A team of researchers from the University of Hong Kong (HKU) and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology conducted an action-focused study titled “eCitizen Education 360”, covering school experiences since the first class suspension in February 2020.  

In this press conference held via ZOOM, Professor Nancy Law, Deputy Director, Centre for Information Technology in Education (CITE), Faculty of Education, HKU, will present the third batch of unique research findings (following the first two batches released in July and August 2020 earlier). It will shed light on how the extended periods of online teaching during school suspension influenced teachers’ pedagogical practices and perceptions of their effectiveness, changes after school resumption, and factors affecting them.  Implications for support to teachers will be discussed.

The first release reported on the impact of online learning during school suspension on students from different socioeconomic backgrounds, and the second on what school-level arrangements contributed to better e-learning/online learning preparedness for teachers and students.
