Presentation Topic:
Integration of knowledge, critical thinking and values: The challenge for Liberal Studies

Abstract:
The senior secondary Liberal Studies curriculum places a great emphasis on developing students' interdisciplinary knowledge, critical thinking and values. This presentation attempts to analyse the inter-relationships and interactions among these three areas. It will suggest some teaching and learning strategies and methods that could help students to integrate knowledge, critical thinking and values when faced with issues related to personal self, society, science and technology, or environment so as to achieve the goals of Liberal Studies.
