Postgraduate Diploma in Education Programme
Postgraduate Diploma in Education (Primary) Programme
Orientation Day (16 July 2011)
Introduction of Teaching Practice
Teaching practice (TP) is an integral part of Postgraduate Diploma in Education
Programme (PGDE) and Postgraduate Diploma in Education (Primary) Programme
(PGDP) offered by the Faculty of Education, aiming at nurturing students with strong
knowledge base in both academic and professional aspects in an authentic school
setting.
Learning Outcomes of Teaching Practice

The intended Learning Outcomes of TP are that students will:
(1) demonstrate competence in core teaching skills;
(2) integrate and apply pedagogical content knowledge in practice;
(3) apply concepts of reflective practice to real classroom situations; and
(4) develop appropriate attitudes and values of a qualified teacher.
Students should:
(1) Make full use of the opportunity to understand a teachers life in school.
(2) Learn to be effective, responsible and professional teachers.
(3) Actively explore professional experiences and enrich themselves during TP.
Components of TP
Students are required to complete a 10-week TP within the study period. Students
(except English major students) will have two blocks of TP and each block lasts for
five weeks (including preparation week). English major students will have one block
of TP in the second term.
Students should have 8 to 12 lessons per week or 10 to15 lessons per six-day cycle for
TP, with at least 70% of the time teaching their majors throughout the TP period.
Students are also required to attend all TP related activities:
z Briefing sessions
z Pre-TP school visit
z Review sessions
z Professional talks (optional)
z Workshops (optional)
Teaching Practice Periods

Students majoring in subjects other than English:
1st Block: 7 Nov 2011 (Mon) 3 Dec 2011 (Sat)
Preparation Week: 31 Oct 2011 (Mon) - 5 Nov 2011 (Sat)
2nd Block: 16 Apr 2012 (Mon) 12 May 2012 (Sat)
Preparation Week: 12 Mar 2012 (Mon) - 17 Mar 2012 (Sat)
Students majoring in English:
19 Mar 2012 (Mon) 19 May 2012 (Sat)
Preparation Week: 12 Mar 2012 (Mon) - 17 Mar 2012 (Sat)
Arrangement
z
z
z
z
z
z
Each student will be assigned to a practicum school by the Faculty.

Subject and Curriculum Teaching lecturers (SCT lecturers) will take several
considerations into account while assigning TP schools to students:
(1) characteristics of TP schools;
(2) quality of Teaching Advisers;
(3) students academic performance; and
(4) students language abilities.
Travelling distance and the banding of the TP schools are not crucial factors for
school assignment.
Students are not allowed to choose and swap their assigned TP schools themselves.
All TP arrangements should be confirmed and finalized by the Teaching Practice
Office.
Experienced teachers in TP schools will be invited to act as Teaching Advisers to
provide students with guidance and supervision within the entire TP period.
Supervisory visits
z
z
z
At least four classroom visits will be conducted by TP Supervisors of the Faculty.

In each TP block, at least two classroom visits will be conducted by Teaching
Advisers of the TP schools.
An External Examiner will visit some of the students during the TP period for the
PGDE Programme quality assurance purpose.

In academic writing, including open-book assessment, all types of

properly acknowledged. All cases of failure to acknowledge, especially
where there appears to be the intention to mislead the reader about
the originality, would constitute plagiarism.

This section illustrates and explains cases for which source

material must be acknowledged. For the moment do not worry
about the citation style. The examples in this section are drawn

Appendix B
It is important to note that just (3) alone is NOT enough. In other

words, just listing the source in the bibliography is no defence against
a charge of plagiarism. The reason is that inclusion in the bibliography
only means that the item was consulted; it does not indicate that the
item was copied or used verbatim.
z
A direct quote must be acknowledged.

Karl Marx said "Religion is the opiate of the masses." [1]
http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/policy/academichonesty/p02.htm

Proper use of
online resources
Even a paraphrase must be acknowledged.

Religion has been likened to opium [1].
A citation should be given for any information that is not

obvious (i.e., that the author probably had to look up).
The population of Hong Kong in 2003 was 6.78 million [1]
and the per capita GDP was US$25,432 [2].
But if the information is generic and can be expected to be

known to the readers, then no citation is necessary.
The population of Hong Kong was nearly 7 million and the per
capita GDP is one of the highest in Asia.
However, precision is generally recommended in academic

writing.
In the same way, original work that is not universally known

should be cited.
Semiconductor triodes were invented by Bardeen [1].
But if the fact is very well known, then there is no need to cite
the source nobody would imagine that you claim originality.
Nuclear energy is based on the formula E = mc.
Suppose an original source A is quoted in B, and you only read

B. Then both the primary source A and the secondary source B
should be cited, to indicate honestly that you have not actually
read A. In so doing, you also absolve yourself of any
responsibility for the accuracy of the quote by B.
The GDP of Guangdong increased at 10.2% per annum [1].
[1]The Government of Guangdong, Guangdong Provincial
Government Annual Report 2000 (Guangdong Government
Press, Guangzhou, 2001), cited in A Chan, Economic
Development in China (Chinese University Press, Hong
Kong, 2003).
The same holds for sources for which you relied on a

translation, or for which the reader might have to rely on a
translation. In the following example, JETP (Journal of
Experimental and Theoretical Physics) is the English translation
of the Russian journal Zh. Eksp. Teor. Fiz.
The correction involves a regularized integral [1].

