感染是一種能量

Contagious as a Power

感染和探索是兩個好的詞句，即使在災害頻仍中，我仍然喜歡這二字。

感染

笑聲是感染，熱情是感染，獲得靈感也是一種感染。我們常聆聽優秀人士的演講精彩的故事，對於我而言，我認為這些人之所以有感染力，因為他們都有「我做得到」這種感染力。

我做得到

有一個問題，為什麼只有他們有感染力？世界上有六十多億人口，台灣也有二千三百萬人。為什麼這麼少？是這些人特別幸運？機會特別多？難道我們不能自願被感染嗎？

我在去年到復興，我持續探索課程，不斷改善課程設計，希望孩子能建立「我做得到」的自信心。我發現，如果把探索學習融入生活中，打破學校和生活中的界線，孩子在生活中會產生自覺，看到事物需要改變的地方，然後有能力改變自己，進而施展所長，帶領大家促成改變，如此可以真正提升學生成就感，孩子能力因而變強，不會徬徨無助。

這些想必各位都明白，我想讓各位看一下，平常復興的孩子上甚麼課程，一群五年級的孩子在上甚麼課，十一年級的孩子爬雪山。

 

Contagious and explore are good words. Even in the times of disasters, I like the two words.

Contagious

 Laughter is contagious, passion is contagious. Inspiration is contagious. We’ve heard some remarkable stories from some remarkable speakers. But for me, what was contagious about all of them was they were influence by something I call the“ I can” bug.

I can

  So, the question is, why only them? In the world of six billion people and some. In Taiwan of 23 million people and some. Why so few? Is it luck? Is it chance? Can we all not systematically and consciously get infected?

  When I started Taipei Fuhsing Private School last year, I continue explore curriculum, a lab to prototype and refine a design process that could consciously infect the mind with the “I can “ bug. And I uncovered, that if explore learning is embedded in real- world context, that if you blur the boundaries between school and life, then children go through a journey of aware, where they can see the change, enable, be changed, and then empower, lead the change. And that directly increased student wellbeing. Children became more competent and less helpless.

  But this was all common sense. So, I’d like to show you a little glimpse of what common practice looks like Taipei Fuhsing Private School . A little background: When my grade (five) was learning about child rights, and eleven grade student were made to clime the Snow Mountain.
