311. Task-based teaching and learning in practice: Another problem to solve

By: Chan, Sui Ping Shirley

Document Type: Conference Papers

Year published: 1999

Conference: International Conference on Teacher Education 1999: Teaching Effectiveness and Teacher Development in the New Century (1999: The Hong Kong Institute of Education)
Task-based teaching and learning is one of the major concepts underpinning the recent territory-wide curriculum reform in Hong Kong, namely Target-oriented curriculum. However, some studies show that most of the teachers found the concept of TBL vague (INSTEP 1996; Lam 1996). This paper examines how a group of in-service teachers constructed the meaning of the concept through collaborative planning, implementation and evaluation. It is argued that one of the key factors for the successful implementation of a curriculum innovation is the presence of shared vision and collaborative culture. The paper will draw on data gathered from multiple sources, namely teachers' lesson plans, lesson evaluations, lesson observations and follow-up interviews. The second part of the paper will give a brief report on an experience in collaborative culture. Initial suggestions for the design of school-based staff development programmes to rationalize a curriculum innovation will be made.

313. Development of physical education teacher education in Hong Kong: A problem setting analysis

By: Li, Chung

Document Type: Journal Articles

Source: Journal of Physical Education & Recreation (Hong Kong), 5(2), 21-27, 1999

Year published: 1999

Publisher: Hong Kong Baptist University
Ever since Physical Education (PE) became one of electives in the Teacher Education (TE) programme in 1947, it has gradually developed from a practical and professional oriented subject to a theoretical and academic based discipline in the tertiary institutes in Hong Kong. This paper described the 'selected' historical incidents of the development of PETE in Hong Kong. PETE becomes hegemonic towards scientific bias, health-dominated, technocratic and utilitarian-oriented nowadays. It creates tensions of dichotomised issues between PE and sports science; PE and medical science; theoretical and pedagogical orientation; research and practical basis; scholarly and professional discipline; and technocratic and inquiry focus etc. Its development illustrates the differences in directions, status, functions and practices. It intents to identify problems of the present practices and initiate discussion on alternative directions of the PETE in the coming future.

314. Curriculum mapping as deliberation: Examining the alignment of subject learning outcomes and course curricula

By: Lam, Bick Har; Tsui, Kwok Tung

Document Type: Journal Articles

Source: Studies in Higher Education, 2014

Year published: 2014
This article aims to evaluate the alignment between subject learning outcomes (SLOs) that represent the role of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction (C&I) and the course curricula documents. Content analysis was conducted to map SLOs in the curricula documents of a set of compulsory courses offered by the department of C&I. A hermeneutic perspective was adopted by four academic staff members who were involved in the mapping process, which considers curriculum scrutiny as an opportunity of reflective dialog. Findings suggest that though SLOs were adequately addressed in courses offered in various programs, the coverage and depth of studying SLOs may differ in different programs, such as Bachelor of Education and Post Graduate Diploma in Education. In this study, curriculum mapping was facilitated by deliberative dialog among participants, which made the mapping exercise a validating professional development activity. Implications are discussed. Recommendations regarding curriculum evaluation and teacher training are similarly suggested.

315. Infusing problem solving skills into computer lessons

By: Wong, Tak Wah; Lai, Yiu Chi

Document Type: Journal Articles

Source: ACM SIGCSE Bulletin, 39(4), 84-86, 2007

Year published: 2007

Publisher: Association for Computing Machinery, Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education
In Hong Kong, the coming New Senior Secondary Information and Communication Technology (NSS ICT) curriculum highly emphasizes the complex thinking processes like creativity, critical thinking and problem solving. In this paper, we attempt to use two detailed examples to illustrate how to infuse problem solving skills into computer lessons. It means that classroom time can be spent on the thinking skill as well as on the curriculum content.

316. Problems and issues of the teaching and learning of creativity in Hong Kong schools

By: Hui, Ming Fai Margaret

Document Type: Journal Articles

Source: Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education & Development, 6(1), 103-124, 2003

Year published: 2003

Publisher: Hong Kong Institute of Education
While creativity is now an important skill to be acquired by Hong Kong school pupils, little empirical research has been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the teaching and learning of creativity in the Hong Kong context. Absence is also a knowledge-based critical review of the related problems and issues confronting Hong Kong teachers. Remedying those problems and addressing the issues are necessary to the enhancement of effective teaching and learning of creativity. This paper reviews four fundamental problems and issues, which can be categorized basing on their nature and essence – disciplinary, theoretical, cultural, and managerial – and then presents knowledge-based suggestions and theory-driven solutions, as well as research, professional, and the policy implications.

317. Constraints affecting the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) strategy in university courses

By: Tang, Kim Chow Catherine; Lai, Patrick

Document Type: Book Chapters

Pages: 49-65

Year published: 1999

City published: Hong Kong

Publisher: The Management Committee
The aim of this study was to obtain insight into the effect of a quality assurance system on the implementation of a PBL teaching strategy in courses in three Hong Kong universities. A total of nine research teams (each consisting of a few PBL-tutors) were involved. Before the implementation of PBL, the tutors attended specific orientation and training sessions on PBL. Twenty-one tutors were randomly selected for interview after the implementation. The results indicate that the quality assurance system within most institutions does affect the implementation of PBL. The reliance on research output and a standardised student feedback questionnaire as indicators of staff performance do have a detrimental effect on the implementation of PBL. On the other hand, resources and class size also have a direct effect on the willingness of academic staff adopt the PBL approach in teaching. Finally, student factors also play an important role in the successful implementation of PBL. To be successful PBL tutors need to be supported by a clear message from the university quality assurance system that this is the way to go forward. Without taking this seriously into consideration, one could predict serious difficulties in promoting PBL in the education sector.

320. Developing problem-solving skills in junior secondary science lessons

By: Kwok, Ping Wai; Chan, Man Tak

Document Type: Book Chapters

Pages: 363-371

Year published: 2002

City published: Hong Kong

Publisher: The Hong Kong Institute of Education, Curriculum Development Institute, Education Dept.; Hong Kong Association for Science and Mathematics Education; Hong Kong Association for Design and Technology Education
A new Junior Secondary Science Curriculum (JSSC) has been implemented in Hong Kong since September 2000. Developing pupils' problem-solving skills is one of the main aims of the new curriculum. This case study analyzes how teachers create environments to develop pupils' problem-solving skills through teaching a science theme entitled "The wonderful solvent—water" in Hong Kong junior secondary classrooms. Data were collected from classroom observation and post-lesson interviews. By demonstrating series of events that made up the entire learning experience of the students in classrooms, this article will illustrate how students carried out problem=solving processes, which include generating ideas, making interpretations and judgments, and using strategies to manage the complexity of situations. This study experiments are adopted in science lessons. Finding s also indicated that students are well motivated and their skills can be enhanced if decision-making authorities in designing setups, procedures and ways in solving scientific or technical problems have been devolved to them.
