To align with the Education Bureau's Chinese History Curriculum Guide, this project employs Virtual Reality (VR) technology to design Chinese history teaching materials. This enables secondary school students to learn Chinese history through first-person "immersion" and "experience," while also enhancing positive psychology. Engaging EdUHK students in this project leverages innovative technology to elevate teaching quality, cultivate professional excellence, and ethical responsibility, achieving EdUHK's educational leadership goals.
During the 2022/23 academic year, the project collaborated with NetDragon to host five VR training sessions, enhancing participants' familiarity with VR teaching. Participants apply relevant theories and skills to teaching. Also utilizing the "VR Mysticraft+" software to create teaching materials showcasing positive psychological traits of Chinese historical figures such as Emperor Taizong of Tang, Zhuge Liang, and Hongwu Emperor (Zhu Yuanzhang). These traits correspond to virtues like kindness, magnanimity, and judgment. Participants have been continuously refining the materials after conducting trial teachings at partnered schools in July, 2023. The project aims to create six positive psychology VR teaching materials centered on Chinese historical figures and available for adoption in schools.
