Since the implementation of the curriculum guidelines of 12-year basic education, inquiry and hands-on teaching methods have been emphasized by schools at all levels. Most of the research focuses on K-12 education from kindergarten, elementary school to secondary school, but few related studies are at vocational and technological college or university level. Therefore, this study adopted the purposive sampling method and invited 20 students from the Department of Fashion Design of a university of science and technology in southern Taiwan to participate in this study. An action research was conducted during the one-semester teaching to understand participants’ learning status through the contents of the learning portfolio in order to explore the effectiveness of the implementation of inquiry-based teaching with a topic-based curriculum. The study introduced a model with step-by-step procedures: “Question, Collection/Analysis, Discussion, Explanation, Amendment, and Confirmation Inquiry Model” (QC/ADEAC Inquiry Model). This study found that the use of step-by-step QC/ADEAC inquiry model teaching can achieve the goal of student-centered, and enhance student learning performance in expressing their creativity and finding solutions to problems, and effectively help students narrow down a topic for the project-based practical course. However, the researcher needs to provide adequate consultation in the beginning of implementation because the participants were not familiar with this teaching method. In addition, the results of this study provide teaching reference for vocational school teachers in teaching “project-based” courses, and help students to produce practical works in the courses, which can be important material when applying for universities in the future. |
