教區學校代表赴港參與「價值教育校本推展模式工作坊」

Macao Education Representatives Attended Value Education Workshop in Hong Kong

教區天主教教育委員會於2024年1月26日組織了澳門教區屬下學校負責訓輔導及德育工作的中高層代表赴港參與香港天主教教育事務處轄下的宗教及道德教育組舉辦的「價值教育校本推展模式工作坊」，了解香港的天主教學校如何在價值教育範疇上有效統整和培育天主教教區、教育局、辦學團體和法團校董會等持份者重視的價值觀及態度，從而構建校本推展模式。

On 26 January 2024, the Diocesan Catholic Education Commission (Comissão Diocesana da Educação Católica, CDEC) co-ordinated representatives from local Diocesan Schools responsible for guidance, counseling, and moral education to attend the "Value Education School-Based Promotion Model Workshop" in Hong Kong. This workshop was held by the Religious and Moral Education Section (RMES) under the Catholic Education Office of Hong Kong to provide guidance on effectively integrating and cultivating values and attitudes that are important to stakeholders including Catholic Diocese, Education Bureau, school sponsoring bodies, and incorporated management committees, thereby constructing a school-based promotion model.

「價值教育校本推展模式工作坊」為宗教及道德教育組推出的2023/2024學年教師專業發展活動其中一項培訓，對象為香港天主教學校專責學務及學生培育的副校長及協助推動價值教育的核心教師，是次於1月26日假石硤尾聖方濟愛德小學禮堂舉行的場次特別獲宗教及道德教育組陳乃國博士及組員安排澳門教區教育代表參加，共同在價值教育方面進行學習交流。為期一整天的工作坊由六個講座、兩節學校分享、以及兩節小組討論組成，將價值教育校本框架的建立以至推展的過程劃分成八步，教授具體在校內實行的方式，再配以天主教南華中學和天主教善導小學已成功實踐的校例，分享中學及小學在實行八步過程的注意事項和點滴。

The workshop is one of the professional development activities for Hong Kong teachers in the 2023/2024 academic year created by the RMES. The session held at the Auditorium of St. Francis of Assisi's Caritas School in Shek Kip Mei was specially arranged by Dr. Francis CHAN Nai-kwok and his fellow members for the participation of educational representatives from the Macau Diocese. It was a day-long event consisting of six lectures, two school sharing sessions, and two group discussions. The workshop outlined the process of establishing and promoting a school-based value education framework into eight steps, teaching specific implementation methods, supplemented by successful examples from the Nam Wah Catholic Secondary School and the Good Counsel Catholic Primary School. It shared the considerations and details for implementing the eight-step process in both middle and primary schools.

為推動香港天主教學校的價值教育，宗教及道德教育組近年創建出「5A」工程，第一個「A」(Attitude)提醒學校在傳授知識技能以外，亦必須培育學生重視普世價值：正面積極的價值觀和態度；第二個「+A」則指出各科組老師都應善用本科專長加入價值觀和態度的培育，提供價值行為的理據解說；第三個「A^中」鼓勵學校引用中國傳統文化的倫理道德，對照印證天主教的價值觀，相得益彰的同時更脗合教會尊重本地文化的福傳取向；第四個「A⁺」在價值教育上加上「十字架」，代表學校應在教導普世價值時加入最美好的人生觀：以耶穌的教導、基督徙的觀點和角度演繹並豐富價值觀，並以此「A⁺」作為天主教學校的標記；而第五個「A^A」(All-Dimensional)為價值教育的全方位實行模式，著眼全校整體規劃，強調校方、家長、校友等所有持份者的參與，亦乃是次工作坊分享之「八步推展過程」的基礎：先透過「序列所有持份者期望的學生特質」、「統整校本畢業生特質」、「整理校本美德及品格強項」、「設計校本價值理據及行動指標」四步進行規劃並建立校本價值框架，再依循「規劃科、組課程及活動」、「教學實施」、「檢討」、「調整計劃」的次序全校實行。

To promote value education in Hong Kong Catholic schools, the RMES recently developed the "5A" initiative. The first 'A' (Attitude) reminds schools that, in addition to imparting knowledge and skills, they must also foster students' appreciation of universal values: positive and proactive attitudes and perspectives. The second '+A' suggests that teachers of all subjects should utilise their expertise to incorporate values and attitudes, adding rationale and explanations for value-based behaviours. The third 'A^C' encourages schools to draw upon Chinese traditional cultural ethics and morals, aligning and complementing them with Catholic values, while respecting the Church's evangelistic approach that honours local culture. The fourth 'A⁺' adds a 'Holy Cross' to value education, representing the incorporation of the finest perspective on life: interpreting and enriching values through the teachings and viewpoints of Jesus Christ, marking this 'A⁺' as a signature of Catholic schools. The fifth 'A^A' (All-Dimensional) represents a comprehensive implementation model of value education, focusing on whole-school planning and emphasising participation from all stakeholders including school authorities, parents, and alumni. This forms the basis of the 'eight-step promotion process' shared at the workshop: starting with seeking 'preferred attributes by stakeholders', 'school-based preferred attributes in graduates', 'school-based virtues and character strengths', 'designating virtue reasoning and virtue practice', followed by 'subject planning’, ' implementation', 'evaluation', and 'revision' for whole-school involvement.

了解校本推展模式的規劃過程及實例施行成果後，教區天主教教育委員會辦事處主任陳庭鋒博士在交流分享時特別感謝陳乃國博士及組員招待澳門代表參與工作坊，亦讚賞宗教及道德教育組所發展出能引導學校內化糅合普世價值、中華文化、以及天主教教義校本核心價值的具體步驟，其中以校本畢業生特質為出發點延伸反思對各級學生的道德培育，對澳門的學校尤其具啟發性。其後陳庭鋒博士亦分享了一些澳門教區學校在價值培育的方法，以及澳門整體在價值教育上的獨有難處，最後亦寄望澳門代表團能獲裨益，從而在各自的學校進一步推展價值教育。

Dr. Stephen Chan Teng-Fong, Director of the Office of the CDEC, particularly thanked Dr. Francis Chan and his members for inviting the Macau representatives to the workshop. After understanding the planning process and practical implementation outcomes of the school-based promotion model, he expressed appreciation concerning the outlined steps that guide schools to internalise and integrate universal values, Chinese culture, and major Catholic doctrines. Through the consideration of school-based graduate qualities, this approach can guide schools to reflect on their moral education at all levels and is particularly inspiring for schools in Macao. Dr. Stephen Chan went on to share some practices on value cultivation in Macao Diocesan schools, as well as the unique challenges faced by Macao schools in value education. Finally, he expressed hope that the Macao delegation would benefit from the workshop and further promote value education in their respective schools.

澳門出席參與是次工作坊的人員包括聖德蘭學校高錦棠副校長；聖若瑟教區中學學生發展處蘇栢林主任；聖若瑟教區中學第五校培育組梁洪敏主任；聖保祿學校學生事務部林秀蘭主任等。
