Abstract: |
|
This study focuses on teachers'
perspectives of a curriculum innovation, supplemented by views of teacher
educators. Teachers in many parts of the world are faced with implementing
multiple innovations, yet this reform activity is often symbolic rather than
having expectations that fundamental change will arise (Cuban, 1990) and
there is often a mismatch between curriculum intentions and classroom
realities (Morris, 1996). An upshot is that many well-intentioned curriculum
plans fail to have much impact on schools because various issues have not
been addressed, such as teacher readiness, teacher understanding and teacher
attitudes. Bailey (2000) argues that change processes might be more effective
if "researchers, policymakers and administrators worked with teachers
rather than on them" (p.113), underpinning the focus of this study on
teachers' perceptions.The aim of this study is to gauge teachers' and teacher
educators' (identified as key stakeholders) viewpoints on task-based
teaching, a key component of current English language teaching (ELT)
syllabuses in Hong Kong. Task-based teaching represents a current orthodoxy
within contemporary ELT, falls within the general umbrella of communicative
language teaching and can be seen as a development from it. The main
rationale for carrying out task-based teaching is that the process of
carrying out tasks is hypothesized as triggering language acquisition through
the communicative interaction stimulated by the task (Skehan, 1998). More
pragmatically, tasks can provide motivating opportunities for students to put
language into use. But how effectively do stakeholders perceive that tasks
are carried out in the |

Objectives. Educational and curriculum reforms have now placed much emphasis on new forms of learning including collaboration, information technology, and assessment for learning. This proposed project examines the question of how collaboration in computer-supported environments can be assessed, and specifically, how assessment can be designed to foster collaborative inquiry. Our objectives include: (a) To design an approach using principles of formative and embedded assessments for promoting collaborative inquiry; (b) To investigate the roles and effects of the assessment approach in fostering students' collaboration, inquiry, and domain understanding, and (c) To characterize the process and dynamics of collaborative inquiry in computer discussion. Perspectives. Whereas networked computer discussion is becoming increasingly popular for promoting collaboration, many challenges and difficulties exist pertaining to the quality and variability in student participation. It is common to hear teachers wonder how to encourage students to write, how to assess student participation, and how to respond to the many notes. Research has shown that asking student to discuss on computer forums does not necessarily lead to high-quality discourse(Hewitt, 2003; Lipponen et al., 2003). Misalignments between learning and assessment often exist -- Computer forums encouraging inquiry and collaboration are advocated but assessment continues to be competitive and content-focused (Chan & van Aalst, 2004; Reeve, 2000). How can students best learn about inquiry and collaboration when engaging in computer-supported discourse? How can classroom assessments tap into the theoretical nature of collaborative process while providing pedagogical support in scaffolding student understanding? Currently, much interest has been given to "assessment for learning" -- Assessment is seen not only to measure but also to provide positive backwash effects to foster student learning. Emphasis has been given to constructive alignment of learning and assessment, setting rubrics, making criteria transparent, and self- and peer assessments (Biggs, 1995; Gipps, 2004; Shepard, 2000). Accordingly, this project aims to design a social-constructivist assessment approach that turns the responsibility to students in evaluating their own progress guided by criteria in the context of Knowledge Forum, a computer-supported environment (Scardamalia & Bereiter, 2003). My earlier research has examined the roles of electronic portfolio; this project continues this line of research refining the design and extending the assessment approach to incorporate both quantitative and qualitative strategies of assessments.Background & Related Work The PI is an international collaborator of the OISE/U of Toronto Knowledge-Building Team (IKIT); knowledge building work spans over 20 countries. Her research on assessment in computer-supported knowledge building has led to international recognition including publication, dissemination of exemplary work among IKIT, and a Research paper award at an International conference on computer-supported learning, 2005. This proposed project continues her program of research on portfolio assessments now extending to designing more comprehensive strategies. |

