The document discusses reforms aimed at improving learning around the world. It notes that expectations for learning have changed and now emphasize skills like collaboration, problem solving, and lifelong learning. However, 20th century teaching methods are not adequate to meet 21st century demands. Effective teachers engage students in active learning and continuously assess student work. The highest achieving nations invest heavily in teacher training and collaboration. Standards and assessments should focus on higher-order thinking skills rather than memorization. Overall, the document advocates for reforms that strengthen teaching quality through professional learning opportunities.

Notes for the facilitator The commonly agreed list of capacities expected of individuals in the modern workplace that is outlined on this and the following slide (from Professor Cheng’s paper provided as a pre-reading in the participants’ handbook) constitutes a key reason for the adoption of the 334 senior secondary reform programme. The new curriculum envisaged in 334 is designed not only to build Hong Kong’s knowledge base by ensuring all students receive a full six years of secondary education, but also developing the broader range of knowledge based skills required for success in today’s highly competitive global marketplace. (The list continues on the next slide)

For the sciences, we have introduced a component called “School-based Science Practical Assessment” (SPA) (20% weighting). SPA, which takes place over an appropriate period, seeks to develop our students the ability to: 1. follow a detailed set or sequence of instructions and use techniques, apparatus and materials safely and effectively; 2. Making and recording observations, measurements, methods and techniques with precision and accuracy; 3. interpret and evaluate observations and experimental data; 4. identify a problem, design and plan investigations, evaluate methods and techniques, and suggest possible improvement. SPA assesses the following key areas: Manipulation, measurement and observation (MMO) Presentation of data and observations (PDO) Analysis, conclusions and evaluation (ACE)
