In recent years, global health issues have frequently garnered public attention, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the importance of health education in schools. However, elementary school students generally lack knowledge about epidemics, and most passively absorb information, lacking the ability to proactively detect and respond. To address this need, this program, centered around the topic of "influenza," integrates cross-disciplinary instructional design across health and physical education, information technology, art, and reading. Drawing on real-life scenarios, it incorporates familiar theatrical performances and digital interactive methods, empowering students to master disease prevention and self-care skills in real life.
Therefore, this teaching plan emphasizes three core innovation concepts:
1. Life is a learning environment: The curriculum is closely linked to students' daily life experiences, internalizing health awareness into action.
2. Integrating diverse expressions with technology: Using techniques such as drama, dance, and tablet information sharing to enhance learning motivation.
3. Competency-Based Task-Based Learning: Focusing on performance-based tasks, students are encouraged to collaborate on creating epidemic prevention dances and health books. Through simulations and role-playing, students act out cold symptoms and learn about common cold care behaviors. Online interactions using tools like Padlet and Wordwall deepen health awareness. Combining epidemic prevention-themed reading materials with dance creations enhances reading comprehension and creativity.
