The study aims to investigate the process of deepening learning in the early childhood behavior observing course. The study included students from two-year colleges of the childcare and education department at a private science and technology university. In view of students’feedback on assignments, the unit“Qualitative Observation Record”includes three sub-objectives“record,”“explanation,”and“application.”The learning content of the third sub-objective was revised during the 2018 academic year. The theories of“action learning”and“deliberate practice”are combined in this unit. The teaching strategies used real-life exercises, goal-based exercises, collaborative peer learning, and reflection. To better understand the effectiveness of student learning, students’quantitative analyses of this course’s teaching assessment of this course were conducted, and individual reflections after each sub-goal were qualitatively analyzed. According to the findings, students’evaluations of overall curriculum teaching and homework arrangement was higher on average in both the academic years 2018-2019 than in 2016-2017. Qualitative observation record gains and experience include: recognizing the value of a series of action learning, intentionally practicing to transform the mind, and recognizing one’s own progress while still facing challenges. Finally, reflections and suggestions on the practical process of this course are made. |
