| Abstract: | This open access book focuses on how to design, implement, and evaluate culturally situated pedagogies in Hong Kong kindergartens, aligned with traditional expectations, values, and norms in Asian societies. The book provides concise, accessible, yet rigorous conceptual and theoretical explanations to underpin and justify teachers' pedagogical choices in kindergarten classrooms. The chapters examine the importance of the various learning areas included in the curriculum framework, discussing specific learning objectives, teaching methodologies, appropriate strategies for curriculum integration, and examples of class activities. Moreover, the chapters suggest practical tips for practitioners (from teachers to principals), teacher educators, and curriculum designers in Hong Kong and other societies with similar socio-cultural characteristics, such as Mainland China, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, and Korea. |
