Taiwan’s New Pedagogies for Deep Learning and Canada’s Ottawa Catholic School Board held a video conference earlier this month to discuss the latest trends and practices in deep learning, as well as artificial intelligence applications, according to the Ministry of Education Oct. 22.
 
Facilitated by the MOE K-12 Education Administration, the event was participated in by educational staff from the two organizations. The Taiwan group was led by National Taiwan Normal University professor Chen Pei-ying, and included I-Shou International School Principal Roger Lee Chien-wei and principals, directors and teachers from national, Taipei and New Taipei City schools, while Canadian representatives were headed by OCSB Director Tom D’Amico and comprised academics and vice principals.
 
According to the MOE, Taiwan participants expounded on the 2019 Curriculum Guidelines for 12-Year Basic Education goal to equip students with cross-disciplinary and critical thinking. The ministry also said it is important for students to strike a balance between using AI technology and maintaining critical reflection on its consequences.
 
During the meeting, OCSB representatives shared Canada’s latest measures to promote deep learning in senior high schools, including designing effective teaching methods, cultivating critical thinking through use of AI technology, and raising active participation in class and academic progress through collaborative research.
 
The meeting inspired participants in the deep learning field, the K-12 Education Administration said, adding that they will continue to strengthen cooperation to contribute further to global educational development.
