Learning and Teaching Expo 2019 學與教博覽2019

Hong Kong has been promoting STEM Education for some time, with schools organising all kinds of STEM activities, study programmess and competitions to increase students’ learning motivation, encouraging students to take charge of their learning as they acquire, synthesise and apply knowledge across different subjects, thus developing their creativity and problem solving skills. Self-regulated learning (SRL) bears many similarities to STEM Education: It motivates students to be become life-long learners who can apply learning strategies and reflective thinking skills in the active pursuit of knowledge. The speaker will share how his school designs its school-based curriculum with SRL in mind. Using STEM Education as a starting point, the school has introduced project learning and developed lessons that are student-centred, interactive and engaging. Having created a rich learning environment and modified teaching methods, the school ensures that their students are motivated by the joy of learning and a sense of accomplishment, and be able to learn actively, unleash their creativity and create their own future. The two speakers are both experienced teachers in fashion design, a subject which has close ties with STEM. Through STEM project learning, students can apply the latest technology to create the trendiest items that receive critical acclaim in the fashion world. The speakers will share their strategies and insights into developing STEM curriculum and innovative lessons, including a cross-subject project learning resource pack to stimulate students’ learning interest and develop their creativity, collaboration skills and problem solving skills. They will also demonstrate two self-learning platforms that they have spent ten years developing, and explain how IT can enhance STEM teaching. By providing subject information and content about fashion design, including notes, video clips, PowerPoint presentations and games, students’ self-learning motivation can be enhanced.

香港推行 STEM 教育已有一段時間，學校推行各種 STEM 活動、教學和比賽等，希望提升學生對學習的興趣，令學生能主動學習，綜合及應用跨學科知識，從而培養學生的創意、創作和解決問題等能力。自主學習和 STEM 有很多相同的地方，自主學習能令學生主動學習、掌握及運用所學到的學習策略和反思能力，讓學生成為終身學習者。 講者將分享其校沿用自主學習理念規劃校本課程，以STEM教學為切入點，引入「專題研習」的學與教模式，發展學生為主導的課堂，自主學習，加強學習的主動及互動性。經過多年的嘗試，學校創設了更豐富有趣的學習情境，教師改變了教學方式，適當地鼓勵學生，讓他們以積極態度學習，體驗學習的樂趣、滿足感和成功感，讓學生活學知識、激發創意、開創未來。 兩位講者為資深時裝設計科老師，深信時裝與STEM關係緊密，透過STEM專題研習，學生可以運用尖端科技，創造風靡時裝界的潮物。講者將分享開展STEM課程及實踐創新課堂的策略和心得，如設計跨科專題研習教材套，以提升學生的學習興趣，發展創造、協作和解決問題的能力。此外，他們會展示其花了十年時間製作的兩個自主學習平台，闡述如何運用資訊科技優化STEM教學，提供關於時裝設計科的資訊及學習內容，包括筆記、短片、簡報、遊戲等，以提升學生自主學習的動機。
