本研究主要目的是探究生本教育 1 在香港小學二年級中文科閱讀教學實踐的成效。本研究比 較「生本教育班」和「非生本教育班」學生的閱讀測驗分數，以評估生本教育的成效。參與 實驗的「生本教育班」學生共 425 人（218 名男生及 207 名女生），平均年齡為 7.3 歲 ﹔「非 生本教育班」學生共 250 人（140 名男生及 110 名女生），平均年齡為 7.5 歲。評估工具包括 香港中文學科閱讀測驗和高階閱讀思考測驗。研究結果顯示香港小學二年級生本教育中文科 的教學課程，不但能提升學生的基本閱讀能力，也能增進學生的高階閱讀思考能力。

This study investigated the effectiveness of student-centered(shengben) education in Hong Kong second graders´ reading instruction. We compared Chinese test papers scores between second graders´ shengben classes(n = 425; 218 boys and 207 girls) and traditional non-shengben classes(n = 250; 140 boys and 110 girls). The mean age for shengben classes was 7.3 years, and the mean age for non-shengben classes was 7.5 years. Basic and higher-order reading abilities were measured with two sets of reading comprehension tests. Results indicated that student-centered shengben reading instruction is effective in enhancing both basic and higher-order reading abilities.
