Seminar on “Innovative

Physical Education and

Health with Linkage to the

Community through

Interactive Technology”

On 12 September, a seminar on “Innovative

Physical Education and Health with Linkage

to the Community through Interactive

Technology” was held in HG01, Ho Yin

Convention Centre, the University of Macau.

Prof. Chin Ming Kai, Vice President of

Global Affairs and Research HOPSports,

was invited to be the key speaker, and Dr.

Kong Zhao Wei, FED Program Coordinator

of Physical Education, Fine Arts and Music

Courses, chaired the seminar.

Dr. Kong Zhao Wei extended his warm

welcome to Prof. Chin Ming Kai, briefly

introduced Prof. Chin’s academic

background and then gave the floor to Prof.

Chin, who began with a discussion on the

present situation of obesity.

Prof. Chin focused on the linkage and

application of a holistic health and physical

education model and interactive technology

as one of the possible means of combating

the global epidemic of overweight and

obesity, including the global obesity

prevalence, critical periods during which fat

cell development is significantly increased,

causes and development of obesity, the

relationship between obesity and physical

activity, relative researches at home and

abroad, innovative and creative technology

mediums which can assist to fight the

childhood obesity and integrate learning, as

well as implementation and development of

interactive technology in physical curricula

for adolescents domestic and overseas.

Prof. Chin Ming Kai concluded that the

promotion of physical activity strategies

needs to be undertaken on an individual,

community, nationwide and worldwide basis.

The future technological physical curricula

will embrace more activities from different

countries and adopt more technologies, in

order to enable the students to exercise

happily “anytime and anywhere”.

After his presentation, Prof. Chin led the

participating teachers and students to

experience the amazing technology medium.

Finally, Dr. Kong presented souvenirs to

Prof. Chin and they had a group picture with

all the participants.

Workshop on “Inclusive

Physical Education”

On 14 September, a workshop on “Inclusive

Physical Education” was held in the Dance

Room of the Sports Complex, the University

of Macau. Dr. Maria Dinold, from Centre

for Sport Science and University Sports,

University of Vienna, Austria, was invited to

be the key speaker, and Dr. Ho King Yan,

Assistant Professor of Faculty of Education,

chaired the seminar.

The theme of Dr. Maria Dinold’s speech

was “Inclusive Dance Pedagogy as a part of

Inclusive Physical Education”. Dr. Dinold

pointed out that creative physical activity,

movement patterns and games are thought

useful for exploring potential talents in

children, young people and/or adults with

and without a disability. Creative dance

pedagogy aims to promote personal

development by helping people find their

own ways of expression, their individual

starting point of getting into dance and

creative movement. Combining reflections

on the aspects of creativity after introducing

the use of dance and creative movement in

adapted/inclusive physical education and

some ideas about the significance of

disability will help promote personal

development and quality of life – especially

for disabled people.

As far as creative dance classes are

concerned, Dr. Dinold aroused attentions to

following aspects, including the theme, the

space, the composition of the group,

temporal, spatial, acoustic conditions and

the way of encounter.

During the second session, Dr. Maria Dinold

led the participating teachers and students to

experience the inclusive dance pedagogy.

The participants vividly demonstrated what

they had learnt in the workshop by

interacting and telling stories in pairs and

groups.

Towards the end of the workshop, Dr. Ho

King Yan presented souvenirs to Dr. Maria

Dinold and took pictures together.

Public Lecture on “Pedagogies

and Quality Issues of PE”

FED public lecture on “Pedagogies and

Quality Issues of PE” was held in HG01, Ho

Yin Convention Centre, University of

Macau on 15 September. Prof. Rosa de

D’Amico, Universidad Pedagogica

Experimental Libertador (UPEL), Venezuela

and Prof. Abel Toriola, Tshwane University

of Technology, South Africa, were invited to

be the key speakers. Dr. Ho King Yan,

Assistant Professor of FED, chaired the

lecture.

