The study examined child-centered, play-based curriculum at a pre-school educational organization in Hong Kong. The focus was on assessing the relationship between the emphasis on teaching academic skills and its effect on diminishing child-centered pedagogy such as playbased learning. A gap analysis was used as the framework to investigate areas of improvement through the lenses of knowledge, motivation and organization. Data collected through surveys, interviews and classroom observations of teachers revealed that they had strong competence with regard to knowledge, motivation and organizational issues relating to play-based learning. Nevertheless, findings showed that teachers were not as familiar with certain factual knowledge and conceptual knowledge regarding the definition of play, characteristics of play and how principles of play can help promote mathematical and literacy skills. The study also confirmed a number of organizational improvement areas, such as the considerable amount of administrative work, curriculum expectations and demands, and an overwhelming culture of academic readiness. Proposed solutions were devised based on the findings to provide strategies to achieve the goal of spending more time in the curriculum on free-choice activities such as play as recommended by the Education Bureau of Hong Kong. As part of the study, a three-stage implementation plan and an evaluation plan were recommended.
