Taiwan has opened its higher education institutions to admit degree-seeking students from mainland China since 2011. However cross-strait educational exchanges are significantly influenced by the state of cross-strait relations. This study employs the concept of“teacher empowerment”, examining the background of cross-strait relations and factors affecting educational content. This study, conducted between April 22, 2022, and June 30, 2022, during the COVID-19 period, successfully interviewed eight university professors in the field of social sciences using the combinations of in-person and online ''in-depth interview method.'' The research findings indicate that teachers' cross-cultural sensitivity, fear of negative evaluations, social risk awareness, the state of cross-strait relations, mainland Chinese students' backgrounds, and feedback given to teachers all influence the teacher empowerment in Taiwanese classrooms. In university classrooms combing the mainland Chinese students, teaching strategies for guiding discussions on relatively sensitive social issues include the ''empathy and diversity inclusion strategy,'' ''indirect topic selection strategy,'' ''prevention and self-disclosure strategy,'' ''flipped education strategy,'' '' postponing the timeliness strategy,'' and ''factual strategy.'' Furthermore, during the COVID-19 period of online courses, professors also incorporated online teaching strategies, such as the ''telepresence strategy'' and the '' ensuring content accuracy for self-protection strategy.'' Du to the geographical distance from mainland Chinese students and the strained state of cross-strait relations, the uncertainty of privacy risks increased. The increased uncertainty of privacy risks had also raised the risks that both teachers and students must bear when discussing sensitive issues in online classes. |
