"Learning for the Future" 05/02 To help parents and teachers better understand the practice of international education in international schools, the briefing invited experts from Switzerland, the United States and China who have implemented international education for many years to analyze the benefits and necessity of international curriculum practice from the perspectives of international trends, adolescent physical and mental development, and social sustainability.
Swiss education experts say that implementing international education is not an easy task, but it is easier to implement in international schools. American experts mentioned that in a rapidly changing world, international courses guide students to develop thinking, communication, self-management, social and research skills in order to cope with a highly uncertain future.
The meeting also used OECD research to analyze curriculum design that better responds to the needs of the times. A curriculum that is one mile wide and one inch deep results in fragmented knowledge. The concept-based and inquiry-based learning approach of the nationality curriculum can improve this shortcoming and can collaborate in an international environment and learning communities. An international perspective will also lead students towards literacy-oriented learning and make them lifelong learners.
