This study explores the collaborative implementation of a cultural heritage education program between the Teacher Education Center of National Pingtung University and Ren’ai Elementary School in Pingtung City. It investigates the impact of the program on elementary students’learning outcomes and their development of a sense of place. The curriculum integrates experiential learning and project-based learning approaches, with Victory Star Village in Pingtung City designated as the primary site for instruction. The program was structured into four pedagogical stages:“sensory activation,”“meaning construction,”“creative expression and performance,”and“social advocacy and practice.”Through engaging in multisensory experiences with local cuisine, conducting interviews with residents, learning about local history, and participating in creative projects and public presentations, students developed both cognitive understanding and emotional connections to cultural heritage. Findings indicate that students not only acquired factual knowledge but also demonstrated increased affective engagement, including a growing sense of belonging and identification with their city and local heritage sites. Some students even transitioned from learners to advocates for cultural heritage preservation. Feedback from parents and the researchers’reflective observations further revealed that such curriculum enabled students to deepen their understanding of local history and community culture while actively participating in preservation initiatives. This study highlights the potential of cultural heritage education to enhance students’learning motivation, place-based identity, and civic literacy. It also provides a valuable reference for implementing place- based education. Future research could explore how various types of cultural heritage and instructional models influence students’learning and sense of place, and examine the long-term effects of such programs through a longitudinal framework. |
