Features: This book consists of nine chapters, aiming to propose that education requires fundamental and systematic paradigm shifts to achieve breakthrough progress in addressing the challenges of globalization, high technology, and social development. Each chapter discusses paradigm shifts in areas such as performance assurance, action learning, learning environment design, curriculum development, school management, fundamental differences in system operations and mindset, as well as variations in teacher effectiveness and school-based management in concepts and research. It also provides insights and experiences on educational paradigm shifts and reforms, drawing on current trends in educational reform in the Asia-Pacific region and a case study from Hong Kong. The paradigm shifts and related concepts proposed by the author hold fresh reference value for the development of students' diverse thinking and creativity, autonomous learning, curriculum development, the design of online learning environments, reforms in school management, research on teacher effectiveness, policy-making, and educational practice. It is hoped that through this book, readers—including teachers, scholars, graduate students, decision-makers, and all individuals concerned with educational development—will achieve breakthroughs in educational practice, research, and development due to paradigm shifts, enabling students to seize the greatest learning opportunities and stride toward a bright future.
