【國際交流】臺日STEAM教育跨國合作

STEM教育國際碩士學位學程教師古芷蓉助理教授於2026年10月4日至9日前往日本九州大學進行學術交流。本次交流獲國立屏東大學115年度跨國研究補助計畫「跨國STEAM教育創新：整合代數思維、設計認識論與自主學習成效預測之研究」支持，與日本九州大學藝術工學研究院（Faculty of Design）未來設計學系（Department of Design Futures）Leon Loh助理教授進行STEAM、科技教育及設計導向學習相關研究交流。

交流期間，古芷蓉助理教授受邀於九州大學 Design in General Education 課程進行全英語授課，分享臺灣STEAM教育從政策到中小學課堂實踐的發展；並與Loh教授一同前往廣島市立祇園東中學進行教育參訪，與該校校長及科技科教師 Mr. Igari Katsuya交流，從第一線教學現場深入了解日本中學科技教育的推動現況，並討論臺日兩地STEAM與科技教育的實務經驗。

此次交流也將延續至屏東大學。11月Loh教授將訪問本校，並由教育學院STEM教育國際碩士學位學程規劃及接待，預計進行課程共授、與學程師生進行圓桌交流，並參訪臺灣的中小學，為後續臺日合作研究與跨國課程發展進行準備。

從研究交流、課程共授到教育現場互訪，本學程將持續拓展國際學術網絡，為師生創造更多跨國學習、研究與合作的機會🌏！

Strengthening Taiwan–Japan Collaboration in STEAM Education

From October 4–9, 2026, Dr. Chih-Jung Ku, Assistant Professor in the International Master Program of STEM Education at National Pingtung University (NPTU), visited Kyushu University for academic exchange and research collaboration.

Supported by NPTU’s 2026 International Research Grant, the visit provided an opportunity to further develop collaboration with Dr. Leon Loh, Assistant Professor in the Department of Design Futures, Faculty of Design, Kyushu University, in the areas of STEAM education, technology education, and design-based learning.

During the visit, Dr. Ku was invited to deliver an English-medium session in Kyushu University’s Design in General Education course, sharing Taiwan’s STEAM education development from national policy to K–12 classroom practices. Dr. Ku and Dr. Loh also visited Hiroshima Municipal Gion Higashi Junior High School, where they exchanged ideas with the school principal and technology teacher Mr. Igari Katsuya, gaining first-hand insights into technology education in Japanese schools and discussing STEAM practices in Taiwan and Japan.

And the collaboration continues! 🌏

In November, Dr. Loh will visit NPTU, hosted by the International Master Program of STEM Education, College of Education. The visit will include co-teaching, a roundtable discussion with faculty and students, and visits to Taiwanese schools, laying the groundwork for future Taiwan–Japan collaborative research and international curriculum development.

From research exchange and EMI co-teaching to school visits and future collaborative research, our program will continue expanding its international academic network and creating more opportunities for students and faculty to learn, connect, and collaborate across borders. 🌏
