CCFS Conference Grant Awardee Scoops Young Scholar Award at PECERA2024-Tokyo
Ms. Zeng Xinying, EdUHK PhD student and awardee of the Centre’s Simon K.Y. Lee Foundation Early Childhood Education Award for Overseas Conference, received the Young Scholar Award at the annual conference of the Pacific Early Childhood Education Research Association (PECERA), 2-4 August 2024 at Tokyo. This prestigious award acknowledges outstanding research by postgraduate students and early career scholars in the field of early childhood education.
Zeng’s paper was titled “Family Socioeconomic Status Predicts Child Executive Functions: Child Routines as a Mediator”. It explores how child routines mediate the link between family socioeconomic status (SES) and executive functions (EFs). Her research contributes to the design and implementation of targeted interventions that can effectively support EFs development in children from low SES families.
Zeng shared her winning words in ecstasy, “The PECERA Annual Conference 2024 was a wonderful experience. I was delighted to present two talks, which allowed me to share and discuss our latest findings with experts in early childhood education. I received invaluable feedback on my research and learned from many insightful studies. I am deeply honored to receive the Young Scholar Award, which serves as both recognition and encouragement. My sincere gratitude goes to my supervisor, Dr. Eva Lau, my team, and the Simon K.Y. Lee Foundation, as well as the Centre for Child and Family Science (CCFS) at The Education University of Hong Kong for their support in enabling my attendance at this conference.”
This conference trip received financial support from the Simon K.Y. Lee Foundation Early Childhood Education Award for Overseas Conference. The Award aims at building and strengthening the research capacity of EdUHK students in the field of early childhood education. It supports doctoral students to present their research findings at overseas conferences, at a maximum amount of HK$10,000 for each awardee.
Congratulations to Zeng on her remarkable achievement. We wish her all the best with her study and future endeavors!
2024 PECERA conference
Professor Kevin Chung, CCFS Director and Principal Investigator of the 3Es project, was invited to present at the annual conference of the Pacific Early Childhood Education Research Association (PECERA), 2-4 August 2024. His presentation topic is “Supporting children and families with diverse needs: What do we know and what can we do?”
Abstract: It is vital to embrace diversity and promote inclusion—especially in the early years—as a means to create a positive environment that supports all children and all families, regardless of their sociocultural backgrounds and existing levels of competency. The million-dollar question, however, is how one may use theory and research to inform school activities and parenting practices. In this symposium, Kevin will first discuss the larger roles of cultural and psychological factors in understanding individual differences among young children with diverse needs. Kevin will then focus on multifaceted processes that may shape children’s learning and development in school and at home. Kevin will eventually provide examples of how researchers and practitioners may target school and family processes to catalyse systemic changes. These changes may engage teachers and parents in collaborative efforts to help children deal with challenges and maximise their potential.
Professor Kevin Chung elected President of ARWA
Professor Chung Kevin Kien Hoa, Director of the Centre for Child and Family Science, was elected President of the Association for Reading and Writing in Asia (ARWA) for a three-year term running to end-2026.
