摘要本文旨在探讨教师在将塑料资源教育（PRE）融入小学生活中的策略和方法，以克服在实施过程中遇到的挑战，以促进环境友好的做法。我们邀请了八位来自参与学前教育的香港小学教师进行个案研究，透过焦点小组访谈，阐述他们在小学推行学前教育的个人经历和经验。根据教师分享所得的数据，我们发现了以往文献中常见的几个挑战，包括缺乏时间、人手不足和学生参与不足。教师们通过采用不同的策略来提高学生的参与，并获得学校管理层和家长等相关持份者的支持，来解决这些障碍。这些个案研究提供了重要和相关的信息，可供其他学校参考，以更有效地整合学前教育，促进学习。
ABSTRACT This paper aims to examine teachers’ use of strategies and approaches in integrating Plastic Resources Education (PRE) into primary school life in order to overcome the challenges encountered during implementation to promote environmentally friendly practices. Case studies with eight Hong Kong teachers from PRE-participating primary schools were invited to take part in focus group interviews, to explicate their personal stories and experiences associated with the PRE implementation in primary schools. Based on the data collected from the teachers’ sharing, several challenges which are commonly reported in the previous literature, including lack of time, shortage of manpower, and insufficient pupil engagement were found. The teachers tackled the barriers by using different strategies to improve pupils’ involvement as well as getting support from the relevant stakeholders of school management and parents. The case studies provide crucial and relevant information which can be used as a reference for other schools to integrate PRE more efficiently to facilitate learning.
