An Introduction to Our Learning Process
The learning process of this semester involved a mix of many subject areas, taught in an experiential and communicative process. Students were given many skills with which to create, an overarching mission, and general guidelines about hoped for output. Throughout the process, we kept the goal of spreading information and helping homeless animals as the prime directive.
Learning was scaffolded with each step increasing in complexity, difficulty, and detail. Work followed the design process and involved multiple iterations. Responsibilities were sometimes personal, sometimes paired, and sometimes team-based in nature. Throughout the whole process, students and teachers collaboratively discussed progression and output of the project, jointly made decisions and adjustments, and shared critical and constructive feedback.
The skills that the students learned and practiced will be useful to them throughout their lives in academic, professional, and personal settings. The thinking challenges they faced have helped them contemplate and establish their values, personality, and individuality. From this experience the students have hopefully understood the importance of being a responsible and contributing member of society, and have realized that their actions, even as young students, can have a positive and real effect on the world in which they live.
本學期的學習過程涉及多門學科，結合多領域，透過體驗和意見交流的過程教授。學生們學習了許多可以用來創造的技能、被賦予了一項中心任務，以及希望能產出的結果的大方向。在整個過程中，我們始終圍繞著幫助無家的動物和傳播相關信息為首要方針。
學習藍圖的架構裏循序漸進的每一步的複雜性、難度和細節的增加，學習都被搭建起來了。工作遵循設計過程並涉及多次迭代。職責有時是個人的，有時是成對的，有時是基於團隊的。在整個過程中，師生共同討論項目的進展和產出，共同做出決策和調整，並分享批評性和建設性的反饋。
學生學習和實踐的技能將在他們一生的學術、專業和個人環境中對他們有用。他們面臨的思維挑戰幫助他們思考並確立了自己的價值觀、個性和個性。從這次經歷中，學生們希望了解成為一個負責任和有貢獻的社會成員的重要性，並意識到他們的行為，即使是年輕的學生，也可以對他們生活的世界產生積極和真實的影響。
