The
Education Bureau is actively promoting STEAM in primary and secondary schools,
and has announced the “Enriched Module on Coding Education for Upper
Primary Level”, to help schools implement coding education more
systematically. The curriculum units are adopted and adapted from CoolThink@JC programme.
The Education University of Hong Kong, through the CoolThink@JC programme, will
provide free teacher workshops related to coding education. The Artificial
Intelligence and Digital Competence Education Centre (AIDCEC) at The Education
University of Hong Kong has established two communities of Practice (CoPs) for
teacher professional development, named “CoP
on CT Implementation and Catering for Learner Diversity” and “CoP on Integrating CT into Subject Learning”.
These communities aimed at providing teachers with opportunities for mutual
exchange and helping teachers gain a deeper understanding of computational
thinking education, specifically: (1) how to implement it in schools, (2) how
to cater for learning diversity, and (3) how to integrate computational
thinking into subject learning. Seven schools, which have rich experience in
implementing computational thinking education (CTE), co-lead these communities
of practice:
Chan
Sui Ki (La Salle) Primary School
Fukien
Secondary School Affiliated School
King’s
College Old Boys’ Association Primary School No. 2
Li
Cheng Uk Government Primary School
PLK
Women’s Welfare Club (WD) Fung Lee Pui Yiu Primary School
Tuen
Mun Government Primary School
W F
Joseph Lee Primary School
We sincerely invite primary school teachers to participate in the Communities of Practice and related activities.