Key issues and prblems addressed
Historically, Hong Kong emerged from an entrepot in 1841 and today, it has
become one of the world’s leading financial and business center for the
Asia-Pacific region, performing a ‘hub’ role as the gateway for China;
entrepreneurs have been crucial to the success of its economic development.
Despite the abrupt changes in the global economic downturn in recent years,
Hong Kong still excels and continues to prosper; this is partly because there
is a pool of entrepreneurial talents and enterprises who work untiringly to
meet the changing economic situation. As the result of globalization, Hong
Kong economic activities are becoming complicated and there is a rapid rise
in the number of small-to-medium-sized organizations (SMEs). At present small
and medium-sized enterprises represent 98 percent of all local enterprises.
It is true to say that entrepreneurs are important to the sustainable
economic development in Hong Kong. Despite this, a recent survey conducted by
Hugh Thomas, Associate Professor of Finance at CUHK, which helped conduct the
survey for the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor noted that only 3 out of every
100 people in Hong Kong started their own business in the previous 42 months –
ranking the city third last among the 35 economies surveyed. This is stunning

The present project is the first one to focus on how Chinese dyslexics learn English as L2. The main purpose of the present study concerns the following questions: 1) Do Chinese dyslexic children have difficulties in learning to read and write English as L2? 2) To what extent are the underlying cognitive and linguisitc skills in L1 and L2 different? 3) What are the typical profiles of Chinese dyslexic learners learning L2? and 4) How learners' affective and socio-contextual factors including home literacy support and practices affect both L1 and L2 acquisition success and failure? |

Abstract: |
|
The aim of this project is to develop a strategy that enhances the design of learning objects for Pocket PC mode of delivery. This will be achieved through understanding the limitations of this environment for effective visualization and interactivity (Bederson and Shneiderman, 2003; Fraser, 1999; Nardi, 1997; Tufte, 1983). Once developed the strategy will be useful as heuristics for individuals engaged in the design of learning objects for delivery in Pocket PC environments. These individuals might be teachers or multimedia designers engaged in preparation of educational resources. This understanding will also be useful as a guideline to teachers who intend to use such technology with their students, providing information on the limitations as well as the kinds of support necessary to ensure effective learning. Learning objects are most effective when designed as interactive visual representations of data, information and knowledge (Jonassen and Churchill, 2004; Churchill, 2004). Such interactive and visual representations allow learners to examine data, retrieve information, generalize, experiment, practice, test assumptions (Churchill, 2003). Use of an effective interactive learning object potentially leaves a residue in a form of a cognitive resource which adds to overall intellectual capacity of learners (Churchill, 2005). This understanding of learning objects is in line with contemporary theories of learning which confirm that it is important to plan for technology integration in support of learners' engagement in an activity where they conduct inquiries, solve problems, innovate and collaborate (Engeström, 1987; Jonassen, and Carr, 2000; Jonassen and Rohrer-Murphy, 1999; Salomon, Perkins, and Globerson, 1991). We have very limited guidelines in relation to effective design of interactive learning objects for Pocket PC mode of delivery (Luchini, Quintana, and Soloway, 2004) Most of the interactive learning objects have been designed for delivery over standard computers. There are rare attempts by designers to create learning objects for the Pocket PC environment. Most attempts to design education content for this mode of delivery are reduced to creating e-books as a scrollable text with some illustrations and very limited interactivity. Squeezing a lot of text and images in limited screen space is clearly a problem for a consumer of this material. |

Abstract: |
|
Since the early eighties, various models of partnership between university and schools have emerged and studies of such models have been reported in the literature. However, these studies have largely focused on the institutional dimension of partnership. Few have investigated partnership from the perspective of multiple forms of, and contexts for, professional learning that are afforded by partnership. This volume examines the opportunities for learning afforded by school-university partnership from the perspective of a social theory of learning which sees participation in social practice as fundamental to the process of learning and knowing; it not only shapes one’s experience but also the community in which one participates (Lave, 1988, Lave and Wenger, 1991, Wenger, 1998). Wenger argues that only a community in which practice is the source of coherence can be considered a “community of practice”, and he outlines three dimensions in which practice brings about coherence in a community: mutual engagement, the negotiation of a joint enterprise and the development of a shared repertoire (p. 73). Using the above theory of learning as social participation and the concept of communities of practice as a framework, the book examines the communities of practice that were brought about by partnership established between The University of Hong Kong and schools in Hong Kong. It analyses the learning that takes place as the participants, that is, the student-teachers, mentor teachers, and university supervisors, mutually engage in the joint enterprise of improving teaching and learning in schools, develop shared practices, and create new communities of practice. The relations that are developed as communities of practice interact will also be explored. The book concludes by identifying the conditions that are necessary to bring about learning in communities of practice. |

