With the “Finland Education in China” program in the spring of 2018, the expert team of Finnish International Education Innovation Research Institute visited Chongqing Shanhu Experimental Primary School again to carry out a one-week in-depth training. The teachers at Shanhu Primary School first reported their reflections on their teaching as well as results after the pre-training. The executive president of FEDUCATION, Dr. Dong Li introduced the Finnish expert team and explained the theme and design concept for the training, as well as the training objectives and tasks.
This training centered on interdisciplinary teaching design and practical seminars. Class demonstrations and feedback from experts helped Shanhu teachers grasp the essence and experience of Finnish education in a more comprehensive manner. The Finnish experts also gave lectures on several different topics.
In order to help the teachers at the Shanhu Education Group better understand and apply in practice what they have learned in the training, the Finnish expert team also presented excellent interdisciplinary class demonstrations designed for Chongqing Shanhu Primary School: Science, PE, English,Home Economics, Mathematics and Programming. They also provided professional feedback and guidance on the presentations of the Shanhu teachers and shared the curriculum design concept with them after the class.
In the academic and scientific research discussions during the training, the Finnish education experts and the teachers at Shanhu Education Group conducted extensive interactive exchanges on the question of how to choose school-based resources and develop and apply them comprehensively and effectively. Shanhu teachers proposed that in the past year, through the cooperation with FEDUCATION and its team of education experts, the school has vigorously promoted project learning, and teachers have actively carried out resource development and curriculum integration.
