Project
Climate change and agrarian-nomadic migration across the Great Wall during the Little Ice Age
This project will examine agrarian-nomadic migration across the Great Wall in response to climate change during the Little Ice Age (LIA, 1400-1900AD), especially at its three cold troughs (1430-1460AD, 1630-1660AD, and 1830-1860AD).
Project Start Year: 2022, Principal Investigator(s): PEI, Qing 裴卿
 
Climate Change and Northerly Agriculturalists’ Migration in South China During Ming and Qing Dynasties
To empirically investigate long-term association between climate change and northerly agriculturalists’ migration in south China during Ming and Qing Dynasties. To improve the philosophical basis of public awareness and policy making to address uncertain impacts of future climate change.

Climate Change, Epidemics, and Famines in Historical China During Past 1000 Years
This project will quantitatively prove and evaluate the closeness of linkage between climate change and health conditions at both national and regional scales in historical China. The associated findings are vital as the reference to adapt and mitigate the impacts of climate change. In this regard, this project is not only of academic interest but also of practical value.

Cultivating Students’ Critical Thinking and Creativity through Web-based and Classroom-based Inquiry
Critical thinking and creativity are long-standing objectives in EdUHK strategic plans and within her generic intended learning outcomes (GILOs). Given considerable uncertainty existing in the process of conducting inquiry, students are required to make their own decisions in every stage of doing it, which intrinsically involves the application and development of both creative and critical thinking that are described as the “heartbeat” of inquiry. Inquiry learning was originally adopted in the school classrooms, and recent years witness increasing advocation of it at the university level. This project intends to make use of both Web-based and classroom-based inquiry to facilitate EdUHK students’ development in high-order thinking. 9 sets of Web-based or classroom-based inquiry activities will be developed, with each for an experimental course. The project will follow the paradigm of practitioner research, including two cycles of implementation. The development of students’ critical thinking and creativity will be assessed through matured instruments in the pre and post-tests, interviews with students, and process data generated in the learning process. This project will be a pioneering effort to systematically implement inquiry learning at the university level in the Eastern world. Its innovation is also reflected in the inclusion of both Web-based and classroom-based inquiry.

Assessing the Efficacy of Augmented Reality (AR) Sandbox in Secondary Geography Education in Hong Kong
This research seeks for an evidence-based investigation on the effectiveness of AR Sandbox on geographical education, relating to teaching of topics on both physical and human geography. Students from secondary schools would be invited to experience lessons specifically designed using AR Sandbox. Pre- and post-test evaluation on students' learning outcomes, and lesson observations would be administered to assess the effectiveness of this technology on learning geography.
