寫字教材中字詞排序的理念和實踐潘慧如 摘要識字教學中的認字和寫字應分途進行。「多認少寫」是目前教育界所提倡的。然而，甚麼字最適合孩子初學書寫的呢？本文旨在說明編纂寫字教材的理念和方法。首先，筆者一方面訂下寫字教材設計的原則；一方面根據學術研究的成果，選出漢字常用的成字部件。然後，按原則把部件依次編排並組合成常用詞語作書寫的字頭。這套寫字教材共八冊，刊印前曾在香港一所幼稚園試行了兩年。 關鍵詞：部件識字法；寫字教材；成字部件 AbstractIn the teaching of Chinese characters, word recognition and writing should be taught separately. "More word recognition and less writing" is the vogue in Chinese language teaching nowadays. When children learn to write, which Chinese characters should they start with first? This article presents ideas and methods to develop Chinese character writing materials. The writer proposed rules on the design of Chinese character writing materials based on usage frequency derived from research findings. A list of common vocabulary is compiled and used as the headwords for writing practice. This set of Chinese character writing materials has been piloted in a kindergarten for two years before publication. |

香港家長參與學童學習中文的調查研究文英玲 摘要本研究旨在調查香港初小階段學童的家長對參與子女學習中文的看法。在成功收回的1,356份家長問卷及50份中文科教師問卷中發現，香港家長普遍滿意子女的中文表現。他們對支援子女學習中文抱積極正面的態度，然而他們深感缺乏有效的方法，故期望學校提供有關的支援。調查顯示，低收入及低學歷的家長，在物質和精神上都感到匱乏，期待支援。此外，香港中文科教師跟香港家長存在不同看法，亟須理解與交流，以促進學童學習中文的效能。 關鍵詞：家長參與；語文學習；家校合作 AbstractThe aim of this study is to investigate the attitudes of parents of junior primary students toward involvements in their children's Chinese language learning. A total of 1,356 and 50 questionnaires were collected respectively from parents and Chinese language teachers for the investigation. In general, Hong Kong parents are found to be satisfied with their children's performance in Chinese language learning and they also have a positive attitude in supporting children's Chinese language learning. However, the data collected reveals that effectual supporting methods for the above are lacking and more related supports from schools are highly expected by parents. The investigation further reveals that those parents who have lower monthly household income and educational qualifications need more assistance, both materialistically and mentally. Moreover, because of different views of Chinese language teachers and parents on students' Chinese language learning, further communication and mutual understanding between the two parties are very much needed to facilitate the effectiveness of students' Chinese language learning. |

從教育／幼教品質之定義看其對幼稚園評鑑制度之啟示簡楚瑛 摘要本文探討教育／幼教品質之定義，幼稚園評鑑制度之定義、目的、內容及其與教育／幼教品質的關係。從六個角度來看教育／幼教品質之定義，包括教育成果、標準的符合、不同利害關係人的角度、教育結構與過程、系統角度和全面品質管理。通過文獻分析發現教育／幼教品質之定義充滿主觀性、多元性及相對性，故無論以何角度來下定義，皆涉及主觀判斷。文末提出教育／幼教品質之定義對幼稚園評鑑制度的五點啟示。 關鍵詞：幼兒教育；評鑑；品質 AbstractThis article examines the definition of quality of early childhood/education and the definition, goals, and content of kindergarten evaluation in relation to this definition. The definitions of quality of early childhood education are discussed from six perspectives: outcome-determined quality; standard-based quality; views of different stakeholders; structural and process quality; quality related to the system and total quality management. The literature shows that there is an element of subjectivity, plurality and relativity in the definition. In other words, the quality of early childhood education is subjectively judged and defined no matter what perspective is taken. The author concludes with five implications of the definition of quality of early childhood/education for the evaluation of kindergartens. |