1. Verbatim use of source material

Original source (Example 1): Peter Berger, Invitation
to Sociology (London: Penguin, 1991), p 87
Where human beings live or work in compact
groups, in which they are personally known and to
which they are tied by feeling of personal loyalty
(the kind that sociologists call primary groups),
very potent and simultaneously very subtle
mechanisms of control are constantly brought to
bear upon the actual or potential deviant. These are
the mechanisms of persuasion, ridicule, gossip and
opprobrium.
Improper use (Example 1): Except for the first
sentence, the rest is a verbatim copy of the original,
without quotation marks and without
acknowledgement. This is a clear case of plagiarism.
Social members experience various modes of

control exerted over them. Where human beings

live or work in compact groups, in which they are
personally known and to which they are tied by
feeling of personal loyalty (the kind that sociologists
call primary groups), very potent and
simultaneously very subtle mechanisms of control
are constantly brought to bear upon the actual or
potential deviant. These are the mechanisms of
persuasion, ridicule, gossip and opprobrium.
Improper use (Example 1): The following extract,
again without quotation marks and without
acknowledgement, also constitutes plagiarism.
Where human beings live or work in primary
groups, very potent and subtle mechanisms of
control are brought to bear upon the deviant
members. These are the mechanisms of
persuasion, ridicule and gossip.
Proper use (Example 1): The material used word for
word should be enclosed in quotes, and the source
should be specified by a bibliographic reference such
as [1].
Social members experience various modes of
control exerted over them. Where human beings
live or work in compact groups, in which they are
personally known and to which they are tied by
feeling of personal loyalty (the kind that sociologists
call primary groups), very potent and
simultaneously very subtle mechanisms of control
are constantly brought to bear upon the actual or
potential deviant. These are the mechanisms of
persuasion, ridicule, gossip and opprobrium [1].
Proper use (Example 1): If only an extract is quoted,
the omitted portion should be indicated by ellipsis
(i.e., a series of dots). The material quoted should
still be enclosed in quotes, and the source should be
specified by a bibliographic reference such as [1].
Where human beings live or work in ... primary
groups, ... very potent and simultaneously very
subtle mechanisms of control are constantly
brought to bear upon the ... deviant. These are the
mechanisms of persuasion, ridicule, gossip and
opprobrium [1].

2. Paraphrase and translation

Original source (Example 1): Peter Berger, Invitation
to Sociology (London: Penguin, 1991), p 87
Where human beings live or work in compact
groups, in which they are personally known and to
which they are tied by feeling of personal loyalty
(the kind that sociologists call primary groups),
very potent and simultaneously very subtle
mechanisms of control are constantly brought to
bear upon the actual or potential deviant. These are
the mechanisms of persuasion, ridicule, gossip and
opprobrium.
Improper use (Example 1): In the following example,
the exact words are changed; even the sentence
structure is changed, but the sense of the original is
kept. This is called a paraphrase. If the original
source is not acknowledged, this still constitutes
plagiarism.
In primary groups, in which people knows each
other personally, deviants (actual or potential) are
restrained by delicate mechanisms of social control,
including persuasion, ridicule, gossip, opprobrium,
etc.
Improper use (Example 1) : In the following
example, the source is paraphrased and also
translated. If the original source is not
acknowledged, this still constitutes plagiarism.
Proper use (Example 1) : A paraphrase should be

indicated by a bibliographic reference such as [1],
but quotes are not required.
In primary groups, in which people knows each
other personally, deviants (actual and potential) are

3. Change of order and/or conversion

to/from point form
Suppose the source material is in point form.
Original source (Example 3): Anthony Giddens,
Sociology (Cambridge: Polity Press. 2nd ed., 1993) p
529-30
The European powers acquired colonies for a
number of reasons:
1. Colonial possessions added to the political
influence and power of the parent country and
provided sites for military bases.
2. Most Westerners also saw colonialism as a
civilizing enterprise, helping upgrade native peoples
from their "primitive" conditions ...
3. There was an important economic motive. From
the early years of Western expansion, food, raw
materials and other goods were taken from the
colonized areas to full western economic
development ...
Improper use (Example 3) : The following
paraphrase which alters the orders of the three
points constitutes plagiarism if the source is not
acknowledged.
2011/7/25
6 9
The European powers acquired colonies for

