Abstract: The student evaluation of teaching is a crucial method to evaluate the teaching effectiveness and widely used in most universities and colleges all over the world. There are large literatures related to the student evaluation of teaching. However, less research focused on the students and even the taught postgraduate students' perceptions. As such, the purpose of the current study was to explore and understand the Master of Education students' perceptions on the teaching evaluation. Specifically, this study set out to identify their expectations and motivations on the teaching evaluation. In total, 15 MEd students at the University of Hong Kong participated in individual interviews in an effort to identify their own opinions on the teaching evaluation including willingness, expectation and motivations, as well as the items of evaluation form. In doing so, the study revealed that most students were willing to do the evaluation, but they couldn't get any follow up actions next. The motivations for them to rate teaching is that they believed the evaluations were meaningful and as a chance for them to express their personal ideas. Furthermore, the findings demonstrated that students' evaluations were related to their expectation and personal feelings on the course and teachers.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled The Implementation of Project-Based Learning: An Evaluation submitted by HUI Yu Chun Lorena for the degree of Master of Education at the University of Hong Kong in August 2004 Educational reform in Hong Kong uses life long learning and learning to learn as the main themes and this further suggests new mode of learning and teaching. Project-based learning (PBL), which is a new learning and teaching model that centres around projects, is one of the four key tasks in the education reform that is in line with the aims and objectives of learning to learn. The purposes of this research is to explore and have an in-depth understanding of the strengths, difficulties and challenges experienced by students and teachers in the implementation of PBL in a HK secondary school. In order to evaluate the advantages, difficulties and challenges in the implementation of PBL, a qualitative, case study design is employed to facilitate the discussion. The research aims at the advantages and effectiveness of PBL from the point of view of educator and researcher. Despites evidence from overseas research that show there are i iabundance of advantages in conducting PBL, it is discovered that the implementation of PBL come across the difficulties and challenges in this research study. First, students encounter technical problems in application in different stage of PBL. Secondly, time management is one of the weaker aspects in PBL. Thirdly, students are relatively passive and the problem of social loafing and free riding exists. Fourthly, collaboration and effective communication break down cause double standard in the implementation of PBL. Fifthly, the current curriculum and examination systems hinder the implementation of PBL. Sixthly, PBL is a new instructional knowledge which experienced and new teachers find that professional training is inadequate. Finally, involvement of parents is debatable. In conclusion, the challenges and difficulties are complex and more time is required to solve the difficulties, especially in the aspects of innovative classroom instruction pedagogy and skills, involved community and skilful educator. ii ii DOI: 10.5353/th_b3014386 Subjects: Project method in teaching - China - Hong Kong - Case studies Junior high school teachers - China - Hong Kong - Attitudes Junior high school students - China - Hong Kong - Attitudes

Abstract: This dissertation seeks to document a local Hong Kong secondary school's implementation of assessment for learning in the form of a case study. While the majority of previous studies on "formative assessment," a term used interchangeably with "assessment for learning" in this dissertation, have focused primarily on modifying teachers' teaching methods and their perspectives regarding formative assessment, there are hardly any studies that invite other perspectives, such as the students' (Carless, 2011). Adopting a qualitative approach using mostly interviews and some observation, the researcher conducted a case study at a local secondary school in Hong Kong to study how staff members of a school realize a government educational reform goal, the implementation of assessment for learning, into action. In order to gain further insight into this matter, the researcher also invited some student opinions through questionnaires regarding their learning experiences relating to the implementation of assessment for learning. Results of this study suggest a need for continual help on behalf of the local government to provide supplementary assistance in guidance and education regarding assessment for learning for teachers and staff members of schools that are planning to or are currently going through the implementation of assessment for learning. Furthermore, due to the increasing workload of teachers during the implementation of assessment for learning, the desire for an employment of additional teachers to distribute and lessen the workload is also prominent amongst teachers; therefore, additional funding for schools to hire more teachers would be most helpful. An online platform primarily for parents and students to track student learning progress employed by the school under study is commendable for its positive effects on learning attitudes and results. The "laissez-faire" philosophy of the principal of the school under study not only grants teachers professional autonomy, but also is central to the harmonious cooperative working climate of the teachers in the school. As for students, although assessment for learning is promising for the improvement of their academic results in the long run, it takes time and patience to get used to new methods of learning and thinking. In such a way, perhaps it would be more beneficial for assessment for learning practices to be introduced earlier in students' learning careers in order to better internalize effective learning habits as well as positive learning attitudes.

