林宜慧博士目前是台北市立大學師資培育及職涯發展中心專案助理教授。

林博士的研究主軸有：幼兒STEAM教育、幼兒教師課程設計思維、科技融入課程，以及幼兒課程發展等面向。

• 幼兒STEAM課程：探討如何透過跨學科學習促進幼兒（特別是資賦優異者）的問題解決與創意思維，並設計能滿足高階認知需求的課程，培養自主學習能力。

• 教師課程設計思維：以設計思維為核心，發展適用於幼兒教育的課程設計模型，提升教師幼兒課程規劃能力，強調同理心與個別化學習策略。

• 幼兒園師資培育：聚焦職前與在職幼兒園教師的專業能力養成，涵蓋課程設計、教學策略、科技應用與班級經營，透過理論與實務並重的培訓模式，培養能因應多元幼兒需求的專業師資。

• 科技融入幼兒教育：探究數位工具與互動式科技玩具在幼兒STEAM課程中的多元應用，深入分析AI學習、AR/VR及智慧教玩具對幼兒學習體驗與參與度的提升效果，同時關注教師在科技採用上的接受度與專業成長，促進教與學的創新發展。

Dr. Yi-Hui Lin is currently an Assistant Professor at the Center for Teacher Education and Career Development at the University of Taipei. 

Dr. Lin’s research focuses on four key areas: Early Childhood STEAM Education, Design Thinking in Curriculum Design, Preschool Teacher Education, and Technology Integration in Early Childhood Education.

• Early Childhood STEAM Education: Investigates how interdisciplinary learning can foster young children’s (especially gifted learners’) problem-solving and creative thinking skills, and designs curricula that meet higher-order cognitive demands to cultivate self-directed learning abilities.

• Design Thinking in Curriculum Design: Centers on design thinking as a framework to develop curriculum models suited for early childhood education, enhancing teachers’ ability to plan and implement developmentally appropriate curricula, with an emphasis on empathy and individualized learning strategies.

• Preschool Teacher Education: Focuses on the professional development of both pre-service and in-service preschool teachers, encompassing curriculum design, teaching strategies, technology integration, and classroom management. Adopts a balanced approach combining theory and practice to prepare competent educators capable of addressing diverse needs in early childhood settings.

• Technology Integration in Early Childhood Education: Explores the diverse applications of digital tools and interactive technology toys in early childhood STEAM curricula, analyzing how AI learning, AR/VR, and smart educational toys can enhance children’s learning experiences and engagement. Also examines teachers’ acceptance of technology and their professional growth to promote innovative teaching and learning.
