Department of Mathematics, May 2001

|Departmental Education Quality Work (EQW) Profile (Draft) |

|1. |Introduction |

| | |

|1.1 |This paper provides a summary profile of education quality work (EQW) carried out by the Department of Mathematics. |

| | |

|1.2 |EQW refers to those processes through which the quality of delivered instruction is assured and improved. The EQW framework is|

| |laid down by the University Grants Committee (UGC); it covers the following five domains: |

| | |

| |Domain 1: Design of curricula |

| |Domain 2: Design of teaching and learning processes |

| |Domain 3: Design of student assessment and use of assessment results |

| |Domain 4: Implementation quality |

| |Domain 5: Commitment of resources to EQW |

| | |

|1.3 |The Department has been developing and implementing EQW as defined by the UGC under the leadership of the Head of the |

| |Department (HoD) and the Deputy Head (DHoD). The mission of the Department is to provide quality mathematics teacher education|

| |to both preservice and in-service teachers. Not only are theory and practice linked in the teaching process, positive |

| |attitudes towards mathematics and life-long learning are also developed in the teachers. Staff members, at the same time, |

| |undertake applied research, professional development activities, and community services to enhance their teaching quality and |

| |to effect positive changes in mathematics education in Hong Kong. The mission statement can be found in Appendix A. |

| | |

|1.4 |The Department has set up different committees to implement the EQW with careful reference to the mission statements. (Please |

| |refer to the structure of the Department in Appendix B). |

| |The Curriculum Development Committee (CDC) is responsible for designing new curricula and revising existing ones. |

| |The Timetabling Committee selects and assigns the most appropriate staff members to teach particular groups of students and to|

| |supervise students in practical teaching. |

| |The Public Relations and Activities Committee organises extracurricular activities for development of students. |

| |The Research and Staff Development Committee provides information and assistance to staff on matters relating to research and |

| |development. By this process, staff members integrate research findings and teaching to ensure and improve student learning. |

| |The other committees (The Budget Committee, the Physical Resources Committee, and the Teaching Quality and Assessment |

| |Committee) devise mechanisms and support for assuring and improving teaching, learning, and assessment. |

| | |

| |Clerical and administrative support is provided by the Department’s General Office while technical support is the |

| |responsibility of the technician. A central filing system is developed and constantly reviewed so that staff members can |

| |easily access any relevant information from the documents relating teaching, learning, and assessment. |

| | |

|1.5 |The Departmental Meeting is the decision-making mechanism in the Department. It is held regularly and attended by all academic|

| |members with the Department’s General Office providing clerical and administrative support. The HoD is the chair of the |

| |meeting during which policies, regulations, and views about teaching, learning, and assessment and related matters are |

| |discussed and formulated. |

| | |

|1.6 |There are also module team meetings and informal meetings of staff members to discuss programme-related matters. These |

| |meetings can be held very easily since all staff members are located on the same floor of the same building. A free and open |

| |atmosphere has been fostered in the Department. |

| | |

|1.7 |Students are always welcomed to approach staff members for advice. Lecturers set aside five hours per week for student |

| |consultation. Students can also contact staff members via email and voice mail. In particular, students can approach the HoD |

| |and DHoD directly. They can also discuss student matters with the Teaching Quality and Assessments Committee. |

| | |

|1.8 |Students are free to use the Department’s resource room and computer room during office hours. Teaching aids and learning |

| |material are purchased so that students who have the need to use these materials, e.g., in their practical teaching, can |

| |borrow them for a period of time. |

| | |

|1.9 |The present paper will be structured in accordance with the domain classification mentioned in subsection 1.2 at the |

| |departmental level. Wherever a certain process addresses more than one EQW domain, cross-referencing will be used to minimize|

| |repetition. |

| | |

| | |

|2. |Design of Curricula |

| | |

| |New Programmes |

| | |

|2.1 |The Department’s CDC appoints module writers who are academic staff of the Department to develop the programme documents of |

| |the Department and the different module outlines for the programme with constant reference to the Department’s mission. The |

| |Department aims to foster proactive life-long learners who can integrate knowledge and practical experiences into their own |

| |teaching. (Please refer to Appendix A for the Department’s mission). |

| | |

|2.2 |Guidelines for preparing the Department’s programme documents and the module outlines are obtained from the programme |

| |development team formed under the School having custodianship of the programme. Specifically, the Department’s programme |

| |documents spell out the number of mathematics modules offered and the background of the mathematics programme. The module |

| |outlines, on the other hand, describe the modules stipulated in the programme documents. Each module outline consists of the |

| |module title, credit points, module synopsis, aims, objectives, content, teaching methods, assessment tasks, required texts, |

| |and recommended readings for the module . |

| | |

|2.3 |The CDC together with the module writers analyse the programme structure, its aims and objectives, and on the basis of student|