(1) economic expansion;
(2) exercise of political influence;
(3) civilization of the "native" people
Improper use (Example 3) : The following
paraphrase which converts the point form to running
text still constitutes plagiarism if the source is not
acknowledged.
The colonization of "primitive" societies by Europe
serves several purposes: economic expansion,
exercise of political influence and civilization of the
"native" peoples.
Back to top
4. Use of special terms or concepts

Original source (Example 4): Erving Goffman,
Asylums: Essays on the Social Situation of Mental
Patients and other Inmates. (1968, Harmondsworth,
Middlesex: Penguin), p 15-16
Every institution captures something of the time
and interest of its members and provides
something of a world for them; in brief, every
institution has encompassing tendencies. When we
review the different institutions in our Western
society, we find some that are encompassing to a
degree discontinuously greater than the ones next
in line. Their encompassing or total character is
symbolized by the barrier to social intercourse with
the outside and to departure that is often built right
into the physical plant, such as locked doors, high
walls, barbed wire, cliffs, water, forests, or moors.
These establishments I am calling total institutions
[italics original], and it is their general
characteristics I want to explore.
Improper use (Example 4): The following uses the
special term "total institutions" without attribution,
and constitutes plagiarism if the source is not
acknowledged.
Hospitals are total institutions, the public access to
which is strictly denied.
Proper use (Example 4): The special term should be
acknowledged by naming the original author, adding
2011/7/25
7 9
quotation marks and a bibliographic reference such

as [1].
Hospitals are what Goffman calls "total institutions",
which is "symbolized by the barrier to social
intercourse with the outside" [1].
Proper use (Example 4): Another legitimate form
could be as follows.
Hospitals are, in Goffman's famous term, total
institutions, the public access to which is strictly
denied [1].
Back to top
5. Attribution of key concepts

Original source (Example 5): Lau, Siu-kai. Society
and Politics in Hong Kong. (1982, Hong Kong: The
Chinese University Press).
(The original source first introduced some key
concepts.)
Improper use (Example 5): The following paragraph
summarizes the key concepts from the original
source, but gives the impression that the writer
developed these concepts. This constitutes
plagiarism.
Hong Kong people can meet their economic needs
mainly through supports from their familial groups.
As such, they have no needs to press the
government for provision of social welfare, and this
accounts for the political apathy of Hong Kong
people and thereby the political stability of Hong
Kong.
Proper use (Example 5): There should be an
indication that the key concepts are taken from the
original source.
According to Lau [1], Hong Kong people can meet
their economic needs mainly through supports from
their familial groups. As such, they have no needs
to press the government for provision of social
welfare, and their accounts for the political apathy
of Hong Kong people and thereby the political
stability of Hong Kong.

Proper use (Example 5): Here is another legitimate

form; even though the author is not named in the
text, the bibliographical reference already indicates
that the idea is taken from somewhere else.
Hong Kong people can meet their economic needs
mainly through supports from their familial groups.
As such, they have no needs to press the
government for provision of social welfare, and
their accounts for the political apathy of Hong Kong
people and thereby the political stability of Hong
Kong [1].

6. Citing facts or research findings of others

Proper use (Example 6): When facts are cited (which
are not obvious), the source should be indicated.
A total of 58 agreements guaranteeing paid
holidays had been signed by the unions in Britain in
1920. By the mid-20's there were 16-17 percent of
the labour-force who received paid holidays [1].
Original source (Example 7): Thomas T. P. Wong and
Lui Tai-lok. From One Brand of Politics to One Brand
of Political Culture. Hong Kong: occasional paper no.
10. (1992, Hong Kong Institute of Asia-Pacific
Studies, Chinese University of Hong Kong). p 26
When asked if they feel themselves belonging to a
class, 79% of our respondents said 'yes'; 19 said
'no', and only 2% answered 'don't know'.
Proper use (Example 7): The source should be given
when this research finding is cited.
Wong and Lui [1] demonstrate that nearly 80% of
their respondents feel themselves belonging to a
class.
Proper use (Example 8): Even if the research finding
does not involve quantitative data, the source should
be acknowledged.
In countries where the religiously orthodox differ
from modernists in their economic beliefs, the
orthodox are far more likely to be to the left of
modernists than to be right [1].

7. Data for tables and graphs

When a table or a graph contains data that are not
collected by the writer himself/herself, the source must be
given.
Proper use (Example 9):
Table 2.6. Growth in the value of world exports by
major product groups, 1985-93.
[table]
Source: Ref [1].
Proper use (Example 10):
