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.Self-directed Learning as a Strategy to Promote STEM Education (2021/22)
- STEAM Education
- Co-ordinator : e-Learning Development Laboratory, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, The University of Hong Kong
To support the participating schools in strategic planning and implementation of STEM-related lessons and curriculum using a whole-school approach;
To strengthen curriculum leadership, foster collaboration across STEM-related KLAs / subjects such as Mathematics, Science / General Studies and Technology Education;
To enhance teachers’ professional capacity to adopt self-directed learning as a strategy to promote STEM education; and
To strengthen students’ ability to integrate and apply knowledge and skills across different subject disciplines to unleash their innovation, and to help them develop positive values.
Self-directed Learning and Curriculum-oriented STEM Education with Progressive Components (2021/22)
- STEAM Education
- Co-ordinator : Department of Science and Environmental Studies, The Education University of Hong Kong
The project aims to develop primary and secondary school teachers’ professional capacity to promote STEM education with a stronger linkage to the subject curricula, and enhance the integration across STEM-related disciplines, using self-directed learning as one of the major approaches.
An Integrated Self-directed Learning Approach to School-based STEM Development (In-STEM) (2021/22)
- STEAM Education
- Co-ordinator : Centre for Information Technology in Education (CITE), Faculty of Education, The University of Hong Kong
This project aims to provide support to teachers to enhance their capacity to integrate self-directed learning (SDL) into STEM education, develop and implement a school-based curriculum in relation to STEM education, and assess students’ ability under STEM education so that students are facilitated to integrate and apply the knowledge and skills across different STEM disciplines, and develop self-directed learning, entrepreneurial spirit and 21st century skills through scientific investigation and engineering design. The project targets at upper primary (P.4-6) and lower secondary (S.1-3) school students and develop STEM school networks so as to foster a sustainable development of STEM education in schools.
Catering for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Learners in Primary Mathematics Classrooms - Developing a Professional Network (2021/22)
- Mathematics Education
- Co-ordinator : Faculty of Education, The University of Hong Kong
To enhance the learning and teaching of Mathematics for non-Chinese speaking (NCS) students at primary levels (P1-P6), for classes of NCS students or for classes with a mixture of NCS students and local Chinese students with a view to embracing cultural and linguistic diversity (CALD);
To develop suitable school-based curriculum, in alignment with the revised 2017 Mathematics Education Key Learning Area Curriculum Guide, including the design of relevant learning, teaching and assessment (LTA) materials on selected curriculum topics/units of Mathematics; and
To build professional capacity of Mathematics teachers in teaching Mathematics to NCS students.
Quality School Improvement Project: Tracking Students’ Learning through Comprehensive Enhancement of Assessment Literacy (QSIP-CEAL) (2021/22)
- Assessment Literacy
- Co-ordinator : Hong Kong Institute of Educational Research, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
