經典學習為中國古代教育的一環，自上世紀初科舉和讀經相繼遭廢除以後，經典學習的地位備受挑戰。關於兒童應否讀經的討論從沒問斷，爭議焦點似乎在於讀經會產生愚昧還是帶來敵迪。雖然讀經公案未有定識，可是讀經活動在中國內地和臺灣地區相當盛行，倡導者認為讀經有助語文能力和道德素養的提升。本文首先論述讀經的爭議，並從道德教育和文化承傳層面，探討香港推廣兒童經典學習的意義，並且提供建議，以求促進經典學習的成效。
Classics-learning is an integral part of ancient Chinese education. At the beginning of the last century, imperial examination and classics-reciting were sequentially abolished. The status of classics-learning was thus being challenged. Whether or not children should recite classics is so far still a matter of debate. The crux of debate seems to be whether classic-reciting will produce ignorance or bring enlightenment instead. In spite of controversy, classics-reciting activities in mainland China and Taiwan are still prevalent, and the advocates believe that these activities are especially conducive to the enhancement of language competency and moral qualities. This paper reviews and evaluates the arguments of classics-reciting, and explores the meaning of promotion of children’s classics-learning in Hong Kong from the perpectives of moral education and cultural inheritance with recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of classics-learning.

德育及公民教育是2001年香港課程改革中四個關鍵項目之一，學校推行德育及公民教育是否成功，對學生的身心發展，以至社會的整體安定繁榮也有著密不可分的關係。政府於2001年就四個學習階段訂下德育及公民教育的課程框架，並在2008年作出修訂。本文以課程決定為討論的切人點，嘗試從內在及外在情景的視角，引用不同學者提出的相關理論作初步探討，並提出對香港德育及公民教育發展的個人觀點。
The Moral and Civic Education is one of four key tasks in the Hong Kong curriculum reform 2001. Whether the implementation of school moral and civic education is successful or not, it will impact the development of the student's body and mind, and even the stability and prosperity of the society as a whole. The government subscribed the moral and civic education curriculum framework in 2001 on four learning phases, and made the revision in 2008. This article attempts to explore the issue in view of curriculum decision making and from internal and external context perspectives together with related theories. Author’s point of view on the future development of Hong Kong moral and civic education will also be made.

本文剖析了香港於回歸前後國民身份教育的發展，發現因受殖民地教育影響，回歸初期進展不大，近年雖有改善，但欠一架構。筆者提出香港要再建構國民身份教育，以全球、國家和本土三個層次去推行國民身份教育。前瞻香港學校推行國民身份教育，應以加強粵港融合和情意教育為要務。
Through analyzing the development of national identity education in Hong Kong before and after Hong Kong’s return, the article reported that not much progress was made during the beginning period of Hong Kong’s return due to the colonial education’s infl uence. Although national identity education has improved in recent years, it lacks a model. The author proposes that Hong Kong needs to reconstruct its national identity education on global, national and local levels for its implementation. As for promoting national identity education in Hong Kong, schools here should emphasize on closer ties between Guangdong and Hong Kong as well as affective education as key tasks.

本文是作者與一位小學教師為學生設計角色扮演的經驗分享。教師在小學中國語文課堂中設計角色扮演活動，加入教育戲劇元素「定格」和「思路追蹤」確能增加學生參與的機會。學生又能設身處地，以多角度思考問題，發展他們的批判能力；同時他們能愉快和投入地學習。個案試行效果不錯，但其設計仍有可進一步優化之處。
This is an experience sharing of the design of a role-play in the Chinese language classroom by the author and a primary Chinese language teacher, using the elements of the drama: Still Image and Thought Tracking. Findings indicate that students have more chances to participate in activities, think in different perspectives of the questions and this helps them to develop their critical thinking. They learn happily and devotedly. The result is quite encouraging. However, there is still room for improvement on the design of the activities.

This paper explores the construction of local and national identities among secondary school students in post-colonial Hong Kong. As a Chinese society that has undergone a prolonged period of British colonial rule, the reunification of capitalist Hong Kong with the motherland under socialism in 1997 has set the context for a negotiation of identities. It has been revealed that the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region has tried to foster a stronger sense of national identity and a sense of belonging among the younger generations through its education reform measures in the new millennium. Nation-building is part and parcel of the reform, although it is being interpreted and implemented diversely by local officials, school principals and teachers. The intersecting and overlapping nature of students' different identities has set the parameters of their identity formation but allows different latitudes of observance and/or choice of different identities.
