Many societies, including Hong Kong, allow for outsourcing curriculum delivery to third parties using government funds (state-funded ed-outsourcing). Previous research conducted in other contexts at the respective levels of government and schools suggests that outsourced education perpetuates or even aggravates the educational inequity observed in overall education. However, empirical research documenting the interaction between government policies and school-level practices is very limited, especially in the Asian context. Considering the great role played by context in shaping the impact of a policy, there is a need for research that addresses this gap. This paper, drawing on government documents on relevant policies as well as reports on grant use allocated for ed-outsourcing from a third of Hong Kong secondary schools, shows that while the government is trying to ensure educational equity through ed-outsourcing, some equity-related issues have remained. It also identifies the factors contributing to the equity landscape around ed-outsourcing and presents policy suggestions to ensure the equity of education provided in partnership with third parties.

The psychological construct of self-efficacy plays a salient role in students’ pursuit of a career path. Career-related self-efficacy is strongly associated with life satisfaction and emotional well-being. Most of what is known about this construct has come from research with mainstream students in the West, and considerably less attention has focused on students with special educational needs. The limited knowledge we have of SEN students’ career-related self-efficacy may be due to lack of appropriate assessment instruments with sound psychometric properties that can be used across cultures. This chapter reports steps taken to validate such an instrument, the Career Development Self-Efficacy Inventory (CD-SEI), for assessing career life skills self-efficacy in SEN students. The authors describe the use of a short form of CD-SEI in Hong Kong with a sample of SEN students and a comparison group without special needs. Theoretical and practical implications of using this instrument to assess career life skills self-efficacy of SEN students are discussed in light of current career development theories.

我國於2019年提出《粵港澳大灣區發展規劃綱要》(簡稱《規劃綱要》)方案，提出九個城市以及香港和澳門特別行政區作為區域發展的核心引擎，並藉著這些核心城市和港澳地區的發展，帶動周邊城市和區域的發展。從區域教育發展以及國際趨勢等角度來看，粵港澳大灣區的人才發展宜具有國家及區域意識及國際視野，宜注重科技與人文雙重取向；鼓勵粵港澳學校合作交流，共建院校研究基地；樹立多元化灣區教育合作理念，在科研、教育、經濟發展和人才培養等方面達至協同共贏效果。 China put forward the "Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area" in 2019, proposing nine cities and Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions as the core engines for regional development, promoting as well the growth of the surrounding cities and regions. Through the analysis of regional education development and international trends, this paper discusses personnel training in the Greater Bay Area. The development of talents in this Area should have both a national and regional awareness and an international perspective, and be oriented towards both humanities and science and technology. Cooperation and exchanges between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao schools should be encouraged, so as to build joint research centers among institutions. A diversified concept of educational cooperation should be established to achieve win-win results in scientific research, education, economic development and personnel training.

教學模式和教材應當創新，這種創新是「帶有目的」的，即為了讓學生更好地，並且更快樂地掌握中國語文能力，體會中華文化之美。本書收錄了十篇討論如何在語文與文化教學使用多媒體科技的論文及教材，作者既有香港教育大學人文學院專研語文教育的學者、也包括資深或新晉的前線中、小學老師，期望為學界提供兼備理論基礎和實踐分析的示例，拓闊中國語文教與學的視野，並聯繫香港中國語文教育「知識」、「共通能力」、「價值觀和態度」等核心理念，通過語文教育，呈現中華文化特色。Copyright © 2020 學術專業圖書中心.

當前，在學校教育中環境教育日益受到重視。環境教育旨在讓學生認識環境、在環境中學習、關心環境。香港的《學校環境教育指引》確定了學校環境教育的目標，學校的正規課程和非正規課程均在環境教育中扮演重要角色。澳門教育司成人署積極組織各種環境教育活動，澳門教師對推行學校環境教育的目標和方向表示同意。進一步推動環境教育，應該強化持續發展的概念，在課程與教學上處理好地方環境教育與國情環境教育的關係，加強港澳地區與國內外同行的交流。 Copyright © 1997 首都師範大學學報編輯部.

課程實施是課程改革取得成功的關鍵因素之一。本文試圖透過目標為本課程這個案例，從改革特性、整體策略、教師發展、資源提供、學校行政和教師文化等幾方面，剖析影響香港課程實施的諸多因素。研究表明，雖然政府已經意識到課程實施的重要性，並採取了一些相應措施，但是許多不利因素依然存在。因此，此項改革的課堂實施情況，與改革的理想之間，還存在巨大的反差。目標為本課程，遠非一項成功的改革。 Copyright © 2006 華東師範大學.

成功的教育變革，取決於多種因素，包括：變革的規模和複雜性適中，易於操作；變革的策略是民主的、問題解決式的；通過各種靈活的方式發展教師的知識和信念；教師能夠從變革中獲取利益；學校行政的支持和教師文化的配合。成功變革的指標，應該是該項變革制度化、持續化，整合成為學校的常規。 Copyright © 2002 華南師範大學.

要進一步完善課程與教學改革，我們必需加強理論與實踐的對話。本文第一部分探討課程與教學理論與實踐之間的關係，以及兩者出現差距的原因；第二部分探討實踐者研究（或教師研究）作為強化理論與實踐的對話之一個取向，並根據有關文獻探究，將實踐者研究的目的、與學術研究的關聯、溝通方式組成一個初步架構，亦會討論香港一些實踐者研究（如行動研究）的例子；第三部分探討課程與教學理論工作者的研究取向如何在實踐層面有助於課程與教學改革，並對學術的理解，以及大學與學校建立夥伴關係的定位作一審視。To further improve curriculum and instructional reforms, we need to strengthen the dialogue between theory and practice. This article is divided into three parts. The first part explores the relationship between curriculum and instructional theories and practices as well as reasons behind the discrepancy between theory and practice. The second part discusses the practitioner research (or teacher research) as one of the approaches for reinforcing the dialogue between theory and practice. This part refers to Zeichner and Noffke’s literature review and formulates an initial framework based on the components of purposes, relevance with academic research, and modes of communication. Examples of practitioner research (e.g., action research) in Hong Kong will be discussed. The third part highlights how the research approach of experts on curriculum and instructional theories (scholars) enhances curriculum and instructional reforms as well as examines the understanding of scholarship (e.g., Boyer’s scholarships of discovery, integration, application and teaching) and the orientations of university and school partnerships.