Dr. Ho King Yan extended welcome to all

the students and teachers present and

introduced the first key speaker, Prof. Rosa

de D’Amico. She gave a talk on

“Pedagogies for the 21st Century Teaching

PE”. She shared with the audience that

“pedagogy” comes from the Greek

παιδαγωγέω (paidagōgeō), which means

“child” and “lead”. So it literally means “to

lead the child”. Pedagogy is “the art, science

or profession of teaching”. She pointed out

that the present situation of the

implementation of physical education isn’t

satisfactory. The pedagogical model applied

to a country should be based on its traditions,

realities and goals for a better world. Many

scholars have emphasized that “critical

thinking, reflection, dissemination of the

concepts, education of teachers, etc., is

needed to improve quality of teaching and

coaching in physical education as means for

a Sports Pedagogy for all levels and for

all…”

In the second half of the seminar, Prof.

Toriola mentioned that physical education in

Africa is a product of indigenous and

western cultures. Colonization of Great

Britain, France and Portugal introduced the

modern physical education to Africa.

Charter of Physical Education and Sport,

introduced by UNESCO in 1978, declares

that: every human being has a fundamental

right of access to physical education. Prof.

Abel Toriola elaborated on the quality

physical education. A quality physical

education programme is to provide school

children with a variety of opportunities to

participate in inclusive physical activities

and sports, carried out in a safe and

adequately resourced environment under

supervision of competent teachers that

facilitate achievement of healthy learning

outcomes and development of positive

attitudes which promote lifelong physical

lifestyles.

Towards the end of the seminar, Dr. Ho

King Yan presented Prof. Rosa de D’Amico

and Prof. Abel Toriola with souvenirs and

took pictures together.

Seminar on “Strategies for

Improving the Management

of Students with Asperger

Syndrome in Education”

FED Seminar on “Strategies for Improving

the Management of Students with Asperger

Syndrome in Education” was held in HG03,

Ho Yin Convention Centre, University of

Macau on 10 October. Dr. Ingrid Harrington,

senior lecturer in the School of Education at

the University of New England, was invited

to be the key speaker. Dr. Sze Tat Ming,

Assistant Professor of FED, chaired the

seminar.

Dr. Sze Tat Ming welcomed all the students

and teachers present and introduced Dr.

Ingrid Harrington. She is an experienced

teacher and also serves on the reviewer

boards of International Journal of Inclusive

Education and Australasian Journal of

Education Technology. She first explained

that Asperger Syndrome (ASD) is an autism

spectrum disorder characterized by

significant difficulties in social interaction,

alongside restricted and repetitive patterns

of behavior and interests.

The syndrome is named after the Austrian

pediatrician Hans Asperger in 1944. He

studied and described children who lacked

nonverbal communications skills,

demonstrated limited empathy with their

peers and were physically clumsy. It is

distinguished by a pattern of symptoms

rather than a single symptom. It is

characterized by qualitative impairment in

social interaction, social communication and

social imagination (lack of flexible thinking

and imaginative play).

Dr. Ingrid Harrington shared with the

audience some essential tips for

understanding Asperger Syndrome:

1. They are unable to answer questions

immediately because they have a

longer processing time.

2. Try to limit their choices and make

them very specific and concrete, as too

many choices will frustrate and

overwhelm them.

3. Try to avoid talking too much! These

students are visual learners.

4. Provide positive feedback! These

students have a great fear of failure

and want to be Mr. /Miss Perfect.

5. Don’t over-generalize information.

6. Students with ASD may find it

difficult to look at you when listening.

7. Such students may find it difficult to

organize themselves.

8. Avoid getting into verbal arguments.

These students often enjoy verbal

arguments.

9. Be as clear, concise and concrete as

possible. These students have

difficulty in abstract thinking.

10. Be mindful of sensory issues! These

students often have problems with

certain smells, loud noises, etc.

Towards the end of the seminar, Dr. Ingrid

Harrington answered questions from the

audience. In the end, Dr. Sze Tat Ming

presented Dr. Ingrid Harrington with

souvenirs and took pictures together.

