Title: | Perceptions of teachers of the new general education curriculum in Hong Kong : a focus group study | Authors: | Shek, DTL Chai, CWY Wu, FKY |
Issue Date: | 2019 | Source: | International journal of child and adolescent health, 2019, v. 12, no. 1, p. 87-97 | Abstract: | Through focus group interview, this study explored teachers' perceptions and experiences of the general university requirements (GUR) in the new four-year undergraduate degree program of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in Hong Kong. A total of 52 colleagues involved in teaching and coordination work participated in focus group interviews. Eight focus group sessions were formed to understand the views of teachers on the eight GUR curriculum components. Results showed that teachers generally had positive views of subject content as well as student learning and engagement. Teachers also demonstrated deeper understanding of teaching with active involvement. Teachers also had gained multidisciplinary working experience through teaching GUR subjects. Teachers perceived their subjects and related teaching as beneficial to students' all-round development, particularly in communication, critical thinking, confidence and self-esteem. | Keywords: | Focus group General education Hong Kong Teacher perception Undergraduate education |
