全納教育在香港從一九九七年推行至今遇到相當多的障礙，而教師在協助有特殊需要的學生在學校的適應也是困難重重。這個個案的研究選取了兩個輕度智障的小學生進行了一個簡單的研究，訪問了兩位同學、他們的教師和家長。我們試圖通過分析學生的個人心理，轉變過程和控制改變的能力，來研究他們二人對學校的適應能力。我們希望教師們從這個研究可以得到一些啟示，更有效地去幫助有特殊需要的學生在學校的適應。

踏入新世紀，香港中國語文課程進行了重要改革，其中一個改革重點是加強文學學習，但是在過去語文和文學分家的課程規劃下，已經熟習語文教學的教師不期然對文學教學產生「教甚麼、怎麼教」的疑惑。怎麼教小學生讀詩？小學生在欣賞詩、寫詩的能力嗎？這些疑慮都需要通過實踐經驗才可以獲得釋放。 本論文主要報告一個在小學三年級和五年級進行的兒童詩讀寫教學試驗。教學試驗在二零零三年六月前完成，採用質性分析方法來分析六個學生的學習個案，從中探討教學試驗的成效。個案分析結果顯示了學生經過詩歌學習活動後，對詩歌保持或產生正面的鹿度，能領悟詩的特質，開始發展對詩的意識，賞讀詩歌的能力在加強，並能從讀詩的活動中領略寫詩的技巧，能用形象的手法來寫個人對身邊人或物的感受。教師和學生的訪談更指出試驗的教學模式發揮了以下的成效：學生喜歡用通過試教的模式來學習，對讀詩寫詩的興趣濃厚；部分學生寫詩比寫文好；程度差的學生從讀詩寫詩獲得成功感；個別家長表示支持；教師對語文教學有更新的體會。

It is a general belief that language reflects cultural preoccupations, and constrains the way people think, and that the use of language is also shaped through culture. Language education in different countries thus reflects culture of the regions. Chinese and English are two of the most popular languages in the world and reflect culture of the East and the West. The authors have carried out a research project on the views of Hong Kong educators on basic mother tongue language competency. The results showed that Hong Kong educators’ perception on language was affected by Chinese philosophy of education, namely Confucianism. They did not find many indicators of English curricula appropriate to Hong Kong school students. ‘Stress on personal moral perfection’ and ‘social implications for education’ that is the goodness for all were some of the Chinese educational beliefs affect views of Hong Kong educators on language education.

Civic education has been re-surging in Hong Kong schools since the process of re-integration with China, which was began in the 1980s. During the process, two sets of guidelines on civic education have been issued, generating much impact on the curriculum development of schools in the related area. This chapter adopts a case study approach to develop a focused and in-depth study of a secondary school, which is renowned for its achievements in implementing civic education in local context. Various research instruments and methods, including questionnaire survey, focused interview and content (documentary) analysis are used to study the changes in the school context as well as the inhibiting and facilitating factors in the process of implementing civic education through the Whole-School or Permeation Approach. It is expected that the findings could generate revelatory impact on the future betterment of civic education in secondary schools.

In Hong Kong, the Education Commission has presented in 2000 a series of recommendations for reforming the education system. The focus of this paper is on the curriculum reform from which Physical Education (PE) is being affected in the education reform exercise. Highlighted in the analysis is the relationship between the education reform and a critical component of PE, games activities, which play a heavy weighting in the PE curriculum. More importantly, in the last decade, an innovative games teaching approach, Teaching Games for understanding (TGFU), was introduced in Hong Kong and has created a strong impact on Hong Kong PE teachers. The purpose of this paper is to review to what extend this new approach can echo the education reform towards the 21st century. The analysis reveals that the philosophy of TGFU is in line with the new curriculum reform and does contribute greatly to the development of studentsí cognitive experience, particularly problem-solving and decision-making skills as well as enjoyment from which they are highlighted by the Education Commission as generic skills, and value and attitudes components.
