對香港、廣州、北京、上海、福州、蘇州在職中學體育教師進行問卷調查，對未來體育教師應具備的能力，以及在校學習課程的模式進行分析比較結果顯示，香港和內地在職中學體育教師對未來體育教師能力培養及知識結構認識上有很多相同之處，然而由於兩地在教育體制等方面的差異，對能力及知識結構重要性的排序存在差異。

這篇文章滙報優質教育基金促進健康幼稚園計劃的進展。文章的焦點集中報導一個新的學前健康課程的誕生，那是其中一個研究小組的一項重要工作。小組因應現時香港社會生活環境的幼兒健康需要，特別研選出十個健康主題。本文將提及其中三個在現時香港學前教育較少討論的主題，當中包括「消費者健康」、「吸煙、醉酒和吸毒」和「生活、老化和死亡」。除此以外，本文也述及學前健康課程的評量，目的在提供一些學前教育健康課程發展的方向給幼教工作者作參考。

本文探討中學體育課程全面單元化的適切性；包括單元課程的內涵、優點和不足。優點方面，包括提高課程的延續性和內容涵蓋面，與及在社會問責方面的承擔。不足的地方，在於它只是課程組織的一個方法，因此對解決課程組織以外的問題幫助不大。

This paper presents a qualitative study with the use of the interpretive paradigm to capture subjective meanings that pre-service Physical Education (PE) teachers gave to their professional socialization process at the early stage of their two-year full-time teacher-training program. Data concerning their actions, feelings and reflection on their practical, pedagogical and theoretical modules were collected through interviewing and writing of reflective journal. Participants were analyzed according to their types namely, "athletes", "idealists", "pragmatists", "followers" and "the insecure group" while joining the program. It was interesting to find that they all articulated their professional learning to the "process knowledge" through experience rather than "propositional" one in the form of discipline based and theoretical conceptions regardless of their types. The findings provide information about how pre-service PE teachers learn and develop their professional knowledge, which in return, generate implications on how the Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) program can be implemented effectively in Hong Kong.

This paper is concerned with a qualitative study of how three pre-service physical education teachers who were comparatively less skilful in sports, socialised professionally in their first field experience. It was a part of the two-year study project investigating the occupational scoialisation of pre-service physical education teachers in the Hong Kong Institute of Education. With the interpretive paradigm as the conceptual framework, data concerning the professional conceptions, socialising strategies and perceptions on their socialising agents during their first field experience were collected through interviewing and writing of reflective journals. The findings demonstrated a particular socialisation process of this type of recruits. Interestingly, they were found shaping their early belief from "being liked by the pupils" to "being proficient in sports skills and instructional competence" as important requirements for PE teaching after the first field experience. The wash out effect of the field experience on the physical education teacher programme was particular significant on them. The findings provide information about how a particular group of recruits socialised professionally in their first field experience. In return, such implications can be facilitated positively in teacher education.

Few studies have attempted to study the perception of physical education of secondary school girls with 'non-participation' behaviours during physical education lessons. This paper tries to explore the differences of attitudes of 'non-participation' and 'ordinary' senior form school girls toward physical education in a single-sex school. Six students were purposely selected in the study. They were interviewed and invited to give comments on physical education in their school. Their behaviours in three physical education lessons were observed and recorded. Data in the study indicated that most students held 'sex stereotyped beliefs', however, only the 'non-participation' students showed alienated behaviours from the physical education lessons. Possible reasons for these were the difference between the 'non-participation' and 'ordinary' students on the perceived status and values of physical education within school. School administrators and physical educators should revise the school physical education curriculum and instructional behaviours in order to maintain the students interest and positive attitude toward physical education.

How gender operates is a key factor in the ways in which physical education is organized, taught and experienced by students and teachers. This essay highlights the gendered contours of the history of physical education development in Hong Kong, its Chinese heritage and its colonial foundations - the persistent influence of British approaches to physical education teacher education and the promotion of sport. The paper is a collaborative work between Chinese-born and Western scholars. It examines the relative influences of Chinese attitudes towards gender roles and the active, sporting body and the continued impact of Western approaches to physical education and sport in a post-colonial society.
