History Trip Go Easy app analytics for 12 de março

Adopting e-learning in humanities subjects, which is one of the key focuses in the revised Personal, Social and Humanities Education (PSHE) Key Learning Area Curriculum Guide (Primary 1 – Secondary 6) (CDC, 2017), can enhance the effectiveness of learning and teaching. More specifically, the use of electronic technologies not only provides easy access to information which enables learning to take place beyond the classroom and school hours, but also enhances engagement in learning through sharing and collaboration and thereby facilitating the development of higher order thinking skills (e.g. problem solving and creativity). At the same time, it can support the construction and application of knowledge and allow students to be more autonomous in their learning process. The mobile app provides e-learning resources on Cheung Chau Jiao Festival and other field trips, including parts for preparation before field trip, routes for field trip, and extended learning. In addition, the field trip activities in the mobile app adopt augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), creatively incorporates e-learning into field trips and enhances students’ motivation to learn, and enables History learning to take place beyond the classroom and school hours. For example, students and teachers can experience the Jiao Festival anytime (including non-festival days) by using AR in this app to view the composite-scene parade in Cheung Chau or the arrangement of the festival area as if they were being there. Teachers can flexibly use this mobile app in the learning and teaching of History, thereby facilitating students’ self-directed learning and developing historical literacy, and cultivating the positive values and attitudes of taking up the responsibility of preserving antiquities and monuments, conserving cultural heritage and respecting for others.
