The legitimacy of curriculum development in post-colonial Hong Kong: insights from the case of Liberal Studies

Liberal Studies was initially introduced as a non-statutory subject in Hong Kong in 1992. It then confronted intense opposition and a bumpy implementation path before securing mandatory status in the new senior secondary curriculum introduced in 2009. Recently, this core subject has been under review. Whilst it is considered to promote students’ socio-political participation, the subject has also been accused of triggering antagonism towards the government. In view of these concerns, this article probes teachers’ perceptions of the recent development of Liberal Studies and examines the dynamic interplay between the curriculum review and the potential political controversies surrounding the subject in post-colonial Hong Kong. Reporting the results of a study comprising questionnaire-based surveys and follow-up semi-structured interviews, it reveals that whilst teachers are worried about the proposed reduction of socio-political topics in the curriculum, they approve of incorporating additional China-related content. Furthermore, the participating teachers praised Liberal Studies for its notable impact on raising students’ social consciousness, which has motivated them to learn about community affairs and fight for justice. Finally, the article also explores the study’s profound implications for the further development of Liberal Studies and citizenship education in Hong Kong and beyond.

Is teacher education at risk? A tale of two cities – Hong Kong and Macau

Consequences of competition for global university rankings, such as changes in funding modes, have been extensively discussed in the field of higher education. However, few studies have reviewed its implications on knowledge production. This study provides a contextualised method for theorising the implications of this competition on the development of East Asian higher education, specifically teacher education. It identifies the new forms of knowledge being produced in two teacher education institutions in Hong Kong and Macau by reviewing the publications of new recruits in a five-year period. The study considers the following variables: author(s), date and form of publication, abstract, title, keywords, journal name, language, data source, research context and methods. The findings show that the dominant publication trends are towards quantitative research and multiple authors. Psychological research is the most popular area and studies of other long-term issues in teacher education are being marginalised.     

论葛洪"宏邈淫艳"的辞赋观

葛洪是我国东晋时期的一位思想家,他有着多方面的贡献。他在《抱朴子·外篇》中提出了"宏邈淫艳"的辞赋观,在中国文学理论的发展历程中为陆机和刘勰架设了一座重要的桥梁,对此应给予高度评价。但是,葛洪毕竟首先是一个哲学家。因此,我们必须坚持这样一个大前提,对他的辞赋观首先进行哲学探源,然后再进行文本分析。只有这样,才能对葛洪和他的辞赋观给予客观、合理的定位。

Acculturative challenges among Pakistani secondary school students in Hong Kong

Scholars have extensively studied acculturation from different theoretical perspectives among immigrants across the societies of settlement. However, there is a dearth of knowledge about acculturation from a culture learning approach in Hong Kong. This article reports the acculturative challenges among sixteen (16) Pakistani students from six different secondary schools in Hong Kong. The phenomenographic data analysis of semi-structured interviews revealed four categories of everyday experiences in schools that hinder their acculturation. These are mainly related to inter-ethnic interactions, sensitivity towards diverse learning and sociocultural needs, and the Chinese language teaching curriculum for non-Chinese speaking students. Although the study reports Pakistani students' experiences, the findings may also translate the acculturative challenges among students with an immigrant or ethnic minority background in settlement societies. The article also discusses both the theoretical and practical implications for studying and helping immigrant young people in multicultural contexts.     

电子全文期刊数据库:东方的中国期刊网(CJN)与西方的JSTOR

CJN和JSTOR都是跨学科的综合资料库 ,检索功能也类似 ,但JSTOR的检索功能更精细。图书馆订购CJN的费用约为JSTOR的 6倍 ,但若以每种期刊平均费用计算 ,CJN较便宜。图书馆要重新研究印刷版期刊和电子版期刊重复订购的问题及印刷版期刊装订、开架陈列、储存问题。表 1。参考文献 5。
