The relevance of media education in primary schools in Hong Kong in the age of new media: a case study

In this age of new media, children are exposed to media messages at an early age. What can we do when the mass media exert such a great influence on children? One proposal has been for the introduction of a new school subject: media education. Though media education has not been part of the official curriculum in Hong Kong, some schools, both primary and secondary, have tried it out. This paper argues for the desirability of introducing media education in primary schools in Hong Kong, with regard to social change, recent education reform and learning initiatives of primary pupils. It then draws on the findings of a study conducted in a local primary school to examine the views of pupils, parents, and teachers on the effects on pupils of the implementation of media education lessons and campus radio projects in this age of new media.     

Education and the Hong Kong umbrella movement

Abstract

This special issue of Educational Philosophy and Theory considers the Hong Kong Umbrella Movement as an educational event, which has impacted attitudes and outlooks and conceptions of young people’s role, of education, and of society. This essay serves as an introduction to the more substantive pieces that follow. It describes two alternative perspectives on youth civic engagement in Hong Kong historically; and in so doing, it addresses some of the challenges related to free academic expression that hinder scholarly research and publishing on the area of Hong Kong-China relations looking into the future. It concludes with a brief glimpse of the contributions that follow.     

六朝会稽孔氏家族研究

会稽孔氏是六朝时期江东著名的世家大族,自东汉末南迁会稽山阴以来,历六朝传承不绝。在“吴姓”中,它虽然较早就步入了文化家族的行列,但直到南真刘宋以后才真正实现由武力强宗向文化世家的转变,因而其发展轨迹既与顾、陆等文化世家不同,也与周、沈等武力强宗有别。

2O世纪30年代粤港走私问题探析

20世纪30年代，由于政治、地理及经济等因素，也由于世界经济危机风暴的冲击、粤港两地走私现象日趋猖獗。这不但严重影响了粤港间的正常贸易活动，同时也造成了国货滞销的局面，在一定程度上抑制了国内经济的发展。     

上帝家庭与太平天国政治

上帝家庭在太平天国起义酝酿时期和开国初期，曾经作为重要的宗教、政治制度构件发挥过积极作用。上帝家庭亲属关系凌驾于凡间肉身宗亲关系之上，是天京事变前太平天国宗法制度的主要特征。而后期洪秀全重建的以洪氏胞族为核心的上帝家庭，却因为他试图使其凌驾于权力中枢之上而遭到了失败。     

谈邓小平"一国两制"思想对香港政制发展的意义

邓小平“一国两制”思想对香港政制发展具有重大现实意义。“一国”是“两制”的前提,中央对香港政制发展有主导权和决定权;以爱国者为主体的港人治港是“一国两制”的必然要求,也是保证香港政制良性发展的必要条件;“一国两制”是促进香港民主政治包括政制发展的根本前提;基本法是实施“一国两制”的法律保证,也是香港政制发展的基础和保证。     

Making the transition to higher education in Hong Kong: a tale of two cohorts

The academic year 2012/13 marked a major milestone in the history of Hong Kong higher education as it witnessed the admission of two markedly different cohorts of Cantonese-speaking freshmen to the city’s English-medium universities: those embarking for the last time upon the traditional 3-year programme modelled on the British system of initial disciplinary specialisation and those commencing the new 4-year programme featuring an American-influenced first year of general education. This article presents the findings of a study which sought to compare the perceptions and experiences of the two cohorts on the challenging process of adjusting to the demands of university study. It was hypothesised that students in the 3-year cohort (3YC) would experience fewer difficulties adjusting to university learning and teaching than the 4-year cohort (4YC) as it was assumed that their A-level programme (years 12–13) placed greater emphasis on university-related skills, practices and habits of mind than the new senior-secondary curriculum (years 10–12). This hypothesis was tested by means of a survey completed by 1480 students at Hong Kong Polytechnic University towards the end of the academic year. The results largely support this hypothesis, although the evidence suggests that both cohorts had adjusted moderately well to university study by the end of the year. The results indicate that the principal difference between the two cohorts and the key to the 3YC’s smoother transition was their greater confidence and competence in English, which presumably stemmed from their extra year at school and the greater depth of the traditional sixth-form curriculum.     

School–Family–Community Partnership in Hong Kong – Perspectives and Challenges

This paper reviews the school–family partnership in Hong Kong in the past decade. The typology of Epsteins six types of partnership is adopted as the analytical framework. The results show that there has been an increase in shared experience in school education among various stakeholders. Schools have become more convinced that they have a role to play in various types of partnership. Home–school contacts have become more informal and two-way. Teachers have been changing their views of how capable are parents in supporting the school. However, the increase in communication does not seem to focus on childrens learning. The relationship of the school-sponsoring bodies and the Government was hampered in the exercise of widening the governance structure. Hong Kong parents mainly serve as supporters of their children at home in the past. They have now also become customers, and to some extent learners, volunteers and managers in school education.
