    • Description of process and deliverables

    Extra-curricular activities (ECA) have been playing a significant role in students’ development. It is particularly true that after the implementation of new 3-3-4 academic structure, the significance of ECA in students’ whole-personal development is greatly emphasized in both Life Wide Learning (LWL) and Other Learning Experience (OLE) in primary and secondary school curricular.

    Echoing the outcomes-based approach (OBA) curriculum trend, the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has embarked a project aiming to facilitate the promotion of OBA for teaching and learning in teacher education context. The project intends to adopt OBA as guidance and incorporate its concepts into ECA teacher education courses. A specially designed multi-media learning resources database and a series of learning activities with the application of study tools available from an e-Learning platform are developed to help students in constructing their own learning portfolios and understanding their personal learning progress.
