Class of 1964 Reunion 2012 Activities

Created: 05 October 2012

Day 1 – Conference & Gala Dinner

The much anticipated reunion for the class of ’64 opened its curtain on October 1, 2012.  Classmates from Hong Kong, the States and various provinces of Canada assembled in Toronto. We kicked off day 1 with the usual conference to determine on what we should do for the next one in 2014. Since it will be our 50th anniversary, decision on the venue was reached quickly -- Hong Kong. There would be a cruise program either from Hong Kong to Singapore or Hong Kong to Xiamen (厦門). Other activities were also discussed followed by lunch with spouses.

Our Gala Dinner was held at La Rosa (天寶閣) at 7 p.m. We had 51 people in all including an honourable guest - our beloved Ho sir. We mingled and laughed and for sure, putting that many 64ers together in one room, you could be sure of a riot, a riot of fun and joy.

In memory of Gregory Chow (周仁傑), a video was made using some photos of his and was presented at the Gala dinner. To watch the video, click here.

陳岡﹕國教科重價值判斷 通識科只重知識？

Created: 27 September 2012

【明報專訊】教育局長吳克儉9月19日在交流會上，被問到通識科中已有現代中國的主題，不明白當局為何要另設德育及國民教育科。報載吳局長解釋說，德育及國民教育科有助學生主觀的價值判斷，通識科的現代中國部分則是在知識層面了解國家，兩者並不相同。這種說法會誤導公眾，以為通識科只需學生學「硬知識」，不重視價值判斷，而學生在國家事務上做價值判斷時不需要運用知識。

在通識科，我們經常問學生「你是否同意」或「你在多大程度上同意」某種說法，然後請學生解釋立場。考評局所擬的通識科公開試試題，也經常這樣問考生（曾任考評局主席的吳局長應該很清楚）。這不是價值判斷是什麼？要作出這種判斷，知識不重要嗎？舉例說，要學生判斷中央政府現時處理與日本釣魚台衝突的政策是否恰當，學生是否應先對中日關係的歷史、東亞的地緣政治、中日的經貿關係等（還有其他方面的）知識有基本了解，才能作出具有識見的判斷？吳局長的言論將價值判斷與知識割裂，與一些只有民族主義激情的「主觀價值判斷」有什麼分別？

通識科的學習成果和評估目標同時包括「在研習當代議題時能應用相關的知識」和「運用批判性思考能力……從多角度考慮作出判斷」等目標（課程文件第97頁），就是顯示知識、思考能力和價值判斷之間不可切割的關係。「德國科」的課程宗旨，亦包括「發展批判性思考能力，以客觀（筆者按：並非「主觀」）和理性態度……作出合情合理的判斷」（課程指引第2頁）。正因為「德國科」內的知識內容、思考能力和價值判斷等等都在通識科及很多初中學科中同時存在，所以「德國科」根本毋須獨立成科。吳局長當初堅持獨立成科，與他不了解學習知識與價值判斷的關係，不了解通識科和「德國科」的課程宗旨，不無關係。
