Design and Technology Curriculum Information(Secondary one to three )

Vision:

Praise the Lord! With the launch of the new academic structure, the subject has undergone numerous trials and attempts, finally establishing the "Creative Learning Center." This subject has successfully improved the traditional Design and Technology curriculum, creating a school-based interdisciplinary creative technology program for junior secondary students that aligns with modern trends and caters to the needs of students and societal development. 

At the same time, it encourages students to make good use of information technology, enhancing their technological awareness and literacy, and deepening their understanding of technological advancements. This has significantly increased students' interest in learning the subject. It equips students to face the rapid technological developments of the present and the future, helping them adapt to the present and create a brighter future. 

With gratitude for God’s guidance, we hope students can effectively utilize what they have learned, make good use of their talents, give back to society, and glorify God!

Learning Objectives:

1.Integrating Knowledge and Skills
 Students will be able to integrate their knowledge and skills, unleash creativity, solve problems, learn collaborative thinking, and develop an innovative spirit and critical thinking. They will transition from "the teacher wants me to learn" to "I want to understand why" and ultimately ignite the motivation and ability to say, "I can solve problems independently."

2.Enhancing Technological Application Skills and Confidence
Students will master emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and 3D printing. They will apply these skills in daily learning and interdisciplinary practical projects, actively participating in diverse activities to enhance their initiative and confidence in learning.

3.Integrating Design Thinking and Values
 Using design thinking to solve real-world problems, students integrate humanistic care and Christian values throughout the learning process. They internalize ethical principles into practice, fostering a learning attitude that is both innovative and responsible.

4.Fostering National Identity and Pride
 By studying significant national engineering achievements, students will recognize the country’s technological accomplishments, enhancing their national identity and pride. These examples will serve as inspiration, motivating them to pursue excellence in learning and practice.
