兒童哲學是有關讓幼兒提問一些重要的問題並嘗試由幼兒找尋答案。幼兒在尋找答案給老師時，他們的創意思維便得以提昇，而這情況能配合現時全球化下的新式教育理念的實踐。 傳統的西方觀點認為幼兒與生俱來便擁有探索的意慾，並從而瞭解世界。本研究目的是探討在香港生活環境下的幼師如何透過哲學的範疇，發揮其教學技巧以期提昇香港幼兒的創意表達能力及其創意維度。 研究程序是藉着老師的教學技巧讓五至六歲幼兒透過哲學思考提出問題，從而讓老師瞭解幼兒所提出的答案及其創意維度。研究方法以個案形式搜集及分析。 研究結果顯示在東方文化傳統下的幼師在探究幼兒與哲學的關係時，對創意的看法卻有異於西方傳统下的幼師觀點。 本研究歸納了研究所得而建議認受東，西方文化傳统下的幼師宜多作學術上及研究上的交流以期厘訂一種適合校本取向的幼教創意課程。

Generally speaking, after the Chinese Communist Party had gained political power, the colonial Hong Kong Government intended to resist the spread and influence of communism and to that end implemented Civic Education in Hong Kong. The present study disagrees with this simple description and analysis. The postwar Hong Kong was confronted with the complex Chinese civil war situation while the British maintained their colonial governance. Faced with the rising power of the Communist Party, the victory of the war and the outbreak of the Korean War, the entire geo-political transformation process influenced the administration and strategy of the Hong Kong Government. The question was that did Hong Kong conduct the Nationalist education as civic education before 1949 and under the cultural and educational influence of the Communist across the border? Hong Kong had to implement the embargo policy of the United Nations and the Cold War’s strategy between the capitalist world and the communist blocs. It was not necessary for Civic Education wholly revealing a responding problem but it can partly explain the real situation.

本文將圍繞香港小六「圓」這一課題的教學，探究數學教師可碰到的數學問題及其解答，並透過相關的教學活動，討論一些有關本課題的教學心得。

This research investigated the attitudes of Chinese students toward inclusive education, by dividing the research into two studies with different subgroups included. Study 1 invited 340 secondary students and 129 secondary teachers from 9 mainstream secondary schools in Hong Kong to participate. The Chinese version of the 16-item Attitudes toward Inclusive Education Scale originally developed by Wilczenski⁶⁹ was applied. The results were analyzed at item and variable levels. Hong Kong students had significantly more positive attitudes toward inclusive education than their teachers. However, both groups did not show positive attitudes towards inclusive education. Based on the results of study 1, study 2 tried to cross validate these findings by inviting 135 teachers and 260 students in Macau to participate. As well, study 2 extended the horizon of comparison by inviting 260 parents to participate. They were either the mothers or fathers of the 260 students who participated in study 2. The same scale was applied in study 2 and the results showed that neither the Macau students nor the teachers were particularly positive toward inclusive education. The Macau parents had the more positive attitudes toward inclusive education than the Macau students and teachers. The results from the two studies in Hong Kong and Macau were compared and discussed.

本研究主要針對香港和新加坡之小學數學課程中後設認知﹝又名元認知﹞的培養進行探討。分別比較兩地之小學數學之「課程綱要」及教科書﹝分數範疇﹞中的後設認知培養，並加以評析。本文的撰寫探用文獻分析法與貝瑞岱的比較教育研究方法進行兩地比較。 從研究結果發現，香港有運用多種不同的教學策略以培養學生的後設認知能力，而且教科書中運用各種不同教學策略的題目數目較新加坡多，由此看來，香港具有發展培養後設認知能力的潛力。另外，從比較兩地小學數學課程的過程中，歸納培養學生的後設認知能力的優點與特色，列出值得香港觀摩與學習的地方，以作參考。

This book demonstrates the value of approaching education from a sociological and philosophical perspective. Specifically, it addresses current and long-standing educational issues in the Asia-Pacific region, integrating sociological and philosophical insights with practical applications in four key areas: educational aims, moral education, educational policy, and the East-West dichotomy. It discusses educational aims in terms of rationality, philosophical thinking, and sustainable development and presents the literary, religious, and analytical approaches to moral education. Four educational policies are then considered: Hong Kong's language policy, Hong Kong's policy on the internationalization of education, East Asia's policies on English education, and Australia's policy on teacher education. Different aspects of the East-West dichotomy are analysed: Confucian rationalism versus Western rationalism, Confucian learning culture versus Western learning culture, and Asian research methodology versus Western research methodology. Taken as a whole, the book shows that issues in education are rarely simple, and looking at them from multiple perspectives allows for rich and informed debates. It presents a rare philosophical and sociological analysis of the cultures and experiences of education in the Asia-Pacific region, and promotes research that leads to more culturally rooted educational policies and practice.

The pre-school sector in Singapore and Hong Kong (both British colonies in the past) have traditionally been regulated by two different government organizations : kindergartens come under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education(MOE)/Education Bureau (EB) while child care centres are regulated by Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS)/Social Welfare Department (SWD) respectively. Such a system is not unusual in the international landscape of early child care and education (ECCE) where "education" and "care" are seen as separate and hence, regulated by different government agencies. This paper will trace the historical development of teacher education and development in both the former British colonies. However, the focus of the paper will be on recent initiatives which will be discussed within the context of recent policy changes spearheaded by a Steering Committee on Preschool Education (SCPE) in the late 1990s in Singapore, resulting in outcomes such as the establishment of a Preschool Qualification Accreditation Committee (PQAC) and the development of a recommended curriculum framework Nurturing Early Learners (2003). Parallel developments in Hong Kong could be traced within the context of developments leading to a comprehensive education reform that has impacted on early childhood education as well, with similar outcomes, such as the development of A Guide to Pre-primary Curriculum (1996), subsequently revised in 2006. Another important Hong Kong initiative - the Preschool Education Voucher Scheme - deserves mention. These recent initiatives have resulted in a movement towards enhancing teacher quality and professional development. The question remains: Are these initiatives sustainable?