Purpose of the Research ProjectThe
overarching goal of this research is to examine Hong Kong Chinese students'
perception of school satisfaction, and its relationships with their
intrapersonal factors, that is, academic and social self-efficacy,
self-esteem, hope, and the school contextual factors, that is teacher
support, peer support, and peer victimization. Key issues to be
addressedRecently, increased research attention has been given to children's
and adolescents' perceived life satisfaction (e.g. Huebner et al., 2004 in
USA; Park, 2005 in Korea; Chang et al., 2003, in HK). Schooling is an
important aspect of life for young people. This experience, satisfying or
not, is bound to affect their quality of life, and their psychological
well-being. School dissatisfaction has been found to be related to poor
academic performance, increased behavioural difficulties, and school drop-out
(see Barker et al., 2003). However, research on school satisfaction is scarce
and is limited to studies in western settings. Grounded in Deiner's theory of
subjective well-being (see Deiner, 1984), these studies have defined school
satisfaction as 'a cognitive-affective evaluation of overall satisfaction
with one's school experience' (Huebner, et al. 2001, p. 168). Findings have
suggested that high school students did not rate school life as satisfying
(Huebner et al., 2001), and school satisfaction was not related to
demographic variables such as gender and grade. There was an
interrelationship among life experiences, academic self-efficacy, locus of
control, and school satisfaction though (Huebner & McCullough, 2000;
Huebner et al., 2001). In addition, school environmental variables, such as
supportive school climate and classroom context for example, were found to be
related to school satisfaction (Baker, 1999; Verkuyten & Thijs, 2002).
Other determinants of school satisfaction include students' educational
performance and peer victimization, which were mediated by perceived
scholastic competence and social self-esteem (Verkuyten & Thijs, 2002). These
findings, though significant, need to be validated and extended to
non-western settings. People's views of their quality of life and subjective
well-being differ culturally (see Diener et al., 1999). Chinese culture
emphasizes learning and academic achievement. Academic performance is
perceived as a major concern for |

To explore the use of computers as a supportive environment for creative activities and exploration of ideas by pupils (as opposed to the common use of computers for delivery of knowledge). In particular, this research intends to: 1) look into the process of creative writing to explore the desirable features of a computing environment for encouraging students to engage in creative writing and for enhancing students' powers of expression and language skills; 2) develop a computer based writing tool - a Chinese Storybook Writer for Pupils; 3) assess if there is any difference in the creative process gone through by the pupils, their acquisition of language skills and the quality of their written work whether the writing is done using the computer-based writing tool or not. |

SITES 2006 is an international
comparative study of pedagogical practices and use of ICT. The overarching
goals of this project are to benchmark the implementation and outcomes of the
Hong Kong IT in education policy against international data and to provide
research-grounded insights for schools and teachers to evaluate their IT
integration for teaching and learning. The specific objectives are: (i) to
provide internationally benchmarked indicators on the extent of IT
integration in schools and its impact on pedagogy and students’ learning
outcomes in Hong Kong schools; (ii) to identify through an examination of the
international data the strategic factors that are found to be most important
in bringing about the effective integration of IT in education in different
countries to provide input to policy-makers and school leadership for
fine-tuning and improvement of policy and implementation strategies at the
system and school level in Hong Kong; (iii) to evaluate students’ ability to
make use of IT in complex problem solving. (iv) to disseminate the research
findings in formats that would be most helpful to teachers, principals and
policy-makes in the integration of IT in |

