從航太到學校科學──提供創新環境給青年STEM人才進行研究專題

From Aerospace to Science at School: Providing Creative Environments for Young STEM Talents’Research Projects

本文旨在介紹2022年於國立臺灣師範大學所舉辦的第十七屆亞太資優會議之專題演講「從航太到學校科學—提供創新環境給青年STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)人才進行研究專題」，演講者為服務於德國航太中心（Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e.V.，簡稱DLR）之Dr. Tobias Schüttler，他是德國航太中心學校實驗室(DLR_School_Lab)的負責人，該項目主要目的在於提供大學或高中有天賦學生校園外的真實科學實驗室，以連結和體驗物理教育中之航太科技，藉此研究科學教育之教學，推廣數理資賦優異教育，促進國際間合作與交流。Dr. Schüttler在演講之初透過其手中之視訊裝置，以第一人稱的現場視角，帶領我們深入擬真環境太空艙，以及航太中心的工作環境，此舉立即吸引現場所有觀眾的好奇目光。接著他分享參與德國航太中心學校實驗室計畫學生的學習現況，課程中強調(1)重視實驗與實作的經驗。(2)實驗與實作必須符合真實生活情境。(3)善用導師(tutoring)系統。讓與會大眾對於如何培育青年STEM人才，垂直整合資源，解決真實世界問題等面向，激發許多新想法。

This paper aims to introduce the keynote speech ''From Aerospace to Science at School: Providing Creative Environments for Young STEM Talents' Research Projects'' by Dr. Tobias Schüttler at the 17th Asia-Pacific Gifted and Talented Conference to be held at National Taiwan Normal University in 2022. Dr. Tobias Schüttler works at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), and serves as the head of the DLR School Lab. The primary purpose of the project is to provide gifted students at universities or high schools with out-of-school real science labs to experience physics, Aerospace science and technology in education. Moreover, another purpose is to explore various teaching approaches of science education, promote gifted education in mathematics and physics, and enhance international cooperation and exchanges. At the beginning of his speech, Dr. Schüttler led the audience through the video device and led us with a first-person live perspective into the heart of the aerospace center. This opening immediately attracted the attention of the audience. Then he shared the projects of the DLR School Lab program. The course emphasized (a) the learning experience through hands-on experiments, (b) practical experience and hands-on setting designed to mirror actual situations, and (c) utilization of tutoring system. Let the audience stimulate many new ideas on how to cultivate young STEM talents, vertically integrate resources, and solve real-world problems.
