. Findings will advance knowledge of factors that contribute to children’s understandings of how their experiences in and out of school prepare them for futures in a global world. This will enable policy-makers, educators and parents to provide improved learning opportunities in children’s lives.