Abstract: |
|
The age at which an individual acquires a
word, i.e. age of acquisition (AoA), has been found to significantly
influence lexical processing. AoA effects have been reported in various
processing tasks using normal subjects, including word naming, picture
naming, lexical decision, word-associate generation and semantic
categorization (see Ghyselinck et al. (2004) for review). Not only have AoA
effects been observed in reaction-time experiments, they also affect the
accuracy of performance and error production of aphasic individuals in
reading aloud, spelling-to-dictation, oral and written picture naming (e.g.,
Hirsh & Ellis, 1994; Nickels & Howard, 1995; Gerhand & Barry,
2000; Weekes et al., 2003).Although the phenomenon of AoA is widely
established, its nature is not yet well understood. One key issue is
concerned with its locus/loci in the lexical system. Brown and Watson (1987)
proposed the phonological completeness hypothesis stating that AoA effects
reside at the phonological (output) level. Late-acquired words are assumed to
have more segmented phonological representations, compared with
early-acquired words. A more recent account, similarly maintaining the locus
of AoA effects at the lexeme level, focuses instead on the mapping between
input and output representations (Ellis & Lambon-Ralph, 2000; Monaghan
& Ellis, 2002). It is referred to as the arbitrary mapping hypothesis.
The size of AoA effects is dependent on the predictability of the
orthography-phonology mappings. AoA effects are prominent for unpredictable
words but reduced in predictable lexical items. Ghyselinck et al. (2004) put
forth an alternative view that the role of AoA lies in the organization of
the semantic system. This is motivated by their findings of AoA effects in a
semantic categorization task and lexical decision involving legal nonwords
and pseudo-homophones.The aim of this study is to investigate into the loci
of AoA effects in Chinese lexical processing through evaluating the
aforementioned hypotheses. Several characteristics of the Chinese writing
system lend itself well to this purpose. As pointed out in Zevin and
Seidenberg (2002), the relatively high degree of regularity in
orthography-to-phonology mappings in English does not provide a good context
to study AoA effects on reading aloud. In contrast, the arbitrary relation
between Chinese characters and their pronunciations may constitute better
testing ground. However, for many Chinese characters, namely phonetic
compound characters containing a phonetic radical component that provides a
phonetic cue, the mapping between written form and sound is not entirely
arbitrary. They vary in terms of predictability of pronunciation as measured
by the degree of consistency across phonetic compound characters having the
same phonetic radical component (Fang et al., 1986). This combination of
arbitrariness and predictability allows us to assess the arbitrary mapping
hypothesis in reading aloud. Another characteristic of the Chinese
orthography is its extent of homophony. This affords us a great opportunity
to examine the phonological completeness hypothesis through contrasting
homophonic characters with early AoAs and late AoAs. Furthermore, the
existence of homographic homophonic morphemes enables us to see if AoA also
plays a role in the semantic system. Homographic morphemes are characters
associated with unrelated meanings, such as 華 may mean 'Chinese' in 華僑
'overseas Chinese', or 'beauty' in 華麗'extravagant'. If the different meanings
are acquired at different AoAs, any difference in the processing speed or
accuracy of production of these characters may be taken as evidence for their
influence at the semantic level.Although in most previous studies of AoA word
naming and lexical decision tasks involve orthographic or auditory input and
oral output, a distinction is often not made between spoken and written AoAs
in the AoA estimates. When the distinction was made in Yamazaki et al.
(1997), it was found that both contribute to naming latencies of Japanese
Kanji characters. These findings imply that AoA effects may be modality
specific. Cantonese is essentially a spoken language. As such, lexical items
may differ in terms of their availability in spoken, written, or spoken as
well as written forms. For instance, sai3lou6 'child' is strictly a
colloquial form, which has no formal written representation; hau4zi2 猴子
'monkey' only appears in text but extremely rarely in spoken language; the
word maa5lou6 馬路 'road' has the same spoken and written form. We focus on the
last two types of words and refer to the former (the 'monkey' type) as formal
words, and the latter as consistent words (the 'road' type). Generally
speaking, a consistent word is assumed to have lower spoken AoA than written
AoA, whereas a formal word is believed to have comparable spoken and written
AoAs. In other words, if a formal item and a consistent item are matched on
written AoA, the former is likely to have a higher spoken AoA. Conversely, if
the pair is matched on spoken AoA, the formal word is likely to have lower
written AoA than the consistent word. One may take advantage of this
characteristic to explore the issue of modality specific AoA effects through
contrasting visual and auditory lexical decision latencies of formal and
consistent words.In summary, the proposed study intends to investigate the
locus of AoA effects in the lexical system and whether the effects are
specific to modality.ReferencesBrown, G. A. A., & Watson, F. L. (1987).

