Brief Introduction:

This project attempts to further extend the impact through the creation of a
learning community with the Liberal Studies school teachers at the participating

schools. The learning community met four times in the AY 2016-17. During the
meeting, the project leader assisted teachers of the participating schools to be

familiar with the teaching materials prepared in the previous two KT Seed Funds,
to provide more examples on the use of coding frames for content analysis and
skills in semiotic analysis in social science research. During these meetings,

participating teachers shared on the difficulties encountered during the
supervision of student projects. Additional teaching and learning materials in the

form of worksheets for content analysis were developed. These additional
teaching materials will be adopted at two participating schools, and revised

based on feedback. The project leader shall share the materials and experience
with Liberal Studies teachers of other schools through teacher development

programs.
