VIII. Teaching Reflection
As a summary of my teaching design, based on the big idea of this unit, the core competences are listed and teaching objectives are set. In order to achieve the objectives, I have designed hierarchical activities and multi-modal assignments. So you can see they are core competence- oriented and student-centered. In addition, process evaluation design runs through the whole teaching process, including teaching activity and assignment evaluation, helping to achieve the integration of teaching, learning and evaluation. What;s more, the cross-disciplinary concept is presented in that students are inspired to draw a portrait of Beethoven in arts classes, learn how to be a conductor with our music teacher and try to depict how they feel when listening to music during psychology classes, so as to promote the education of five domains simultaneously, just as Cai Yuanpei advocated. Lastly here is my references from various resources. Thank you for you listening.
