Parents' Learning-Related Practices and Children's School Readiness at the Transition to Kindergarten: Comparing Mainland Chinese Immigrant Families and Native Families in Hong Kong and the United States |
|
Principal Investigator:
Prof. Ng Fei Yin Florrie (Department of Educational Psychology)
Co-Investigator:
Prof. Catherine Tamis-LeMonda (New York University, the United States)
The overarching aim is to compare immigrant and native parents' learning-related practices and the effect on children's readiness for formal education at the transition to kindergarten. During this transition, children have to adjust to the routines and structure of a formal classroom, where learning becomes evaluated, and to social interactions with new peers and adult authorities. The increased demands for self-regulation and planning are often challenging for children. The transition is particularly critical for immigrant children, because it represents their first extensive immersion into the host society. Unfortunately, the adjustments associated with immigration often usurp immigrant parents' time and psychological resources, compromising their abilities to prepare their children for formal schooling. As such, immigrant children may be disadvantaged from their first encounter with achievement contexts and begin unfavorable academic trajectories. With education as a major avenue of upward mobility, this can hinder immigrants' integration into the host society.

The Relationship between Language Proficiencies and Attentional Control among Cantonese-English Bilinguals in Hong Kong |
|
In Hong Kong, most students from primary and secondary schools can be regarded as Cantonese-English bilinguals who can operate in both languages at a different level of proficiency. While the abilities to speak, write, read, and comprehend two languages are clearly language skills, recent research has demonstrated that bilinguals outperform those who know only one language (i.e., monolinguals) in attention-demanding tasks. The goal of the proposed study is to examine how this "bilingual advantage" in attention tasks is modulated by bilinguals' language proficiencies.

Thoughts about Research from the Undergraduate Students |
|
From Chan Tik Wah Eddie (Year 4 SSPE Student)
As a SSPE undergraduate in CUHK, the BEd degree at SSPE has given us a great opportunity to experience the fundamentals of research, especially in a PE-related setting. Research experience is essential towards our studies in the course, through them, we can gain a first hand experience in dealing with social issues and problems concerning our society. For instance, we can investigate in greater depth, topics such as obesity, sporting performances in Hong Kong and other health related areas. With the statistical course which we have taken in our first university year, the two courses (the statistical course and research course) combine well together, allowing us to apply our knowledge in research topics that we are interested in, with full support from the Department.

教育碩士（教育政策專修）學生
每當國民教育這個議題見諸媒體，社會上總有聲音批評一些對所謂「國民教育」的有所保留的人。黃均瑜（2010）指出「如果（對國民教育的）論點來來去去都離不開『洗腦論』和『狹隘論』，那麼，這只顯示出香港儘管已經回歸了13年，不少事物雖然都在開放、在進步，但在某些論者心目中，國民教育似乎依然停留了在歷史某一時空。」
