Research

PhD Students’ Career Intentions and Trajectories in Greater China and Beyond

A mounting number of PhD students and graduates face increasingly constrained academic labour markets. Dr Hugo Horta, Associate Professor of the Faculty's Academic Unit of Social Contexts and Policies of Education, is conducting some research to assess the experiences, motivations and intended career trajectories of PhD students in Greater China and beyond.

Understanding Chinese Conceptualisations of “Plagiarism” and Exploring Intertextual Education in Schools

Everyone may know what “plagiarism” is, but Dr Li Yongyan has looked further into understanding Chinese conceptualisations of “plagiarism” from a historical perspective, and has explored how intertextual education has been conducted in schools in Hong Kong and mainland China.

Your Brain, You Say!

Dr Ouyang Guang incorporated the concept of individual specificity into neuroadaptive cognitive neuroscience research to make it more pragmatic and natural. He and his collaborators developed a system that can extract individually specific neural profiles in real time

The Unrealised Potential of Feedback

Professor David Carless is a pioneer in feedback literacy, particularly at the tertiary level. His efforts recently earned him a Humanities and Social Sciences Prestigious Fellowship from the University Grants Council to further his research and a Teaching Development Grant to consider how to apply his findings at HKU.

A Trip Back in Time

Dr Peter Cobb and Dr Juuso Nieminen deployed extended reality to help students walk through the sites that no longer exist and discuss their observations through avatars through a Teaching Development Grant.

New Tool Puts Focus on Classroom Talk

Dr Chen Gaowei developed a new tool called Classroom Discourse Analyser (CDA), a video-visualisation software that can visualise teachers' and students' engagement and help in-service teachers and student-teachers identify areas of improvement. The CDA can help by making teachers aware of just how much they are helping or hindering students in their classroom talk.

Game for a Change

Dr Timothy Hew used gamification to motivate students and self-regulated learning by getting them to set goals and monitor and reflect on their learning.

Learning by "Seeing"

Describing scenery and situations is a common topic in Chinese writing at schools. However, how can students describe places more concretely without having visited them before? This is where technology plays an important role, and Dr Gary Wong’s project is a brilliant example to illustrate how technology can facilitate students’ learning.

Digital Citizenship Study Uncovers Competency Concerns in Hong Kong

In 2016, a multi-disciplinary team led by Professor Nancy Law, Deputy Director, Centre for Information Technology in Education, embarked on a five-year longitudinal study entitled “Hong Kong Students’ Digital Citizenship Development”, with the aim of assessing digital competencies in school children.

Archaeological Fieldwork in Armenia Exciting Opportunity for UGs

An archaeological research programme directed by Dr Peter J. Cobb enabled students to study the past of Armenia and the Ancient Near East and to excavate an ancient fortress and other settlements, marking one of the first times a university from East Asia has taken on a significant role in a major archaeological expedition to the Ancient Near East.
