Joe Tin-Yau LO & Irene Nga-Yee CHENG

Abstract

In 2000, the Hong Kong Curriculum Development Council published the consultation document on educational reform, re-affirming the role played by integrated curriculum in the holistic development of the pupils. In fact, General Studies, as an i ntegrated curriculum, has been implemented for five years. Teachers' perception, knowledge, and practice of such integrated curriculum would definitely have referential and revelatory values for the further development in curriculum. This paper adopts a q uantitative approach with the use of questionnaire survey as an instrument to analyse teachers' perception, knowledge, and practice of integrated curriculum for the sake of charting the proper course for its future development.

Keywords: integrated curriculum; General Studies; holistic development
