Turning Critical Thinking into Actions

The program is to introduce "Mini Inquiry-based Exploration (mini-IES)" classes in F.3. These classes are conducted twice a week and include outdoor learning activities and product exhibitions. Teachers employ project-based learning methods and give students the freedom to explore topics related to humanities, society, and culture based on their own interests and needs. Through peer learning and team building exercises, students will engage in cognitive conflicts that stimulate critical thinking and cognitive development. They will also have the opportunity to visit the community and interact with individuals from diverse backgrounds, allowing them to gain new perspectives and enrich their own ideas. Additionally, teachers will introduce various design thinking processes to help students understand the inquiry process and select suitable methods to facilitate their learning.
