Background
Ongoing Renewal of School Curriculum -Focusing, Deepening, Sustaining
In order to sustain the Learning to Learn curriculum reform launched in 2001 and to keep abreast of the various contextual changes in society over the past decade or so, we are entering into a stage of sustainable and ongoing curriculum renewal and updating (also known as “Learning to Learn 2.0”). In this new phase of curriculum renewal, the educational aims of promoting whole-person development and lifelong learning as well as the overall curriculum framework and learning goals will be kept. The curriculum will remain learner-centred and continue to focus on learning and teaching. However, to maintain Hong Kong’s competitive edge and to prepare our students well for the local and global changes taking place in various fields, key emphases under the curriculum renewal are recommended for sustaining, deepening and focusing on in school-based curriculum development so that the positive impacts of the Learning to Learn curriculum reform can be reinforced and students will be better equipped for future challenges.
Purpose
The purpose of this questionnaire is to collect views from principals, vice-principals, subject panel heads and teachers on the broad direction of the onward curriculum development of the Physical Education Key Learning Area (KLA) in the context of the enhanced version of Learning to Learn 2001 (Please refer to the Consultation Brief on the Updating the Physical Education Curriculum (Primary 1 to Secondary 6) at http://www.edb.gov.hk/renewal for details). It is part of the consultation on the updating of the KLA curriculum guides, during which the content would be revisited and key emphases under the curriculum renewal would be proposed as suggestions for further development of the school-based curriculum in each KLA. In parallel, other stakeholders will be consulted through various channels, including consultation seminars and focus group interviews. The feedback collected will be consolidated to facilitate further deliberations on the updating of the curriculum guides of the KLAs concerned.
Return of questionnaire
Subject panel heads are advised to exchange views with the principal, vice-principal(s) and the panel members of the KLA concerned before responding to the questions and send the completed questionnaire, by