To investigate whether a tongue loading in the vertical plane will result in position perception shift and thus an articulation error; to study whether this induced articulation error would result in speech perception changes. The finding of this study will make interesting impact on the current arguement about the significance of "motor theory of speech perception" in the process of perceiving speech. |

Purpose: Multiple literacies include both
conventional (print) and new (e.g., computer, media) literacies that we
assume that young children need to acquire. The purpose of this project is to
investigate teachers' beliefs and practices relevant to multiple literacies
in early childhood education. Specifically, we wish to explore teachers' notions
about multiple literacies and how they promote children's acquisition of
different literacies in the early years.Key Issues:Educational reforms in |

Abstract: |

The aim of the proposed project will be
to test a theory-based approach to developing secondary school students’
economic literacy, i.e. to enable them to handle economic reality in more
powerful ways. The idea is that by becoming capable of seeing economic
reality in more powerful ways, the students will become more capable of
making economic decisions. According to Stigler (1970), economic literacy
serves as a tool of understanding their economic world, and that this
capability should be possessed by every person. The increasing rate of
personal bankruptcies and credit card debts, people’s lack of awareness of
the importance of saving and investment, and the inability to identify the
consequences of important international economic events, amongst other
factors, provide evidence that it is necessary and urgent to promote economic
literacy among citizens (The National Council on Economic Education, 2003).
As Ellison and Kallenbach (1996) argued, economic literacy is an important
component of adult literacy, and without developing students’ awareness of
the way in which economic decision-making takes place, educators have not
fulfilled their brief of enabling “students to gain control over their
lives”. Students needs to learn how to analyse the financial matters by
making use of the relevant economic concepts and principles, such as the
opportunity cost of financial decisions, the relationship between risk,
return and liquidity, inflation and real value of return for investment, etc.
However, the survey of economic literacy in |

Abstract: |

Objectives of the study Over the years,
there are growing concerns over the academic development and improvement in
the performance of academics all over the world. This is partly due to the
increasing concerns about the quality of university teaching as a cause of
student failure and low achievement as well as rising societal concerns with
accountability and evaluation of academic performance in the post-school
education (e.g. Kogan et al., 1994; Lieberman & Wehlburg, 2001). However,
most of the work done so far has been strongly focused on the teaching
development of university teachers, without closely examining the
understandings of the work of an academic in other areas such as research and
community or professional services (e.g. Samuelowicz & Bain, 1992; Gow
& Kember, 1993; Kember, 1997; Pratt & Assoc., 1998; Prosser &
Trigwell, 1999, Martin et al., 2000, Trigwell & Prosser, 2003, Prosser et
al., 2005) . More importantly, few studies have been conducted to study the
experiences of university teachers on how they learn to become an academic
throughout their academic career. In this connection, the present study
attempts to consider the learning experiences of university teachers to
become an academic holistically from the perspective of university teachers
themselves. The point of departure is to investigate university teachers’
understandings of their own growth and development as an academic and to
provide a dispassionate and objective analysis of the contributing and
hindering factors to their growth and development in different parts of the
world. During this beginning phase, this international study of the academic
growth and development of university teachers will start with two in-depth
case studies in two countries in the East and West. namely Japan and the |

