Download or read book Education Reform and the Quest for Excellence written by Lok Sang Ho and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2005-11-01 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates and analyses critical issues in education reform and discusses possible pitfalls in the current global drive to promote excellence. Instead of documenting the successes and frustrations encountered by education reformers in specific jurisdictions, this book aims to offer directions for education reformers, and sets out to be prescriptive rather than descriptive. While the cases covered here are focused on Hong Kong, they are no less useful in throwing light upon the direction of education reform all over the world. The first section of the volume, “Conceptual Framework”, provides the theoretical underpinnings for the design and implementation of education reform. The next two sections, “Reform of Tertiary Education” and “Experiments, Dilemmas, and Risks in Secondary Schools” look at reform at the tertiary and secondary levels in greater detail. The final section, “Ideals vs. Reality: the Interplay of Diverse Interests and Diverse Perceptions”, looks at the conflicting goals and perceptions of different “stakeholders”, with a concluding chapter that summarizes the main lessons to be learnt. This book will be of interest to scholars, educators, parents, policymakers, politicians, and all who are concerned about our younger generation and their future. “The editors, Lok Sang Ho, Paul Morris and Yue-ping Chung are to be congratulated on producing a volume which is both hard-hitting and insightful about education reforms in Hong Kong. The range of experiences of the contributing authors contribute to a most interesting mix of perspectives about education reform. The focus is squarely on Hong Kong, in terms of general policy and reform issues, followed by more specific chapters dealing with issues of graduate teachers, English as a medium of instruction, and the role of the media. However, the issues raised are very applicable to many countries. This book is a valuable contribution to the literature on education reform.” —Professor Colin J. Marsh, Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education officials, specialist leaders and teachers have all been involved in different ways to bring about school reform in Hong Kong.

Through a process of wide-ranging decision-making, collaboration and consensus among key bodies and agencies of change, some important developments have occurred.

This volume represents a range of authors and specialists involved in a number of different reforms, covering themes such as historical policy contexts, new curriculum approaches, changing pedagogies, school leadership, implementation and change, and assessment and evaluation. This is a very topical book which provides a probing analysis of how an Asian education system has been able to reach and maintain a very high performing level.

Download or read book Changing the Curriculum written by Bob Adamson and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2000-11-01 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Target Oriented Curriculum (TOC) is arguably the most comprehensive, fundamental and controversial attempt to promote systemic curriculum reform in Hong Kong. It aimed at a radical change in the nature of knowledge, pedagogy and assessment in schools. After an initial phase of confusion and criticism, this ambitious reform was revamped and vigorously promoted, but within a few years, it totally lost momentum as other educational issues attracted the attention of policy-makers. This book traces the career of TOC and studies the impact of the reform on the education system, subjects, schools and teachers. Drawing on a four-year multi-level research project, the chapters provide a deep understanding of the complex nature of educational reform and how a new curriculum is interpreted, developed and implemented. Besides providing a fascinating portrayal of the experiences of the TOC reform, this book offers lessons for future curriculum change in Hong Kong and elsewhere. 'This', writes Ivor Goodson in the Foreword, 'is curriculum research at its best.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education reform has become a highly political issue in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) since the transfer of sovereignty to the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Lo and Hung focus on the political struggles among stakeholders, including the government of Hong Kong, the Catholic Church, parents, students, teachers, the central authorities of Beijing, and even the bureaucratic politics between Beijing, the Hong Kong government and the Examination Authority. They examine the key elements of education reform in the HKSAR, including language and curriculum reform, national security education, civic and patriotic education, the rise of the pro-Beijing education elites and interest groups, and the revamp of examination questions and examination authority. The entire education reform in the HKSAR has pushed the Hong Kong education system toward a process of mainlandization, making Hong Kong’s education system more similar to the mainland system with emphasis on political "correctness" in the understanding of Chinese national security, history and culture. Highlighting the political struggles among the various stakeholders, this book is essential for scholars of Hong Kong and China, especially those with an interest in the relationship between education and politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being a teacher is often thought of as an emotionally fulfilling job, with many positive experiences in watching students grow and mature. However, as Tsang’s research shows, there are plenty of negative emotional experiences in this line of work as well. Given the recent attention towards mental health and well-being, this book addresses these negative experiences and provides recommendations for dealing with them. Focusing on teachers in Hong Kong, Tsang investigates the social mechanisms that arouse such negative emotional experiences, otherwise known as caam2. He asserts that these feelings are socially constructed, and it is only by understanding the causes and feelings can we begin to improve teachers’ emotional well-being and teaching quality. Using a theoretical framework based on a critical review and synthesis of five existing perspectives, including labor process perspective, school administration perspective, emotional labor perspective, social interaction perspective, and teacher identity perspective, Tsang does precisely that, exploring the social process of these emotional experiences and the interplay between teacher agency and social structure. These findings go a long way in ameliorating teacher experiences all over the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing impact of globalization has affected educational development in many parts of the globe. In order to maintain national competitiveness in the global marketplace, governments across the world have started to review their education systems and introduce different reform initiatives in education in order to enhance the global capacity of their citizens. This book adopts the wider perspective of globalization in order to examine and critically reflect upon the origin, evolution and development of the Quality Education Movement in Hong Kong. It pays particular attention to how Hong Kong's education has been affected by the global trend to economic rationalism and managerialism. More specifically, the major aim of this book is to examine and analyse the most recent reform measures adopted by the HKSAR in its quest for quality education in Hong Kong. This book is divided into four parts. Part One provides the theoretical/conceptual framework and historical context for the book. Part Two focuses on approaches to quality education. Part Three focuses on policy change and education reforms that are operationalized in school and higher education institutions. Part Four is a reflection and conclusion. The editors discuss the impacts and the costs of managerialism in the education sector, and suggest the kind of policy implications it might have when adopting a managerial approach in education.

