[EOCP Project] Tutorials on Classroom Management and Pedagogy: Online PE
2022-12-21 00:00 - 23:59
COVID-19 and its ripple effects cause a permanent impact on learning and teaching environment in local schools. Due to the temporary suspension of face-to-face classes, shifting to online or blended classes swiftly as circumstances require will become a new normal. The EdUHK developed a platform named EdUHK Online Classes Platform (EOCP) in May 2020 to share readily usable teaching and learning videos with local schools to cater the immediate needs for in-service teachers. Later on, the platform extended its feature to include webinars and workshops which fostered exchange of insights in learning and teaching under the New Normal; as well as an online teaching experience scheme through which pre-service teachers at EdUHK served in local schools to support curricular and co-curricular activities online. Three NEW EOCP videos have been uploaded to the EdUHK Online Classes Platform (EOCP). These videos were organised by Dr. CHOW Chi Ching, Gary with support from the graduate, Ms Lam Yuen Sum [2017-22 BEd(PE), recently PE teacher at Fukien Secondary School]. Mr Ho Yik Kiu Kenneth, Miss Chu Hoi Ying, and Mr Tam Chi Chung shared their teaching on using online resources to teach PE under the new normal.

PE teacher from a secondary school – Mr. Tam was invited to talk about the difficulties and solutions on online teaching in PE subject under the pandemic. To solve privacy and teaching limitation in online classes, physical fitness self-learning platform was developed for students to browse different exercise videos demonstrated by teachers, so as to complete the exercise at home according to their ability and environmental limitation. Meanwhile, the online platform could record video views and students’ progress to encourage them to build up exercise habits. By the application of online tools, data can be collected and analyzed through the app, students could review their exercise records in order to raise their awareness of their body changes. Besides, teachers can prepare topics that students may be interested in during online classes, such as food nutrients, healthy weight reduction methods, etc. Online tools – Edpuzzle and Quizizz were mentioned to be one of the interactive methods to communicate with students through the online lessons, students were also recommended to hand in their exercise videos to achieve their goals. Finally, the speaker believes that there would be more online platforms to assist teachers in the future, so as to maintain good teaching quality in the online teaching era.

PE teacher from a primary school – Miss. Chu was invited to talk about her view on online teaching in PE. The speaker elaborates on her experience with teaching PE lessons in real-time practice and self-learning through online tools. For instance, finding alternatives of sports equipment at home, watching teaching videos prepared by teachers, and completing sports exercises through google classroom. To increase students’ motivation, rewards schemes and online competitions with school teachers are organized to encourage students to participate. In terms of safety, the degree of sport technique was adjusted, and parents were invited to exercise together with students. Finally, the speaker talks about her views on online and real-time PE teaching, and also demonstrate one of the alternatives for students that can be used at home for practicing.

PE teacher from a primary school – Mr. Ho was invited to talk about his view on applying IT in teaching PE. The speaker listed some of the online tools for recording data and preparation of teaching materials for students. By video shooting different PE topics from teachers and recording students’ performance by online equipment, teachers can review students’ progress and ability to adjust their teaching content. Moreover, to increase learning motivation, teachers design interesting PE activities and are involved in video shooting for demonstration, which could enhance students’ interactions and interest to participate in the lesson. Furthermore, in terms of tackling the safety issues of exercising at home, the speaker explained how they collaborate with parents on monitoring and arranging safety environment for students to take PE lessons at home to prevent any danger, such as the area needed for exercise, and alternatives of the sports equipment. In addition, video classwork for students was also applied to provide chances for them to use video-making tools and online platforms to demonstrate their work, as well as to self-learn and provide feedback for their peers.

Dr Carman LEUNG Announces Research Findings of study “physical fitness level of people using wheelchair in Hong Kong”
2023-01-14 00:00 - 23:59
Supported by Hong Kong Disneyland and in cooperation with Hong Kong Federation of Handicapped Youth (HKFHY), Dr. LEUNG Ka Man, Carman, Assistant Professor of HPE, has announced the findings of the physical fitness and physical activity level of Hong Kong people using wheelchair in a press conference on 14 January 2023. As the first research endeavor specifically for the population with physical disabilities in Hong Kong, Dr Leung and her research team revealed that wheelchair users have showed poor flexibility and body composition indices. Further, most participants were satisfied with their quality of life and would like to participate in outdoor activities and voluntary works. Based on the study’s results, Dr Leung and her research team suggested that an extensive investigation of physical fitness and physical activity level among people with all types of physical disabilities in Hong Kong should be conducted, especially those “hidden” wheelchair users. More resources should be invested to promote wheelchair users’ physical and mental health.

Thanks to The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust’s funding, the Department of Health and Physical Education (HPE) of The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) has launched the Jockey Club Sports Empowering Programme – the city’s first large-scale sports coaching programme integrating character education – with the support of Action Sports Foundation, the Hong Kong China Dragon Boat Association, Hong Kong Rugby Union, the Hong Kong Tennis Association and Hoops for Hope Basketball Asia.

To cultivate a conducive sports environment for young people, EdUHK has been adopting an “Empowering Coaching™” theory from the University of Birmingham. Apart from enhancing students’ skills and performance, the objectives of the three-year programme are to help coaches understand their students’ psychological needs, and develop empowering and enjoyable strategies to motivate them. In an empowering environment, students should be able to develop five positive attributes: self-confidence, leadership, resilience, mental toughness and social inclusion.