| |needs, identity and select appropriate module topics. They then consult members of the Department in formal meetings and |

| |informally among staff (through email and in person) the relevance and appropriateness of the modules. The consensual |

| |departmental programme documents and module outlines are then drafted by the module writers. The modules are sequenced by |

| |analysing prerequisite requirements. |

| | |

|2.4 |In preparing the programme documents and module outlines, the module writers consult international literature, e.g., the |

| |Standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, so that current trends of mathematics education are incorporated|

| |into the aims and objectives of the mathematics programme. |

| | |

|2.5 |The module writers also take into consideration the aims of current education reforms in Hong Kong. The development of generic|

| |skills (e.g., critical thinking, communication, problem solving, numeracy, information technology) and of the social, |

| |cultural, and aesthetic aspect of mathematics stressed in the forthcoming reform documents have been incorporated into modules|

| |where appropriate. |

| | |

|2.6 |The Research and Staff Development Committee organises seminars on curriculum issues for enhancing the knowledge of staff |

| |members. Members are also encouraged to participate in professional activities organized by different units in the Institute, |

| |for example, seminars and workshops organized by the Educational Technology Services Unit, the Centre for Teaching, Learning, |

| |and Supervision, the Office of Information Technology and Services, and the Centre for Research and International |

| |Collaboration. |

| | |

|2.7 |Local and overseas external consultants are invited by the Department to benchmark the newly developed documents against local|

| |and international standards. (Please refer to Appendix C for the process of curriculum design in the Department). |

| | |

|2.8 |The designed modules and documents for a programme is then rigorously examined by the following teams or panels in the |

| |following stated sequence: |

| | |

| |the Module Scrutiny Groups formed under the programme development team |

| |the Internal Validation Panel organized by the Institute |

| |the Institute’s Academic Validation and Monitoring Committee (AVMC) |

| |the Institute’s Academic Board, and |

| |the External Validation Panel organized by the Hong Kong Council of Academic Accreditation (HKCAA). |

| | |

| |The programme documents and module outlines are revised, where necessary, in each process. After the approval of the HKCAA, |

| |the new programme, and hence the mathematics modules, can be put into operation. They are also filed in the Department for |

| |staff members’ reference. |

| | |

| |Revision of Existing Modules |

| | |

|2.9 |At the end of an academic year, external examiners for each programme are invited by the Institute to advise on the teaching, |

| |learning, and assessment of the programme itself and on the delivery of individual modules. |

| | |

|2.10 |Students’ opinions on their own learning are obtained via |

| |the Institute’s formal module evaluations, |

| |formal staff-student consultative meetings organised by Programme Committees, and |

| |informally by contact with students in person or by some other means, e.g., by email. |

| | |

|2.11 |Improvements on learning and assessment are initiated during regular formal departmental meetings and frequent informal module|

| |team meetings held to discuss the various aspects of students’ learning and assessment. Individual module files consisting of |

| |module outlines, teaching and learning materials, assessment tasks, and samples of assessment items are prepared by the |

| |coordinator of the module. They are artifacts for constructive discussions. Student evaluation results can also be accessed |

| |and referred to in the discussion. |

| | |

|2.12 |The Department’s Teaching Quality and Assessment Committee reviews and proposes curriculum changes within the Department. It |

| |obtains information from module files, student evaluation, external examiners’ reports and plans improvement procedures for |

| |endorsement in Departmental meetings. |

| | |

|2.13 |Module writers design modules based on the recommendations from the various personnel and committees mentioned above. They are|

| |also responsible for revising module contents, objectives, teaching and learning activities, and assessment which are usually |

| |required at every stage of the curriculum development and revision process. |

| | |

|2.14 |The revised module outlines are then reviewed by the CDC before submission for approval by the AVMC and/or the Academic |

| |Planning and Development Committee (APDC) via the Programme Committees and the School Board. The AVMC will be involved when |

| |the revision is a major change, and it will refer the matter to the APDC when the revision has resource implications. |

| | |

|2.15 |The foregoing quality assurance as well as improvement processes are successful in designing new modules and in revising |

| |existing ones. |

| | |

| | |

|3. |Design of the Department’s Teaching and Learning Activities |

| | |

|3.1 |As mentioned in the previous sections, the CDC together with module writers develop teaching and learning activities by a |

| |suitable choice of contents in each module on the basis of |

| | |

| |students’ needs, |

| |the programme’s philosophy, |

| |the module objectives, |

| |the Department’s mission, and |

| |current trends in mathematics education |

| | |

| |Student learning is then verified by the design of relevant assessment tasks. |

| | |

|3.2 |The approval of newly designed teaching and learning activities in mathematics modules follows the procedures described in |

