334 A Brief Revisit Reflection
  • Stephen Yip
  • Chief Curriculum Development Officer
  • CDI, EMB

Introduction
  • In 2000, the Education Commission recommended the
    adoption of a 3-year senior secondary and 4-year
    university system.
  • The Chief Executives Policy Address (2004) set
    out the direction to develop the new senior
    secondary and university system.
  • 2004-05 Consultation phases Preparation/
    Implementation (2005 Policy Address)

3
The Need for Change
  • Building on reform in basic education, the new
    senior secondary and university system is
    destined to help each student to be an informed
    and responsible citizen with a sense of global
    and national identity.
  • This calls for a more broad-based curriculum with
    more choice to suit individual aptitudes and
    interests, enable ALL secondary students to
    develop their capacities to the full.

Why Change? Is our existing system not good
enough?
  • A brief conversation with a friend in a ferry

9
Question time Rationale of Change
  • Which part of the reform (mentioned above) is
    particularly supported? WHY?
  • Any parts rationale not clear?
  • Any parts are NOT supported at all? WHY?

10
Different expectations
  • The new context means new expectations of
    individuals apply. Most surveys on workplace
    requirements converge to a list comprising
  • Ability to communicate
  • Adaptability to change
  • Ability to work in teams
  • Flexible human relations
  • Preparedness to solve problems
  • Ability to analyse and conceptualise
  • (Cont.)

11
Different expectations (cont.)
  • Ability to reflect on oneself
  • Ability to manage oneself
  • Ability to create, innovate and criticise
  • Ability to engage in learning new things anywhere
    and anytime
  • Ability to cross specialist borders
  • Ability to move across cultures
  • Preparedness for uncertainty and insecurity.
  • (Professor Kai-ming Cheng, Inaugural Professorial
    Lecture, 2004.)

12
The type of student we need to create
  • Schooling should as well as providing the high
    level skills of literacy and numeracy also,
    therefore, provide students with the capacity and
    motivation to be
  • A community builder with strong social
    competencies and a solid values base
  • A team worker
  • A problem solver complex, creative and critical
    thinker and risk taker
  • Independent of mind, responsible, persevering,
    self regulating, reflective and self evaluating
  • Flexible and able to adapt to change through
    knowing how to learn and wanting to do so
    throughout life

13
A new learning paradigm
  • A new process of education is required where
  • Learning is construction of knowledge by the
    learner
  • Learning involves interaction between the human
    being and the external world
  • Different individuals may learn differently with
    the same learning experience
  • Understanding and application are intertwined
  • There is integration of prior knowledge in
    solving real life problems
  • Learning occurs in a social setting (ie groups)

14
Meeting the challenge AustraliaThree core,
interrelated strands
Physical, Personal and Social Learning Discipline
-based Learning Interdisciplinary Learning (The
Victorian Essential Learning Standards)
15
Meeting the challenge the UK
  • The UK has adopted an expansive approach to
    meeting the challenge based on a set of
    principles that inform policy and practice in
    relation to
  • Teaching and learning
  • School improvement
  • System wide reform

16
A model for change in the UK
  • These principles are brought together in a model
    for school and system change comprising
  • learning, achievement and progress of students at
    the centre
  • the holy trinity of curriculum, assessment and
    pedagogy
  • the key supportive organisational conditions for
    high levels of teaching and learning and
  • the national reform agenda in which it all
    occurs.
  • (Professor David Hopkins)

17
Meeting the Challenge Hong Kong
  • Education Reform
  • Curriculum Reform Basic Education
  • Reform of Senior Academic Structure (334)

Curriculum design (EMB, 2005)
  • Prior knowledge KLAs in basic education,
    cross-curricular opportunities in project
    learning,
  • Essentials (core) E, C, Maths, Liberal Studies
  • Essentials (Other Learning Experiences) moral
    civic education, aesthetic physical activities,
    community service, career-related activities
  • Choices diversification elective
    subjects/career-oriented curriculum with elective
    parts,
  • Greater breadth same depth (AL/AS)
  • Progression of studies

22
Why Other /Essential Learning Experiences
Expected Outcomes of OLE
  • Whole Person Development (?????????)
  • Complement the examination subjects/
    career-oriented studies
  • Building up life-long capacities
  • To nurture informed responsible citizenship
  • To respect for Plural values Healthy living
    style
  • To develop career aspirations

