The core goal of 21st-century education is to cultivate transferable competencies, emphasizing autonomous learning and the development of lifelong learning habits. It also promotes the integrated development of critical thinking, creativity, knowledge acquisition, and expressive abilities. This study adopted an action research approach and implemented the Systemic Standards-based Curriculum Design(SSCD, also referred to as S2) as the instructional framework for a course in educational psychology. The participants were 46 pre-service kindergarten teachers enrolled in the course. A flipped teaching model was employed: instructional content was converted into pre-class video lectures, while in-person sessions focused on in-depth discussions between students and between students and the instructor. The course aimed to deepen students’understanding of educational psychology concepts and to embody the pedagogical principle of“learning by doing and thinking in action,”thereby enhancing their professional competence as future early childhood educators. To evaluate the course’s effectiveness, both qualitative and quantitative data were collected, including learning notes, mind maps, and reflective feedback, as well as midterm exams, final exams, and quizzes. The findings suggest that the curriculum effectively stimulated students’motivation and thinking skills. Moreover, the process fostered the instructor’s reflection on curriculum design and the application of flipped teaching strategies. Overall, the course received highly positive feedback from students and demonstrated the potential benefits of integrating the SSCD framework with flipped teaching in teacher education. |
