AbstractThe General University Requirements (GUR) is a component of the new 4-year undergraduate program at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). This study examined students’ views and experiences of the GUR using a qualitative methodology. Written comments of 240 freshmen, sophomores, and senior-year students with reference to open-ended questions on their memorable experiences in the GUR study were collected. The qualitative findings suggested that students generally had positive views on the GUR in terms of its widely adopted active and experiential learning pedagogy, useful and attractive contents, caring teaching staff, and rich learning outcomes. Challenges were also identified for further improvement of the GUR.

Depth Interviews

Based on the narratives generated from in-depth interviews with 18 outreach youth workers in Hong Kong, this paper investigates the political actions of these youth workers and shows how they have invented strategies to construct their own style of emancipatory practice. Such strategies include (1) seeking new allies for development of community support networks; (2) establishing a research center for policy advocacy; and (3) organizing with youth for social change. The implications of the findings for realizing the liberating potential of youth work are discussed. 根據深入訪問18位外展青年工作者所得的敘述，本文探究這些青年工作者的政治行動，並展示他們如何創造出一些策略，以建構具備他們自己獨特風格的解放式青年工作。這些策略包括：(1)尋找新盟友以發展社區支援網絡；(2)成立一研究中心作政策倡議；及(3)組織青年人以推動社會變革。本文並討論上述發現對實現青年工作之解放潛力的含義。.
