The Hong Kong Institute of Education (Abbreviated: HKIEd, ) is one of eight subsidised tertiary institutes under the University Grants Committee of Hong Kong. It is the only one dedicated to teacher education. Its retitling as a university is being considered by the Hong Kong SAR Government. According to the ''2015 QS World University Rankings'' in the field of Education, it is ranked 15th in the world and 3rd in Asia; in the field of linguistics, it is ranked 101-150th in the world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/university-subject-rankings/2015/education-training#sorting=rank+region=+country=+faculty=+stars=false+search= )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/university-subject-rankings/2015/linguistics#sorting=rank+region=+country=+faculty=+stars=false+search= )〕 ==History and recent developments== The history of Hong Kong Institute of Education (HKIEd) can be traced back to 1853. St. Paul’s College introduced the first formalised program of in-service teacher training. This was described in its Annual Report for 1994/95.〔(Hong Kong Higher Education Integration Matters:A Report of the Institutional Integration Working Party of the University Grants Committee )〕 On 25 April 1994, under the recommendation made by the Education Commission Report No 5, it was formally established by the merger of: *Northcote College of Education, established in 1939〔 and was named after Sir Geoffrey Northcote, the former Governor of Hong Kong. The former site of the Northcote College of Education was on 21 Sassoon Road, which is now headquarters of the Li Ka Shing Medical Faculty of HKU.〔http://www.hku.hk/daao/newsletter/web_0103/p24-27.pdf〕 *Grantham College of Education, established in 1951〔 and was named after Sir Alexander Grantham, the former Governor of Hong Kong. It was located at 42 Gascoigne Road. *Sir Robert Black College of Education, established in 1960 and named after Sir Robert Brown Black, a former Governor of Hong Kong.〔 *Hong Kong Technical Teachers’ College, established in 1974.〔 *Institute of Language in Education, established in 1982 and was previously under the supervision of the then Education Department.〔 Established in 1994 upon the foundation of 70 years of teacher training by the former Colleges of Education, the HKIEd is the only University Grants Committee funded institution dedicated professional teacher education in Hong Kong. HKIEd provides doctorate, master and undergraduate degrees, postgraduate diploma, certificates and a range of in-service programs to around 7,000 pre-service students and serving teachers. In October 1997, the Institute moved to its new campus in Tai Po near the Tai Po Industrial Estate. It has a Sports Centre at Pak Shek Kok, Tai Po, as well as a Town Centre campus in Tseung Kwan O. In 2001, the HKIEd HSBC Early Childhood Learning Centre was established on the campus. The HKIEd Jockey Club Primary School was founded on the campus in the following year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Hong Kong Institute of Education )〕 From 1 May 2004, the institute was granted self-accrediting status in respect of its own teacher education programs at degree-level and above. In June 2009, the institute won an extra annual funding of HK$22 million from the Hong Kong Government to provide 120 undergraduate degree places for three new undergraduate programs and 30 research postgraduate places for the 2009-2012 triennium.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Hong Kong Institute of Education )〕 In January 2010, the University Grants Committee endorsed the HKIEd's plans for Research Postgraduate programmes and undergraduate programs in three disciplines: "Humanities" (mainly Language), "Social Sciences", and "Creative Arts & Culture".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Hong Kong Institute of Education )〕 The approval is seen as a step closer for the institute to gaining its university title by becoming a fully-fledged university of education with a range of disciplines and strong research capacity. HKIEd will launch its first batch of non-education programs, namely the Bachelor of Arts in Language Studies and Bachelor of Social Sciences in Global and Environmental Studies in September 2010. Both programs have already secured the support of the External Validation Panel of the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Hong Kong Institute of Education )〕 Preparations for the launching of the third Education-Plus programme, Bachelor of Arts in Creative Arts and Culture, in 2011/2012 are underway. The Institute actively seeks to enhance its research capacity. Four institute-level research centres〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Hong Kong Institute of Education )〕 had been set up to facilitate the growth of expertise in multi-disciplinary research. On 11 September 2015 the University Grants committee accepted the application by the Institute of Education to become a university. The relevant legislation will be amended to reflect the institution's new status and the name may be changed to "University of Education". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hong Kong Institute of Education」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