23
Seven Guiding Principles of Designing
School-based OLE
  • Student-focused
  • Building on existing practice (own strengths)
  • Entitlements (including disadvantaged students)
  • Quality experience
  • Coherent with KS3 and the whole NSS Curriculum
  • Flexibility (e.g. could be out-of lesson time for
    community service)
  • Diversity in Implementation modes (e.g. in the
    form of lessons, sessions, projects, programs)
  • ? NSS Guide, 2006

  • Clear target/goal/objective
  • Ask more
  • Talk less
  • Individual/group/whole-class

26
Pedagogy . focus on deep understanding
  • Knowledge is information on tap
  • Skills are routine performances on tap
  • Understanding is the ability to think and act
    flexibly with what one knows. In other words,
    an understanding of a topic is a flexible
    performance capacity with emphasis on the
    flexible.
  • MS Wiske Teaching for Understanding

27
Research into human learning
  • Research in human learning suggests that all
    learners are capable of making further progress
    given appropriate learning conditions, which can
    be characterised as a mix of challenge and
    support.
  • New learning opportunities are likely to be most
    effective in promoting further learning if they
    take account of the learners present knowledge,
    skills and understandings tap into the learners
    interests and motivations are consistent with
    what is known about the learners preferred
    style/s of learning and if learning
    opportunities are provided in a supportive social
    context.
  • (Professor Geoff Masters)

28
Views about Learning
  • As an outcome enduring change in knowledge,
    skill etc. resulting from exposure to some
    experience. Short term gains in knowledge as
    opposed to development leading to understanding
  • As a process transformation of information in
    solving cognitive problems
  • As an apprenticeship doing in the community as a
    way of becoming a full member of that community

29
Watkins classification of learning(Watkins 2003)
30
Cognitive Skills for Learning (Moseley et al.
2003)
31
Teaching as Instruction
  • Provide an Advanced Organizer
  • Check what pupils know with quick, snappy
    question answer session
  • Present new knowledge
  • Provide for practice which emphasises
    application
  • Extend practice by homework
  • Give feedback which is informative
  • Review new learning

32
Learning by Direct Instruction
  • The findings are most relevant when the object is
    to teach explicit procedures, concepts or a body
    of knowledge
  • The findings are less relevant where skills to be
    taught cannot be broken down into explicit steps
  • (Rosenshine 1987)

33
Uses of Direct Instruction
  • Mathematical procedures
  • English grammar
  • Scientific information
  • Historical facts
  • Using maps
  • Practical skills
  • Mathematical problem solving
  • Extended writing
  • Scientific investigations
  • Discussing controversial social science topics

34
Teaching as Enquiry
  • Engaging in complex cognitive processes requires
    thoughtful discourse. Pupils are invited to make
    predictions, debate alternatives, etc. This can
    take place during interactive whole class
    teaching or during peer interaction in pairs or
    groups and should involve
  • Placing the topic in the wider, meaningful
    context (big picture)
  • Using open ended questions
  • Allowing suitable wait times
  • Encouraging explanations or elaboration of
    answers.

35
Teaching as Expert Performance
  • Helping pupils to learn how to think for
    themselves requires temporary frameworks or
    scaffolds. They reduce the degrees of freedom a
    child must manage in the task to prevent error
    rather than induce it. (Bruner)
  • Several scaffolds have been identified from the
    teacher effectiveness literature
  • Providing models of appropriate response (e.g.
    model answers, demonstrations etc.)
  • Providing prompts and feedback as in guided
    discovery

36
More Effective Scaffolding
  • As identified in the cognitive strategy research
    these latter scaffolds appear more effective in
    teaching higher cognitive skills.
  • Rehearsing an argument (pupils explain to
    class/group in words their reasoning e.g.their
    answer to a maths problem)
  •  Cue Cards ( as in writing frames )
  • Self-evaluation checklists (requires pupils to
    check through the process by which they reached a
    conclusion and to indicate how it might be
    improved

37
8 Key Characteristics of effective teaching
  • Pupil Exploration usually preceded formal
    presentation.
  • Initially, tasks were structured to limit the
    range of alternatives pupils could explore.
  • There was a high proportion of pupil talk, much
    of it occurring between pupils.
  • The metaphors teacher as a listener and
    teacher as guide on the side rather than sage on
    the stage were characteristic.

