- Abstract
Based on students' subjective perceptions, the primary objective of the present research was to assess the effectiveness of a national education program within the framework of higher education in Hong Kong. Responding to the need to foster law abidance education among university students, we delivered a three-hour lecture on law abidance leadership addressing issues related to the Hong Kong National Security Law, and we invited students to answer an evaluation survey. A total of 1,155 students completed the post-lecture questionnaire. By analyzing the data using Confirmatory Factor Analysis, we found that the three-factor model (i.e., teaching qualities, lecture attributes, and students' law appreciation) was well established and students had positive perception of the lecture. Furthermore, we identified the three factors as significant predictors of students' overall perception of the national education program. Qualitative responses, echoing quantitative data, were also found to be positive. This study conducted further research to validate existing empirical evidence about the efficacy of the national education program in the higher education sector in Hong Kong.
