Lau, Kwok Chi – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2014
The study has integrated the data from PISA 2006 to 2012 to give an overall picture of the cognitive and affective performances and pedagogy of East Asian regions on PISA scientific literacy. Attempts are made to account for their performances based on the PISA data and cultural characteristics. The cognitive science performance of East Asian…

State and local budget…
