Recommendations have been given in the areas of teachers, the subject and the school according to the data collected in the study. Teachers need to change their attitude towards the use of course books, otherwise, a comprehensive degree (i.e., breadth and depth) of curriculum decision making is hard to be developed. The subject team should utilize the common planning period more effectively by designating targets and developing a work routine. It is also crucial to establish a harmonious working relationship within the team while the panel chairperson is required to lead a professional role. Teachers' professional developments should go hand-in-hand with curriculum development and more efforts should be focused on integrating scattered strengths into the team. At school level, more support should be given to curriculum decision making policy and its culture. Moreover, more professional development opportunities should be provided. (Abstract shortened by UMI.) / The New Edition of the Chinese Language Curriculum was introduced in all secondary schools in September 2002. Major features of the reform cultivate the migration from a single model passage to a more holistic teaching unit, teaching focus has switched from just reading and writing to comprehensive aspects of speaking, reading, listening and writing. While the role of a teacher has shifted from dominating to facilitating, the role of the students has shifted from a passive receptor to an active learner. The aim of language teaching has changed from imparting language knowledge to cultivating generic skills. As a whole, the New Edition of the Chinese Language Curriculum has extended the work scope of the teachers in their curriculum and teaching decision making. For instance, they are able to adjust the course books according to the circumstances of the school. Adjusting the course books or developing school specific teaching resources is a complicated task which requires co-operation and creative input of the teachers. With this in mind, some schools have started the reform of the Chinese Language subject by allocating a common planning period, making room for the teachers to increase their opportunities in curriculum input and decision making. / The present research started in the second year after the introduction of the New Edition of the Chinese Language Curriculum. By applying qualitative research methods, five schools were chosen as case studies, with the teachers of Secondary One as research target, to explore the state of teachers' participation in the curriculum decision making, to understand how the curriculum decisions were made within a subject team, and to investigate the factors influencing the decision making. The data was collected via interviews, participatory observations and document analysis. / The study has concluded six points. (1) Sparing a common planning period by schools cannot guarantee the quality of curriculum decision making. (2) Teachers' degree of understanding towards the curriculum affects their decision making on curriculum content. (3) Teachers' viewpoints on course books will affect their decision making on curriculum content too. (4) The sense of co-operation determines the degree of contribution and involvement by the teacher in the curriculum decision making. (5) The leadership and co-ordination of a panel chairperson is crucial to cultivate a harmonious working relationship between team members. (6) The factors affecting a school are inter-related. / The study reveals that at present, schools have not carried out any restructuring because of individual subject reforms. The common planning period in certain schools is merely the subject policy, not a unified policy in the school. While it has contributed to the significant opportunity for teachers to participate in curriculum decision making, the policy cannot guarantee the quality of the decisions. There are a few fundamental issues which determine whether a curriculum decision making can be developed to a profound and extensive degree. The teachers must be well prepared for the new curriculum by having participated in the pilot program organized by the Education and Manpower Bureau at the time; the subject team must use the common planning period effectively by developing a work routine, and by distributing responsibilities among teachers in the team to make sure that they are engaged and able to contribute; the subject teaching attribution should focus on and reflect the needs of the students as well as the implementation of changes in the curriculum to improve teaching; and lastly, in addition to providing teachers with a common planning period, the school also needs to allocate more resources in the theme of policy making, such as flexible timetables and on-going professional development opportunities. If these factors are missing in the academic subject, teachers will rely heavily on course books and when dealing with curriculum content decision making, they will seldom consider other elements, such as teaching methodology and teaching activities, in a curriculum. / 高慕蓮. / Adviser: Lee Chi Kin. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 70-03, Section: A, page: 0787. / Thesis (doctoral)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2008. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 489-508). / Electronic reproduction.

