As technology continues to advance over time, students nowadays no longer need to memorize vast amounts of knowledge as in the past, and teachers should not merely transmit standardized knowledge repetitively. The most important thing for learners is to learn how to think independently, make judgments, and innovate. Therefore, curriculum design avoids rote learning and instead focuses on theme-based courses that incorporate case studies. Various course-related materials are collected from everyday life, and the underlying principles are deconstructed to cultivate students’ thinking and creative abilities. During exams, the goal is not to test whether students can memorize all the knowledge verbatim, but rather to assess their understanding of the meaning behind the learned knowledge and how to apply it in everyday life. This approach helps students develop self-learning abilities, critical thinking skills, and problem-solving abilities, ultimately shaping them into competent professionals.
科技隨著時間持續進步,現在的學生毋需如同過往大量記憶知識,老師也不應該只是重複性地傳遞標準化知識。學習者最重要的是:學會如何獨立思考、判斷與創新。因此,課程設計會避免知識的填鴨式教學,反而是注重「個案研究」方式的主題式課程,並從日常生活中,收集各式課程相關教材,並解構其運作原理,藉此培養學生思考與創造能力;考試時,不以測驗學生是否將所有的知識原封不動記憶下來,而是要測驗學生是否理解所學知識背後的意義,以及如何應用於日常生活之中,藉以將幫助學生成為有自學力、有批判性思維,以及具解決問題能力之專業人士。
