Guanpu Elementary School, Hsinchu City—"Architectural Poetry, Thought, and Teacher"

"Architectural Poetry, Thinking, and Teaching" is a cross-disciplinary integrated flexible course at Guanpu Elementary School. We consider using the architecture of the campus space as learning material, developing a dialogue symphony between school projects and curriculum, and then creating explorations into space, environment, aesthetics, social issues, etc., integrating and applying subject knowledge and expressing it in various creations.
Using the school's architectural features, we develop "Architectural Poetry, Thinking, and Teaching" as a cross-disciplinary flexible thematic course. Through the real interactive experience of people existing in architectural space, we construct "Guanpu Architecture" with "student learning as the main body". Let children be more aware and perceptive about learning topics in real situations. With problem awareness, they can set their own learning goals in the course and communicate with people, knowledge and the real world to solve the problems they encounter. The theme course "Architecture Poetry, Thinking, and Teaching" is based on the "image of learners" and considers how to create a better "spontaneous, interactive, and shared" space through the shaping of campus space. It also develops "meaningful" curriculum plans and teaching activities through the course teaching orientation of "exploratory experience, hands-on practice, collaborative learning, problem-oriented, and creative design." Therefore, the overall curriculum teaching will take students as the main body of learning, and through teaching interactions that can connect to life experiences, cultivate Guanpu children with sensitivity, thinking and action, and connect and develop the following core literacy:
Autonomous action: exploring and perceiving the relationship between spatial environment and daily life
Communication and interaction: Use multiple representations to explain and communicate personal experiences or insights to others
Social participation: Proper use of space, rationality of relevant regulations, and cultivation of civic awareness and social care