小學科學探究活動：促進兒童科學思維的發展蘇詠梅、鍾媚 摘要通過科學探究促進兒童對科學的理解，發展科學思維及探究能力，是科學教育中一重要議題。本文以近三屆「常識百搭」科學專題探究活動中獲傑出表現隊伍的書面報告和口頭匯報，從產生意念、提出問題、調查測試、資料處理及經驗總結五個角度分析學生進行探究的過程特點，提供科學思維發展的概貌。結果發現學生的問題意識較強，能清楚陳述目的，收集和整理資料，具歸納推理能力；在判定問題、公平比較與反思質疑等科學思維上則較薄弱。 關鍵詞：小學科學；科學探究；科學思維 AbstractScientific Inquiry has been seen as an important goal of science education to facilitate scientific understanding and develop scientific thinking and scientific processes. This paper makes reference to written reports and oral presentations of the outstanding teams of the last three Primary Science Project Exhibitions based on five aspects: idea generation, asking of questions, investigation and testing, data collection and interpretation and the evaluation of experience. The study aims to provide a better general picture of children's science thinking during the scientific inquiry process. Findings show that children had an inquiring mind and could raise appropriate questions, state aims of the inquiry clearly, collect and organize information well, and could reason and draw conclusions. However, children were relatively weaker in the areas of making sound judgment, fair comparisons and critical reflection. |

初中科學探究活動：學生需要與設計策略鄭美紅 摘要本文報告一項學校本位科學課程發展計畫的成果，該計畫由香港教育學院與四所香港中學合作，旨在推動中學生發展科學探究技巧。為達到計畫目標，研究小組根據一個學校本位課程發展的模式，設計了一系列支援推行科學探究的教材。為訂立有效的策略設計科學探究活動，小組透過問卷收集學生對活動的回應。結果顯示該計畫對學生學習科學的興趣有著正面影響。文末介紹改善支援科學探究的支援策略，並以一個兩階段的設計模式來策畫科學探究。 關鍵詞：科學探究；專題探究；科學學習 AbstractThis paper describes the outcome of a science school-based curriculum development project, a collaborative effort between the Hong Kong Institute of Education and four secondary schools. The project attempted to promote the development of science investigation skills among secondary students. To achieve this objective, the project team devised a series of teaching resources to support the implementation of science investigation activities through a school-based curriculum development model. To formulate effective strategies to develop science investigation tasks, a questionnaire was administered to collect feedback from the students. The findings of the project provided evidence that there were positive influences on students' interest in learning science. The paper concludes by introducing strategies to improve and support science investigations and the planning of a two-stage model for scientific inquiry. |

Development of a Positive Youth Development Program in Hong Kong: Project P.A.T.H.S (Positive Adolescent Training Through Holistic Social Programs)Daniel T. L. SHEK & Patrick S. Y. LAU AbstractThis paper outlines the development of a positive youth development (PYD) program in Hong Kong. With reference to the adolescent developmental issues observed in Hong Kong, a positive youth development program with 2 tiers was designed. The Tier 1 Program is a universal positive youth development program for all students from Secondary 1 to Secondary 3. The Tier 2 Program is a selective program which targets adolescents with greater psychosocial needs. Programs in Tier 2 are developed by school social workers providing social work service in the schools. It was expected that Tier 1 and Tier 2 programs will strengthen positive youth development in the 15 positive youth development constructs identified in other successful PYD programs. Evaluation based on subjective outcome assessment, objective outcome assessment, qualitative evaluation and process evaluation will be carried out to examine the program effects. Keywords: positive youth development program; Chinese adolescents; youth development 摘要本文論述在香港建立一個「青少年正面發展計畫」的概况。針對香港青少年的發展需要，「共創成長路」計畫透過兩層的培育活動，提升青少年的正面發展。第一層培育活動是為全港中一至中三學生而設的全面性青少年正面成長培育活動，學生每學年參與合共10至20小時的課程。第二層培育活動則針對那些社會心理需要較大的學生及其家長，活動內容由申請機構社工建議及提供。本計畫的檢討方法包括客觀成效檢討、主觀成效檢討、質性檢討及過程檢討。 |
