Enhancing Students' Personal and Psychosocial Development with Self-learning Kit: A Positive Education Approach
This project aims at developing a self-learning kit on personal and psychosocial development for students’ preparation of their Field Experience (FE) and internships. Four aspects in personal development are identified in particular which are emotional management, social relationships and communication, leadership, and self-understanding and self-esteem, according to the feedback received from internship providers, teachers and students. The learning kit will be designed taking into account the feedback collected from the collaborating partners who offer fieldwork experience placements and internship opportunities, enhancement of student learning outcomes of FE and internships, and adoption of the positive education approach (Norrish, Williams, O’Connor, & Robinson, 2013). Activities such as self-assessments, case studies, knowledge/skill enrichment exercises, reflections and mini-quizzes will be included in the kit for each aspect.

Personality, Career Efficacy and Parental Influences as Predictors of Vocational Interests and Choice Goals among Hong Kong High School Students
Using a quantitative approach, this study examines the roles of personality, parental influences and collective efficacy on career self-efficacy, and the formation of vocational interests and choice goals among Hong Kong high school students. On a theoretical level, this study expands western models by including relational variables important to collectivistic cultures. On an applied level, the results will contribute to the design of career guidance appropriate for the development of Chinese high school students.
