Tutoring Record

家長及學生在不同學習階段的心情/心態: 學習階段 難關 家長心情 學生心態 小五, 六 呈分試, 報讀中學 十分緊張 同樣緊張 中一至中三 無公開試 仍然關注 十分放鬆 中四及中五 預備文憑試(DSE) 開始緊張 依然放鬆 中六 文憑試, 升學/就業 非常緊張

調整學生面對初中課程心態: 新環境, 多機會 追求小步子進步 成功需付出 忌: “合格就得啦!” “唔係包尾嗰個就OK!” 食老本

家長應關注甚麼? 初中課程目標: 強化基礎能力(中/英/數) 發展高階思維/共通能力 擴濶知識基礎  預備高中課程(深,多,難)

家長應關注甚麼? 學生學習初中課程時面對的挑戰: 多科目 (點解讀多咁多科?) 上課時間長 (點解一日有十堂?) 分配時間做功課 (唔夠時間做功課!) 利用英語學習 (聽唔明老師講乜! / 點解咁多生字? / 睇唔明課文!)

初中(中一至中三)課程 Form 1 to 3 Curriculum Subject (科目) MOI (教學語言) English Language (英國語文) ENG Chinese Language (中國語文) CAN Mathematics (數學) Putonghua (普通話) PTH Computer Literacy (電腦) Integrated Science (綜合科學) Geography (地理) History Studies (歷史研習) Life & Society (生活與社會) ENG & CAN Religion Studies & Ethics (宗教及倫理) Music (音樂) Physical Education (體育) Visual Arts (視覺藝術)

Differences in curriculum 課程的分別 Primary School 小學 Junior Secondary 初中 Chinese Language 中國語文科 Chinese Language 中文語文科: 文言篇章較多，閱讀理解要求同學運用自己的文字表達。 English Language 英國語文科 English Language 英國語文科: 詞彙較多，不同文法學習模式，口語表達流暢，正確運用句子結構及文法。 Mathematics 數學科 Mathematics 數學科： 理解及解答應用題，運用數學語言，自學習慣。 General Studies 常識科 Integrated Science 綜合科學科: 詞彙較多，探究式學習，準確運用文字回答問題。 Life & Society 生活與社會科： 詞彙較多，對時事的認識，分析資料，發表意見。 History Studies 歷史研習科： 分析資料，批判性思考，發表意見。 Geography 地埋科： 詞彙較多，準確運用文字回答問題。。

開學前可以做甚麼? (尚有3週) 行為篇: 指導兒子處理好小學課本, 作業, 補充等 指導兒子收拾書枱, 書櫃 要求兒子在中一新課本及作業封面寫上中, 英姓名及班別 預備好功課袋及文具 調節生活規律, 早睡早起 溫習適應課程(SAP)的教材

開學前可以做甚麼? (尚有3週) 心態篇: 引導兒子訂立明確目標 (短期, 中期) 與兒子商討在新學年如何有效分配時間 (做功課, 溫習, 閲讀, 興趣班, 消閒, 休息等)

開學前可以做甚麼? (尚有3週) 防範未然篇: 與兒子訂立使用手提電話 / 電腦的原則及規定 手提電話 / 電腦是通訊及學習工具, 消閒是其次 晚上10時後須交出電話, 關上電腦 不可帶電話或電腦去洗手間 違反協議的後果

開學後需要留意甚麼? 每週檢查學生手冊功課紀錄一次, 並簽名作實, 留意兒子有否欠交功課 主動了解兒子在學校的學習情況, 觀察他是否能獨自完成功課 忌: 告訴兒子升中後, 一切都靠自己, 父母幫唔到

學生手冊功課記錄方法與小學不同! 目的: 訓練學生管理時間 ‘Assignments to be submitted” 與兒子討論如何分配時間完成 功課及預備默書或測驗 ‘Signature of Parent” 每週只需簽名一次

欠交功課處理 班主任堂收功課, 欠交功課同學須於放學後出席功課輔導班 如同學在一學期內欠交5天功課 > 警告 如同學在一學期內欠交10天功課 > 記缺點一次 如同學在一學期內欠交15天功課 > 記缺點一次 如同學在一學期內欠交20天功課 > 記缺點一次