| |section 2. |

| | |

|3.3 |Revisions of teaching and learning activities may be required at every stage as part of the quality improvement process. |

| |Hence, module writers, besides designing new modules, are also responsible for module revisions. The revisions are then |

| |reviewed by the CDC. |

| | |

|3.4 |The approval of the revised modules then follows a similar procedure as described in section 2. |

| | |

|3.5 |There are frequent formal and informal discussions by module teams, especially at the beginning of a semester as well as |

| |towards the end of a semester with respect to teaching strategies and assessment activities. Changes can be initiated at this |

| |stage. For instance, since a three-hour block of mathematics learning imposes a heavy cognitive demand on students, the |

| |Department requests programme committees for appropriate scheduling according to the nature of the module to be taught. |

| | |

|3.6 |Staff members have to conduct and write a teaching reflection at the end of each semester based on the teaching evaluation |

| |results of the semester. An action plan is then formulated. This allows staff members to improve their teaching qualities. The|

| |self-reflection reports and action plans are sent to the General Office (MATH) for filing via the HoD. |

| | |

|3.7 |As mentioned in the previous sections, professional development activities, e.g., seminars on teaching and learning in |

| |mathematics education, are organised and supported by the Department to familiarise/update/share staff members’ knowledge |

| |about teaching and learning in mathematics education (a part of the responsibility of the Department’s Research and Staff |

| |Development Committee). Staff members are also encouraged to participate in workshops and seminars organized by the various |

| |units in the Institute. |

| | |

|3.8 |Staff members are also encouraged to participate in the Lecturer Attachment Scheme—an attachment to a school for a minimum of |

| |two weeks to update his/her knowledge of the local school situation—to inform teaching and learning back at the Institute. |

| | |

|3.9 |Consultancy work or community services are encouraged with a view to enhance, staff members’ professional knowledge and |

| |professional development. |

| | |

|3.10 |To widen students’ knowledge base, students are also invited to attend seminars organized by the Department. Some of these |

| |seminars are listed in Appendix D. |

| | |

|3.11 |A filing system has been developed to facilitate the retrieval of information about the above-mentioned teaching and learning |

| |related processes. The files, except those classified as confidential, are open to access by all the staff of the Department. |

| | |

|3.12 |The Department will continue to investigate and to design the kind of proper teaching and learning activities for students. |

| | |

|3.13 |The above quality assurance processes, proved to be successful in developing, reviewing, and revising teaching and learning |

| |activities, are also quality improvement processes. |

| | |

| | |

|4. |Design of Departmental Assessment |

| | |

|4.1 |The design and revision processes described in the previous sections apply also to this section. |

| | |

|4.2 |Assessment is developed or revised in order to achieve the teaching and learning objectives of the modules. For example, |

| |changes in assessment are made in the mathematics modules for the four-year and two-year BEd(P) programmes in 2000-2001 with |

| |an aim to improve teaching and learning. |

| | |

|4.3 |Prompt feedback to students on their performance in the various assessment activities are demanded from members of the |

| |Department. Feedback to students focuses on a student’s strengths and weaknesses. The identification of a student’s capability|

| |facilitates a student’s further learning as well as a lecturer’s improvement on his/her own teaching. |

| | |

|4.4 |It is generally agreed that for mathematics, academic studies modules should be assessed by both assignment and examination, |

| |while curriculum and methods modules are assessed through presentation, self-reflection, and report writing. |

| | |

|4.5 |Generally, the Department’s assessment emphasises the acquisition of basic skills, a repertoire of knowledge about teaching, |

| |theory and practice, and problem solving abilities. This develops in students positive attitudes towards mathematics learning |

| |and prepares them for life-long learning. |

| | |

|4.6 |The Department’s general assessment regulations (including teaching performance) adopt the institute-wide and programme-wide |

| |policies which are distributed to students in the form of student handbooks. A system of double marking in module assessment, |

| |second marker for failures in modules, and second supervisor for failing students in teaching practice is developed in the |

| |Department accordingly. For example, a Guideline to Teaching Practice in mathematics has been developed for use by the |

| |Department by incorporating and extending the general supervision guidelines stipulated in existing programmes to the nature |

| |of the subject. |

| | |

|4.7 |Assessment results and special cases are filed in the General Office (MATH). The information is particularly useful in |

| |Examination Board Meetings at the end of the academic year and in Departmental Meetings when improvement measures on student |

| |learning are discussed. |

| | |

|4.8 |The Department will continue |

| |to investigate the number and modes of appropriate assessment activities for each module, |

| |to strike a balance between the basic skills and knowledge about mathematics and mathematics teaching, |

| |to pursue formative and summative assessments to improve learning in addition to assessing student performance, and |

| |to improve the ways of communicating with and of giving feedback to students regarding their performance in the various |