Abstract: ABSTRACT Hong Kong teacher Identity: Perceived and Intended submitted by Chan Ka Hing Alexander For the degree of Master of Education at the University of Hong Kong August, 2005 This exploratory study examines the intended and perceived identity of Hong Kong Teacher. This is addressed from a largely psychological perspective in the context of Hong Kong secondary schools engaged in educational reform. The research objectives were to: (1) identify the perceived identities in terms of commitment to education beliefs and teaching career; (2) look at the degree of convergence between the proposed teacher identities proposed by ACTEQ (2003) and the perceived identity of teachers; (3) examine the degree of convergence between perceived identity and professional identity in terms of definitions defined by Deijaard et al.{ 2000). And (4) consider the extent of the teacher's perceived efficacy in student learning. This study looked at three important components of the identity of the Hong Kong teacher, commitment, teaching focus and efficacy. The methodology was interpretive and emphasizing phenomena studied in their natural settings and in terms of the meanings people bring to them. The findings are based on 21 questionnaires and 7 in-depth semi-structured interviews. Findings exposed there are dilemmas and tensions among commitment, teaching focus and efficacy. Most of the teachers exhibited low job satisfactions but were committed to their job. The decline was due to changing working environment and declining learning attitude and academic understanding of students. Other teachers uphold their commitment by taking up reforms and work to their best and maintain commitment despite decline in interest. However, commitment of some teachers increased over time because they recognized commitment is a critical success factor in teaching career. In general teachers were well aware of their noble responsibility and were committed to their job despite low job satisfaction. While majority of the teachers agreed to most values embraced by the ACTEQ identity proposal, they were skeptical about the measures and evaluation designed to facilitate the acquisition of such values. They contested the degree of commitment implied. Moreover, teaching foci have been constrained by emphasis on academic excellence, heavy workload and education reforms, under which it was difficult to take care of individual student differences. Efficacy was a key element to bridge beliefs and practice. Most teachers had a feeling of low efficacy in influencing student's academic results but were more confident in helping students in moral development. Low confidence in influencing students' academic results because (i) students learning are influenced by many factors which are considered to be more powerful than teachers, (ii) The standard curriculum, which cannot take care of individual difference. A dilemma between teachers' beliefs and actual practice has steadily taken its toll on the confidence of teachers. Teachers in Hong Kong have a contrived professional identity. On the one hand, they fully embrace the proposed ideal values but with reservation of the commitment expected. On the other hand, their perceived beliefs and actual practice are not in harmony because they see an unsupportive education environment.
