Jean Piaget was a Swiss psychologist who developed a theory of cognitive development with four stages. The stages are the sensorimotor stage from birth to age 2 where infants learn through senses and actions, the preoperational stage from ages 2 to 7 where symbolic thought and language develop, the concrete operational stage from ages 7 to 11 where logical and organized thought of concrete ideas occurs, and the formal operational stage from age 12 on where abstract reasoning emerges. Piaget's stages describe how children's cognitive abilities progress as they interact with the world.

Play, create and learn: What matters most for five-year-olds?EduSkills OECD
The OECD International Early Learning and Child Well-being Study asked over 4 500 five-year-olds what they liked best about their kindergarten or school.
Almost all children gave very specific answers, and many explained the reasoning behind their views.
Andreas Schleicher explores what we can learn from these children and how this can help education systems provide the best possible early learning environments.
Key questions we will address are:
-Why should education leaders and practitioners listen to children’s views, including children in the early years?
-What is the role of play in early cognitive and social-emotional development?
-Is there a trade-off between intentional teaching and learning, and unstructured play?

This study examines the impact of misconceptions about the K-12 curriculum on grade 10 students' choices of senior high school strands. It finds that the most common misconceptions are that 10 years of study is enough, the K-12 system does not prepare students for college, and the ABM strand is difficult due to mathematics. These misconceptions confuse and doubt students, making strand choices difficult. The study suggests addressing this issue by spreading awareness about the misconceptions.
PERCEIVED MEASURES FOR EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION OF UNIVERSAL BASIC EDUCATION ...Yusuf Suleiman, PhD
This document discusses perceived measures for effective implementation of the Universal Basic Education (UBE) programme in primary and junior secondary schools in Delta State, Nigeria. It begins with an introduction to UBE and its objectives of providing free and compulsory education. Challenges to implementation are then examined through a literature review and interviews with school administrators. Key challenges identified include poor funding, inadequate infrastructure, and lack of qualified teachers. Recommendations to address these challenges include increasing education budget allocation, improving facilities and teacher recruitment, and reducing class sizes. The study concludes that while UBE aims to provide universal access to education, many objectives remain unachieved in Delta State due to implementation challenges.

- The questionnaire looked at students' lives, preferences, challenges with English, feelings in class, and free time activities. It found that students are motivated but distracted by phones, and need more independent work.
- The top activities students found fun for learning English were videos and movies. Most students learn English outside of class, and feel their opinions are respected, though some have trouble expressing themselves.

Close to seven in 10 Hong Kong undergraduates show symptoms of depression while more
than half suffer from anxiety, a study has found. Those at risk of depression and anxiety
tended to be disadvantaged and faced discrimination, and also found their studies difficult.
Some 75 Hongkongers aged between 15-24 chose to end their lives in 2016, according to the
Hong Kong Jockey Club Centre for Suicide Research and Prevention. Compared to 2014 and
2015, the suicide rate in 2016 has slightly increased. Ye Zhaohui, a professor at the
University of Hong Kong who specializes in suicide prevention, said that the causes of
suicide among young people are comprehensive, including academic pressure,
weak family support systems, sense of despair, etc.
““Young people’s lives in Hong
Kong are not easy. They do not
have comfortable lives in this
affluent society, and they each
bear their own pressure,””
Wan Lap-man
(social worker)
01 PROJECT BRIEF/ TOPIC ISSUES
Why are Hong Kong students
stressed?
Family expectations
-Parents recognize children's performance
-Unexpectedly bring stress
Social culture
-"Achievement First"
-The importance of outstanding "scores“
One way out
-Inadequate recognition of vocational
education in Hong Kong
-Is it necessary to enter university?
Are Hong Kong students happy?
The overall happiness index of Hong Kong school children has risen from last year, hitting a
five-year high, with a perfect score of 10, with an overall score of 6.81, an increase of 0.08
from last year. However, the happiness index of students aged 15 to 18 fell by nearly 5%
year-on-year, and it is estimated that academic pressure has the greatest
impact.
Zhuhai College's Center for Public Opinion and Poll Research conducted a survey on the
"Happiness Index of Hong Kong Schoolchildren for the 2018/19 School Year" and interviewed
more than 4,800 elementary and middle school students using a questionnaire. The students
interviewed indicated that they were very unhappy. Among them, the highest percentage of
secondary three students reported being very unhappy, recording 6.24%. The survey also
found that the older the students, the lower the family happiness index.
Major Academic Pressure
During the period from September to
October this year, the Youth Association
Healthy Thinking Center interviewed 2,685
S1 to S6 students from 14 different middle
schools in the form of a convenient sample
self-filled index. "Quiz / Examination"
(53.6%), "Unsatisfactory results"
(51.9%) and "Reduction in rest time"
(49.9%). As a result, nearly a quarter (24%)
said that they felt severely because of
"social tension"; " Conflicts among peers due
to different opinions on social events (9.2%)
and "cold / cited / bullyed by classmates"
(8.3%) have also become one of the sources
of stress for some classmates.
5. 01 PROJECT BRIEF/ TOPIC ISSUES
According to the World Happiness Report 2019, Finland ranks first among 156 countries and territories
worldwide, while Hong Kong ranks 76th.
Compare with the education Finland and Hong Kong, Finnish students have an average of about 10 to 12.5
hours per week to encourage students to participate in multiple after-school activities. Hong Kong
kindergarten, elementary and secondary students spend an average of 62.2 hours per week, and secondary
school students reach 76.5 hours
Finnish students do not need to take standardized tests before the age of 16. Educational authorities believe
that frequent tests will cause teachers to attach too much importance to the training and recitation of
subjects, and less emphasis on understanding. In Hong Kong, students are already facing the TSA test in the
third grade of primary school to assess the students' basic ability levels in Chinese, English and Mathematics at
the end of the first to third study stages.
Finland’s Education
• No Standardized Testing
• Collaboration, Not Competition
• Creating a Healthy Learning Environment
• Less Stress
• Learning Through Play
AIM
Designing an experience center to allows student to self
experience, self discover and self explore. Through
different zone, learning through play, so that students
increase their interest in learning, thereby reducing the
stress of learning.
OBJECTIVE
Walking into different zone, to experiences, to
challenges, to attempts, to find how to make the
decision to complete the journey.

CASE STUDY
6. 01 PROJECT BRIEF/ TOPIC ISSUES
The Government strives to nurture the youths and support them in fully realising
their potential. However, following the decline of our birth rate in recent years,
student recruits to uniformed groups are decreasing in number. The Government
encourage the uniformed groups to strengthen their co-operation with schools so as
to attract more youth participants. They hope the young people taking part in more
extra-curricular activities, which are certainly good for their physical and mental
well-being. Step outside the classroom to broaden the vision and knowledge by
joining leadership training and outdoor expeditions or the like. They are all good for
enhancing self-confidence, leadership skills and sense of responsibility, hence the
development of positive values and abilities to contribute to society.
Some scouts pointed out that in the face of pressure from family, work and life,
they felt very embarrassed. He also believes that the Scout decompressed him,
and that the sense of satisfaction and mission he received in engaging in Scout
activities can support him to continue to face pressure from all sides.
