Keep up! Transform your innovative teaching approach with interactive methods

    On December 12th, Ms. Ti-Wan Kung (龔蒂菀) from the Department of Industrial Design at the National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology, who possesses filming experience from 'The Apprentice,' TED Conference video translations, and prior experience in developing teaching systems with various universities in the southern region, shared her insights. Ms. Kung highlighted her use of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the classroom, primarily focusing on the three facets of sustainable development: social progress, climate and environment, and economic growth. Additionally, Ms. Kung prompted educators to contemplate creation and innovation, hoping teachers would design opportunities for students to think critically, innovate, problem-solve, and exercise empathy in their learning.

    Furthermore, to enhance student interaction, she suggested employing ice-breaking activities to foster student camaraderie. Practical exercises were proposed to aid students in comprehending the theoretical aspects of their textbooks. Ms. Kung proposed tools such as empathy maps, scenario storyboards, design assessments, and a headline news approach, allowing students to learn and grow through hands-on experiences. Breaking down topics into three facets for group discussions—such as using empathy maps to describe 'Think & Feel,' 'Hear,' 'See,' 'Say & Do,' 'Pain,' and 'Gain' related to the class topic—helped students navigate their learning direction.

    Another example, scenario storyboard, involved students discussing and writing responses to the teacher in a structured format: using black text for scenario descriptions, red text for extended problem explanations, and blue text to indicate solutions, integrating these contents into SDGs projects. Through these methods, teachers learned to engage in dialogue with students in class, fostering innovative modes of interaction.
