Field Experience is viewed as central to our education programmes at the EdUHK, because it:
-
1
provides students with the opportunity for socialisation into the profession.
-
2
facilitates the creation of a learning community to learn together thus to enhance their professional development.
-
3
gives students the opportunity to develop and ultimately to demonstrate their competence and readiness to enter the profession.
-
4
encourages students to innovate and reflect on their practice within a supportive environment as part of their professional development process.
-
5
places students in schools which are important contexts for learning to teach and where they interpret, generate, interact and experiment with theory.
