Abstract:

To pilot a curriculum development and implementation project to integrate IT fully into the math and Science streams of the PCEd program so that teachers graduating from the program would be so used to employing IT in their own learning and professional activities that they cannot imagine life as a professional without IT. This is seen to be a fundamental requirement of teacher education programs if these were to have significant impact on the use of IT in schools. To explore the possibility of involving placement schools in a partnership on the use of IT in Science and Math education, where conditions permit.

Abstract:

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 Hong Kong schools.
