With the support from the Quality Education Funds, many Hong Kong schools
including primary and secondary have been granted to set up Campus TV stations along with
the school curriculum. As the number of schools setting up the Campus TV station is
increasing, engaging students in video production should have achieved some learning
outcomes, though little attention for studies has been paid in this aspect. Reviewing the
literature, Jonassen, Carr & Yueh (1998) suggested “students as designers” approach,
regarded computer as a Mindtool; students being a courseware designer would learn how to
understand, organize and construct individual knowledge. Buckingham, Grahame and
Sefton-Green (1995) once suggested asking students to produce video outcome would
enhance their understanding on a specific topic. Throughout the video production, students
would go through reading, producing and reflection; at the same time the video outcome
produced by students is a knowledge representation of their constructed knowledge
throughout the process. The paper is going to explore whether video production will enhance
students learning: during the video production, some important thinking skills may be
enhanced, and the video outcome of the production is a representation of the collaboratively
constructed knowledge.published_or_final_versio
