TNUNAN Opera Concert: Culturally Responsive Teaching for Atayal Medical Talent Development
Sustainable Development Goals
Abstract/Objectives
Results/Contributions
### 1. Connecting Vision and Sustainable Goals This project upholds the cultural spirit of the Atayal tribe, which emphasizes "shared sharing, shared burdens." It is dedicated to transforming higher education resources into the local growth nutrients and shortening the urban-rural gap through "culture-responsive teaching." This phase of the project accurately aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: SDG 3 Good Health and Well-being, SDG 4 Quality Education, and SDG 10 Reduced Inequalities. By combining medical expertise with the musical talents of the Atayal people, we aim not only to cultivate talent but also to build a "sustainable music town" that possesses health resilience and cultural confidence. ### 2. Collaborative Efforts of Four Colleges: Transitioning from Camps to Systematic Courses To ensure the depth of educational impact, the project has transitioned from short-term camps to a systematic curriculum that integrates the professional fields of four departments from National Tsing Hua University: * **College of Education (Medical STEAM):** Introducing robotics courses and 3D stage animation design to transform complex medical science knowledge into attractive digital learning experiences while cultivating computational thinking in K-12 students. * **College of Arts (Music Education):** Resident artists and music students will engage deeply with the Atayal Academy, offering professional guidance in sight-singing, ear training, music theory, and instrumental skills to ground music education in the indigenous community. * **College of Humanities and Social Sciences (Cultural Translation):** By documenting the experiences of rural medical practitioners, we will translate the medical history of the Atayal into original novels and the musical script "The Atayal Doctor is Here," deepening ethnic identity. * **School of Biomedical Sciences and Post-Medicine (Medical Services):** Through the "Community and Rural Healthcare" course, medical students will enter the community for health screenings and internships, establishing a sustainable reserve of medical talent for rural areas. ### 3. Execution Results and Quantified Performance The project is expected to demonstrate significant outcomes between 2025 and 2026. Each academic year, we will offer 12 cross-disciplinary innovative courses and maintain four regular arts courses each semester at the Atayal Academy. Quantified indicators show that the participation rate of undergraduate students in interdisciplinary learning aims to rise to 80%. Additionally, the project will use the "MQ Motivation Quotient Scale" to scientifically monitor learning outcomes, with data indicating that this model effectively enhances the confidence of indigenous students in tackling mathematical and scientific subjects, significantly increasing their enthusiasm and willingness to engage in medical professions. ### 4. Social Impact and SROI Value Assessment This project introduces the SROI (Social Return on Investment) evaluation mechanism, adhering to stakeholder participation and transparency principles. Through strategic alliances with the Zhi-Shan Foundation and three collaborating hospitals, we not only preserve precious cultural assets such as Lmuhuw singing but also substantially improve the accessibility of medical resources in Tian'ang Township and Da'an Village. Moving forward, we will continue to optimize the "Historical Drama Concert" module, allowing culture and science to spark in the Atayal homeland, achieving a sustainable cycle of "shared well-being and happy indigenous communities."
