This volume addresses the pivotal role of feedback in enhancing students' motivation and learning. Through a series of innovative studies, it uncovers the intricacies of how students perceive and utilize feedback, offering practical strategies for educators while bridging the gap between feedback research and classroom practice.The book showcases six outstanding studies that offer unique insights into how teacher feedback influences student learning and achievement, all from the pe...

Confinement and manipulation of photons using microcavities have triggered intense research interest in both basic and applied physics for more than a decade. Prominent examples are whispering gallery microcavities which confine photons by means of continuous total internal reflection along a curved and smooth surface. The long photon lifetime, strong field confinement, and in-plane emission characteristics make them promising candidates for enhancing light-matter interactions on a chip. I...

From the end of the Second World War to the early 1970s, new paradigms began to form in academic, scientific, and professional knowledge in various disciplines and fields—not only in the United States, but also in East Asia.Drawing on a wealth of archival documents from East Asia, Knowledge Production in Cold War Asia focuses on the building and rebuilding of these different forms of knowledge in or about East Asia during the first half of the Cold War. It explores how thi...
