Abstract
- This study evaluated a national education program that covers "the history of China and Hong Kong", "law-abiding leadership", and "the Hong Kong National Security Law (HKNSL)" in taught postgraduate students at a university in Hong Kong. This study examined students' perceptions of the course attributes, understanding of national education and law-abiding behaviors, and self-paced learning, as well as the role of student perceptions of the program in predicting the overall satisfaction rate. We collected data from 1,808 taught postgraduate students via an online survey at a university in Hong Kong. Results revealed that students demonstrated high satisfaction with the national education program, and they had a favorable perception of the national education program. Moreover, multiple regression analyses indicated that different aspects of students' perceptions significantly predicted their overall satisfaction with the program. The present study underscores the value of the online national education program and suggests the usefulness of self-paced learning arrangements in delivering sensitive topics such as the HKNSL. Limitations and implications for future studies are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
