Project Details
Description
Based on the experience obtained from the previous project, this project will continue to develop an interactive energy curriculum suitable for the indigenous students of elementary schools. The energy curriculum, composed of a series of interactive learning activities, still adopts the collaborative problem solving (CPS) teaching strategy, and the design of the curriculum will be based on the culture background of the indigenous children in order to promote their science learning interest and problem-solving skills. Moreover, the interactive energy curriculum deployed in the “teaching & assessment platform” can be accessed at any time and any place by all teachers for their supplementary use in the classes.
The participants of this project will be the 4th to 6th grade students from seven different indigenous elementary schools in Yi-Lan County: Nan-Ao (the seed school), Wu-Ta, Dong-Ao, Bi-Hou, Ao-Hwa, Jin-Yang and Jin-Yue Elementary Schools. During the development of the curriculum, course evaluation will be constantly performed by both qualitative and quantitative methods for the improvement of teaching materials and activities.
In addition to the research part, this project will also support the main project for all the promotion activities, such as seminars and forums for indigenous seed teachers, summer camps, winter camps and so on, in order to spread the interactive on-line curriculum to other indigenous schools in remote rural area and hence to make up the science learning gap.
