My words in green for discussion.
雖然香港新高中考試 - HK Diploma of Secondary Education(HKDSE) - 仲未出籠, 不過應該冇IBD咁demanding既。
新高中課程及評估指引
3/2007 已出了定稿。大家可慢慢研究
http://www.edb.gov.hk/index.aspx?langno=2&nodeID=5962
IBD 要讀6科 - First language, Second Language, Experimental Science, Humanities, Mathematics and 6th Suject - may be Arts, Music or one additonal Language/Science/Humanities;
新高中課程: 除了中國語文、英國語文、數學及通識教育四個核心(cores)科目外,學生還可因應興趣,從二十個選修科目及應用學習課程中,選修兩至三科。i.e. can take 6-7 subjects, but most universities only consider 5-6 including the 4 cores
仲有Theory of Knowledge(TOK) - 類似哲學課, Extended Essay(EE) - 寫一篇4000字既原創性論文, 最後仲有Creativity, Action & Service(CAS)。
新課程並要求學生體驗「其他學習經歷」,包括德育及公民教育、體育、藝術教育與社會服務等,以擴闊其視野。Very similar to CAS of IB
Seems that the only significant difference between the 2 is the extended essay of IB. Am I right?
通常3科Higher Level, 3科Standard Level。Higher Level 科程度會好高, 英文要分析莎仕比亞既作品; Science 同 Maths 都比香港課程深, Science 都要寫essay呀,Standard Level 就會淺D。不過都要英文文學分析既, 死末。
I don’t think "英文要分析莎仕比亞既作品" = difficult. Those who study Eng Lit. in secondary school all do that. This is not that foreign to us, even the Eng of IB include Eng Lit. elements.
Hong Kong syllabus of Maths and Science, esp. A-level, is globally well known as difficult. Our students are also known to be strong in Maths and Science. IB more difficult? 唔係好信。
I guess an original extended essay is similar to a thesis. A 4000 words thesis, at secondary level, is nothing. Please don’t take that I am proud or 口大大。 I say so is just based on my understanding on requirement of thesis at university. Don’t be misunderstood that a thesis =
a piece of writing with your views from the first word to the last. A thesis should noramlly include several parts, such as:
- stating the objective of the study and review
- reporting existing knowledge on the subject matter (literature review)
- presenting new views and knowledge, including the methodology of your study (e.g. the method and results of experiment, how to integrate different knowledge, how to set up questionnaires and result of questionnaires, etc.)
- discuss the result, implications and applications
- conclusion
Therefore, of course, a thesis is not a writing that you can do within a few hours without any preparation. However, with good preparation ( adequate reading and gathering of information), the writing will be a small part of the job. I guess you probably need to consider, with a subject matter really interests your kid, may be 4000 words are not enough. ...but of course, the quality of a thesis has nothing to do with it's length.
