Mr Hsiao considers that education is about
identifying
the route for pursuance of one’s goal. I think education is
about
extracting knowledge from textbooks and doing what I like.
Reaching goal is great. I think both Junyi and Mr Hsiao are
in
pursuance of greatness.

Mother of Hao-cing Chih forbids him
from using
computer related equipment in his learning. That is somehow
not
in line with objective of Junyi. However, I can recall a very
remarkable statement made by Mr Benny Hsiao during his
interview.
He said that learning is something that one should do every day in
fixed duration and schedule. You can benefit from it by
spending
15 minutes on the Junyi platform every day. I have to do what
Mr
Hsiao has said and spend 5 minutes every day on Junyi.

I was impressed by Mr Hsiao’s statement regarding
learning. He
believes learning at desired tempo of every child is the ideal model of
education. Some are fast learner whereas some take
longer. The fast
learner can choose to learn more or be promoted to next
level. It is
ok for the slower ones who take their time to continue at the tempo
that each of them chooses. The can still move up the ladder
slowly.

Mr Benny Hsiao wishes every pupil gets to learn
at his own tempo.
In that case, we will have aligned progress and worsened
problem. I
think Mr Benny Hsiao has made a very good choice. Such
teaching would
not affect the self-confidence of pupils.

If a pupil accesses the Junyi platform for lessons
conducted at
his desired pace and according to his requirements, he would attain a
higher sense of achievement. It is just like the approach
called
“aptitude oriented teaching” proposed by Confucius. User gets
to
choose and takes initiative to learn the content. Taking into
account
individual degree of readiness, a user would achieve better result with
such unconventional mean.

Mr Benny Hsiao spoke at moderate pace which makes
our
post-interview work easier. We have had two successful
interviews
today. Both of them belong to my team. This means
my team
only has to manage the equipment next time. I think the other
way
and want to stay an interviewer.

Ms Jiang didn’t believe all at once about the
benefit of
the Junyi platform as expressed by Mr Shin-chou Fang.
Instead,
she asked her pupils to play with the platform and found that it is
capable of improving pupils’ grades. One has to personally
experience something before commenting instead of believing in preacher
completely.

Ms Shu-Chuang Chiang said that the roll-out of
the Junyi
platform was triggered by the speech of Mr Shin-chou Fang. To
evaluate the effectiveness of the platform, she started with a small
group of Grade 6 pupils, who were a bit behind in their mathematics,
and spent lunch breaks with them on Junyi in the computer
classroom. After a short period, the group members scored at
least 80 in mathematics in examination. They used to fail the
normal and mid-term examinations. This proved that the
platform
is effective. Eventually, the rollout was extended to Grade 3
to
6 and that’s why we are using the Junyi platform
now.

According to Ms Shu-Chuang Chiang, the founder of
Junyi
Academy aims at helping the underprivileged children. Their
families endure low incomes and cannot afford evaluation handbooks and
reference materials. However, they can access the platform as
long as their families or schools provide computers, tablets or
handphones. Ms Shu-Chuang Chiang often tells us the benefit
of
Junyi. I want to give her my gratitude for her devotion of
time
and energy.

I was deeply touched by Ms Shu-Chuang Chiang who
managed
the rollout of the Junyi platform in our school.
I’ve made major mistakes. When I was
filming the
interviews, I undeliberately covered the lens with my hand. A
footage was blackened. When I was copying video files, I
carelessly deleted the file without prior check. The video
cannot
be replayed. I won’t make the same mistakes again.

Ms Shu-Chuang Chiang is a very good
interviewee who
provided comprehensive descriptions. Her audiences may even
mentally make her descriptions into vivid images.
There aren’t many people who are capable of making
comprehensive verbal descriptions like Ms Shu-Chuang Chiang.
One
has to read a lot and learn the descriptive skills.
Hopefully, we
can be as good as Ms Jiang in the future.

Ms Jiang told us a lot about her early
days when
she joined Changan Elementary School. I was surprise that our
school maintains such position as System Manager. Also, I
found
that it was Ms Jiang who created the on-line discussion group for each
grade. I wasn’t aware until Ms Jiang told me that she rolled
out
the Junyi platform primarily for encouraging the pupils who have poor
grades and that the Junyi Club was the result of many years’ of
experience in motivation of pupils.
