背景：香港中文科課程改革提倡以學生為主體的教學，建議教師避免過多採用灌輸的方式。
目的：本研究的要旨有二：(1)探討教師的教學信念類型、教學方式及兩者的關係，(2)教師的信念與教學方式能否配合新中文課程改革。
調查對象：邀請六位中學中文教師參與。
調查方法：以半結構式訪談、觀課及檔分析蒐集資料。
調查結果：研究發現教師持「傳授觀」教學信念以詳述範文為教學主要任務，多採用講述的方式教學，較少安排小組活動；而持「啟發觀」教學信念的教師傾向綜合讀寫聽說教學，除了運用講述的策略外，還安排各類活動促進學生學習。
總結：研究結果對課程設計、課程實施有很大的啟示，建議開辦發展改變教師教學信念的課程。
Background: There is a call for learner-centred approach in the new Chinese Language Curriculum of Hong Kong, teachers are advised not to overuse didactic strategy.
Aims: This study serves two aims: (1) To examine teachers' teaching beliefs, teaching approaches, and their relationship. (2) Do teachers' teaching beliefs and their teaching approaches meet the requirement of the new Chinese Language curriculum reform?
Sample: Six secondary Chinese teachers were invited to be informants.
Method: Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations and document analysis.
Results: This study found that the major concern of teachers with transmission view was to interpret prescribed texts in length; they were unlikely to arrange group activities. For teachers with heuristics view, they believed that integrating reading, writing, listening and speaking were desirable in learning. Apart from delivering lectures to students, they organized a variety of activities to facilitate students' learning.
Conclusion: The results of this study have important implications to curriculum design and implementation. It is suggested that teacher education of conceptual change should be developed.

背景：西方學者利用多元感官理論啟發，曾得到不俗的效果。但這教學法是否適用於中文寫作、是否能增強學生在各種文體中的表現則從未受到廣泛研究。
目的：測試以多元感官寫作教學法提高中文寫作的效能。
樣本：兩班修讀副學士的學生，分別接受前測、教學和後測 (N = 55)。
方法：本研究採用實驗方法，兩班學生皆接受多元感官寫作教學，學習的文體為描寫文和抒情文，各兩課節(每節課3小時，共12小時)。前測、後測均由同一老師評核。分析採用2 (時間) x 2 (文體)重複評核方差分析(repeated-measures ANOVA)。
結果：兩個主要結果均見成效，唯兩者間的的交互作用則並不顯著。
結論：證實感官寫作教學能有效地提升學生書寫描寫和抒情文。
Background: Western researchers have demonstrated that the multi-sensory approach to creative writing is effective in enhancing essay writing. However, this approach has never been tested in writing Chinese essays in various genres.
Aim: The study examines whether the multi-sensory approach can enhance Chinese essay writing performance.
Sample: Two classes of associate degree students who took a pretest and a posttest after an intervention (N = 55).
Method: An experiment was conducted with students from two classes taught with the multi-sensory approach. Both classes were taught the descriptive and expressive genres, each genre in 2 lessons (12 hours total). The same teacher scored each essay in the pretests and posttests. The analysis used a 2 (time) x 2 (genre) repeated-measures ANOVA.
Result: Both main effects (test and genre) were significant, but the interaction effect was not.
Conclusion: Evidence shows that the multi-sensory approach was effective in enhancing Chinese writing in the descriptive and expressive genres.

背景：香港近年大力推行的教育改革，銳意發展學生的創造思維能力，但要培養有創意能力的學生，我們極需一批充滿創意的教師。但是過去的研究指出很多教師都不懂得如何發展學生的創意。
目的：本研究以發展教師創意教學和學生的創意能力為主要目標。整個學習過程的構想，以托蘭斯的孕育模式為理論主線，教學過程經過了預期、深化和延伸三個階段，層層遞進，期望能幫助教師達到最有效的教學效果。
研究對象：對象包括四所學校的小四、小五、小六、中一、中二和中三的教師和學生。
研究方法：以教學實踐和分析為主，所有教學設計都由有關級別教師試教。整個研究分兩年四期進行，研究人員主要通過觀課、討論和學生作品來評核學習成果。
研究結果：本研究剛完成第一和第二階段，所以報告集中討論第二階段某中學的教學實踐情況和學習成效。通過迴旋上升的學習過程，學生不僅理解新詩內容，發展聯想能力和變化能力，並嘗試創作新詩，部分學生對詩歌產生濃厚興趣，課後仍能持續自我閱讀。
總結：教師是學生學習的輔導者，所以教師本身對教學專業投入與否，願意嘗試新的教學法與否，都影響學生學習動機和態度。托蘭斯孕育模式創意教學包括了準備、深化和延續發展的三個階段，是發展創意教學中較完整的模式。
Background: In 2000, Hong Kong launched the Education Reform. One of the main objectives is to foster the creativity of the students. Nonetheless, we need a team of creative teachers who will help develop the creative skills of students. Past research shows that many teachers do not know how to develop the creative skills of their students.
Aims: This project aims to enhance teachers' awareness of a more "creative" pedagogical approach and to develop students' creative skills. Torrance's Incubation Model in Creativity is the underpinning theory in developing these language lessons. This model includes a 3-step learning process: arousing expectation, digging deep and extending learning experience. When we plan the lessons, we have a clear focus on developing students' creativity, and to help teachers teach effectively.
Objects: Teachers and students in primary from primary five, primary six, secondary one, two and three from four schools are included in this project.
Method: The preparations of lessons are participated by teachers and researchers. The lessons had been implemented by all teachers concerned. The project is divided into 4 stages in two years. The assessment of the project includes class observation, discussion with teachers and works of students.
Results: The first two stages of this project have been completed. This article focuses on the implementation of a unit teaching in the form 1 class