Guest Lecture on

“Curriculum Design and

Development in Macau

Primary Schools”

On 19 October, Guest Lecture on

“Curriculum Design and Development in

Macau Primary Schools” was held in J407A,

University of Macau. In the lecture, which

was chaired by Dr. Shieh Jin Jy, three

in-service teachers, including Ms. Chan

Weng Ian and Ms. Lei Hoi Io from the

Affiliated School of the University of

Macau, and Mr. Ho Hou Wai from Colégio

dom Bosco (Yuet Wah), were invited to

share with Year-3 students majoring in

Primary Education their experience in

curriculum design and instruction.

The teachers, with different styles and

characteristics, shared with the students

their experience in designing curriculum,

teaching and getting along with the students.

The sharing included:

1. Self-introduction, brief introduction of

their schools, curricula and students;

2. Experience and process of curriculum

design;

3. Teaching methodology, media and

autonomy;

4. Challenges and fun at work;

5. Application of knowledge in teaching

and suggestions for juniors.

Along with sharing their experience in

teaching and designing curriculum, the

teachers also emphasized the importance of

paying attention to the characteristics of

pupils. Face to face with the innocent pupils

they teach, teachers need to pay more

attention to their own behaviors and set

good examples for their students. When

dealing with the faults of the students,

teachers should always uphold the principle

of fairness and justice, take into account the

self-esteem and characteristics of pupils, so

as to guide students appropriately. While

maintaining a teacher-friend relationship

with students, teachers should also keep in

touch with their parents in order to keep the

communication of the students’ information

unobstructed between school and home.

Besides, novice teachers especially need to

discuss teaching related issues frequently

with experienced teachers for improvement.

After the sharing, the students put forward

their questions concerning aspects of the

internship, distinction between schools,

salary and welfare, etc. In the end, the

students said that, thanks to the selfless

sharing of the teachers, they had a deeper

and better understanding of the teaching

profession.

Seminar on “Research Trends

and Policy Development of

Early Childhood Parenting

and Family Education”

Seminar on “Research Trends and Policy

Development of Early Childhood Parenting

and Family Education” was held in J419,

Silver Jubilee Building, University of

Macau, on 27 October. Prof. Lin Pei Rong,

Department Head of Early Childhood

Education of Taipei Municipal University of

Education, was invited as the key speaker.

Dr. Vong Keang Ieng, Assistant Professor

of FED, chaired the seminar.

Prof. Lin Pei Rong first shared with the

students the development of academic

researches on early childhood parenting in

the area of developmental psychology. After

the 1970s, researchers were gradually

influenced by social psychology and

cognitive psychology. Prof. Lin pointed out

that most of the early researches adopted

unidirectional approach, yet bidirectional

approach and system approach emerged

after more and more doubts casted on the

unidirectional one.

The bidirectional approach emphasized that

the process of socialization is an interactive

process. Since both parents and children

play a role in the process, the two parties

influence each other. The system approach

treated the family as a system. All members

of the family influence one another. The

changes of any family member would

change the whole system. Prof. Lin vividly

illustrated the two approaches through case

studies and research papers.

Prof. Lin also gave suggestions on the future

research on early childhood parenting. She

mentioned the Ecological Systems Theory

of Prof. Urie Bronfenbrenner and

encouraged the audience to do research with

systematic and dynamic approaches. As for

the research methods, she recommended the

combination of qualitative and quantitative

methods.

Towards the end of the seminar, Prof. Lin

Pei Rong answered questions on the

difference between qualititive and qualititive

researches. In the end, Dr. Vong Keang Ieng

presented Prof. Lin with souvenirs and they

took pictures together.

mathematician during the Three Kingdoms

period of Chinese history. In 263 AD, he

edited and published a book known as The

Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art,

which is one of the earliest surviving

mathematical texts in China.

The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art

presented solutions to 246 mathematical

problems. Contents of the Nine Chapters are

as follows:

1. Rectangular fields: calculation of areas

of fields of various shapes;

manipulation of vulgar fractions.

2. Millet and rice: exchange of

commodities at different rates; pricing.

3. Proportional distribution: distribution

of commodities and money at

proportional rates.

4. The lesser breadth: division by mixed

numbers; extraction of square and

cube roots; dimensions, area and

volume of circle and sphere.

