本研究旨在探討香港中國語文教師「自主學習」（SRL）的反思特徵，並檢視職級和教學年資對反思表現的影響。研究參與者是在職教師專業進修課程的學員，研究樣本是他們的反思報告。本研究採用質化和量化混合法—文本分析法、內容分析法及數據統計分析。結果顯示，參加者反思「自主學習」理念的更新，贊同「自主學習」理念，並聚焦於「自主學習」實踐；事實陳述和推理探索的反思表現較佳，而感情表達的反思表現稍遜；他們的反思表現受教師職級的影響，而非教學年資的影響。This study aims at identifying the characteristics of Hong Kong in-service Chinese language teachers’ reflective writing on self-regulated learning (SRL) and examine how the teaching ranks and years of teaching experience affect their reflection performance. A mixed method approach was adopted in the analysis of the written reflections. Text analysis and content analysis of the written reflection was conducted. The cross tabulations of reflective and thematic categories were calculated to investigate how the each category interacted. Results demonstrated that the participants were impressed by the theories of SRL and most of them focused on the practices of SRL. The reflections on facts and reasoning were the strengths of the participants while the reflections on feelings were their weakness. Moreover, the reflective performance was affected by teaching ranks, but not years of teaching experience. Copyright © 2020 香港教育大學中國語言學系、哥倫比亞大學中文部、中華書局（香港）有限公司.

There is a general belief that ‘play’ serves a very useful function in the learning and development of young children. It is a vital way through which children reconcile their inner lives with the outside world. It is a central activity in kindergartens and nurseries. ‘Learning through play’ is recommended as the mode of learning and teaching of young children in many countries. In Hong Kong, it was documented in an official education report in 1986 and is the key guideline for the implementation of the aims of early childhood education for the next millennium. However, due to the messy nature and ambiguity in definition, ‘play’ is difficult to realize in the classroom context. A case study of six kindergarten teachers in training was conducted to investigate the issues of the links between the theories and practice of ‘play’. The findings showed immense difficulties in capitalizing the benefits of ‘play’ in practice and a huge gap between the practitioners’ espoused intentions and their actions in classroom. The study highlighted the complex nature of learning and teaching and reflected the need for a holistic reform in education.

在上個世紀，香港在職教師培訓有五星期覆修和十六星期的語文教師在職進修課程，除了這些系統培訓外，各校也會舉辦一些校本教師講座及由民間教育團體舉辦新教師入職課程。回顧香港在職教師在過去十年的發展，政府首先對在職教師的學歷資格及專業發展日益重視；及後在課程改革的環境下，不少學校近年以共同備課和同儕觀課來促進教師專業的提高。近年，教育當局又大力推動教學啟導培訓和在職教師專業交流活動；同時，又有專業團體為在職教師提供較重實踐性的培訓課程。從這些不同的教師在職培訓項目的特色，可見香港在職教師專業培訓在過往十年有長足的發展。
In last century, there are three types of professional development of in-service teachers in Hong Kong. The most systemic type is the five-week refreshment training programme and sixteen-week language teacher enhancement programme, while some professional organizations run on induction programme for new teachers in every summer and many schools run school-based seminar for their teachers. In last decade, government pays more attention in the qualification and professional development of in-service teachers in the beginning. Later in the context of curriculum reform, many schools upgrade teacher professional performance by co-planning and peer-observation. Recently, EDB implement mentorship courses to support new teachers and promote professional exchange activities for inservice teachers. Meanwhile, Some professional organizations provide training programme which have more focus on action learning for teachers. This paper describes the situation of professional development of in-service teachers in last decade and discusses the special features of these in-service teacher training programmes.