背景：香港進入了兩文（中、英文）三語（英語、粵語、普通話）的新紀元。藉訓練普通話口語的同時亦教導思維技巧，是一項創新課程的設計及具挑戰的教學安排。
調查對象：研究對像是普通話興趣班的學生，分別來自小學及初中，依年齡分為6-10 和11-14 歲。
調查方法：採用質量調查方法，透過導師的觀察和收集學生的導圖作品進行評估。
調查結果：研究結果發現心腦導圖對學生學習興趣和說話內容的組織程度有幫助。
總結：本文報導的普通話科使用心腦導圖的行動研究，在學生來說除了是一種新的體驗外，對教師的教學素質也是一種提昇。
Background: Hong Kong has entered a new era with the usage of two written languages (Chinese and English) and three spoken languages (English, Cantonese, and Putonghua). To teach Putonghua and thinking skills at the same time is a creative and challenging lesson arrangement.

Sample: The participants of the research were primary and junior school students aged between 6 and 10 as well as 11 and 14 respectively. They were all interested in learning Putonghua.
Method: Qualitative method was used to gather data for the study and involved teacher observations and the evaluation of the mind maps drawn up by the students.
Results: It was found that the mind maps had been helpful in student motivation and organization of the contents of the spoken Putonghua.
Conclusion: The action research reported in this study had provided very insightful experiences for the students on one hand and had raised the quality of teaching Putonghua on the other.

背景：我校向以「全人教育」為宗旨，希望培育學生成長和為他們未來的事業作好準備。為貫徹此宗旨及配合教育改革的推行，除了一貫的課堂教育外，我校亦認同經驗教育的重要性。因此，我校以「走出普通課堂的多元化活動學習體驗周」為口號，舉行「活動周體驗計畫」，邀請全體同學根據自己的興趣及能力參加不同的活動。
目的：此文章將討論舉行此類全校性活動應注意的事項，及老師如何與學生一起學習。
調查對象：由於只有我校舉行此「活動周體驗計畫」，所有資料由德信中學提供。
調查方法：此文章是透過個人經驗、專業討論及有關的政府刊物的資料，集合而成的。
調查結果：此文章提供了一系列的指引，讓有志舉辦同類型全校性活動的老師及學校，可以作一個參考。在舉辦類似活動時，應以學校辦學使命為原則，以學生得益及安全為大前提，在得到學校各持分者支持，才大力推動；否則，祇會勞民傷財。
總結：「活動周體驗計畫」是我校「全人教育」內的一個有計畫的主要活動，全體同學會按照自己的興趣及能力參加不同的活動。因此，一個詳盡的計畫便是帶領其成功的一項重要因素。此文章正提供了一系列的指引讓老師，製作其活動，「為孩子創造出更好更闊的學習空間」。
Background: Whole person education for our students is the mission of our school. We help them to develop their personal characters and to prepare for their own career paths. To fulfill the above challenging mission and the recent educational reform, apart form the normal classroom teaching, the School recognizes the importance and value of experiential or activity based education. Hence, we introduced the Activity Week Experience (AWE) Programme to provide our students a week of diversified learning experiences out of the ordinary classroom! All students are invited to join different organized programmes based on our own interest and abilities.
Aims: This paper is going to discuss the main concerns on organizing such a school-wide experiential learning activity and how our teachers also learn together with our students.
Sample: The programme has only been conducted in our school. Tak Sun Secondary School is the only information source.
Method: Personal experience, professional discussion and reference to the relevant Government documents were used in drafting the paper.
Results: A series of guidelines were suggested as reminders for the teachers and the school if they would like to produce similar school-wide activities. To start a similar school-wide activity, the school should put the school mission and the safety of the students as the first priority. Then, with the strong support from different school stakeholders,
