Some key research
projects
The Development of Performance
Indicators for Measuring Primary and Secondary Students'
Performance in the Affective and Social Domains (APASO)
This project came of age in the reporting year. Indicators
developed in the project help to highlight students'
skills in areas other than academic capability. In terms
of school management, the new indicators help define
direction for the development of individual schools.
The success of APASO is evidenced by the award of a
training commission by the Education and Manpower Bureau
(EMB). Between January and June 2003, our staff provided
APASO training to all schools in ong Kong with about
1,320 school principals and teachers articipating. The
APASO indicators are recommended by the MB to all schools
for self-enhancement and evaluation, as ell as for reporting
their progress and achievement in the ffective and social
domains.
Children's
Literature and Affective Education
Staff from the Chinese Department and the School of
Early Childhood Education are funded by the Competitive
Earmarked Research Grants of the Research Grants Council
to conduct a research project on children's literature
and affective education. The project employs psychological
theory to analyse issues faced by children in the course
of their growth. It is hoped that the research findings
will enhance our understanding of the symbols commonly
used both in children's and adult literature and serve
as a bridge between the two. The project outcomes will
include an anthology of articles on archetypes in children's
literature and a related bibliography.
Global
and International Dimensions of Secondary School Education:
Perceptions and Practices
This comparative project, commissioned by Oxfam Hong
Kong, seeks to better understand the perceptions of
students and teachers in Hong Kong and Shanghai towards
global citizenship education in secondary schools. Current
practices in citizenship education in the two places
will also be explored. The project aims to identify
effective strategies in bringing global citizenship
to schools in Hong Kong, drawing on the best practices
of educators in both cities.
