Given the advancement of information and communications technologies (ICT), a number of ways of building learning communities in schools have been developed in recent years. Realizing the impact of this new learning approach, six primary schools in Hong Kong engaged in building learning communities in science curriculum. During the science project works, students from different schools participated in knowledge construction using Knowledge Forum, a computer mediated communications (CMC) platform. This paper reports the results of the analysis of students' discussion and interviews of students as well as teachers to explore the processes of knowledge construction and the role of ICT from the different ways that students and teachers experienced in building learning communities through Knowledge Forum. Implications for pedagogical change will also be discussed.

2102. Engineering mathematics education - A multi-dimensional interactive approach

By: Lau, Chun Pong; Chau, Tat Chung; Poon, Tat Yung; Tsui, Wai Kin; Li, Herbert E.

Document Type: Conference Papers

Conference: Hong Kong Web Symposium (1999: Hong Kong)
To solve the problem faced by most of the students in Hong Kong who conduct recipe learning, we would like to enhance their understanding by web-based interactive multimedia learning tools. Nevertheless, we find that the existing packages are limited in functionality and user-friendliness. Worst of all, very few of them are Internet-based. Therefore, we develop our own Internet tools, including two-dimensional geometric and vector plotters, a time evolution three-dimensional plotter and an Internet mathematical equation editor. All these tools have the following features: they are &ser-friendly, interactive, dynamic, extendible and Internet based. Hence, they are very suitable to be utilized as teaching tools. A research has been conducted to test their effectiveness. The result shows that students welcome the use of Internet-based learning tools and achieve better understanding after using them. This is of course very rewarding and, thus, we are highly motivated to develop more tools of this kind to supplement the normal lecturing of d4fferent subjects.

2103. Hands across the ocean: Using information technology in a distance education course

By: Messing, John; Chan, Fun Ting

Document Type: Conference Papers

Conference: Hong Kong Web Symposium (1999: Hong Kong)
For nearly 30 intakes over 15 years, Charles Sturt University has delivered a distance education course which operates with Australian and, for the last 6 years, Hong Kong students. Since the course has made extensive use of computer based materials as well as computer mediated communication over that time, some valuable lessons have been learnt. While some of these have to do with institutional and management issues, many are about the differences between theory and practice.
The use of computer mediated communication increases workload rather than relieving it as some might suggest. While in some respects, students may feel that they are getting a better service with electronic communications and materials, there is also a severe penalty to be paid.
On balance, this situation favours the use of such technologies but not sufficiently to result in enthusiastic adoption. A key area involves the examination of how effectively the static and dynamic resources are attuned to the educational needs of the students. Activities which force a synchronisation are poorly received compared to ones which operate asynchronously. Similarly, electronic resources which simply replace existing printed material without a large amount of 'value adding', have also been found to be of dubious value.

2104. The school teachers' website management programme

Conference: Hong Kong Web Symposium (1999: Hong Kong)
The significant increase in recent years in the popularity of the internet, particularly the World Wide Web, has obvious implications for the school sector. Beyond expertise in their own subject areas, teachers now need to become aware of how they may become more proficient users of this new form of electronic media which can help them better achieve their pedagogical aims and objectives. Through their participation in the School Teachers' Website Management Programme (ST- WMP), teachers are learning how to perform all the tasks related to web design and development. This staff development programme for secondary school teachers consists of workshops and hands-on practice in building and maintaining a website dedicated to publishing information about web-related aspects of teaching and learning.
This paper reports on our experience with offering this special programme to secondary school teachers in Hong Kong and also reports on the findings of a survey conducted among participants concerning their experience with using the internet for teaching and learning in their schools.

2106. Text comprehension and conceptual change in science learning

Comprehension skill is an important aspect of conceptual change in science learning. Researches have shown that low academic ability students who received comprehension training can perform just as well as the high academic ability students. Students' comprehension skills can be improved through a number of ways: text construction, multimedia presentation and comprehension strategies. In the present article, I will describe and discuss several ways of improving text comprehension, hence fostering conceptual change, via on-line text reading.

2107. An investigation into non-response cases in online student evaluation of teaching

This paper reported an investigation into the non-response cases in student evaluation of teaching (SET). Data were collected through an online system called COSSET during regular SET exercises and through specially designed questionnaire surveys. Two kinds of response rates were studied. One is sectional (class) response rate which is the percentage of students in a section (class) who successfully complete the SET questionnaire. The other is individual student response rate which is the percentage of SET questionnaires completed by an individual student in a single SET exercise. Results showed that sectional response rates are affected by various factors relating to the data collection process and students' background. Individual student response rates are affected by various factors including students' background and attitudes.

2108. Knowledge building in the absence of teacher facilitation

While the teacher's role is generally recognized to be important in supporting knowledge building, it is an undeniable fact that most teachers do not have a deep understanding of what knowledge building is, or even the experience of engaging in knowledge building. This paper reports on a study of students' collaborative inquiry conducted on Knowledge Forum® under a situation where the teachers were generally supportive of the educational idea but did not have the exp ertise or commitment to engage in sustained facilitation of the learning process. The findings reveal that students will still occasionally be able to engage in knowledge building discourses even without teachers' facilitation. Students' ability to engage in meaningful exploration of ideas depends very importantly on whether they can locate inquiry questions that are within their zone of proximal development. This facilitation role is even more important when the students involved have relatively lower academic achievement.

This paper reported a project that initiated the development of electronic portfolio among in-service teachers of Postgraduate Diploma in Education. Teachers were encouraged to integrate portfolio development process with multimedia strategies, for the purpose of enhancing reflection on learning and teaching, as well as developing IT skills. Teachers' e-portfolios were analyzed to find out the major content teachers tried to include in the portfolios and the different multimedia strategies teachers used in the process of portfolio construction.
