Chapter Two includes the first cross-national study of affective outcomes among middle-school mathematics students in the USA and Hong Kong.

Chapter Three discusses the need for and strategies for incorporating critical thinking, student engagement, and assessment of competency and education in the context of students in healthcare.

Chapter Four argues that the three Chinese Primary School elements of class group space, project-based learning, and student clubs make learning more enjoyable for students and help them form a community of practice.

Chapter Five examines the role of growth mindset in student learning and engagement at community colleges.

Finally, Chapter Six presents a critical review of the existing literature surrounding e-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
