   Implement whole-class gifted education at all levels, and infiltrate the "Thirteen Styles of Higher-Order Thinking" into the classroom. Use different ways to think about problems, which help students to create a flexible thinking mode.

• Thirteen types of higher-order thinking:
  Timeline (commonly used in narrative/story), an alternative method (creative), feature enumeration (person/object characteristic enumeration), multiple viewpoints (thinking about one thing from different perspectives), comprehensive factors, inferred consequences, tree classification, two-sided thinking ( Debate/discussion/seeing things from opposite angles), comparing similarities and differences, extending influence (immediate-short-term-long-term), wonderful relationship, mutual capture psychology, cyclic change (the image is more complex with abstract thinking),
• The second type of high-level thinking:
  Six methods, seven-color rainbow (six thinking hats)

 

2. Scientific inquiry

   Emphasis is placed on developing students' scientific minds. Through various scientific experiments, students can develop their ability to explore and solve problems, develop students' spirit of inquiry, and develop students' ability to "learn to learn".

 

3. Technology Learning

   Students learn according to theme-based learning, applying hypotheses, exploration, testing, verification and other methods to investigate. Students need to test their hypotheses with experiments, find answers, and then make models.
