2009/2010 Parents’ Evening Subjects: 1. Physics 2. Combined Science (Physics part)
Learning Expectations (1) • To gain physics-related learning experiences for developing scientificliteracy • To participate actively in the rapidly changing knowledge-based world • To prepare fully for the tertiary education • To develop interest and arouse curiosity about the physical world
Learning Expectations (2) To appreciate the relationship between physical science and other disciplines To develop skills for making scientific inquiries and creativity To solve problems individually or collaboratively in physics-related contexts
Curriculum Framework (1) Design principles: Prior knowledge Balance between breadth and depth Balance between theoretical and applied learning Balance between essential learning and a flexible and diversified curriculum
Curriculum Framework (2) Learning how to learn and inquiry-based learning Progression Smoother articulation to multiple progression pathways Greater coherence Catering for diversity Relevance to students’ life
Implementation Strategies • To produce an active and inviting learning environment. Active learning involves raising questions and researching in knowledge • To provide guidance to define the scope of knowledge relevant to physics learning • to design learning activities which include lessons, discussions, video shows, experiments and demonstrations
Curriculum Development • Scientific investigations (The First Three Minutes: a science topic is presented for the first 3 minutes of the lesson by students or teacher) • Learning material (SCORE: a complete revision and exercise booklet is used) • Learning in the Community (Visits: Ocean Parks, Laboratories, Science Parks and Science Museum)
Learning & Teaching Resources • Physics Laboratory • Textbooks and Practical Workbooks • Resources in the Community • Resources in the Internet Contextual Physics (2009): http://www.hk-phy.org/contextual/ Ocean Park Physics (2009): http://www.hk-phy.org/oceanpark/ • References CDC-HKEAA (2007): Physics Curriculum and Assessment Guide (Secondary 4 – 6), the Curriculum Development Council and the Hong Kong Examination and Assessment Authority.
The Role of Parents • To provide full supports and caring to their children taking the NSS course • To discuss the study plan and tentative career path with their children • To make effective communication channels to teachers and the School • To attend parents educations course and seminar (such as those organized by the School or EDB)
