About Us
We were the only Graduate Institute of Science Education set in the east part of Taiwan since August 1997. And this also play the pioneer of all nine Teachers’ Colleges at that time.
Two inter-related goals set for the development of our Institute. One is research in science education and the other is promotion of teachers’ professional development in science teaching and research conducting. In order for achieving such goals, our program integrates theory into practice. Each faculty has his or her expertise and research lines in teaching and research. Our teaching also emphasizes hands-on activities including many outdoor explorations without ignoring minds-on critical thinking. In short, out program builds all of our teaching and research efforts upon major Constructivism principles.
