Simmi Ho-Yan TAM The implementation of group work in Hong Kong: A case study
|
BackgroundI, as a primary school teacher in the Hong Kong SAR, attended the International On-line Collaboration Discussion Seminar by the Schools Around the World (SAW) Project, which was held between October 15 and November 4, 2001. During this 3-week seminar, teachers from six out of the nine SAW participating nations or regions (the United States, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Portugal and Hong Kong) had the opportunity to exchange their ideas, and to express their professional opinions based on their teaching experiences on implementing group work in the classroom. In particular, the following three topics were explored within the seminar: defining group work, the role of assessment in group work, and teachers' professional development for supporting the implementation of group work. This paper focuses on what I discussed with the SAW participants during the 3-week on-line seminar, plus some additional points I wish to share relating to this topic.
