Quality Education Fund Thematic Networks - Tertiary Institutes (QTN-T)
This programme is the continuation of the University-School Support Programmes financed by the Education Development Fund. With the experience in research-based pedagogy and classroom practices, the tertiary institutes will provide schools with diversified professional support services to cater for different schools’ development needs.Integrated Self-directed Learning Approach to School-based STEAM Development (In-STEAM) (2024/25)
- STEAM Education
- Co-ordinator : Centre for Information Technology in Education (CITE), Faculty of Education, The University of Hong Kong
To provide support to teachers and curriculum leaders to enhance their capacity to integrate self-directed learning (SDL) into STEAM education; To provide support to teachers to enhance their capacity to integrate technologies, such as, artificial intelligence (AI) into STEAM education; To develop and implement school-based STEAM curriculum, and assess effectively students’ expected learning outcomes so that students are facilitated to integrate and apply the knowledge and skills across different STEAM disciplines; To develop students’ SDL, entrepreneurial spirit and 21st century skills through scientific investigation and creative engineering design; To facilitate school-based STEAM curriculum development at the upper primary (P.4–6) and lower secondary (S.1–3) levels; To support schools to develop STEAM related multilevel leadership networks so as to foster sustainable development of STEAM education in participating schools.
Progressive Development of STEAM Literacy through STEAM Education and Self-directed Learning (2024/25)
- STEAM Education
- Co-ordinator : Department of Science and Environmental Studies, The Education University of Hong Kong
To develop secondary and primary school teachers’ professional capacity in promoting STEAM education with a stronger linkage to the subject curricula, enhancing the integration of STEAM-related disciplines using self-directed learning (SDL) as one of the major approaches, exploring STEAM educational designs with a focus to develop students’ problem-solving skill and designing STEAM educational activities to integrate multiple disciplinary literacies and facilitate students’ development of STEAM literacy.
