Action Research Project: Developing Pedagogic Model in Teaching New Secondary Curriculum through Global Citizenship Education

This action research project, which is funded by Oxfam(Hong Kong), will be undertaken by Department of International Education and Lifelong Learning (Centre for Governance and Citizenship as research hub), The Hong Kong Institute of Education, and supported by Oxfam Hong Kong. The project aims to generate knowledge to help mainstream the concern of Global Citizenship Education (GCE) into Junior Secondary Curriculum. The project will produce a teaching framework of GCE that would support the delivery of themes in the Key Learning Area (KLA) of ‘Personal, Social and Humanities Education’ (PSHE) and study the effectiveness of teaching two essential competencies in GCE model from teachers’ perspectives and the impacts on students in three pilot schools. The research will generate recommendations on GCE teaching pedagogies and practices. The GCE teaching framework and research result will be disseminated to humanities teachers in secondary schools through seminar and other platforms. The lesson plans and materials generated in the action research project will be uploaded to partners and OHK’s education website for dissemination.
