Synopsis

The primary purpose of this article is to reexamine the development of values education in Hong Kong based upon the context of curriculum reform. First of all, this article will shed light on the development of value education in Hong Kong on the basis of the analysis of curriculum documents, and also discuss the position and role of values education in curriculum reform. Secondly, this article will examine how the new curriculum reform will revise the concept and implementation direction of the values education, and discuss the transformation of values education. Finally, aligning with the reviews of values education, the reflection of the Hong Kong values education will focus on four aspects, including “the idea of curriculum design”, “teaching practice”, “learning feedback” and “reflection and criticism”.
