中史考大躍進、公社效果 考評局：多未答正面作用 教師料盼訓練多角度思考 非為「洗白」
This year’s Chinese History and History papers in the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination (DSE) both included questions on China before reform and opening-up. One Chinese History question required candidates to analyse the “effects” of the Great Leap Forward and the People’s Commune Movement. The Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority said in the Question Compilation published yesterday that most candidates had failed to grasp what the question was asking. In line with the question requirements, candidates had to analyse both the positive and negative aspects, but many failed to identify the positive effects of the two movements. A Chinese History teacher said that, based on the historical facts, the Great Leap Forward did indeed have more negative effects, so it was understandable that candidates focused on the negative aspects. The teacher believed the HKEAA was seeking to use the question to train students to think from multiple perspectives, rather than to “whitewash” the Great Leap Forward.
今年中學文憑試（DSE）中史科及歷史科均有題目考問中國改革開放前情况，其中中史科有題目要求考生分析「大躍進」和「人民公社化」運動的「效果」。考評局昨日出版《試題專輯》指出，大部分考生未能掌握該題所問，按題旨，考生須從正負兩邊分析，惟不少考生未能寫出兩場運動的正面效果。有中史科教師認為，按史實「大躍進」的負面影響確實較多，考生側重寫負面可以理解，料考評局盼以該題訓練學生「多角度思考」，不認為是為大躍進「洗白」。

高中中史及歷史優化課程框架出爐 新增課題包括中共成立 2030年DSE起適用
The Education Bureau issued a circular to schools today (the 3rd), announcing the enhanced curriculum frameworks for senior secondary Chinese History and History. The new frameworks are planned for full implementation in Secondary 4 in the 2027/28 school year and will apply to the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education examinations from 2030 onwards. Based on the existing curricula, the enhanced Chinese History curriculum updates some topic content, while the History curriculum updates and consolidates content from different topics. In terms of assessment, the Education Bureau said both subjects would introduce more diverse and objective question types.
Under the latest curriculum framework, the compulsory part of Chinese History will continue to be divided into Parts A and B. Part A, “Ancient Chinese History”, is divided into five historical periods covering the period from ancient times to the mid-Qing dynasty. Part B, “Modern Chinese History”, is likewise divided into five historical periods. Compared with the existing framework, new topics include “The Founding of the Chinese Communist Party” and “The New Era of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics”. The elective component will be reduced from six units to three.
History currently consists of the introduction “The Making of the Modern World”, Theme A “Modernisation and Transformation in 20th-Century Asia”, and Theme B “Conflict and Cooperation in the 20th-Century World”. Under the new framework, there will be three units. Unit 1, “The Formation of the Modern World”, includes topics such as the colonial expansion of imperialist countries and resistance in Latin America and Asia. Unit 2, “War and Peace”, covers the two world wars and the Cold War, among other topics. Unit 3, “China and the World”, covers the period from the founding of the Communist Party to the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, as well as China’s development and achievements. The History elective component will also be restructured into two units, of which students may choose one.
教育局今（3日）向學校發出通函，公布優化高中中國歷史科及歷史科課程框架。新課程框架擬於2027/28學年在中四級全面推行，並適用於2030年及以後的香港中學文憑試。優化課程以現行課程為基礎，其中中史科更新部分課題內容；歷史科則更新及整合不同課題的內容。評核方面，教育局表示，兩科均會引入更多元性及客觀性的題型。
根據最新課程框架，中史科必修部分繼續分為甲、乙兩部分，其中甲部「中國古代史」劃分為五個歷史時期，內容涵蓋上古至清朝中葉；乙部「中國近現代史」同樣劃分為五個歷史時期，對比現有課程框架，新增的課題包括「中國共產黨的成立」、「中國特色社會主義新時代」。選修部分則由以往6個單元減至3個單元。
歷史科現設引言「現代世界的孕育」、主題甲「二十世紀亞洲的現代化與蛻變」及主題乙「二十世紀世界的衝突與合作」。新框架下設3個單元，包括「現代世界的形成」，課題包括帝國主義國家的殖民擴張及拉丁美洲和亞洲的反抗；單元2「戰爭與和平」涵蓋兩次世界大戰、冷戰等；單元3「中國與世界」則涉及共產黨創建到中華人民共和國成立、中國的發展與成就。歷史科亦重設選修部分，設兩個單元，可二選一。
