Hong Kong Biology Literacy Award (2022/2023)

The Hong Kong Association for Science and Mathematics Education (HKASME), together with Royal Society of Biology, The Education University of Hong Kong and The University of Hong Kong organized the competition. Four areas of questions were covered to test students’ understanding on Biology. The areas are: (1) Scientific inquiry; (2) Nature of science; (3) STEM Education; and (4) Science, technology, social & environment connection.

This competition was highly challenging as it encompasses various aspects of biological literacy, testing students' understanding of biological concepts and their ability to apply biological knowledge to real-life situations. Unlike school tests or exams that focused on memorizing textbook knowledge, the competition's questions required critical thinking and logical understanding. Students might encounter questions related to biology principles, ecosystems, genetics, molecular biology, and more. They needed to analyze problems from different perspectives, provide reasonable explanations and solutions, and demonstrate strong logical comprehension skills. This competition provided valuable opportunities for students to develop critical thinking, logical reasoning, and problem-solving abilities, while applying biological knowledge to real-life contexts. It had a profound impact on their learning and personal growth.
