G100 Cultivates Skills Beyond the Classroom 天才100项目在课外培养学生更多技巧
“Are you ready?” Alana Martin-Haggarty, Years 6-8 Learning Community Leader at Yew Chung International School of Beijing, asks to a roomful of excited 10 to 13-year-olds.
“你准备好了吗?”北京耀中国际学校六到八年级学习社区主管Alana Martin-Haggarty向教室里一群10到13岁的学生问道。
“No!” the students inevitably chorus, but they are joking. The enthusiasm and energy are evident, eager to see the launch of an innovative new program: Genius 100.
“没有呢!”学生们异口同声地开玩笑地回答道。学生们的热情和活力点燃并启动了这个创新的教育项目:天才100。
“G100 challenges students to work through a process of continual research, building, and reflection to try to solve a problem or answer a question,” Martin-Haggarty told us the day before. “It follows the idea of brainstorming what you’re passionate about. It can be linked to the curriculum, but at other times it’s purely a passion project.”
“天才100这个项目挑战学生学习的各个方面,从持续的研究、分析及对解决问题方式方法的反思。”Alana Martin-Haggarty解释道。“它其实和头脑风暴式的一样,思考你对什么感兴趣。他可以和课程链接在一起,有时候就纯粹是一个激情的项目。”
But the students need to demonstrate more than just their own interest in the subject.
但学生需要展示的不仅仅是他们在学科上的兴趣那么简单。
“Once they have an idea they want to follow,” she continued, “they have to pitch their projects. They have to explain what their product will be, what they’re trying to achieve. Is it to help others, teach others or inform them about some problem or issue? Instead of ‘I’m going to research dolphins because I like dolphins’, we discuss how we can deepen the projects, link them to the real world.”
“一旦他们有想法了,他们就会去完善他们的项目。他们需要解释他们的产品是什么,以及他们的目标是什么。产品是用来帮助他人,还是教导他们,或者还是通知他们某些特定事项?我们不是说“我要去研究海豚,因为我喜欢海豚。”我们需要深化这些项目,让学生和现实世界连接起来。”
