Sustainable Development Goals

Abstract/Objectives

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is an instructional approach distinct from conventional methods, emphasizing student-centered learning by exploring real-world issues to achieve knowledge and skill acquisition objectives. This course will utilize the old city area of Hsinchu City as the learning environment, employing the PBL method to guide students in discovering issues, integrating theoretical knowledge with practical application, and developing viable solutions to problems, thus fostering unique experiential learning encounters. Collaborating with Chiba University in Japan and local high schools, this course will see Tsing-Hua students teaming up with students from Chiba University and local high schools for a continuous nine-day PBL workshop.

Results/Contributions

This course includes learning content such as "ORID Focus Discussion Method", "Field Practice Practice", "Service Design", etc., with "Hsinchu City Old Town Cultural Translation" as the main theme. Under the cross-cultural and cross-school mixed team, students will deeply explore various corners of the city, extract cultural contexts and meanings, integrate cross-cultural perspectives through service design, collaborate with local communities and organizations, and develop innovative proposals for translating and marketing urban culture. In the class, students will learn about the historical and cultural relations and differences between Taiwan and Japan, cultivate local practical abilities, establish SDGs local sustainable perspectives, learn design thinking processes, apply them to solving social problems, enhance interdisciplinary cooperation, cross-cultural communication skills, and team cohesion processes, and develop team cooperation skills.
