Psychosocial patterns of online social participation, psychological well-being, and learning opportunities in digital and global competences: Between Europe and Asia
Young adults engage online, but not always competently or responsibly. This study examined media literacy (ML) and online civic engagement (OCE) to identify psychosocial profiles and explore their associations with psychological well-being (PWB). A sample of 1,298 university students from Poland, Bangladesh, and Hong Kong was analyzed. Clustering identified four profiles: Cautious Observers (38%), Careless Activists (23%), Digital Leaders (21%), …
Media and information literacy's antecedents and consequences: A survey of Hong Kong University students
Studies have shown how instruction can improve students’ media and information literacy (MIL), but researchers have not modeled MIL's broader antecedents or consequences. Hence, we explore demographics, digital citizenship's, and online engagement's links to MIL, and its ties to social trust or psychological well-being (PWB). In Hong Kong, 726 university students completed surveys. Our structural equation model showed that students with stronger …
Who intended to leave? Patterns and impacts of Hong Kong's recent wave of migration
During Hong Kong's 2019 political turmoil and the subsequent impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, a rapid rise in turnover rates in certain occupations, such as teachers, medical workers and civil servants, was observed. Some attributed this trend to the increasing rate of emigration. Previous studies have suggested that younger and better‐educated individuals are more likely to emigrate, and that the emigration of a specific group of…
Do people feel they belong? Socio-political factors shaping the place attachment of Hong Kong citizens
Hong Kong citizens' sense of belonging has gone through a period of fluctuation during the period of rapid socio-political and legal change since the outbreak of the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement in 2019. This study explored how multiple dimensions of the place attachment of Hong Kong citizens have been shaped by factors associated with these changes. Six socio-political variables were incorporated into the three dimensions of the …
Handling national controversy on the education frontline: Perceptions of Hong Kong teachers on the pedagogies for National Education
During the turbulent 2018–19 school year, we researched Hong Kong teachers’ perceptions regarding the design and implementation of National Education in schools for students aged 12–17. We seek to make a contribution to understandings of aspects of the cultural, political and social dimensions and contexts relevant to teacher education. 41 civic and/or national education teachers were interviewed about their educational aims, content, teaching me…
Hong Kong’s new wave of migration: Socio-political factors of individuals’ intention to emigrate
With a recent surge in the outward movement of the population, a new wave of emigration has been suggested to have started in Hong Kong. It is speculated that recent socio-political changes in Hong Kong may have contributed to this phenomenon. Therefore, five socio-political variables-mobility, sense of place, trust and confidence in the law and the legal system, global citizenship, and perception of inequality-are employed in this study as propo…
Teaching about and for social justice in teacher education in Hong Kong
This paper analyses the learning impacts of a social justice learning unit, which was implemented through three lectures in each of two undergraduate teacher education courses in 2017/18 across two semesters. The design of the unit allows for social inquiry and experiential learning in the undergraduate curriculum. A sequential mixed-methods design was adopted, with pre and post questionnaire and interview data gathered from undergraduate student…
Civic education guidelines in Hong Kong 1985–2012: Striving for normative stability in turbulent social and political contexts
The dynamic of how civic education is framed during turbulent periods is illuminated through analysis of three Hong Kong official civic education curriculum guidelines (1985, 1996, 2012). Guidelines are publicly available, officially sanctioned statements of purpose that have particular relevance for education professionals and are used around the world to characterize educational initiatives. Our focus is on guidelines written during periods in …

Casino Interests, FujianTongxianghuiand Electoral Politics in Macao
The study of hometown associations has been traditionally focused on their social and cultural activities, but little research has been conducted on their political and electoral participation.

Teaching Human Rights and Rule of Law in Class: A Case Study of Two Secondary Schools in Hong Kong
Choosing two schools as a case study, the article reports how teaching approaches can differ and explains how teacher style, school ethos, and student expectation can shape pedagogical choice. Impact of the teaching and the difficulties teachers encountered are also reported. Whilst this article is probably one of the first to explore the issue of human rights and rule of law teaching in Hong Kong, the fact that it is a small case study needs to …
Tutors and tutorials: Students' perceptions in a New Zealand university
Students are considered to be the main 'customers' in universities and polytechnics and increasingly they seek to have their needs met. This is one of the main reasons for persistent calls for the improvement of teaching in higher education. Tutors play an important role in the delivery of undergraduate education, although they are often perceived as a 'neglected' or 'invisible' group. This paper assesses students' perceptions of tutors and the f…
