Book Description

"You don't need to start taking things seriously until you are in Year 12." We think differently. Catch Up with Top-Achievers: 2019 HSC edition is a new type of study guide designed for high school students, teachers and parents. Catch Up with Top-Achievers: 2019 HSC edition is composed of a series of articles written by past HSC Top-Achievers. They explain their unique approach to their studies with the aim to enlighten and set students on the right path to be better. Unlike many other study guides, which aim to teach the contents of the syllabuses of each subject, the aim of Catch Up with Top-Achievers:2019 HSC edition is to educate students on the processes of studying/learning. Instead of teaching students the contents (specific syllabus points) of a specific subject, the Top-Achievers will explain their general approaches to studying different subjects as well as interpersonal skills. The aim of this book is to encourage the readers to choose and experiment different study strategies and eventually create their own way of studying and reach their maximum potential when performing in the HSC. Each Top-Achiever will: 1. Share key strategies to achieving great HSC results 2. Debunk common myths when it comes to studying 3. Provide you with personal study skills tips (i.e. Time Management) 4. Guide you to answer common exam questions Most importantly, you will learn from those Top-Achievers directly. These tips will not only help you to achieve better HSC results, and they will set you onto the right paths to become a life-long learner. It's time to take control of your academic life.

Book Description

"They were born smart," - a clueless student. Catch Up With Top Achievers: 2020 HSC and Beyond is a collection of articles written by the best performing HSC students in the State - HSC State Rankers. In our study guide, each author outlines their unique and results-driven study strategies. They also provide specific advice towards succeeding in their area of expertise. The practical study methods presented in this book are by no means conventional. Instead, they reflect the reality of what it is to be a student in 2020, and how to best succeed in the HSC whilst still maintaining a sense of balance. In it, we answer many key questions faced by students and parents, such as: WHAT were their strategies for success? HOW did they cope with the stress? WHY did they work so hard? Everything in this book is up to date with the NEW NESA HSC Syllabus. We have also added a Subject Cheat Sheet at the end of each chapter. Many of these students were not top achievers before Year 12, and do not represent an unattainable level of work ethic or intelligence. Truly, if they can do it, you can too! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- A list of contributors in this year's edition: Jesse Caminer - 1st in NSW for English Advanced and Extension Two Sophie Howard - 4th in NSW for Ancient History Adam Gottschalk - 1st in NSW for Biology John Wang - 8th in NSW for Economics Patrick Nah - 3rd in NSW for Economics Matthew Drielsma - 9th in NSW for Earth and Environmental Science Adam Robey - 2nd in NSW for Engineering Studies Lachlan Tran - 1st in NSW for Geography Zair Ahmed - 2nd in NSW for Legal Studies Seohyeong Lim - 3rd in NSW for Modern History Emma Scroope - 1st in NSW for PDHPE Daniel Monteiro and Wenquan Lu - 8th and 1st in NSW for Physics Nicholas Fakira - 4th in NSW Lara Hather - 5th in NSW Finn Vercoe and Tallulah-Rose Adams - 1st and 4th in NSW Julia Lo Russo and Christopher Farag - 5th and 6th in NSW Sarah Kanuk - IB Top Achiever

Book Description

Comparing High-Performing Education Systems provides original insights into the educational structures, ideologies, policies, and practices in Singapore, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. Taking as its basis their global reputation and consistently strong performance in formal assessments, the author provides an in-depth analysis and comparison of these three education systems that draws on cutting-edge research. Chapters explore the dominant cultural and educational norms in Singapore, Shanghai, and Hong Kong to give a wider picture of these high-performing education systems. The performance of students in international large-scale assessments such as Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), and Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) is considered, alongside an exploration of attitudes to schooling, tutoring, and assessment. The book shows how Singapore, Shanghai, and Hong Kong exemplify an East Asian Educational Model (EAEM). Such a model – is rooted in and shaped by Confucian habitus: unconscious and ingrained worldviews, dispositions, and habits that reflect the standards of appropriateness in a Confucian Heritage Culture; aspires high performance: a balance between academic excellence and holistic development; and utilises educational harmonisation: the art of bringing together different and contradictory means and ends to achieve desired educational outcomes. Informative and thought-provoking, this book is a useful reference for policymakers, researchers, educators, and general readers on high-performing education systems, school reforms in East Asia, Confucian influences on education, and cross-cultural policy learning and transfer.

Book Description

While categorization has always been one of the primary focuses of the social sciences, recent trends within these disciplines have tended to categorize various behaviours as disorders. Researching Resilience challenges this tendency to pathologize, and marks a profound shift in research methods from the study of disorder to the study of well-being. This collection assembles qualitative and quantitative studies from a diverse group of scholars and disciplines, stressing the importance of studying the strength and resilience of youth who are faced with adversity. Working with youth in a variety of cultures and contexts, the contributors provide critically astute analyses of existing scholarship as well as rigorous methods for conducting resilience research in less Eurocentric and more culturally sensitive ways. An important collection, Researching Resilience is unique in approaching interventions with youth specifically from the point of view of research methods and challenges.
