背景﹕為了更好地適應未來社會﹐學生必須具備批判性思考、創意性思考等高層級思維能力，相應地﹐現今中小學課程也已十分重視培養這些與評價有關的能力。為此﹐閱讀測試要準確地評估､發展學生的評鑒能力。
目的﹕討論如何編制試題﹐以評估學生的現代文閱讀評鑒能力﹐為教師在中文評估領域的專業發展提供參考。
方法﹕以閱讀、寫作理論、現行課程標準為基礎，分析2002-05 年中國內地、香港、新加坡各17份合計51 份中學實際使用的中文試卷。
主要結果﹕發展了中學現代文閱讀評鑒題的評核內容框架，設計了評鑒題型體系，指出了評鑒題的編制策略。初步發現三地評鑒題的區別。
總結﹕三地評鑒題的內容測試焦點不同﹐可相互參考。為了更好地評核評鑒能力﹐編制評鑒題要選取更廣泛的內容﹐採用多種題型﹐採取相應的編題策略。

近幾年來，香港的教育面對著重大的改革。一九九七年，香港特別行政區行政長官董建華先生在首份施政報告中，向教統會提出要全面檢討香港的教育制度。一九九九年一月，教育統籌委員會(教統會)發表了《教育目標諮詢文件― 廿一世紀教育藍圖》(下簡稱《教育目標諮詢文件》)，檢討了一九九三年九月政府發表的《香港學校教育目標》，並為學前教育、中小學教育及高等教育定下詳細的教學目標。《教育目標諮詢文件》推出以作廣泛諮詢後，引起社會各界人士熱切的討論。筆者現從教育哲學思想的角度，以古代教育思想家孔子、近代教育思想家蔡元培和陶行知的教育思想內容，從「教育功能」、「教育主張和內容」、「對教師教學的看法」、「對學生學習的看法」四方面，跟香港九三及九九兩套教育目標進行比較，闡述其異同，從而探討香港兩套教育目標背後的教育理念。此外，筆者亦會分析香港教育的現況，並會就香港教育目標的發展方向作出建議。

1997 年7 月1 日是香港回歸祖國懷抱的劃時代日子。回歸後香港行政㈵區在「一國兩制」與「高度自治」原則下繼續發展。後殖民地 (Post-colonialism) 教育將是香港教育的另一特色。誇大和忽視殖民地主義對香港的控制和幕後誘導作用，對真正認識香港實情絕無好處。而回歸前香港政府向來對公民教育是「明褒暗貶，明揚暗抑」的，故研究和展望廿一世紀香港㈵別行政區公民教育，是㈲現實需要和時代意義的。
殖民地主義以異族控制香港地域資源及戰略要塞，當然不欲被統治者民族主義高漲，故嚴禁㈻校談政治更明文規定，「重英輕中」及「暗抑中史」實是英人統治百年方針。不過，自從1967 年香港暴動以後，英人重視「懷柔政策」，於課程上不著痕跡地幕後操控，少有公然「鎮壓」，淡化年輕一代中國青年的民族意識，在一定程度上頗為成功，故回歸後在公民教育方面，須下一番不偏不倚的「撥亂返正」工夫。

本文探討貧窮與教育的關係，指出改善學校教育可以消減跨代貧窮。要打破「出身、教育及成就」的連鎖效應，就必須消減學校對貧窮學生所造成的負面影響。除政府的扶貧教育政策外，訪談資料顯示，老師也是一個非常重要的因素。本文建議老師注重提升學生的學業自尊感，對所有學生都應寄以合理的期望，才能積極地消減因貧窮而引致的教育成效不均問題。
This article discusses the relationship between poverty and education. Improved schooling can combat intergenerational poverty. In order to break through the chain effect of "social background-education achievement," schools must minimize any further disadvantages for students who are already socially disadvantaged. Alongside the role the government's education policy plays in tackling poverty, the findings show that teachers also play an important role. This article recommends that teachers pay more attention to raising students' academic self-esteem and to holding appropriate expectations of all students so as to effectively tackle the unequal educational results caused by poverty.

回歸前後的香港，在政治上經歷了很多變化。這些政治上的變化不期然地也影響了香港的公民教育的發展。本文嘗試比較回歸前後香港公民教育的發展及其政治變遷的相互關係，尤其側重介紹回歸以後香港公民教育的狀況，包括課程發展、學校實施公民教育的情況、香港學生的公民觀、香港人對公民身份認同的變化，並以社會資本角度的反思作結。本文得出的結論是香港市民對香港是有歸屬感的，但不太有安全感；他們會參與社會的網路組織，有一定的社會參與，但限於傳統性的公民活動（例如選舉）和社會性的活動，較少參與政治性的公民活動；同時，他們也存在一種公民無力感，尤其是政治無力感。
Hong Kong has experienced substantial changes in its political circumstances before and after the handover. These political changes have had much impact on the development of civic education. This paper attempts to compare the development of civic education in Hong Kong before and after the handover, with a particular focus on the impact of changing political circumstances. Another focus of the paper is on the situations of civic education since its handover. This includes a review of the development of the civic education curricula, the implementation of civic education in school, student's concepts of citizenship, changes of civic identity among Hong Kong people, and the paper is concluded with a review from social capital perspectives. The paper concludes with an observation that Hong Kong people have a sense of belonging, but not much sense of security. They participate in social networks, but focus on conventional citizenship activities (such as voting) and socially oriented activities, rather than politically oriented activities. Socially, they feel they make some contributions to the society, but politically they also feel powerless.
