踏入21世紀，面對全球化的趨勢、隨著知識型經濟的驅策，香港作為一個國際城市，已在教育體制和課程變革之上作出回應，主張以全方位的、終身的學習來取代傳統的學習模式。在眾多全方位學習的範疇中，有關提升思維能力及精神健康等主面尤其重要。有些學校正是在不同的重點上，按著自己特定的情況，安排相關的課程及活動，使學生能得著益處。這些都以打破傳統死記硬背的讀書方法及課室局限為本。本文集中探討高思維提升方法及學生自我形象改善計劃等。這些學校的經驗都是寶貴的，既可作為香港其他學校的借鑒，或者也可以作為其他地區學校的參考。

香港的教育要配合著社會的發展而轉型，以切合新的社會現實，與時並進。學生的學習要從以往的教室為限、記誦為本模式，發展成全方位導向、靈活積極、提昇為本的終身活動。本文集中在智能及情感因素的提昇上，探討一些相關的理論，及分享兩所學校努力的經驗。透過改革學校環境和悉心的課程籌劃，可成為全人發展的動力。看來香港學校教育，也實在有條件突破刻板、沉悶和狹隘傳統的局限。
Hong Kong's education has to keep pace with the changing world to meet the needs of the society. Amore flexible mode of education that can transcend mere memorization and the confines of the classroom will be more conducive in nurturing among students lifelong learning aiming at self enhancement. This article focuses on cognitive and affective dimensions of students' development and explores the real experiences of two secondary schools in promoting students' enhancement. It is hoped that the examples covered in the article can illustrate that Hong Kong's education is making steady progress in the direction of liberating itself from the narrow confines of tradition.

漫畫(尤其是武打技擊連環圖)在香港甚為流行。本研究嘗試了解其所潛藏的價值和性別意識，以時下流行之武打漫畫，進行內容分析。發現其對兩性、英雄感和暴力等的描繪都是扭曲及誤置的，估勿論對成年或青少年的讀者，在道德判斷上，也可產生不良的影響。基於相關的發現，為學校和教育工作者所能作的，提出建議。
Comic books, especially those related with martial art and violence, are popular in Hong Kong. This research tries to study the values and gender concepts conveyed in such comics. This study, which is based on content analysis of comics, finds the portrayal of sex, heroism and violence to be both distorted and disproportionate. This can have devastating impact on the moral judgment of the readers, who can be adults as well as teens. Based on the findings, suggestions about how schools and educators can tackle the problem are made.