Finally, by basing its analysis on theories of institutional change, this study provides explanation for two phenomena that emerge from the process of curriculum implementation: formalism in the implementation strategies that attempt to cope with policy requirements and the lack of change in the curriculum deal to difficulties encountered. In light of the aforesaid phenomena, policy recommendations are given for the advancement of curriculum reform. / Secondly, the said pattern of behavior can be explained by institutional factors that have played a substantial role in the implementation process. Guided by a theoretical framework proposed by Scott (2001), this study uses its concepts and propositions to illustrate the institutional resources that are present in the practices of sampled schools and illuminates the institutional mechanisms that are at work. / Since 2001, a new round of curriculum reform was initiated in the Chinese Mainland. In the process of implementation, the reform endeavor has encountered a lot of difficulties. For those scholars who are interested in the reform of Chinese education, achieving an understanding of these difficulties has become their common pursuit. / Thirdly, the nature of the institution that influences the implementation of school curriculum is constituted by the interaction of stakeholders, namely, schools, government, higher institutions, parents, and the media. Through interaction, these stakeholders reach compromises in an "organization field" which in turn contribute to the formation of the institution. / This study approaches education reform from the perspective of policy implementation. It adopts the theoretical lens of neo-institutionalism and examines the implementation of "research based learning" in the schools of District A. As a new form of learning, "research based learning" is heralded as one of the major theme of the new school curriculum. Through the analysis of data collected through interviews and field observation, this study yields results that are presented in the paragraphs below. / To begin with, research has unearthed an obvious "isomorphism" in the reform practices in different schools. The study finds that there is a stable pattern of behavior that is discernible in the implementation process of curriculum reform. This pattern of behavior is commonly shared by different schools engaged in the reform process. / 柯政. / Advisers: Leslie Lo; Wing-kwong Tsang. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 70-06, Section: A, page: 1903. / Thesis (doctoral)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2008. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 243-261). / Electronic reproduction.

近年，西方社會對學生聲音的研究如雨後春筍。學者們努力研究如何在課程研究範疇中發掘這些長期被忽略，但又極具價值的部份──學生的聲音。本研究就是嘗試以中學課程中較少權力牽引的部份──課外活動作為切入點，探索學生以自己的聲音建構自己的課程，他們在態度上──對人(包括自己、老師和同學)、對活動及對學校的變化。 / 研究者在自身任教的中學，透過學生聲音得知學生最有興趣的課外活動是玩遊戲機，於是研究者向校方申請成立「電玩學會」，並召集了13位同學成立幹事會。本研究就是記錄了幹事會中8位活躍分子在這大半學年間，由他們的聲音組織多次的活動，然後由研究者透過半結構性訪談，利用內隱式的態度量度方法探討這些同學在各個向度的態度變化。此外，本研究也提出以學生聲音建構活動時所需要注意的重點。 / 研究發現以學生聲音建構的電玩學會活動，會令籌辦活動學生的投入程度增加，部份學生更在活動中進入了「暢態」。此外，籌辦活動亦令部份學生對自己的態度產生了變化，尤其對自己的能力感有所增加。不過，如果在他們自己建構的活動過程中受到挫折，卻會令學生產生更負面的影響，甚至會萌生放棄的念頭，而這正是作為導師需要介入並協助他們的時候。另一方面，當幹事會中每一位學生都有著自己的聲音，他們彼此互動造成的衝擊，會令學生對其他同學的態度產生兩極化的影響，可能變得更喜歡，也可能變得更不喜歡，這一點甚少在其他研究提及。研究亦發現學生在經歷自己籌辦的活動後，對導師及學校的態度也會有所改善，不過這些改變的幅度卻是因人而異。最後，本研究亦分析了以學生聲音建構活動時所需要注意的三個重要元素：老師、學生及課程。三者互相緊扣，而且缺一不可。如果老師自身不相信學生聲音的力量，不肯把既有的權力下放；又或是學生能力上或是心態還未準備在課程上分享/分擔設計者的角色；還是老師及學生所共同建構的課程背後有另外一些外力牽引，例如公開考試、學校期望等。這些都是令學生聲音窒息的主要原因。 / 教育是一項育人的工程。當我們經常投訴學生完成中學後就算有很好的學業成績，卻沒有創造力、怯於表達自己意見、只愛自己卻不理別人感受，我們可以試回想他們在學校多年經歷中又有沒有機會發出過自己的聲音，並且被聆聽及受尊重？所以本研究建議在規劃嚴謹的學校課程中引入學生聲音，讓老師和學生在彼此互相尊重下一起成長。不過在推行具學生聲音建構的課程時，我們還需注意以上提及的三個重要元素：老師、學生及課程，否則只會變成空有軀殼沒有神髓的行動。 / In recent years, the research on student voice has aroused many concerns in the western society. The researchers tried to dig the neglected yet valuable student voice in the curriculum inquiry aspect. This paper attempts to use extra-curricular activities as an intervention point, using student voice to construct their curriculum, and see if it would bring about changes in students’ attitude towards self, teachers, classmates, activities and school. / Through collecting student voices in school, the researcher reveals that the most popular extra-curricular activity is “Electronic games. Therefore, the researcher proposed to establish the “Electronic Games Club and recruited 13 students to form a committee. This paper has recorded how to use the student voices of the 8 active members in the committee, in