Learning Within and Beyond the Classroom 17 嶄新課程 專責小組多年來反覆討論四年制課程應如 何規劃，而又如何推展至落實於各科目內 容設計中，以得出預期的學習成果和培育 出理想中的畢業生素質。 2012 年 9 月推出 的四年制課程，並非復用舊模式，而是以 2006 年「大學策略計劃」所提出的願景為 基礎，並根據過往經驗，為迎接新世紀而重 新設計。 大學策劃課程時，摒棄回復舊學制的概念， 採用學習成果為本教學法，作為設計及管 理課程的基本原則。 四年制課程改革代表本科生教育的側重點 及教學法將有所轉移。世界變遷急劇，專狹 的學術知識已不合時宜，本科生教育走向 非專門化漸成全球大趨勢，隨之而來的是 普世價值愈加受到重視。新課程設計的出 發點是：大學畢業生無論主修哪門科系， 所有人都應共同具備某些技能及素質，這才 最有利於個人成長和事業發展。 有了上述的理念基礎，並以提升畢業生競 爭力為依歸，學生在新增的一年修業期， 將大部分用於修讀大學核心課程。所謂「核 心」，即這些課程是由大學設計及執行，所 有學生不論科系都要修讀。核心課程包括 英文、中文、通識教育、體育和資訊科技， 共佔本科課程總學分的三分之一。 New Curriculum The Task Force had held numerous discussions about how the desired attributes of graduates and the expected learning outcomes could be realized in each programme, then drilled down into courses. The new curriculum that was in place in September 2012 does not revert to the old model, but was designed afresh for the 21st century, based on CUHK’s experience and its aspirations as articulated in its Strategic Plan (2006). When developing the new curriculum, the University avoided simply reverting to old structures. The outcomes- based approaches to teaching and learning were adopted as a basic principle in curriculum design and management. The change to four years reflects a shift in emphasis and a new approach to undergraduate education. The world is changing so swiftly that a narrow academic focus can no longer stand the test of time. All over the world, undergraduate education is becoming less specialized. Accompanying this trend is a growing recognition of the importance of universal values. The new curriculum therefore starts from the belief that for the good of both personal and professional development, graduates should have certain skills and attributes that apply to all university graduates, irrespective of discipline. With this in mind and targeting the capabilities that our graduates will need to stay competitive, much of the extra year will be devoted to bolstering a University Core— ‘Core’ in the sense that it is centrally designed and implemented and that it applies to students of all disciplines.
