Quality Education Fund Thematic Networks - Schools (QTN-S)

To widen teachers’ repertoire of learning and teaching strategies so as to enhance students’ learning interest and motivation, refine their learning strategies and strengthen their ability of understanding mathematical concepts; To foster teachers’ professional development by integrating theory, learning and teaching practices and reflection through lesson designs.

To induce students’ learning motivation and construct their mathematical concepts and logical thinking, through the use of e-learning platforms and tools that pair up with diversified modes of assessments, by creating scenarios that connect to important and difficult teaching points when applying diversified strategies for developing self-directed learning in students; To lead teachers to design key questions and construct effective Mathematics lessons so as to provoke students’ thinking, guide them to observe, explore and actively exchange ideas, as well as develop their mathematical thinking and learning ability; To use e-learning platforms with peer sharing and comment functions to record the learning process, encourage peers to appreciate each other’s learning achievements, and facilitate students to communicate, collaborate, co-construct and share knowledge with their peers. Through encouraging messages, teachers and students recognise the efforts of students in the learning process, improve students’ information literacy through practice, and cultivate students’ positive values and attitudes of respecting others and learning to appreciate; To promote the development of school Mathematics curriculum and strengthen its vertical and lateral coherence through unit planning and effective course work design (pre-learning tasks, classwork and extended learning tasks).

To widen teachers’ repertoire of learning and teaching strategies so as to enhance students’ learning interest and motivation, refine their learning strategies and strengthen their ability of understanding mathematical concepts; To foster teachers’ professional development by integrating theory, learning and teaching practices and reflection through lesson designs.

To examine and share with the participating schools on how to make use of diversified strategies and effective Mathematics lessons to enhance students’ motivation in learning Mathematics and their self-directed learning (SDL) ability; To establish a collaborative and learning culture that promotes professional exchanges among teachers within and across schools.

To equip teachers with diversified learning and teaching strategies so as to arouse students’ learning motivation and promote learning effectiveness; To lead teachers to design key questions with a view to enhance students’ learning ability and thinking skills; To promote the development of school-based Mathematics curriculum and strengthen its vertical and lateral coherence; To facilitate teachers’ use of e-learning platforms and diversified assessment to review students’ learning outcomes and provide students with instant feedback that can improve the learning and teaching effectiveness.