38
8 Key Characteristics of an effective teaching
(continued)
  • Pupils used a variety of means and media to
    communicate their ideas
  • pupils questions and comments often determined
    the focus of classroom discourse
  • the ethos encouraged pupils to offer speculative
    answers to challenging questions.
  • lessons often required pupils to reflect
    critically on the procedures and methods used

39
  • Instruction Approach
  • Input and output tasks
  • Teacher o many
  • Teacher-chosen resources
  • Teacher controls time pace seen as key
  • Teacher as teller, organiser, judge

Classroom activity systems in 3 views of learning
  • Construction Approach
  • Tasks for processing and understanding
  • Individuals, peer groups
  • Students experience a resource
  • Longer time blocks, student-paced
  • Teacher as enquirer
  • Co-construction Approach
  • Tasks of generating knowledge
  • Changing groups, networks, linkages
  • Access to world of resources
  • Teacher as learner too
  • Time seen as less relevant
  • Teacher as enquirer

ASSESSMENT AS A CONTRIBUTION TO LEARNING
  • Assessment that fosters understanding has to be
    more than an end of unit test. It needs to
    inform students and teachers about what students
    currently understand, and how to proceed with
    subsequent teaching and learning
  • Ongoing assessment is the process of providing
    students with a clear response to their
    performances of understanding in a way that will
    help to improve their next performance

44
ASSESMENT FOR LEARNING
  • The process of seeking and interpreting evidence
    for use by learners and their teachers to decide
    where learners are in their learning, where they
    need to go and how best to get there
  • (Assessment Reform Group 2002)

45
IS THIS TRUE OF CLASSROOMS IN YOUR SCHOOL?
  • My teacher sets me targets to aim for and then
    helps me check my progress
  • My teacher gives me time to look at my work and
    improve it after shes marked it
  • My teacher tells me what Im going to learn and
    then we talk about how to get there
  • I know how I learn best and my teacher gives me
    time to talk about what works for me

46
KEY FACTORS THAT IMPROVE LEARNING THROUGH
ASSESSMENT
  • Providing effective feedback to pupils
  • Actively involving children in their own learning
    by sharing criteria with learners
  • Adjusting teaching to take account of assessment
    results
  • recognising the way assessment impacts on
    self-esteem and motivation
  • considering ways that pupils can assess
    themselves and understand how to improve

47
3 Kinds of Feedback
  • About Self should focus on effort rather than on
    person. Thus Thats a good try rather than
    Good Girl, Well done. Purpose is re-enforcement
  • Task processing Purpose is self-regulation
    Where have you got to? What do you think may
    have gone wrong? What are you going to do
    next?
  • Correction most powerful when it is about
    faulty interpretation rather than supplying
    missing information. Show me how you got that
    answer rather than, You need to do it like
    this.

48
3 Kinds of Feedback Effect Size(An effect size
of 1.0 is equivalent to advancing achievement by
one years average progress)
  • Task processing
  • self-regulation 0.95
  • cues 1.10
  • Self
  • re-inforcement of effort 0.94
  • praise 0.14
  • Task
  • corrective 0.37

49
INVOLVING PUPILS IN THEIR OWN LEARNING
  • Asking pupils what helps them to learn? For
    example, What does it feel like when I choose
    you to answer a question in front of the class?
  • Devising ways pupils can assess their own
    learning and share this with the teacher. For
    example, Pupils use a traffic light system to
    evaluate their performance (red dothard, orange
    bit hard, greeneasy).

50
Taking Account of Assessment in Teaching
  • Identify Curricular targets (i.e. what pupils
    need to learn)
  • Set targets for groups/individual pupils
  • Monitor targets regularly to inform decision
    making and communicate these to pupils either
    orally or in writing
  • Review targets with colleagues and engage in
    joint planning for next stage

51
To make sense of data in chart or graph form
52
Identifying Learning Objectives
  • Teachers tend to identify what pupils will do,
    not what they will learn. Learning objectives
    then need to be turned into success criteria by
    using such stems as
  • To be successful you will need.
  • What I expect from everyone is.
  • Better still use questions so that pupils help to
    establish what is needed
  • To produce good work what will you need t
  • What do you think we mean by?

53
PUPILS AS THEIR OWN ASSESORS
  • Each Curricular targets have their success
    criteria which are shared with pupils
  • Class debriefing sessions are held at the end of
    the lesson. What did we achieve? What have we
    learned for next time? etc.
  • Pupils in pairs (or groups) complete check-list
    of success criteria and to talk about what they
    can do to improve

55
Assessmentas a contribution to learning
  • Assessment that fosters understanding has to be
    more than an end-of-unit test. It needs to inform
    students and teachers about both what students
    currently understand, and how to proceed with
    subsequent teaching and learning.
  • Ongoing assessment is the process of providing
    students with clear responses to their
    performances of understanding in a way that will
    help to improve their next performances.