| |assessment activities. |

| | |

| |The improvement in student assessment can be facilitated by way of staff meetings, seminars and workshops organized by the |

| |Department, and informal module meetings. |

| | |

|4.9 |The processes just described have been found to be successful in improving the quality of student assessment and hence in the |

| |quality of student learning. |

| | |

| | |

|5. |Implementation Quality |

| | |

|5.1 |The processes described in the above three domains are also processes for quality assurance and improvement in this domain. |

| | |

|5.2 |Staff members can express their wish to teach a particular module, to teach a particular group of students, or to supervise a |

| |certain group of students. |

| | |

|5.3 |The Department’s Timetabling Committee plans staff’s teaching assignments and supervision duties in accordance with their |

| |expertise and preference. Reasonable group size for each programme is also planned according to the nature of the module. |

| | |

|5.4 |Module coordination meetings are conducted usually at the beginning and at the end of the module (and often when the module is|

| |in progress) to discuss teaching and assessment, to review module outlines based on information given by external examiners, |

| |students and teaching staff, and to propose future changes, if any. |

| | |

|5.5 |Students with concerns on the teaching of mathematics modules are encouraged to discuss these with the Chair of the Teaching |

| |Quality and Assessment Committee. |

| | |

|5.6 |To assist students in their personal growth, extracurricular activities are organized and reviewed by the Department’s Public |

| |Relations and Activities Committee, e.g., the publication of the Department’s journal, DATUM, the organization of the Hong |

| |Kong Mathematics Olympiad and the co-organisation of the Hong Kong Primary Mathematics Competition. |

| | |

|5.7 |Cases of student misconduct, on the other hand, are investigated by the Department and referred to the Institute for |

| |disciplinary action. Appropriate measures will be taken, and the class of students will be informed about the incident by |

| |email (identities of the students involved are withheld). One case of cheating occurred in a mathematics examination in May |

| |2001 and was handled accordingly. |

| | |

|5.8 |The Department’s Research and Staff Development Committee provides information and assistance to staff on research and |

| |professional development matters. It processes and makes recommendations on applications for research grants. Other |

| |professional activities such as conference attendance and higher studies are discussed and endorsed by the HoD. |

| | |

|5.9 |The Budget Committee of the Department manages and plans the departmental budget and arranges the ordering of mathematics |

| |books for the Institute library. Expenditure of the Department is discussed in the committee’s meeting. A proposal is charted |

| |out and then sent to the HoD for approval. |

| | |

|5.10 |The Department’s Physical Resources Committee determines the purchases of equipment and teaching resources. It also oversees |

| |the functioning of the Department’s computer room and resource room. Again, the purchase of resource materials has to be |

| |endorsed by the HoD according to Institute regulations. |

| | |

|5.11 |The General Office (MATH) assists in preparing handouts for students, in facilitating communication among staff and students, |

| |and in providing clerical and administrative work necessary for fostering and enhancing quality teaching and supervision. The |

| |HoD and the DHoD monitor and review the smooth running of the Department; proposals for positive changes are discussed in |

| |Departmental Meetings. |

| | |

|5.12 |The processes described above are also quality improvement processes. |

| | |

| | |

|6. |Resources Allocation to EQW |

| | |

|6.1 |As mentioned above, the calculation and allocation of workload for teaching and supervision is the responsibility of the |

| |Timetabling Committee. The committee plans and proposes different group sizes for different programmes and workload of |

| |individual staff on the basis of the calculation provided by the Institute’s Office of Planning and Academic Implementation. |

| | |

|6.2 |Financial considerations are decided by the Institute’s Finance Office (FO); the various Departmental committees mentioned |

| |earlier act according to rules and regulations laid down by the FO. |

| | |

|6.3 |Regular formal and frequent informal meetings are held to discuss and plan the rationale for the allocation of resources. |

| |Procedures for resources acquisition are formulated under the committees. There are various forms designed for use by staff |

| |members, for instance, application form for research and development, acquisition form for resources and equipment. |

| | |

|6.4 |Results of discussions in formal meetings are minuted and kept in the Department for easy access by staff members. |

| | |

|6.5 |A filing system has been developed by the General Office (MATH). It has been under constant review by the HoD and DHoD |

| | |

|6.6 |The assurance processes mentioned in this domain are also improvement processes. |

| | |

| | |

|7 |Conclusion |

| | |

|7.1 |Since the establishment of the Department in July 1997, quite a number of quality processes have been developed over the years|

| |and have been shown to be rather effective in facilitating improvements. However, to achieve the mission of the Department—to |

| |provide quality mathematics teacher education, the Department will continue to strive to attain and maintain the delivered |

| |quality. In addition, the Department will find new and effective ways to improve the student learning processes, to |

| |incorporate assessment as learning, and to maintain the open and cordial quality culture that is much treasured in the |

| |Department. |
