Title: | Well-being of university students in Hong Kong : a longitudinal case study | Authors: | Wu, FKY Shek, DTL Chai, CWY Zhu, JXQ |
Issue Date: | 2019 | Source: | International journal of child and adolescent health, 2019, v. 12, no. 1, p. 99-107 | Abstract: | The general university requirements (GUR) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) is an integral part of the new 4-year undergraduate curriculum. To evaluate GUR, a longitudinal case study involving 42 cases from different faculties/schools was conducted, with several interviews conducted with the informants over time. The present article is to report the findings of the second year evaluation. Three major observations on students' views about the effectiveness of GUR study were generated from the study, including 1) broadened horizons; 2) increased awareness of the connection between GUR study and all-round development and 3) urge of linking GUR components with one's profession. The longitudinal case study findings suggest that students generally had fruitful learning experiences in GUR study. This study helps to paint a more complete picture of students' views toward GUR and their personal development. | Keywords: | General education Qualitative research Case study University students Chinese context |
