Envisioning a Computationally Enhanced Mathematics Curriculum in Hong Kong’s Primary & Secondary Schools
About this project
Project Objectives
-
To study students' development of computer science concepts upon engaging in a series of problem-based digital making (dM) activities.
-
To examine students' computational problem-solving practices, mathematical thinking, and any CT- and mathematics-related challenges that emerge during problem-based dM activities.
-
To observe the impact of CT on students' perspectives about themselves as computational thinkers and problem solvers, and about the role of programming in various facets of life.
-
To develop evidence-based accounts of implementing a computationally enhanced mathematics curriculum in formal education settings and a possible learning trajectory.

Collaboration with 4+ schools
Collaborating with primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong on lesson implementations with 'problem-based digital making' mathematics pedagogies.
Lesson Designing and Refining
Producing professional knowledge through designing and refining teaching materials.
Workshops for Maths teachers
Presenting at school-based workshops and professional conferences to disseminate research results and share best practices.
4+ classroom teaching experiments, 120+ students
Since project commencement in 2021, classroom teaching experiments had been held in 4 schools with 120+ students. More classroom teaching experiments will be held in the next academic year.
