The University’s Graduate Attributes and seven Generic Intended Learning Outcomes (GILOs) represent the attributes of ideal EdUHK graduates and their expected qualities respectively. Learning outcomes work coherently at the University (GILOs), programme (Programme Intended Learning Outcomes) and course (Course Intended Learning Outcomes) levels to achieve the goal of nurturing students with important graduate attributes.

In gist, the Graduate Attributes for Undergraduate, Taught Postgraduate and Research Postgraduate students consist of the following three domains (i.e. in short “PEER & I”): ⚫ Professional Excellence; ⚫ Ethical Responsibility; & ⚫ Innovation.

The descriptors under these three domains are different for the three groups of students in order to reflect the respective level of Graduate Attributes.

The seven GILOs are: 1. Problem Solving Skills 2. Critical Thinking Skills 3. Creative Thinking Skills 4a. Oral Communication Skills 4b. Written Communication Skills 5. Social Interaction Skills 6. Ethical Decision Making 7. Global Perspectives

1. Course Synopsis This course aims to provide students with an opportunity to learn how to integrate science, mathematics and computing to strengthen their STEM knowledge and skills. It begins by introducing participants to the principles and processes of scientific inquiry. Participants will be guided to adopt the scientific inquiry approach to identify and investigate problems within authentic scientific contexts, such as dynamic interactions between living organisms in an ecosystem, effects of concentration on the rates of reactions, and relationship between motion and force. Participants will then be led to explain and predict scientific phenomena using the principles and ideas of mathematical modelling and data analytics. They will also be engaged in using engineering design and computational thinking to develop and test software prototypes for scientific investigation.

2. Course Intended Learning Outcomes (CILOs) Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

CILO1: Demonstrate an understanding of the principles and processes of scientific inquiry;

CILO2: Develop the ability to model scientific phenomena in mathematical forms;

CILO3: Design and evaluate software prototypes guided by engineering design and computational thinking; and

CILO4: Integrate and apply the knowledge and skills of scientific inquiry, mathematical modelling and computing for problem solving in authentic scientific contexts.

1. Course Synopsis: This course aims to introduce various approaches to the study of mathematical ideas, properties, and relationships in geometry with specific emphasis on Euclidean, non- Euclidean and transformation geometries.

This course will broaden the students’ understanding of geometry and its applications. Topics in Euclidean Geometry including congruence and similarity, geometric inequalities, parallelism, the Pythagorean Theorem are studied from an advanced standpoint. The approach to the material will be axiomatic and proofs will be required throughout. A brief treatment of Euclidean versus non-Euclidean geometries together with the historical development of these areas will provide students with a fuller understanding of the evolution and application of mathematical concepts. Geometric transformations such as reflections, rotations, translations, glide reflections and their applications in the study of symmetries, tessellations and classification of isometries will also be covered.

This course will equip school teachers with a sound knowledge of geometry as well as a deep understanding of its important role in problem-solving. They will gain from this course both competence and confidence to teach school geometry.

2. Course Intended Learning Outcomes (CILOs) Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: CILO1 : demonstrate an ability to prove results in axiomatic geometry. (1) State and explain the concepts of geometrical reasoning. (2) State and explain various fundamental axioms, theorems and techniques in various geometries. CILO2 : explain and apply the concepts of the basic Euclidean Geometry: Neutral Geometry and Nonneutral Geometry, and their relationships. (1) Explain the concepts of Neutral Geometry and its basic consequences. (2) Explain the concepts of Nonneutral Geometry and its basic consequences. (3) Apply the concepts of Euclidean geometry to solve construction problems. CILO3 : state and explain the development of non-Euclidean Geometry. (1) Explain the relationship between the parallel postulate (its equivalent forms) and non-Euclidean Geometry (2) State and explain the basic geometric differences in Euclidean and non-Euclidean Geometries CILO4 : state and explain the basic properties of geometric transformations and give examples. (1) State and explain the concepts of reflections, rotations, translations, glide-reflections and their properties (2) Explain the concepts of geometric transformations in the study of symmetries, tessellations and classification of isometries, and give related examples.

10. Others Honours Project I consists of two parts:

Part A “Generic Research Methods” (1 cp) introduces basic research knowledge and principles of research methods in education and related disciplines for students to use and/or conduct research in education. Course Tutors of the Faculty of Education and Human Development (FEHD) run this part of the course in the blended learning mode. Students study short online units and attend face-to-face tutorials in which they are guided to connect and consolidate online learning with in-class learning activities. The assessment tasks include online and in-class exercises on research methods.

Part B “Discipline-based Project Proposal Writing” (2 cp) prepares students to develop a proposal for conducting a research-based study in their chosen areas. Course Tutors in respective discipline areas guide students to identify a topic, conduct a literature review, select appropriate methods of data collection and analysis/inquiry, and write a proposal.
