Inspiring innovative thinking: Enlightenment of Canadian education experience on the development of STEM education in Hong Kong

— Exploring a new educational model that integrates innovation and interdisciplinary studies —

1. Introduction: The current status of STEM education in Hong Kong and Canada’s innovative initiatives

Against the backdrop of the booming global knowledge economy, science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education is gaining increasing attention. As an international metropolis committed to developing a knowledge-based economy, Hong Kong is also actively promoting STEM education, aiming to cultivate students' innovative thinking, problem-solving skills and competitiveness in adapting to future social challenges. Since 2015-2016, the Hong Kong government has increased its investment to promote the development of STEM education in primary and secondary schools through various measures such as policy support, financial subsidies and curriculum reform. The Government hopes to train students to become lifelong learners in the fields of science, technology and mathematics to meet the challenges of the 21st century and to reserve talent for Hong Kong's innovation and technology development.

At the same time, innovative educational concepts and practices continue to emerge internationally. The Upper Grand District School Board (UGDSB) in Ontario, Canada, recently incorporated STEM elements into French learning, providing us with a new perspective through hands-on activities implemented through the LEGO Spike science creativity kit. This report aims to deeply analyze the educational philosophy of this initiative, explore its implications for the development of STEM education in Hong Kong, and provide strategic recommendations for Kidrise.

2. Deconstructing News Reporting: Core Principles and Practices of UGDSB Education Initiatives

At the heart of UGDSB’s innovative program is the clever integration of seemingly disparate disciplines—French and STEM—that embodies several important educational principles and practices. Students naturally learn French while building and creating with the LEGO Spike science creative kit, embodying the concept of constructivism and the modern STEM education spirit of "learning by doing".

Furthermore, the program demonstrates the potential for interdisciplinary integration. By breaking down barriers between disciplines, students are able to build confidence in two languages and multiple areas of knowledge, further expanding their creativity and problem-solving abilities. Overall, the hands-on and active participation teaching model not only increases the fun of learning, but also helps students to have a deep understanding of abstract concepts.

3. The current situation, progress and challenges of STEM education in Hong Kong

Since 2016, Hong Kong has vigorously promoted STEM education. The government not only increased the annual budget, but also provided special funding for primary and secondary schools to enhance STEM teaching resources. In terms of curriculum design, the Hong Kong Education Bureau integrates STEM into the main learning areas of primary and secondary schools, and promotes the establishment of resources such as "IT Innovation Laboratories" to support teaching activities.

However, Hong Kong also faces challenges in the development of STEM education, such as insufficient curriculum standardization, difficulties in teacher training and interdisciplinary collaboration, and an assessment culture dominated by test scores. These problems, to some extent, limit students' more comprehensive development in STEM fields.

4. Bridge: Implications of UGDSB’s experience for STEM education in Hong Kong

Comparing the successful experience of UGDSB with the current status of STEM education in Hong Kong, we can find many things worth learning from. Firstly, UGDSB’s emphasis on hands-on practice and active participation is highly consistent with the goals of Hong Kong’s STEM curriculum; secondly, its interdisciplinary integration model provides innovative ideas, suggesting that Hong Kong has the potential to promote the integration of STEM with humanities, arts, languages and other disciplines.

In addition, by showcasing successful hands-on cases, Hong Kong educators can overcome the problem of superficial curriculum integration in the current curriculum and further stimulate students’ interest and enthusiasm in learning STEM.

5. Planning for the future: the development direction of STEM education in Hong Kong

Drawing on the successful experience of UGDSB, the development of STEM education in Hong Kong in the future can start from the following directions:

Strengthen interdisciplinary integration: Explore the organic combination of STEM with humanities, arts, languages and other subjects to enhance learning interest and comprehensive ability.
Improve teacher training and professional development: Increase teacher training efforts and provide effective interdisciplinary teaching knowledge and skills support.
Promote inquiry-based and problem-oriented learning: encourage students to actively explore and solve problems, and cultivate critical thinking and creativity.
Shift assessment focus: Adopt more authentic assessment methods that focus on students’ performance in the actual application of knowledge and skills.
Promote collaboration and partnerships: Strengthen collaboration between schools, communities and industry to create more opportunities for real-world STEM experiences.

6. Assessment Applicability: Feasibility Analysis in the Hong Kong Educational Context

In line with Hong Kong’s goal of developing a knowledge-based economy and nurturing innovative technological talents, the above development direction is highly feasible in Hong Kong. Although the current examination-oriented culture poses challenges, by gradually incorporating new assessment methods and teaching models, Hong Kong can effectively enhance students’ STEM capabilities and reserve talents for future economic development.

At the same time, Hong Kong's sound educational infrastructure, highly qualified teaching staff and strong higher education system provide a solid guarantee for the implementation of these development directions. Adjustments to education policies and resource investment will be the key to driving change.

7. Advice to Kidrise: In line with the future development of STEM education in Hong Kong

Kidrise can play an active role in promoting STEM education among children in Hong Kong. First, resources and toys that support interdisciplinary learning should be developed, and STEM products that integrate language, art and cultural elements should be designed. Second, children should be encouraged to ask questions and solve problems through inquiry-based workshops and courses. At the same time, practical guides and resources on integrating STEM teaching should be provided to parents and teachers.

In addition, establishing partnerships with schools and community organizations, sharing success stories, and emphasizing the long-term benefits of STEM education will help inspire more students to be interested in and engaged in STEM fields.

8. Conclusion: The future of STEM education in Hong Kong

The development of STEM education in Hong Kong needs to embrace innovative approaches and learn from international success stories. Strengthening interdisciplinary integration, improving teacher training, promoting inquiry-based learning, changing assessment methods and promoting multi-party collaboration are all important strategies for promoting STEM education in the future. Despite challenges such as the traditional examination culture, Hong Kong is expected to cultivate the next generation of talents with innovative spirit and practical ability through systemic changes and strategic pilot projects.

Institutions like Kidrise will play a key role in this transformation process by providing engaging educational resources and activities to help cultivate Hong Kong's future innovative talent.