5. Consultations on works: volumes of

solids of various shapes.

6. Equitable taxation: more advanced

problems on proportion.

7. Excess and deficit: linear problems

solved using the principle known later

in the West as the rule of false

position.

8. The rectangular array: systems of

linear equations, solved by a principle

similar to Gaussian elimination.

9. Base and altitude: problems involving

the principle known in the West as the

Pythagorean Theorem.

Towards the end of the seminar, Prof. Guo

Shu Chun answered questions from the

audience on the other possible authors of

The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art

and the way to calculate the area of a circle.

Forum on “Think and Work

together for Macao”

On 2 September, Dr. Yi Lee Wong, Assistant

Professor of Faculty of Education, attended

the forum on “Think and Work together for

Macao”. The forum was organized by

Macau Development Strategy Research

Centre to discuss the present situation of

social mobility.

The forum was held in the conference room

of the Macao Science Center. The theme of

the forum was “Love Macao and Work

Together for Macao”. Representatives from

various walks of life attended the forum and

talked about how to create opportunities for

the young and women, how to improve

education, human resources, and middle

classes as well as small and medium

enterprises. Dr. Wong gave a talk on the

topic of social mobility in the context of

globalization and regional integration.

Dr. Wong pointed out that western countries

have relatively clear definition of “middle

class”, which includes professionals and

administrators. The criteria for what

constitutes “middle class” vary among

cultures, but the society should have

consensus on definition of “middle class”,

which may help citizens set objectives for

upward mobility.

Participants agreed that good social system

and comprehensive lifelong learning

network would help promote young people’s

initiative to move upward.

UM Distinguished Lecture

Series: “Economic Reform

and the Transition of Higher

Education Operation

Mechanism in China”

The 27th lecture of UM Distinguished

Lecture Series “Economic Reform and the

Transition of Higher Education Operation

Mechanism in China” was held in HG03,


Macau on 18 September. Prof. Min Weifang,

Professor of Peking University and former

Party Secretary and Chairman of Peking

University Council, was invited to be the

key speaker. Dr. Daniel Tse Chi Wai,

Chairman of University Council; Prof.

Wei Zhao, Rector of UM; Prof. Simon Ho,

Vice Rector (academic affairs) of UM; Prof.

Sylvia S. L. Ieong, Director of Rector Office;

Prof. Fan Xitao, Dean of Faculty of

Education; Prof. Hao Yufan, Dean of

Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities

attended the lecture.

Rector Wei Zhao welcomed all the guests,

teachers and students present and introduced

Prof. Min Weifang. Prof. Min went to

pursue studies at Stanford University in

1980s and obtained Master’s degree in

Further Education and second Master’s

Degree in Organizational Sociology. In 1987,

he received PhD from Stanford University’s

School of Economics and Management, and

then conducted post-doctoral research in

University of Texas. He was appointed

Associate Professor of Peking University

later in 1988. Rector Wei Zhao said that

with the aim to build a high level

world-class university, UM could learn from

Prof. Min and nurture more high-end

talents.


12

Prof. Min focused on (1) economic reform

as background of higher education transition;

(2) transition of Chinese higher education

mechanism; (3) the impact of the transition

on Chinese higher education; (4) current

challenges and future trends. Prof. Min

touched on the major policy steps of the

economic transition process. The rapid

economic growth at an average annual rate

above 9% for more than 30 years stimulated

the needs for better-educated human

resources. The higher education system no

longer mainly responds to the governmental

plan, instead, it caters for the human

resource needs of the social economic

development. He also pointed out that

China’s economic reform is relatively

successful, but had doubts whether the

current mode of growth is unsustainable.

Nowadays, more and more people get

college degrees. Universities in China are

paying more attention on how to build

world-class universities and improve higher

education governance. The higher education

still is faced with many challenges and

problems, such as urban/rural disparity,

regional disparity and quality of

undergraduate education. National Outline

for Education Reform and Development

2010-2020 has set the strategies to tackle the

challenges: giving priority to education;

cultivating talents; carrying out reforms and

innovation; promoting equity and improving

quality.
