在這兩年的LiPACE校園生活中,我覺得自己從中獲益不少,皆因學校提供了課本上不同學者的相關的幼兒概念理論和老師課堂中的有趣的個人分享。這樣我才能在MEC和實習中學以致用,更在未來的工作上更加得心應手,學習到與幼兒們相處和教學技巧。此外,我更在學校找到一群並肩作戰的戰友們,一同在這個專業領域上繼續發展和進步。

  • 2021 幼兒教育高級文憑
  • 全職幼稚園老師
在LiPACE的兩年間,我學習了不同的幼兒教育知識,令我加深了這一個科目的認識。而當中最令深刻的經歷,便是到幼稚園實習。過去兩年,因疫情影響,都擔心會否因此而失去是次寶貴的機會。但慶幸的是,學校仍然為我們提供實習的機會,從而能令我們能夠切身體會到幼師的工作,使我對這一行業有更深入的了解。更甚者,能令我更清晰知道成為幼師的要求,為踏上幼師的旅途,有更完善的規劃。

Asha Bibi
  • 2021 幼兒教育高級文憑
  • 非華語教學助理 (EM Teaching Assistant)
In the Higher Diploma in Early Childhood Education, LiPACE implemented a practicum for us to gain hands-on experience working with young children. Also, the programme combined organizing a mini-educational carnival (MEC) which let us invent our game booths. This was a marvelous practice and supported us strengthen our knowledge and skills. Storytelling was also an exceptional adventure because we acquired to prepare stories according to the children's developmental needs and made handmade props. This has considerably advanced my vulnerability in making diverse kinds of props including generating a range of universal skills, language, and interpersonal and communication skills in early childhood settings. In completion of the course, I have experienced working in kindergarten and nourish me to find my enthusiasm and to proceed to work in the early childhood field.

LiPACE課程全面,涵蓋幼稚園教師職責至整間學校的運作知識,令我於畢業後更有信心應付學校不同的工作崗位。另外,導師為學員提供不同及多元的學習機會,增加了我們的經驗及提升競爭力。導師的用心指導及經驗分享,除了令我們獲得書本以外的知識,亦學懂如何正面面對挑戰的態度,讓我積極爭取學習機會及不同的工作崗位。導師亦會跟我們保持聯絡,即使畢業後亦會推介其他進修或可幫助事業發展的機會。此外,課程中需要進行不同的小組報告,透過分享及討論幼稚園中的經驗,同學間慢慢建立了友情,相處融洽,即使到現在仍會定時約會,分享大家工作及生活上的點滴。完成LiPACE幼兒教育高級文憑後,令我於工作上更有自信心,即使面對工作的困難,亦會主動從不同渠道去解決,從中獲益良多。

LiPACE幼兒教育老師們教學用心,給予我不同方面的支援及課堂上的調適。於實習時給予的提點,確保我能運用所學的理論和知識來教導幼兒,讓我在實習期間表現主動且令人滿意,未完成課程已獲實習學校聘請。老師亦引導我要以幼兒為本的教導,令我對幼兒加倍用心。LiPACE的課程影響到我對幼兒教育的鍾愛及追求, 令我不斷於幼兒教育的範疇上進修,渴求得到寶貴的經驗,例如到保良局協助開校,報讀教大學士學位,樂於接受不同的挑戰,令我一路以來有不少收獲,包括同事、家長的認同和支持, 學生的喜愛, 上司給予的機會等。
