Focusing丨小学IPC学年第一课:探探你的“脑电波”!


上学年,福州西湖国际学校在小学课程中加入了IPC, 即国际小学课程。这是一个以主题式学习为主的课程,我们的孩子在未来的就业市场上将会面临许多如今尚未发明的工作,这一课程就是为他们所设计、帮助他们做好准备的。

Last year FLIS introduced a new addition to our curriculum.  The IPC, which stands for International Primary Curriculum, is a theme-based learning curriculum designed for students who are getting ready to enter the job market in a world where the jobs of tomorrow haven’t even been invented yet.



研究表明,学生在学习时若能理解生理学习过程,即学习时人体的脑内活动,他们便能学得更好。因此,每学年之初,学生都会学习一个叫做“脑电波(Brainwave)”的单元,在这一单元的学习中,学生会了解到自己学习时大脑内部发生的事,也会了解该如何激励自己学习,并成为未来社会中独立的全球公民。
Studies show that understanding the physiological process of learning, the things happening inside the brain while one is learning, creates better students.  Because of this fact, at the beginning of every year, students study a unit called "Brainwave" which teaches kids what their brains are going through as they learn, allowing them to understand how to motivate themselves, study, and become independent global citizens of the future.  



在IPC课程中,孩子们可以学习如何改善他们自己的学习质量,他们会吸收最新的科学研究告诉我们的、有关学习的知识,以及如何将这些理论运用到自己的学习中来。IPC将学习分为三个版块:知识、技能与理解。纵观整个学年,孩子们会通过纷繁多样的主题学习强化自己的技能,深化自己的知识领域,获得对宇宙全新的理解。
The IPC teaches kids how to affect the quality of their own learning, what some of the most recent scientific studies have taught us about learning, and how to apply these theories to their own learning.  The IPC breaks down learning into 3 areas: knowledge, skills, and understanding.  And all year, kids will use the various themes of IPC to enhance their skills, deepen their knowledge, and come to a new understanding about the universe.


一年级的Alex老师与二年级的Mike老师在上周的IPC单元切入点课程中打扮成了科学家的样子!他们向孩子们介绍了奇妙的脑内世界,并用果冻制作了大脑模型,令孩子得以理解大脑内部的形状。孩子们在愉快的学习过后,也享用了美味的果冻。
Mr. Alex Taylor and Mr. Mike Allen, first and second grade teachers, dressed up as scientists in order to introduce the kids to the wonderful world of the brain, and created a model brain out of jelly to show kids what their brain looks like on the inside.  They told kids about neurons and the connections that form as kids grow, develop skills, and learn new things.  Kids learned a lot and enjoyed the jelly most of all.

接下来,学生们将会在IPC课程中学习更多主题相关的新知识、新技能!我们希望借此培养全新的、成功的世界公民,适应飞速变幻的未来世界,占据一席之地。家长也可以问问孩子们对于“学习”都有哪些收获!他们的回答或许会令您感到惊讶哦。

Coming up in IPC kids will be introduced to many new ideas and skills, thematically linked, all aimed at producing new, successful citizens, who can operate smoothly in tomorrow's hyper-changing world.  Go ahead and ask your kids what they have learned about learning.  Their answers might surprise you.
