参与式公民学习——香港公民教育政策的新动向

从过渡时期开始,港府公民教育政策中就开始渗透参与式公民学习的理念.回归祖国之后,"主动参与、积极实践、关心社会"的公民精神成为公民教育政策的灵魂.进入新世纪以来,港府通过资助大学开展公民教育计划、推进义工服务等方式来践行公民学习的理念.参与式公民学习对公民教育的意义表现在智性的理解、公民参与能力、公民态度和直接的公民参与四个方面.     

参与式公民学习与公民教育的实践建构

参与式公民学习以公民参与实践为基础,引导公民积极参与到社会公共生活当中,从而培育公民的公共精神、公民品德和公民实践能力。参与式公民学习克服了公民知识与公民实践、公民个体与公民社会的分裂状态,可以更好地实现前后者的有机融合。基于此,参与式公民学习可以成为公民教育的重要途径,公民教育通过搭建公共参与的实践平台能够更有效地发展学生的公民品质。参与式的公民教育鼓励学生积极参与到学校公共生活以及学校领域外的社会公共生活当中,建构积极的公民参与,最终实现公民教育的目标和使命。

Education,Civic Participation and Identity: Continuity and change in Hong Kong

This paper firstly identifies the major legacies inherited by the post-colonial government in Hong Kong, with reference to the key features of access, control and curriculum. Subsequently we examine the state's attempts to reconcile the tension between its quest for legitimacy and for stability. Two dimensions of education, namely the process of educational policy making and the nature of citizenship promoted through the school curriculum, are analysed in terms of the conceptions of civic participation and identity promoted and implemented by the state. In conclusion we point to the shift in the policy making process and the strengthening of policy actions designed to promote the state's conception of civic identity.

Technical Education in Hong Kong

The present study explores the environmental attitudes (EA) of senior high school students in Turkey, explains which determinant factors affect these EAs, and concludes with some suggestions for curricular reform. This study includes over nine hundred students from different school types, neighbourhoods, geographical regions, and socioeconomic backgrounds. The researcher used two different questionnaires that were based on postmaterialist values: one based on the New Environmental Paradigm (NEP) and the other developed by the researcher called the General Environmental Attitudes and Perceptions (GAP). The results of ANOVA and t‐tests show that EAs of students vary depending on school type, gender, parents' education levels, parents' political views, professions, and household income. Students at public high schools, females, lower middle class students, students with well educated parents in white‐collar professions, and students with liberal parents have more pro‐environmental attitudes than the others. Students from vocational schools, almost all of which are based on single‐sex education, have scored the lowest on both surveys.

Implementing General Education in Hong Kong: Government Policies,Institutional Responses,Opportunities and Challenges

In this paper, the authors explore the implementation of the government mandate in Hong Kong to move from three-year to four-year undergraduate degree programs which include studies in general education (GE), through an analysis of policies and activities related to the curriculum reform. While the authors are interested in the substance of these reforms, the primary objective is to explore the relationships between policy initiatives and implementation approaches at different levels. Using Scott’s (2001) new institutional theory as a framework, the authors discuss the policy implementation at the governmental, institutional norms, and cultural levels. By focusing on the complex interrelationships among influences at different levels within the institution, this paper identifies challenges in the implementation of the new four-year curriculum, and using a case study of one institution, offers suggestions for facilitating that implementation.
