To facilitate the implementation of NSS curriculum, HKNEAC offered residential field studies for senior secondary Biology students. It is expected that through field studies, students can further develop skills in planning and conducting investigations, communicating information and understanding, scientific thinking and problem-solving as well as working individually and in teams.
Scientific investigations involve observing phenomena, defining problems, formulating hypotheses, designing and conducting investigations, and interpreting results. These kinds of activity are not only for verification purposes, but also allow students to understand the process of science, including how to clarify questions, how to design an experiment, how to record and interpret data, and how to communicate the knowledge generated. It should be noted that developing science process skills is as important as finding correct answers. Students are expected to master much more than facts and manipulative skills through field studies. They must learn to be critical thinkers.
