Taitung County Taitung High School─Kitamachi Style Painting

When our school developed the 108 curriculum, a group of social studies teachers planned a local course "Baosang Investigation", which used Taitung's historical context, topography, landscape, and humanities and customs as the main axis of the course to explore the past, present, and development of Taitung. The course topics include units such as "Exploring the Origin of Baosang", "Southern Island Culture", "Baosang during the Qing Dynasty", "Baosang during the Japanese Colonization" and "Modern Baosang". The development of this course is in line with the image of our school's students "Cultivation of local care" has become one of the compulsory courses. In order to enable students to pay attention to the integration of study and life after acquiring subject knowledge, four "micro" courses (respectively "English Tour" and "Chinese Tour") are planned in the same semester when students take the "Baosang Exploration" course. , "Video Production" and "Image Soundtracking"), using multiple media to create artistic aesthetics, so that students can acquire "taken-away abilities" through practical guided tours and practical courses, thereby demonstrating the full potential of learners. Human development echoes the general outline and the school vision of "a high-quality holistic high school that explores talents and cultivates character." I still remember that the first semester of the 109 school year had not yet started, so I got in touch with the director of Minquan District Yu Daiyuan. A group of teachers went to Kitamachi to investigate, prepare and search for information together, and tried to use the Japanese-style buildings in Kitamachi during the Japanese occupation (one of the few in the country). The well-preserved buildings for senior officials, magistrates and school principals and staff dormitories are the subject of local courses in the 109th academic year. At the beginning of the semester, we used external resources to gain an in-depth understanding of Japanese architectural structures and spaces. Then the school teachers talked about the historical context of the Japanese colonial period and the past and present of the Kitamachi architectural complex. They also linked this idea to Mr. Yang, a retired teacher from Taitung Girls’ High School who was a resident of Kitamachi. , through their investment, the course has a foundation in localization. This not only has the flavor of the life of the Tusi people in the content, but can also be traced back to longer memories. Step out of the classroom and return to the stage of "Baosang" to reappear "micro history" and interrogate history through music stories, musical radio dramas, musical theaters, etc., in order to gain new innovative meanings and let that piece of history Land continues to play a dialectical role corresponding to the past, present and even future imagination. In order to enhance the depth and breadth of students' productions, the well-known documentary director Shang Ruobai was specially invited to share "film concepts" and "film soundtracks"; in addition, the author believes that if the work can be infused with storytelling, I believe it can deepen the connotation of the work. Yuan invited Professor Wang Youhui of Taitung University's Institute of Children's Literature to the school to lead "Student Writing Guidance: The Seven W's of Script Creation". This is a preliminary exploration of the development of cross-field aesthetic courses in Taitung High School. Continuing with the same theme, in the 109-2 semester, an assistant researcher from the National Museum of Prehistory is expected to lead students to explore the impact of "colonialism" on the economic life and culture of the Taiwanese people. The positioning of the four micro-courses is set as "local internationalization" to build an appropriate educational internationalization environment so that when the epidemic affects international exchanges, the curriculum internationalization strategy is introduced into school-based courses without affecting students' international education learning. The job is to have the ability and quality to conduct practical tours of local culture in Chinese, English or even Japanese, and will implement the concept of internationalization of the curriculum. Taitung is unique in its rich landforms and diverse cultures. Through the dual-track practical guided tour course and digital technology audio-visual production, students can experience bilingual international education and enhance their national cultural identity through real-life situations.
