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 Studentsarerequiredtocompletea10-weekTPwithinthestudyperiod.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: Briefing sessions Pre-TP school visit Review sessions Professional talks (optional) 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 Each student will be assigned to a practicum school by the Faculty.

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.

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 from different disciplines, and therefore adopt various styles. The next section explains how the acknowledgement can be presented.A simple account is given here, and more detailed guidelines and examples are given in Appendix A and Appendix BFor other reference styles see the next section. Here we give examples of what must be acknowledged. In general, there shall be three elements to a citation or acknowledgement. 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 theitem was copied or used verbatim. A direct quote must be acknowledged. (1) Setting the relevant text apart by quotation marks, or in some cases by using a separate indented paragraph. (This is not needed if the text is not a verbatim quote but a paraphrase.) (2) A reference to the original source. For the moment, this will be indicated by a numeral such as [1], which indicates that the source is to be given in the reference list. Other sytles of citation are of course allowed. Please refer to Appendix B for citations from online resources. (3) A bibliography, giving the list of references. This is usually given at the end of the article/paper, but may sometimes be given at the end of each page. Karl Marx said "Religion is the opiate of the masses." [1] 1 3 Proper use of source material2011/7/25 http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/policy/academichonesty/p02.htmProper use of online resources Even a paraphrase must be acknowledged. A citation should be given for any information that is not obvious (i.e., that the author probably had to look up). But if the information is generic and can be expected to be known to the readers, then no citation is necessary. However, precision is generally recommended in academic writing. In the same way, original work that is not universally known should be cited. But if the fact is very well known, then there is no need to cite the source nobody would imagine that you claim originality. 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 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. Religion has been likened to opium [1].The population of Hong Kong in 2003 was 6.78 million [1] and the per capita GDP was US$25,432 [2].The population of Hong Kong was nearly 7 million and the per capita GDP is one of the highest in Asia. Semiconductor triodes were invented by Bardeen [1].Nuclear energy is based on the formula E = mc.The GDP of Guangdong increased at 10.2% per annum [1].

See http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/soc/citation.pdf Mild cases of failure to acknowledge would be regarded as poor academic writing. Serious cases of failure to acknowledge, especially where there appears to be the intention to mislead the reader, would constitute plagiarism. 1. Verbatim use of source material2. Paraphrase and translation3. Change of order and/or conversion to/from point form4. Use of special terms or concepts5. Attribution of key concepts6. Citing facts or research findings of others7. Data for tables and graphs

1. Verbatim use of source material Original source (Example 1): Peter Berger, Invitation to Sociology (London: Penguin, 1991), p 87 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. 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.Social members experience various modes of 1 9 Detailed guidelines on proper use of source material2011/7/25 http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/policy/academichonesty/p02a.htmProper use of online resources Improper use (Example 1): The following extract, again without quotation marks and without acknowledgement, also constitutes plagiarism. 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]. 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]. (2: ( 1986), p. 28 control exerted over them.

2. Paraphrase and translation Original source (Example 1): Peter Berger, Invitation to Sociology (London: Penguin, 1991), p 87 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. 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. (2: ( 1986), p. 28 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.

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 Improper use (Example 3) : The following paraphrase which alters the orders of the three points constitutes plagiarism if the source is not acknowledged. 1The 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 ... 5 9 Detailed guidelines on proper use of source material2011/7/25 http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/policy/academichonesty/p02a.htm Improper use (Example 3) : The following paraphrase which converts the point form to running text still constitutes plagiarism if the source is not acknowledged. 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 Improper use (Example 4): The following uses the special term "total institutions" without attribution, and constitutes plagiarism if the source is not acknowledged. Proper use (Example 4): The special term should be acknowledged by naming the original author, adding The European powers acquired colonies for(1) economic expansion;(2) exercise of political influence;(3) civilization of the "native" peopleThe colonization of "primitive" societies by Europe serves several purposes: economic expansion, exercise of political influence and civilization of the "native" peoples.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.Hospitals are total institutions, the public access to which is strictly denied. 6 9 Detailed guidelines on proper use of source material2011/7/25 http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/policy/academichonesty/p02a.htmquotation marks and a bibliographic reference such as [1]. Proper use (Example 4): Another legitimate form could be as follows. 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). 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. Proper use (Example 5): There should be an indication that the key concepts are taken from the original source. Hospitals are what Goffman calls "total institutions",which is "symbolized by the barrier to social intercourse with the outside" [1].Hospitals are, in Goffman's famous term, total institutions, the public access to which is strictly denied [1].(The original source first introduced some key concepts.)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.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. 7 9 Detailed guidelines on proper use of source material2011/7/25 http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/policy/academichonesty/p02a.htmProper 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. Back to top

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. Original source (Example 7): Thomas T. P. Wong andLui 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 Proper use (Example 7): The source should be given when this research finding is cited. Proper use (Example 8): Even if the research finding does not involve quantitative data, the source should be acknowledged. 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].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].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'.Wong and Lui [1] demonstrate that nearly 80% of their respondents feel themselves belonging to a class.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]. 8 9 Detailed guidelines on proper use of source material2011/7/25 http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/policy/academichonesty/p02a.htm Back to top 7.
