whole-class approach project learning (conducted in the form of questionnaire), to proceed on Level II:
pull-out approach project learning.
Pull-out approach –2 C

SubjectDesign conceptImplementation ModeProgramme ContentLearning Outcome
Chinese LanguageChinese Language Module for Form 2 emphasized on training student's verbal skills. Therefore, upon reading the article on "Stone figures of ancient heroes", students understood how written language could express the essence of spoken language vividly. In the cultural learning session, the teacher decided to let the students know Chinese dialects.

Since language will evolve in accordance with the changes of social environment, students are then required to create a new language based on the characteristics of certain dialects.

Whole-class approach
— 1 A

General Enhancements

  • Enhance students' creativity
  • Appreciate the beauty of language. Strengthen students' understanding on Chinese culture.

The Importance of Mutual Communication

  • Misunderstanding may easily arouse among communities which speak different dialects. One should show understanding and sympathy for others.

Use grouping to

  • break "small circles" and promote friendship
  • strengthen personal-social competence
  • The students' performances are beyond expectations, not only did they collect and present the most commonly spoken dialects of Hong Kong, but also "created" some unique languages.

  • During the discussions, students understood the symbolic meaning of languages and realised the continuous evolution of language under different social environments.

 

 

Example (III)

 

Student's characteristics

  • Some students are lack of confidence in Mathematics
  • Some students with better skills who can solve more difficult mathematical problems.
  • Students have difficulties in applying Mathematics to solve the actual problems.

SubjectDesign conceptImplementation ModeProgramme ContentLearning Outcome
Mathematics

In ordinary lessons, students were guided to find out the practical significance of trigonometric ratio, aiming at arousing their interests in this topic. Worksheets of different levels were used to develop students' abilities and, at the same time to facilitate their understanding on how to apply trigonometric ratio to solve practical right triangle problems.

Whole-class approach – 1 B

Started by problem investigation

  • Arouse students' interests by applying trigonometric ratio to solve mathematical problems
  • Group leaders may assist fellow students to complete the tasks
  • Care for the learning needs of higher-ability students
  • Develop students' leadership
  • Since students of different abilities are able to complete mathematical assignments at different levels, their sense of satisfaction in learning was enhanced. Higher-ability students are given the chances to play a more active role in class.

 

 

Example (IV)

 

Student's characteristics

  • Demonstrate excellent performance in regular classes and show strong interest in mathematics.
  • Show higher mathematical abilities as compared to their classmates and are worth receiving special training.
  • Need to overcome the feelings of "boredom" and "frustration' in the learning process.

Mathematics

Catering for the students’ characteristics, the curriculum design should focus on using examples to help students understand the topic and to collect a large amount of mathematical problems which can be solved by basic mathematical theories. The curriculum was focused on helping Form 1 and 2 students to apply basic mathematical theories for solving the problems in HKCEE mathematics papers.

The curriculum emphasized arousing students' enthusiasm for mathematics and enhancing their confidence in learning.

Pull-out approach special
training on mathematics –
2 D

Introduction of progressive assessment

  • The curriculum was divided into 4 stages. Each stage composed of 6 teaching sessions. Students were assessed in each stage. Only those who reached the required standard were allowed to proceed to the next learning stage.

Various approaches for solving mathematical problems

  • Teachers focused on adopting various problem solving approaches and also on students' application of mathematical theories.

Emphasis on affective education

  • Teachers strongly emphasized the affective education for students. They often encourage students to face challenges.
  • Students' interests and confidence in learning mathematics have been enhanced significantly.
  • Students have grasped the basic quintessence of mathematics, principles of solving problems and the basic skills for the entire problem-solving process.
  • Students' determination and willingness to overcome difficulties have been strengthened.

 

 

 

Example (V)

 

Student's characteristics

  • Have a solid foundation and strong interest in Chinese language.
  • Strong sense of responsibility and willing to spend extra time for learning.
  • Students in the group differ in abilities and interests. A general curriculum would be difficult to satisfy their needs. 
  • Students in the class are active members of the school who frequently participate in extra-curricular activities.

SubjectDesign conceptImplementation ModeProgramme ContentLearning Outcome
Chinese Language

Students in Form 1 to 3 classes who achieved good results in Chinese language were selected by their teachers to form a Chinese gifted group. Reading materials are distributed to these students so that they could discuss with their teachers after reading them. Students should set up their individual study plan, e.g. to write a novel, to study the development of Chinese characters. In addition, they also formed a school team representing the school to participate in various Chinese competitions.

Pull-out approach special training in Chinese Language - 2 D

Introduction of individualized elements

  • Students set their own study goal based on their interests. This goal must be clear and can be achieved within a period of time.
  • Students were allowed to develop their own interests and talents.

Pull-out approach curriculum exemplars (level two) Example (2)

Primary School C has designed a Chinese language pull-out programme, namely, "Creative writing by portraying people", for Primary 4 students with excellent academic achievement in Chinese Language and relatively high writing competence in Chinese composition.  The objective of this programme is to arouse student's interests in Chinese writing and focus on training students' ability in portraying people.  Various teaching strategies have been applied in this programme (e.g. creating riddles, portraying people, listening exercises, role-play activities, writing stories on pictures etc). Through such activities, students' presentation and writing, creative, problem-solving and collaboration skills can be developed accordingly. In the final stage of the programme, teachers select masterpieces from students' works for printing a booklet to display the students' learning outcome.