Abstract: ABSTRACT of thesis entitled Teachers' perceptions of assessment for learning: A study of secondary school teachers in Hong Kong submitted by YAU KA MAN For the degree of Master of Education at the University of Hong Kong August, 2004 A paradigm shift in assessment, with the emphasis on assessment for learning, currently prevails in many parts of the world, including Hong Kong. Despite strong promotion, the implementation of assessment for learning around the world has not been as so widespread in schools as expected. 'Teachers' perceptions of assessment for learning' may be the most influential factor explaining reluctance and their actions in practice which are being affected by their current classroom beliefs and actions. This study provides insights into the factors affecting the implementation of assessment for learning in Hong Kong secondary schools from an examination of teachers' perceptions. In turn, suggestions for more effective implementation are explored. This study used an interpretative, qualitative approach. The subjects of the study were six secondary school teachers in Hong Kong who were classified into two polar types-conservative and innovative. As such, the study represents a study involving six cases. Interview was the main data collection method, although documents and students' work were collected, in some cases, for triangulation. Analysis followed Miles and Huberman (1984, 1994) as well as Strauss and Corbin (1990, 1998). iiThe findings of this study showed that assessment for learning was not a common practice among the secondary school teachers. Their perceptions of assessment for learning were varied and confusion of meaning seemed apparent in many cases. In contrast with the hopes in the literature and the education reform reports of Hong Kong, three of the six subjects didn't view assessment for learning as an effective tool to improve student learning. The findings also suggested some determining factors and related challenges that led to such perceptions and actions. However, 'character and personality of teachers' seemed the most influential and decisive factor. Based on these findings, measures for promoting further initiation and implementation of assessment for learning were suggested with a focus on changing the mindsets of teachers through increasing their exposure to the current assessment change. Re-prioritization of teachers' duties should also be considered and carried out seriously. iii DOI: 10.5353/th_b3028071 Subjects: Educational tests and measurements - China - Hong Kong Educational change - China - Hong Kong High school teachers - China - Hong Kong - Attitudes

Abstract: ABSTRACT of thesis entitled School self-evaluation in Hong Kong in relation to professional development submitted by Wong Shiu Ying For the degree of Master of Education at the University of Hong Kong August, 2005 This study explores the impacts of school self-evaluation (SSE) on teachers' professional development in Hong Kong. The research findings in many Western literatures show that school self-evaluation supports teachers' learning. In Hong Kong, however, school self-evaluation is newly introduced. It is necessary to find out whether it really promotes and sustains teachers' development in the local context. A local secondary school with a strong traditional culture was selected as the study context, and a case-study approach was adopted to examine teachers' views on school self-evaluation in relation to their professional development. The findings were largely based on semi-structured interviews with teachers, triangulated with observations and documents analysis. The research findings suggest that teachers in general did not see any significant impacts of school self-evaluation on their professional learning. Teachers' learning appears to be influenced by the learning environment nurtured by the school and also the way the school implements SSE. Supportive school administration, adequate school leadership and collaborative teacher culture were found to contribute to a constructive learning environment. The way of implementation could also affect teachers' active sharing and teachers' democratic modes of thinking in the learning process. Reliance on a set of quantitative indicators was found to impede teachers' professional learning. This study provides insight to local school developers into the implementation of school self-evaluation in a way, which fosters teachers' professional development. i DOI: 10.5353/th_b3568389 Subjects: Teacher effectiveness - China - Hong Kong Educational evaluation - China - Hong Kong High school teachers - China - Hong Kong - Attitudes

Book excerpt: There has been growing interest in recent years in the influence of tests on teaching and learning - a phenomenon commonly referred to as 'washback'. Despite persistent assertions about its nature and scope, empirical studies investigating test washback are still limited in number, and few of these make use of both qualitative and quantitative methods in washback research. This volume presents a study of how the introduction of the 1996 Hong Kong Certificate of Education in English - a high stakes public examination - impacted on classroom teaching and learning in Hong Kong secondary schools. The washback effect was observed initially at the larger 'macro' level, among different stakeholder groups within the Hong Kong educational context; and also at the more local 'micro' level, in terms of teachers' attitudes, teaching content and classroom interactions. This study: provides a theoretical background to the washback concept, discusses the need for empirical investigation of washback, describes the use of a mixed methodology approach in washback research, offers insights into the role of tests as agents of innovation and change in the classroom and broader educational context. This volume will be of particular relevance to language test developers and researchers interested in the consequential validity of tests; it will also be of interest to teachers, curriculum designers, policymakers and others in education concerned with the interface between language testing and teaching practices/programs.
