Module Code 單元編號 GEM1025 Module Title 單元名稱 UNDERSTANDING CHILDREN GROWTH IN LOW INCOME FAMILIES Module Synopsis 單元概要 This course aims to sharpen students' sensitivity and awareness of the needs and difficulties of low income families in raising children in HK. Students are first equipped with theories to understand the causes and difficulties of the low income families and how the difficulties impact on children’s learning. This understanding is further consolidated through the community engagement arranged by the NGOs. This involves students to visit these disadvantaged homes, plan and implement day camp or other family activities for these families. This service learning process will enable students to gain hands-on experience and knowledge about the low income families and enhance their understanding and appreciation of people of different socio-economic groups.
