寰宇學校計劃：利用資訊科技促進科學教師專業發展

在過去數年，香港特區政府積極推行資訊科技教育，為提升學生及教師應用資訊科技的能力不遺餘力。不過，教師一般只利用電腦程式製作筆記及整理課堂資料，卻未能充份地運用資訊科技帶來的方便，有效地搜尋合適的教學資訊，令其課堂得以豐富之餘，亦協助提升個人的教學專業發展。「寰宇學校計劃」是一項國際性的研究項目，以互聯網及其他資訊科技的手段作為橋樑，打破地域限制，令各地教師可隨時隨地作世界性的學術交流，促進個人的教學專業發展，從而提高學生學習興趣。
In the past few years, tremendous effort has been contributed by the Government of the HKSAR for enhancing the competencies of local teachers and students in using Information Technology (IT). However, many teachers only make use of their personal computers for preparing study notes or other materials for use in the classrooms, but seldom search for relevant and suitable teaching information with the help of IT, in order to upgrade the quality of their classrooms, as well as to develop their teaching professionalism. Schools Around the World (SAW) is a multinational project which takes the advantage of the world wide web and other IT components for encouraging professional discussion among teachers around the world. By doing this, it is hoped that local teachers' teaching professionalism can be further developed, and the learning interest of the students can also be enhanced. Copyright © 2004 優質學校教育學報.
