香港紫荊書院參與由香港大學（HKU）與哈佛大學天體物理學中心共同開展之合作研究專案 ——《衡量香港初中交叉概念中的科學素養》。
Our school takes part in the collaborative research project “Measuring Science Literacy in Cross-Cutting Concepts in Hong Kong Junior Secondary Schools”, jointly developed by The University of Hong Kong (HKU) and the Harvard University Center for Astrophysics.
本專案由香港研究資助委員會（RGC）提供支持與資助，研究核心圍繞交叉概念（CCC）展開，內容橫跨物理學、化學、生物學及地球科學四大領域，涵蓋因果關係、系統和模型、規模和比例、穩定性和變化。這些核心概念與香港初中綜合科學課程所強調的「統一概念」高度契合。
Supported and funded by the Hong Kong Research Grants Council (RGC), the project centers on Cross-Cutting Concepts (CCC) across Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Earth Science, including Cause and Effect, Systems and Models, Scale and Proportion, Stability and Change. These key concepts align closely with the “Unifying Concepts” emphasized in Hong Kong’s junior secondary science curriculum.
研究旨在深入了解學生在基礎科學學習過程中所形成的先入為主觀念與直覺認知，藉此為香港科學教師建構一套科學、可靠且經過驗證的教學診斷工具，助力提升科學教學效能。
The research aims to gain in-depth understanding of students’ preconceptions and intuitive ideas developed during basic science learning, so as to build a set of scientific, reliable and validated diagnostic tools for science teachers in Hong Kong, supporting the improvement of science teaching effectiveness.
作為參與學校之一，本校積極響應專案邀請，有序組織學生參與相關測試環節，配合研究團隊完成資料收集工作，共同支持是項重要教育研究的推進。
As one of the participating schools, our school actively responded to the project invitation, systematically arranged Secondary 2 students to join the assessment sessions, assisted the research team in data collection, and jointly supported the implementation of this important educational research.
參與是次高校聯合研究，讓學生有機會接觸學術研究的實際流程，體驗科學素養評估的方式，拓展課堂以外的學習經歷。過程參與，不僅有助與學生加深對科學概念的理解，亦能培養嚴謹的學習態度與思辨能力。表現優異的學生，將獲香港大學頒發證書作為嘉許。
Participation in this joint university research allows students to experience the actual process of academic research, engage with science literacy assessment methods, and broaden their learning experiences beyond the classroom. It not only deepens students’ understanding of scientific concepts but also fosters a rigorous learning attitude and critical thinking skills. Students with outstanding performance will receive a certificate from The University of Hong Kong in recognition of their efforts.
推動科學教育的發展，需要學校、學界與社會的共同努力。本校期望透過參與此類研究，為學生提供更多元的學習平台，並配合教育界的科研工作，助力本地科學教育的持續進步。
Advancing science education requires collective efforts from schools, academia and the community. By participating in such research, our school aims to provide students with more diverse learning opportunities, support educational research in the sector, and contribute to the continuous development of local science education.
