Tam, Po Chi – Pedagogy, Culture and Society, 2018

An Examination of Class Size Reduction on Teaching and Learning Processes: A Theoretical Perspective
Harfitt, Gary James; Tsui, Amy B. M. – British Educational Research Journal, 2015
The question of how class size impacts on student learning has been debated for some time, not least because it has substantial financial implications for educational policy.

Kember, David; Ho, Amaly; Leung, Doris Y. P. – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2016
There is a need for a questionnaire designed specifically to evaluate taught postgraduate (TPg) awards for quality assurance or enhancement purposes. Comparison of undergraduate and TPg awards suggests that as the former have broadened their ambit to better nurture generic graduate attributes, TPg awards have concentrated on advanced specialised…

To, Jessica – Research in Post-Compulsory Education, 2016
Exploring students' perspective on feedback is high on the research agenda following the comparatively lower satisfaction scores for assessment and feedback in the National Student Survey. However, limited research examines how teachers and students perceive the same feedback events in the post-secondary context. This case study fills the gap by…

Internationalisation has recently become one of the major developmental goals within many institutions of higher education, where the use of languages on campus plays an important role. While research focusing on the use of English in higher education is growing, little attention has been paid to out-of-class contexts. This paper reports on the…

Hong Kong has become a political city since 1997 after the return of sovereignty from Britain to China, and the issue of democracy and universal suffrage is still a question.
