(CNA Reporter Chen Chih-chung, Taipei, 16th) The Ministry of Education today awarded excellent lesson plans for three major issues for the 114th academic year. Chien Yu-chien, a teacher at the junior high division of Lioujia High School in Hsinchu County, designed activities for students with emotional distress, teaching "Social Emotional Learning" knowledge through identifying physiological warnings and "five-finger breathing."
The Ministry of Education called for lesson plans on food and agriculture education, intergenerational education, and social emotional learning this year, inviting primary and secondary school teachers to submit their work and integrate these issues into the curriculum.
In recent years, students' stress resilience and emotional management have gained societal attention. Often, there is a lack of self-awareness and coping skills. Through the "Stop-Think-Do: Flipping Impulse Circuits Social Emotional Learning Behavioral Intervention Course," Lioujia High School teacher Chien Yu-chien guides students to identify physiological warnings, such as a sudden rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, and muscle tension, which may indicate anger or anxiety.
Chien teaches students the "five-finger breathing" technique. By adjusting their breathing while tracing the edge of their palms, students can stabilize and relax their emotions, calming down to think before taking the next step to avoid acting on impulse.
The excellent lesson plan for "Intergenerational Education" was awarded to "Why Are My Grandparents So Cute?" a collaboration between Lin Sheng-chih and Peng Hsiao-yen, teachers at Yuandong Junior High School in Hsinchu County. Through a four-stage course starting with a grandparent-grandchild interaction survey, it closely relates to students' life experiences. Using audio-visual resources and situational role-play, it helps students perceive generational differences and re-understand their interactions with their grandparents.
The excellent lesson plan for "Food and Agriculture Education" is "A Good Pig Idea: An Exploration Journey of Domestic Pork," designed by Liu Chin-hao, a teacher at Chongqing Junior High School in Taipei City. Starting from daily dining table experiences, it leads students to learn about the breeds, part characteristics, and culinary applications of domestic pork. It also incorporates issues like African swine fever and includes board games and cooking activities, allowing students to learn the importance of supporting domestic agricultural products and cherishing food resources through hands-on experience.
The Ministry of Education stated that the excellent lesson plan results will be shared through the "CIRN National Primary and Secondary School Curriculum and Instruction Resource Integration Platform" to provide references for teachers' instruction. (Editor: Wu Su-jou) 1150416
