In this regard, the Knowledge Fair on “Learning to Learn” 2002 is organized to provide such a platform and opportunity for all school heads and teachers to participate directly and actively in the intellectual discourse. All the presentations in the Knowledge Fair are based on the findings and analyses of a series of Collaborative Research and Development (“Seed”) Projects conducted in schools since 2001-2002 school year as one of the curriculum reform initiatives. In the conduct of each “seed” project, schools work together with officers of the Curriculum Development Institute of the Education Department and local / overseas expert advisors from tertiary institutions. The projects are geared towards promoting the learning capabilities of students, serving as an impetus to school-based curriculum development to generate useful knowledge and experiences as well as connecting theories into actual practice. These research projects are vital not only to develop teachers as reflective practitioners and curriculum change agents in schools but also help schools and teachers to make informed decisions. Moreover, they offer a diverse range of effective means for the reference of other schools and teachers to improve pedagogical practices and student learning. THEMES OF KNOWLEDGE FAIR The main themes of the Knowledge Fair cover the following areas: curriculum planning, learning and teaching strategies in Key Learning Areas development of critical thinking and creativity through learning activities assessment for learning (to improve learning and teaching) four key tasks (moral and civic education, reading to learn, project learning and information technology for interactive learning) school-based curriculum development PRESENTATIONS The presentations will focus on deliberation of the “seed” project process such as how classroom observations, student interviews, analyses of student work and teachers’ self reflections are adopted for triangulation and generation of useful experiences or knowledge. The purpose is to help participants interpret information or data collected, construct knowledge and deepen their understanding on specific areas concerned. 2 OVERVIEW OF PARALLEL SESSIONS Area Session 1 Session 2 Session 3 Session 4 9:30 – 11:00 a.m. 11:15 – 12:45 p.m. 2:00 – 3:30 p.m. 3:45 – 5:15 p.m. Keynote KS-01 PS KS-01 PS Speech Learning to Learn : Learning to Learn : Teaching for Learning Teaching for Learning (Language Medium : (Language Medium : English) English) CF Hall (p.)

  • Progress on Reading to Learn in Hong Kong Primary Schools
    “The basis of their reading experience”: Progress on Reading to Learn in Hong Kong Primary Schools Po Shan Susana Lau Teacher Librarian HKIED Jockey Club Primary School Hong Kong Peter Warning Lecturer University of Hong Kong Hong Kong A key government education policy in Hong Kong is Reading to Learn, introduced in 2000. Cultivating an independent reading habit is identified as one of the “Seven Learning Goals” to be achieved by 2014. This paper reports the results of a small-scale pilot study designed to inform a more comprehensive future survey implemented jointly by the Education and Manpower Bureau and the Hong Kong Teacher Librarians Association to measure the effectiveness of Reading to Learn. Introduction “Were we to choose our leaders on the basis of their reading experience and not their political programs, there would be much less grief on earth.” Joseph Brodsky (Nobel Prize acceptance speech, 1987) A key government education policy – one of the “Four Key Tasks” – in Hong Kong is Reading to Learn , introduced in 2000. Cultivating an independent reading habit is identified as one of the “Seven Learning Goals” to be achieved by 2014 (EMB Education & Manpower Bureau, 2004). To provide support for Reading to Learn , government-funded primary schools in Hong Kong have been encouraged to appoint teacher librarians (TLs). The duties of the TLs are to manage their schools’ libraries and promote Reading to Learn . This paper reports the results of a small-scale pilot study designed to inform a more comprehensive future survey implemented jointly by the Education and Manpower Bureau (EMB) and the Hong Kong Teacher Librarians Association (HKTLA) to measure the effectiveness of Reading to Learn .

  • Eating Huaqiao” and the Left Behind: the Moral and Social-Economic Consequences of the Return of Overseas Chinese to a South China Village
    “Eating Huaqiao” and the Left Behind: the moral and social-economic consequences of the return of Overseas Chinese to a South China Village Meixuan Chen UCL Thesis submitted for the examination of Doctor of Philosophy July 2013 I, Meixuan Chen, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract This thesis draws on 18 months of participation observation in a Hakka-speaking, lineage-dominated village in Guangdong Province in South China. It is concerned with the perspective of the village locals interacting with the return of huaqiao (Overseas Chinese) since the 1980s. Huaqiao contribute significantly to the village infrastructure and welfare provision. This thesis asks: do lineage-village community traditions and values necessarily hinder the individualisation process; and how do we understand the individualistic pursuits in the notionally communal projects? The thesis documents the moral, socio-economic impact of the return of Overseas Chinese on the local villagers. This is done by examining key events, individuals and rituals. The ethnographic data includes the disputed demolition of a public building and the naming of private houses; two key individuals, a vengeful son who returned and an “actually existing matriarch”; and the co-existing practices of earth burial and cremation. The thesis analyses the power of lineage elite elders; individualism and traditional collectivism; the local logic of success and bitterness; women’s power in the lineage-dominated community and social differentiation. The return of huaqiao exposes the dual nature of village practices and events, which are often seen as communal and family projects.
