A Study Of The Universities Of The Third Age In Hong Kong : An Evaluation Of Elder Academy Model For The Life Long Learning Of Older People, Ka Fai Wong

Lingnan Theses

Education aims at the development of knowledge and skills for its own sake and pleasure. People aged over 65 years currently comprise 11% of the Hong Kong population. Such aging population in Hong Kong constitutes a challenge to our society. To be adaptive to changes in the environment, especially in aging, more emphasis is placed on “lifelong learning” than on “lifelong education” for self-fulfillment Active aging is evidently supported as a solution to the impact of aging population. Lifelong learning is an important strategy for enhancing active aging. The provision and process of lifelong learning for older people can take …

Citizenship Education In Post-1997 Hong Kong : Civic Education Or Nationalistic Education?, Kit Man

Lingnan Theses

This study investigates citizenship education policy under the “One Country, Two Systems” model in Hong Kong. A number of studies have analyzed the Hong Kong-China national unification from the political, legal, economic, socio-cultural perspectives. This study approaches Hong Kong-China integration from the hotly contested issue of nationalistic education, attempted to be implemented by the Hong Kong government in the official school curriculum. I use as my data sources official documents issued by government agencies including the Chief Executive’s annual Policy Address, an internal report of the Commission on Strategic Development, and curriculum guides of the Curriculum Development Council to tease …

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

As the Hong Kong society continues to promote the culture of caring for the needy, more students are encouraged to participate in voluntary services during their primary and secondary school study. These students have experiences to serve the needy in forms of social gathering activities, tour guiding & language tutorial…etc, which enhance their confidence and motivation to attempt service learning projects in future.

Based on surveyed figures of the students participated in different service learning projects in the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, at the early stage of the projects, it is revealed that these students would easily overlook the dimension …

Service Learning In Rural China, Diane Geng

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

This paper discusses opportunities for and suitability of Service Learning as a teaching methodology in formal and non-formal settings in rural mainland China.

Stewardship Of Water Through Ensuring Sustainable Development Of River Banks, Justin R. Nayagam

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

The state Kerala is blessed with scenic beauty and appears evergreen throughout the year as it regularly receives South West and North West monsoons. The wetlands of Kerala provide myriad of biological functions lending ecological and economic sustainability to the region. However, due to immense biotic interferences, such habitats are under threat, and have shrunken in size considerably. The present work is an attempt to develop awareness in students, farmers and commoners on the degree of habitat destruction; and to implement strategies for eco-restoration of specific sites under study. Ten students of graduate stream and two from post graduate level …

Practicing Service Learning In Teacher Education As A Force To Address Social Problems, Leonilla Menezes

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

Higher education has a long standing commitment to serving society. From the earlier days the objective of higher education has been for developing professionals who serve society, engaging learned individuals in civic responsibility, and creating leaders to head industry, community organizations, and government. Today we see higher education’s role in serving the public good is becoming defined narrowly as the education of students for the workforce and promote material civilization. Higher education’s current commitment needs to be rethought and refocused to meet the current needs of society. Working with the Community has been a regular practice in Teacher Education. The …

The Practice Of Reflection As A Mean To Develop Reflective Intercultural Competence And Its Assessment Through The Rica Model, Lavinia Bracci, Jules M. Bella Owona

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

The IC is an independent, non-profit organization with the objective of promoting intercultural exchange around the world through a commitment to service-learning and community engagement. From the general observation of the fast development of intercultural sensitivity of the students participating in our service-learning program, in 2004 the IC faculty designed an instructional approach called Full-immersion: Culture, Content, Service (FICCS) (Bracci & Filippone 2009). In 2008 the IC faculty designed the Reflective Intercultural Assessment Model (RICA) (Biagi et al. 2012) to measure the unique competence resulting from the use of the FICCS approach: Reflective Intercultural Competence, or RIC (idem).

Serving Others With Unity Of Knowledge And Practice, Qiaohong, Helen Huo

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

服务-学习是一种将社区服务与课程学习相结合的有效教学方法。多年来，学者们总结出各种服务-学习的模式，其中课程型的社区参与服务-学习模式最能体现服务-学习的最终目标。 课程型的社区参与服务-学习分为必修课和选修课两种。我院结合旅游管理专业特性，面向本专业已经具有志愿服务意愿和实践的义工队队员开设了两学期的服务学习选修课，服务学习（一）和服务学习（二），4学分。按照服务学习先学校后社区，先泛后专的阶梯模式，逐步引导同学运用专业知识服务他人，服务社区，并从社区服务实践中提升了对社会的关注和社会责任感，全面提升同学的沟通能力、团队合作能力、分析和解决问题的能力。我们相信，学生只有先走进社区，了解社区基层人员的真实需要，将需要转化为学习课题和实践项目，才可以让服务学习具有持久的生命力。

University Campus As Service Site : Addressing Campus Needs Through Service-Learning, Hau Hing, Elaine Tang

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

Service-Learning (S-L) has been proven in many studies to be a good means for promoting university students’ civic / community engagement (e.g. Vickers, Harris & McCarthy, 2004; Astin et al., 2006). A vast majority of the services in S-L courses in Higher Education take place in partnering service agencies and communities they serve, such as elderly homes and social enterprises. The idea that university campus is a community with unique needs and therefore a potential service site is often neglected. There are indeed social needs within university campuses, such as food waste (e.g. UC Berkeley, 2012; The City University of …
