Development of Generic Capabilities in Teaching and Learning Environments at Associate Degree Level

In response to the demands imposed by the knowledge-based economy, Hong Kong underwent a relatively revolutionary change in its tertiary education scene in 2000, with the mission to increase the percentage of the population able to receive tertiary education from 30% to 60% within a decade (Hong Kong SAR, Education Commission, 2000).
