香港新高中課程改革的「通識教育科」，注重「專題研習」的學習。由於有別於本土的傳統教學，「專題研習」可供老師參考的課程實施經驗不多，尤其學生對自主學習的體會。本文嘗試從學習者的角度，透視「專題研習」在實際的學校環境中，出現怎麼樣的「通識教育科」教學和學習的特點。透過分析小組同學的訪談內容，我們發現學生能夠了解和適應「專題研習」的學習要求及肯定其中的學習經歷和價值，他們同時深感憂慮新的學習，嚴重受考試導向的教育現實所牽引。
Liberal Studies has given a due weight to project learning in Hong Kong's New Senior Secondary curriculum reform. Different from mainstream teaching in the past, teachers have little practical experience on project learning in their curriculum implementation, particularly on students' independent learning. This paper is an attempt which examines for characteristics of project learning in Liberal Studies in the local school context from students' perspectives. An analysis on the focused group interview with students has found that they can grasp the main points and cope with the new learning needs of project learning. While they recognize the values of this new learning mode, they are deeply worried that the examination-driven educational reality has greatly affected their study through project learning.

鑑古識今，本文從分析1940 - 1980期間香港小學數學課程的發展，指出香港過往的數學課程發展雖然由教育部門作「中央監控」，但亦採取「漸進發展」的課程發展模式，因應時勢，有序地推行數學課程改革，而且以吸納政治的技巧，引入民間力量和聲音，著重與教師團體的互動。從歷史發展的探索，本文提出五方面的思考：課程發展策略要因應時勢發展，需因地制宜，雖由上而下但仍給予自主空間和彈性，容納民間聲音，以及探討權力下放的可行性以回應時代需求。
This article, by analysing the Mathematics curriculum development of Hong Kong in the period 1940s-1980s, aimed to learn from the past. It stressed that the education bureau had adopted various effective strategies in curriculum development, though it centrally-controlled the development. The education bureau had adopted incremental model through consideration of context, implemented curriculum orderly and used techniques of absorptive politics to introduce strengths and ideas from grassroots and to interact with teacher associations.Inquiring from historical development, this article raised five dimensions of thought for curriculum development: strategies need to consider trends of recent change, considering the context of society, provision of space and flexibility when using top-down approach, accepting voice from grassroots, and investigating the possibility of devolution of power when responding to requests.

2009年實施的新高中學制，通識教育科將成為核心科目之一，大部份中學現階段的工作主要集中處理課程規劃中如何鋪排六個單元的教授次序。學校的教師人手安排固然影響通識科的課程組織，但老師們如何詮釋課程同樣影響校本的課程設計。本文透過校本專業支援的學校經驗，嘗試總結課程規劃的三個單元鋪排模式，並探討當中反映老師如何理解新高中通識教育科課程精神與目標。
Liberal Studies (LS) is one of the core subjects in the new structure of senior secondary education which will be implemented from this September. At present, the focus of most secondary schools is on the issue of how to plan and arrange the sequence of the six modules. In fact, not only the manpower deployment but also how teachers interpret the LS curriculum documents can bring considerable influence on the school-based curriculum design of LS. Through the experiences of on-site school support, this paper summarizes three models which schools adopted to arrange the six modules, and analyses teachers’ understanding and interpretation of LS curriculum embedded in each model.

學校透過體育課培養同學對運動的興趣，同時組織多元化的運動課外活動，並建立體育運動的文化，使體育活動在校內得以普及，令同學養成運動的習慣。由於學校及家長皆重視學生的學業成績，故在校內推動體育運動有一定困難；然而，如學校能令同學透過參與體育運動改善品德及學會分配時間，同時又不受影響學業成績的話，家長亦樂意讓子女多參與體育活動。
If schools cultivate students' interest in sports through physical education lessons, organise a variety of extracurricular activities, and develop the culture of sports in order to make sports popular on campuses, then eventually students will form the habit of doing sports. Both schools and parents emphasise students' academic results; therefore, it is quite difficult to promote sports in schools. However, if we can enhance students' morals and attitudes, and improve their time-management skills through sports participation, without affecting their academic performance, then parents will be willing to let their children take part in sports.

概念圖是有效的思維工具。在繪畫概念圖時，撮寫能代表關鍵互聯網訊息的標題、並和語文能力有密切關係。目前較少研究探討概念圖應用在語文科的效能。在自主學習的模式下，本研究旨在分析中六學生在課餘使用網絡學習平台提供的概念圖與其對閱讀理解及意見表達的成效，及探討學習能力的差異與使用概念圖後的學業成績之關係。
Concept map is an effective thinking tool. Construction of concept map and summary writing can represent related themes from the Internet information, highly related to language abilities. Yet few research bodies have covered the effectiveness of using concept map into learning language subjects. Under self-directed learning circumstances, this paper aims to analyze effectiveness of Grade 11 students' reading comprehension and idea expression when using concept map via an online learning platform in spare time, and scrutinize relationships between learning abilities and academic achievements after using concept map.

本文討論在公開考試的框架下，如何邁向教改和新通識科的課程目標。以1994-2005年的高級程度通識教育科會考考試報告作為研究對象，本文嘗試找出公開考試的實際評分標準，並分析這些評分標準如何指導通識科的實際教與學經歷，討論教師和學生應如何面對和處理公開考試，以更有效地讓通識科的課程目標在學生的學習經歷中得到貫徹。
This paper discusses the question of how to achieve the curriculum objectives of the NSSLS subject within the public examination framework. Through studying the 1994-2005 AS Liberal Studies examination reports, this paper attempts to examine the actual grading criteria of the past LS examinations, and to analyze how these grading criteria have shaped teachers' and students' actual teaching and learning experiences. It then discusses strategies that teachers and students could adopt, in face of public examinations, to more effectively facilitate students' actual learning experiences that are in alignment with the LS curriculum objectives.

本文是筆者與一位小學教師在中文科單元教學引進學習檔案評估的經驗分享。希望藉此經驗，使教師在應用學習檔案評估方面，得到一些啟示。學習檔案確能激發學生主動學習的潛能，幫助教師全面評估學生，這是傳統評估模式不能做到的。同時教師能在學生顯証中反思自己的教學的成效，改善教學，但是教師在實施的過程中遇上不少困難，例如在緊迫的課堂教學中要抽時間進行學習檔案的課堂活動和檢視學生的學習檔案。
This is the sharing experience of primary Chinese language teacher, asking students to develop the portfolios related to the thematic approach in Chinese language lessons. It is hoped that this experience can help teachers to have more ideas in the use of portfolios in their classrooms. This experience indicates that the use of portfolio can motivate students to learn. Teachers can evaluate students' learning in a more holistic way and they can also make use of the students' portfolios to reflect and improve their teaching. However, they encountered difficulties such as the inadequate time for helping students to develop the portfolios.
