Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyse the successful experience of higher education in Hong Kong and to propose recommendations and strategies to promote higher education in mainland China. Secondly, to provide an overview of the experience and development patterns of Hong Kong's higher education institutions and to provide an effective theoretical framework for university education in the mainland. This study will be a quantitative study with data collection and analysis by means of an online questionnaire. Fifty teachers from a university in Hong Kong will participate in the questionnaire exercise. The study found that universities in Hong Kong place more emphasis on formative assessment, but as this is an ongoing process, not every teacher is able to give feedback. However, in contrast to SA, FA is more conducive to developing students' learning skills.