ARWA was founded in February 2016. It is relentlessly committed to sharing the science of learning, emphasizing studying literacy development and impairment and expert linguistic processes across languages and scripts. ARWA is also dedicated to disseminating evidence-based practices among practitioners and policy-makers, helping them promote the language and literacy development of learners from diverse backgrounds, making a real difference to people.
Professor Chung will work with the ARWA members to live the mission. For more information about ARWA, please visit: https://www.arwasia.org.

《支援兒童及青少年健康成長》教育短片
本中心獲教育及人類發展學院撥款製作一輯教育短片，走訪不同界別的專業人士及家長，淺談如何支持和引導孩子及青少年健康成長。我們希冀為家長匯集「秘訣」，在教養的過程中得到實質的幫助，並從中紓解育兒的壓力。特別鳴謝各位受訪者及參與拍攝的同工、受訪者家人。
構思·採訪·後期製作顧問：何昭儀、吳梓謙、張宗澤
《支援兒童及青少年健康成長》教育短片簡介
戴公主女士(教育心理學家)
以孩子為本，以自身為榜樣
要加強小朋友的學習動機和成效，可從他們的興趣入手，寓教於樂，並在活動過程中不時了解孩子的學習進度和能力，調整難度和要求，從而提升孩子的解難能力。家長應積極聆聽，了解小朋友情緒變化的緣由，及注意身教的重要性。
張溢明先生(香港心理學會教育心理學部主席)
認知重估，改變想法，遇挫不撓
我們可以使用ABCD方法來處理壓力問題（察覺壓力情緒出現 => 調節呼吸及心情步伐 => 調整想法及思考模式 => 改動日常生活習慣），同時可從幼兒階段幫助孩子建立良好的情緒社交發展，為日後成長和學習奠定良好基礎和靈活的能力。
吳浩希先生(家福會青少年服務高級經理)
利用網絡文化提升親子關係
家長應以開放、開明的態度與孩子溝通，並嘗試了解網絡文化對於青少年的意義，從而走入孩子的世界。建議家長採用有傾有講的管教模式推展和諧的家庭關係，在提升自我的管教自信後，會更易於開放價值觀、更容易與子女建立良好的關係。
Stella女士(心靈藝術中心創辦人)
欣賞孩子每一個小進步，尋找Me Time紓緩壓力
家長應了解小朋友行為的背後成因，並控制自己的情緒，而後才可好好管教孩子。家長可以藝術作為了解小朋友內心世界的工具，並予孩子自由發揮的空間，欣賞他們的每一個小進步。而家長擁有足夠的Me Time，有助紓壓及管教小朋友。
葉信蘭 與 Hannah (土生土長的非華語學生)
掌握語言技巧，跨越學習和生活障礙
兩位南亞裔同學雖在港土生土長，但擁有與主流不同的文化背景和語言。學習中文有助這些非華語學生連繫社會中不同範疇的「主流」，找到自信和建立正向心態。她們不但融入社群、提升生活幸福感 ，更渴望以自身經歷回饋社會 。
【教育動畫】童行抗壓
近年香港學童的壓力水平及精神健康狀況備受關注，教育局及衛生署在學校推動不同的精神健康運動，以促進兒童及青少年的精神健康。教育局採用全校參與模式，從「普及性」、「選擇性」及「針對性」三個層面促進學童的精神健康發展。其中在「普及性」層面，相關工作旨在增強學生的抗逆力及解難能力，以提升學童在面對壓力和挑戰時，能夠有更強大的精神健康素養和能力去面對。
根據美國哈佛大學 Center on the Developing Child 的建議，要促使成長中的學童有更正面的發展成果，照顧者除了為孩子從源頭減少壓力因素，還需要加強孩子的人際關係網絡，以及強化孩子個人本身面對壓力的技巧。有見學童的需要，香港心理學會教育心理學部承蒙香港教育大學兒童與家庭科學中心的支持，製作一連四集、以學校為本小故事的教育短片，供教育心理學家、學校輔導人員、老師、甚至家長，在「普及性」的精神健康推廣層面應用。四集短片的焦點為：
Awareness：首先我們將焦點放在個人對壓力的察覺上，雖然壓力人人有，但未必所有人、尤其是學童會明白察覺壓力所帶來的不同徵狀或身體反應；
Breathing：明白如何察覺和辨識壓力的徵狀後，第二集的焦點在如何引導學童在壓力下平靜自己，影片中觀眾會學習到透過呼吸方法，調節自己的心跳和其他身體反應，好讓自己感到壓力即時的舒緩；
Cognition changes：當身體的壓力感受得到即時的舒緩後，要長遠而有效地調節對壓力的感覺，我們在第三及第四集為學童介紹不同的思想方法或陷阱，以及如何透過調節想法來處理壓力感覺；
Daily habits：除了四集短片，我們還製作小冊子，向大家介紹如何透過日常的生活行為，以調節壓力到恰到好處的日常生活水平。
而每一集完結後，家長及支援人員不妨跟孩子一同討論及完成本小冊子內的跟進練習，以鞏固從影片中學到的知識和技巧。
被喻為壓力理論 (stress theory) 之父的 Hans Selye (1907-1982) 早就指出：”It’s not stress that kills us; it is our reaction to it.”，希望本系到的短片和練習，能夠協助學童對更有效地回應壓力，精神狀態更健康！
《童行抗壓》心理教育影片
EP1 壓力反應知多啲
雖然壓力人人有，但未必所有人、尤其是學童會明白察覺壓力所帶來的不同症狀或身體反應。因此，第一集我們將焦點放在個人對壓力的察覺上。
EP2 呼吸放鬆法
明白如何察覺和辨識壓力的徵狀後，第二集的焦點在如何引導學童在壓力下平靜自己，影片中觀眾會學習到透過呼吸方法，調節自己的心跳和其他身體反應，好讓自己感到壓力即時的舒緩。
EP3 唔好跌落「思想坑渠」 (上)
當身體的壓力感受得到即時的舒緩後，要長遠而有效地調節對壓力的感覺，我們在第三集為學童介紹不同的思想方法或陷阱，以及如何透過調節想法來處理壓力感覺。
EP4 唔好跌落「思想坑渠」 (下)
延續第三集，我們繼續為學童介紹如何透過調節想法來處理壓力感覺。
「3Es情+社同行計劃」課程介紹影片
「3Es情+社同行計劃」為一套以實證為本、分層支援教學模式的課程，目的在於提升本地幼兒的情緒社交能力。建基於本地和外國研究，本計劃發展出一份能量度幼兒情緒社交能力的評估工具，並建立一系列的幼稚園課堂教案及培訓手冊等供幼稚園業界應用。本計劃推行成效顯著，研究數據顯示有參與本計劃幼稚園的學生，除了情緒社交能力有明顯進步外，其早期學習能力也得到顯著提升，更有效地裝備幼兒升學。
The 3Es project seeks to develop an evidence-based, tiered intervention curriculum that promotes the socioemotional competence of kindergarten children in Hong Kong. Expanding on both local and international research, the project has developed an assessment tool that evaluates children’s socioemotional competence and a series of teaching and training materials that enhances children’s social and emotional skills and, consequentially, school readiness and academic abilities. The project has achieved many good outcomes making a real difference in the field of early childhood education.
