On the historical consciousness of Hong Kong students
- This study focused on evaluating students' historical consciousness as defined by Jorn Rüsen. Two historical events are used. Students were asked the importance of these historical events to himself/herself and/or to others. The aim is to investigate whether the typology of historical consciousness devised by Rüsen could be applied to Hong Kong, and/or whether there were other possible typologies other than the four types specified by Rüsen. Rüsen's 'traditional' category does not distinctively appear. The categories of 'cause-and-effect relationship', and 'empathy with historical figures' do appear, which are complementary to Rüsen's 'exemplary' and 'traditional' typology.