organizing several functions. With semi-constructed interview, the changes in attitudes of the 8 members in different dimensions are measured through “Implicit Attitude Measurement. Besides, the key elements of using student voice in constructing activities are discussed. / This paper reveals that when students are using their voices to construct the activities, they will have a higher engagement in the activities. Some of the students even experienced “flow and some recalled an increase in self-efficacy. However, negative influence can also be resulted if the students experienced frustration in the process, and they may have thoughts of giving up. This is the point when teacher needs to intervene and provide assistance. What rarely mentioned in other researches is the bipolar influence on the attitude of the student towards teammates ─ either positive or negative when every student’s voice conflicts with each other. Different extent of positive attitude changes of students towards teachers and school are also recorded. Finally, the three indispensable key elements, namely, teacher, student, and curriculum, of constructing activities with the students’ voice are discussed. Students’ voice can be greatly undermined if teacher does not trust the power of student voice, or the students are not ready to share the role of designing the curriculum, or both the teacher and students are pulled by demands of public exams or expectation of school etc. / We are educating “people. We see students lacking creativity, too shy to express their opinions and too self-centered despite high education attainment. Let us recall if there was a chance for our students to express their voices in school? Were their voices being heard and respected? This paper proposed to introduce student voice within the tight school curriculum and promote the mutual respect and growth between teachers and students. Nevertheless, to implement the essence of student voice in the curriculum, we should always pay attention in the three key elements ─ teacher, student and curriculum. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / 龔萬聲. / Thesis (Ed.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 244-257). / Electronic reproduction.

Integrated curriculum reform in China is meant to change the traditional teaching culture. Based on the findings, it is recommended that the education authority should implement the reform in a gradual manner and takes cultural changes into consideration. It is also essential to support the reconstruction of teachers' beliefs and their professional identities. / The education system of Mainland China has been dominated by the discipline-based curriculum. One of the major curriculum reform initiatives launched in September, 2001, is curriculum integration. Two new integrated curricula, "Science" and "History and Society" are implemented in junior secondary schools in the experimental zones. The ideology and teaching approach of these new integrated curricula differ from teachers' usual classroom practices. To what extent are the integrated curricula implemented? How have teachers' beliefs changed? What are the factors shaping these changes? / The study reveals that the deep and core belief of teachers is very stable. The factors influencing teachers' belief changes included the personal experience of teachers, the school environment and the societal context. During the reform, teachers were trapped in two contradictory discourses, one treasured humanistic values fostering personal growth, while the other emphasized standard examination and competition. Facing two paradoxical educational value stances, teachers experienced serious conflicts in their educational beliefs, and their professional identities were challenged. The changes of belief reflect the process of adapting and adjusting to their new roles in the education system. / This study, from a cultural-personal perspective, aimed to show teachers' beliefs and their changes. In this study, two schools and fourteen teachers were chosen to be studied. Ethnographic research methods, including in-depth interview, field observation and document analysis were adopted to inquire into teachers' collective daily experiences, their beliefs and their changes, and factors shaping the changes in beliefs. / 張爽. / 呈交日期: 2006年11月. / 論文(哲學博士)--香港中文大學, 2007. / 參考文獻(p. 369-384). / Cheng jiao ri qi: 2006 nian 11 yue. / Adviser: Lam Chi Chung. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 68-08, Section: A, page: 3270. / Electronic reproduction.
