Learning from Asia in Education: How the West Can Learn from the East in Education in the 21st Century

This book is the outcome of two years of work for the Learning from Asia project, run by the Learning Institute of the Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC) in cooperation with several well-established international educational researchers and Asian doctoral students studying in Hungary.

The chapters of the book are modified versions of papers presented by their authors at the Learning from Asia in Education conference held at MCC’s Budapest Center in Autumn 2023. Within the pages of this book, you will discover novel practices and innovative approaches, shedding light on how the West can learn from the East in education in the 21st century.

The volume is organized into three parts, as follows: a framework, written by the leaders of the Learning from Asia project, conceptualizing its purpose and background; nine expert studies by invited academics, outstanding international experts who share their ideas about Asia–Europe learning; and eight chapters contributed by Asian doctoral students studying in Hungary, who present their research findings using the ‘Asia as method’ approach. The book concludes with an epilogue, reflecting on the whole book and the conception of the Learning from Asia project.
