Lee, Yeung Chung; Yip, Valerie Wing Yan; Lau, Victor Kwok-chi; Lam, Eddie Siu-shu; Yeung, Bill Chi Ho; Chim, Rex Hong Lok – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2021
A co-curricular learning programme, entitled the U-STEMist Scheme, was conducted in a joint university effort to provide STEM undergraduates and pre-service teachers with experience in designing service-based STEM projects. This scheme attempted to link STEM with humanity, which has been undervalued in tertiary STEM education. Students in…

So, Winnie Wing-Mui; Chen, Yu – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2018
E-learning is playing a significant and increasing role in elementary science education. The purpose of this study was to explore how primary Grade 3 students constructed an understanding of seasons through a series of interactive e-learning activities. One class of Grade 3 students from one local primary school was invited to participate in this…

Lau, Kwok-chi – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2017
The study evaluated the effectiveness of using short, school lab investigations to teach about the nature of science (NOS). A manipulated lab inquiry approach was used, which modified the investigations in ways that students were compelled to experience certain NOS aspects. An investigation about apple browning was used to teach about the…

Suprapto, Nadi – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2016
Indonesia always continually failed international assessments even though many efforts have been made. The results of PISA 2012 put Indonesian students in the worst position. In contrast, East Asian countries' performance well in mathematics, reading, and science. Indeed, Singapore has the best performance in the Southeast Asia region even in the…

Kwok, Ping Wai – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2015
A Chinese version of the Science Laboratory Environment Inventory (SLEI) was used to study the students' perceptions of the actual and preferred laboratory learning environments in Hong Kong junior secondary science lessons. Valid responses of the SLEI from 1932 students of grade 7 to grade 9 indicated that an open-ended inquiry approach seldom…

Lau, Kwok Chi – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2014
The study has integrated the data from PISA 2006 to 2012 to give an overall picture of the cognitive and affective performances and pedagogy of East Asian regions on PISA scientific literacy. Attempts are made to account for their performances based on the PISA data and cultural characteristics. The cognitive science performance of East Asian…

Lau, Kwok-chi – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2013
The PISA performance of Hong Kong has prompted this study to investigate if scientific literacy (SL) of Hong Kong students can be improved further through a high school biology course employing the STSE approach. A STSE course was developed in accordance to the contexts of Hong Kong and a framework for the assessment of scientific literacy was…

So, Winnie Wing Mui; Ching, Fiona Ngai Ying – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2012
This paper discusses the creation of learning environments with online resources by three primary school teachers for pupil's learning of science-related topics with reference to the resource-based e-learning environments (RBeLEs) framework. Teachers' choice of contexts, resources, tools, and scaffolds in designing the learning environments are…

Yeung, Yau-Yuen; Lee, Yeung-Chung; Lam, Irene Chung-Man – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2012
With the restructuring of the senior secondary education system in Hong Kong in 2009, the senior secondary curriculum was overhauled substantially by the conversion of the two-year Certificate Level and the two-year Advanced Level to a new three-year senior secondary level. This process entails changes to the contents and organization of various…

Tsoi, Kwok Ho – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2011
Global shark populations are seriously declining and many species are now threatened by anthropogenic stresses. Their extinction would cause devastating consequences to the marine biodiversity and ecosystems. However some children describe the sharks as bad guys, "we should kill them all!" Such children's view motivates my study…

Fung, Leo Sun-wai; Chan, Yu-nang – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2009
The aim of this research is to study the effectiveness of using videoconferencing as a tool for collaborative learning on water pollution among students from two secondary schools located in different districts. The poor water quality of the nullahs in urban areas aroused the interest of students from two secondary schools in Tin Shui Wai and Wong…