56
Assessmentassessment for learning (on-going
assessment)
  • Do they include clear, public criteria?
  • Do they use criteria closely related to
    understanding goals?
  • Do they provide frequent opportunities for
    feedback throughout the units performances?
  • Do they provide feedback that tells students how
    well they are doing and how to do better?
  • Do they offer opportunities for multiple
    perspectives? (ie, teacher assessing student,
    students assessing one another, student assessing
    themselves)

57
Assessment of learning (HKEAA)
  • Standards-referenced Assessment (SRA)
  • To help users better understand what students
    know and can do
  • To facilitate teaching and learning and make
    explicit what a student has to do to reach a
    given level
  • To better maintain standards over time

58
Standards-Based
  • Most systems have adopted standards-based
    curriculum and assessment.
  • This implies being explicit about the required
    standard performance expected of students
  • Standards referencing allows performance to be
    reported in relation standards that do not change
    over time
  • Some systems use expert judgment to set
    standards. In HK we use psychometric methods and
    fine tune using expert judgment

59
Different Kinds of Reporting
  • Comparison of the performance of an individual or
    group with
  • that of other individuals or groups, especially a
    representative sample (Norm-referenced reporting)
  • the criterion set for performance on that task
    (Criterion-referenced reporting)
  • a predefined standard defined by one or more
    cut-scores on an underlying variable
    (Standards-referenced reporting)

Question time
  • Views of Teaching/Learning What is the dominant
    view in our school/ department/ panel?
  • Wide Repertoire of learning/ teaching strategies
    How should our schools go from here to there?
  • Assessment Any new ideas that the school/ panel
    could put into practice?
  • SLP How would this affect our existing work?

71
School as a Learning Community/ Organisation
  • No reform would succeed in a purely Top-down
    manner.
  • Learning is the key at all three levels (Society/
    Community, School, Classroom)
  • Five collective discipline (internal
    capacities??) in a learning organization (P.
    Senge)
  • Personal Mastery ( as a professional)
  • Shared Vision (as a group of professionals)
  • Mental Models (a shared map)
  • Team learning (On-going reflection in practice)
  • Systems Thinking ( Growing body of theory/
    Living mechanism to improve as an orgnaization/
    system)

72
Dealing with levels of Concerns
73
Concerns-based Model of Educational Change
Stage of Concern Teachers concerns typical expressions
0 Awareness Attention elsewhere
1 Informational Interest to know more
2 Personal Uncertainties
3 Management Focus on how to do
4 Consequence Evaluation of impact on students
5 Collaboration Co-ordination and communication to improve effectiveness
6 Refocusing How to work better
74
Innovation Configurations Mapping where were
heading to
  • All too frequently the developers of an
    educational innovation have not thought clearly
    about what the use of the change will really
    entail. They have more about what is needed to
    support its implementation, such as training and
    materials.
  • Innovation Configuration Map (e.g. Integrated
    use of I.T.)

Unacceptable Acceptable Ideal

e.g. Classrooms with computers with good Web
access students work with IT to research, plan
and present their learning
e.g. Schools build a culture of using IT in most
aspects Also catering for the needs or
self-motivated projects among students
e.g. Classrooms with few computers, no Web links
mainly for drilling and practice
75
Examples of Intervention strategies (1)
Stage of Concern (0-3) Examples of intervention strategies
0 Awareness Acknowledge little concern about the innovation is legitimate appropriate Share some information to arouse interests
1 Informational Share general descriptive information, short media presentation State realistic expectation about the costs benefits Provide genuine cases/ visits
2 Personal Establish rapport and signs of encouragement/ assurance Clarify how innovation relates to other priorities that potentially conflict in energy/time demand. Show how the innovation can be used via gradual introduction rather than leap
3 Management Provide answers to address small specific how-to Demonstrate models for effective use of innovation
76
Examples of Intervention strategies (2)
Stage of Concern (4-6) Examples of intervention strategies
4 Consequence Encourage reinforce regularly
5 Collaboration Use stage 5 concerned teachers to be teacher educators Create sharing networking opportunities
6 Refocusing Provide teachers at this stage with resources to access and encourage them to pilot new ideas that are of use

The Eight Propositions for 334
80
1. We have a clear, well-articulated moral
purpose underpinning 334
  • Providing all students with the opportunity to
    receive a higher standard of education, and a
    more suitable curriculum catering to individual
    needs and abilities to ensure their success.

????
81
2. Schools need to develop effective leadership
teams to implement the 334 reform
  • Leadership teams help sustain school improvement,
