This chapter looks some of the theoretical views about the learning process. The authors examine recent curriculum reforms in Hong Kong and identify what kinds of learning are promoted in these reforms. They then move on to discuss questions of the contexts in which learning takes place, including: (1) What is learning? (2) How does learning occur? (3) What should be learnt? and (4) Who should make decisions about learning?Less

The four traditions constituting the bulk of this book are from Western Europe. This chapter expands the analysis to look at four other administrative traditions. One is Central and Eastern Europe. Some countries in this region have been heavily influenced by Western European traditions, especially those of the former Hapsburg Empire, but they also display a number of distinctive features. A second tradition is Islamic administration, which has been influenced both by religion and by national cultures. Third, there is Asian public administration, and the question of the importance of the Confucian model is a central question when dealing with this tradition. Finally, there is administration in Latin America, still influenced by its Iberian past but which has been influenced also by the Napoleonic tradition and to a lesser extent by the United States. The same elements of administrative traditions used in reference to Western European countries are applied to these four traditions.Less
