Role of teacher - HK education system Presentation and class activity

Present HK Education System Phenomenon 1 –

Provide little freedom to students Clip: http://

www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYDFlaMoqYQ (2:45-4:15)

Principals and teachers have absolute power

Very strict school rules

HK Situation 1 Teachers are more open-minded

-not use corporal punishment The image of teachers - superior

- the latter one should obey the former one

Teacher is not only teaching but also learn -help both to learn and grow.

HK Situation 2 Little freedom and being too strict

-restrict students’ independent thinking ability

Situation in HK:-the element of creativity in syllabus is decreasing with increasing number of years receiving education

Tests and homework assigned by teachers-not according to students’ own interests

Banned idea by teachers - not the same as the “model answer” or it is “too creative”

Present HK Education System

Phenomenon 2 – Change of Role of Parents in Education

Clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0clmJGnFNQ&NR=1 (1:15-2:00)

Change of education level of parents Change of attitude toward schools and

teachers

HK Situation In the past - low education level of parents

Parents were please to give their children to the school and teacher

Schools and teachers were fully trusted by the parentsthe parents won’t challenge and query the method

Nowadays - most educated parentsParents gathered to have great influence of school

school policies or system, methods that teachers used to teach

HK Situation Education Bureau of Hong Kong

emphasized the importance of co-operation between school and home.

Parents - clients of the schoolshould be provided with information about the educational development of their children:ways to assessed students, school operate system, etc…

Parents show their point of view toward these issues

Effects

Positive:Home and School co-operate to make improvement of the education provided to students

Negative:Too much objection and questions to increase schools and teachers’ pressure

Enhance the communication and co-operation between school and parent -Parent-Teacher Associations and some talks

StudentHate studying – joined the police forceDon’t like to be a studentPolice have desirable income and welfare and even low qualification can join

Like situating at a prisone.g. lose freedom, my hear’s breaking, my tear’s flowinglots of knowledge, may be too spoon-feedingfeeling in a prison; hard, unhappy, depressed

6:39

Use some kinds of physical punishmentTeachers right over studentsStudents cannot fight backe.g. geography teacher said she has got her pride

7:28

StudentsSome students organize party in classroomMembers in the party will threaten other students

and askthem for $ bully

5:18

cannot attend lesson do not know how to do homework(it may also be difficult) being punished forming a vicious cycle

Students, such as Star Chow, felt nothing because of repeated punishment

Anti-schooling – have conflict with other students that are not punished

Chemistry teacher think Star Chow is hopeless Geography teacher think he is hopeless and

brainless

Students may organize party out of teachers’ eyesAct as a kind of resistance

Activity Clip 1

Our group response:When student sleeping during the lesson Object the corporal punishment Wake the student up Ask the student what happen If the student sick, take the student

to medical room If the student feels tired or sleepy,

we will ask the student to wash face

Activity Clip 2

Our group response:Dealing with cheating

If this is the first time, … Arrange another test for the student Talk to the student to understand the

reason(s) and see if he/she has any difficulty in learning

Ask him/her not to do that again Encourage him/her to study hard, and

get high score next time by their own ability

Our group response:Dealing with cheating If students do that again, … Deduct ‘conduct score’ 操行分 ? Talk to the student to understand the

reason(s) and see if he/she has any difficulty in learning

Talk to his/her parents to let them know the situation and ask them to urge their child to study hard

Conclusion The role of teachers

Tremendous effect on students’ learning procedure

In the present education systemHong Kong students developed as not creative and do not have independent thinking ability

Ways to tackle students’ disciplinary problemsNot the only and the best way - different students need different kinds of treating by teachers

Learn and grow with students, offer help to them whenever they need