Abstract: |
|
(1) Many educators have advocated that the language proficiency of pupils in HK is declining. The findings of PIRLS 2001 indicate that pupils performed quite well in the study. The present study is to compare the findings of 2001 and 2006, and to look at the progress of pupils' reading literacy. (2) This study aims to examine the quality of learning of reading in Chinese at primary school level. This is also a project that seeks to promote innovative methods to improve the quality of teaching and learning of reading in HK. (3) This study aims to investigate changes in the issues and problems associated with pupils' acquisition of reading literacy in HK (after the 2001 study), and to seek ways to solve the problems. The Reading Literacy Test included in the project will be used to investigate pupils' reading literacy achievement in HK. (4) The project focuses on changes in the reading experiences of pupils at home and in school in learning to read. The study will collect data that provide valuable comparative international information about levels of children's reading literacy that may be used to improve learning and instruction in HK. (5) The study will also conduct an in-depth study of a small number of schools performing well on the IEA tasks. The aim is to examine both distant and proximal factors that may explain Chinese reading/literacy. The findings may help in designing appropriate reading materials and strategies for instruction in Chinese reading/literacy. |

Norms will be obtained on children at various ages. The children versions will be developed in three phases: (1) selection of test materials; (2) division of sentences into lists with equal distribution of speech sounds categories; (3) obtaining normative data, and evaluation of test-retest reliability and interlist reliability. Data on how well children ara able to hear speech when noise come from different directions and how maturation affects speech understanding will be studied. |

Abstract: |
|
Objectives 1. To investigate the vocal fold vibratory pattern and acoustic patterns of modal, falsetto and creaky phonations in speakers with normal voices using high speed digital imaging technique. 2. To establish a database of high speed images of normal vocal fold vibration Human voice is produced by vocal fold vibration at 100 (male) to 300 (female) cycles per second (Hz). However, human eyes are unable to follow the rapid vibratory movement of the vocal folds. A high speed image recording technique with a frame rate up to 2000 frames per second is necessary to capture such movement patterns. This technique provides a new perspective for studying vocal fold vibration which was not possible previously. There are only a few centers in the world that are equipped with the high speed endoscopic imaging facilities (e.g. Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Sweden and USA). The Voice Research Laboratory at HKU is among one of these centers. Published literature to date on high speed studies of vocal fold vibration focused primarily on the physiology or mechanic aspects. Very few of them examined the relationship between the vocal fold vibratory patterns and the phonatory (acoustic) properties. This study proposes to investigate vocal fold vibration using the high speed digital imaging system available at HKU. A high-speed imaging protocol for examining the vocal fold vibration of modal, falsetto and vocal fry phonation has been established in 2004 (Wong, 2004, supervised by Yiu). The study, based on a small sample size (N=6), found that there is much variability in the vibratory pattern. Therefore, it is essential to include a larger sample size, e.g. N=30, in order to establish a representative database. Furthermore, the preliminary study by Wong (2004) did not have access to simultaneous recordings of acoustic or electroglottographic signals. The analysis was entirely based on video images while the relationship with acoustic or electroglottographic signals could not be examined. Therefore, there is a need to investigate vocal fold vibration with synchronized acoustic and electroglottographic signals. |

With the advocate of ICT policies in education in many countries, technology acceptance and use has become a critical area of concern to the integration of ICT in education. Nevertheless, can the models in information systems be applied to understand and predict student technology acceptance? Are there any differences in ICT attitudes and acceptance between students in schools and workers in workplaces? In this study, the issues of student technology acceptance and attitudes will be further explored based on the results of the related previous work. |

Abstract: |

E-learning is defined as a teaching and
learning environment located within a computer-mediated communication system.
It consists of a set of group communication and work "spaces" and
facilities, which are constructed in software (Hiltz, 1994, p.3). The formal
goals of e-Learning systems are to improve both access to and the
effectiveness of learning (Hiltz, 1994, p.9). E-learning can improve access
in a number of ways. (1) Time and Place Utility. Learners can access the
system at any time and at any place so long as there is Internet connection.
There are no additional requirements on hardware peripherals or software
applications. (2) Shared Work Space. The information and communication
technology of the system makes it easy to exchange information that is
difficult to share in traditional classroom. For example, both draft and
completed project tasks can be passed back and forth among peers and
instructors, for discussion of problems, in order to comments, compare or
offer constructive criticism. (3) Participation |
