簡介
環境教育除了提供有關環境的資訊，更旨在提高學生對環境議題的認識與覺察、加強學生批判性思考的能力，以及改變學生對自然環境的態度。這些環境教育的組成部份，有助培養學生對保護環境的承擔與責任，使他們實踐可持續發展的生活方式。
講者將在是次通識午餐聚會分享她如何在通識教育課程中進深探討環境教育。講者將以她任教的大學通識科目UGEB3630「海洋探秘」的課程設計為例，闡述她如何鞏固學生對海洋科學的認識之餘，擴展學生的好奇心，最終使學生領會海洋環境的價值，並在課堂完結後仍能實踐課堂的所思所學。
Brief Description
Environmental education is more than providing information about the environments. It should also have the component of increasing students’ awareness and knowledge of environmental issues, enhancing individuals’ critical-thinking, changing attitudes and developing a sense of responsibility to take action to conserve nature by living a sustainable life.
In this GE lunch seminar, the speaker would share with us how to go deeper with environmental education in General Education Programme. The speaker would share with us her course design in UGEB3630 Exploring the Enigmatic Oceans, in consolidating students’ understanding of ideas about marine science, extending curiosity, and finally, allowing students to appreciate the value of our marine environment and to take action beyond lectures.
講者簡介
崔佩怡博士是海洋生物學家、環境保育者、水下攝影師，以及海洋愛好者。崔博士在香港中文大學取得環境科學碩士及生物學博士學位，並於2016年起在中大生命科學學院任職講師。崔博士的研究興趣包括珊瑚初階段成長研究、幼苗入添量調查，以及有性繁殖培育珊瑚的復育工作。作為一個忠實的科普學者及環境保育者，崔博士熱心參與香港的社區外展及教育活動，多年以來曾四十多次為院校、漁農自然護理署、世界自然基金會香港分會、香港電台以及香港科學館等機構和團體，就珊瑚及海洋保育擔任專題講者。崔博士豐富的公開演講經驗，使她善於通過故事深入淺出講解科學知識。崔博士在2018年正式啟動外展項目「珊瑚學院」，通過不同類型的活動，提升學生和公眾對海洋保育的關注，以實際行動保育海洋。在海洋環境保育這個議題上，崔博士成為連接大專及中學的橋樑，並持續向學生和公眾傳達海洋環境教育的正面訊息。
崔博士在任教的海洋生物及保育科目，皆採用學習者為中心的教學方法。這使她獲得了2018年度理學院模範教學獎、2017-18年度逸夫書院通識教育科目優秀教學表現獎、2017年度校長模範教學獎，以及2017年度通識教育模範教學獎。崔博士對珊瑚及珊瑚保育的熱情，以及她作為海洋科學家的第一手經驗，不單激發學生的學習興趣及好奇心，亦使學生在知識及情感上，承擔起保護自然的責任 。
Speaker's Bio
Dr. Chui Pui Yi Apple is a marine biologist, conservationist, underwater photographer, and ocean lover. Dr. Chui obtained her M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees in Environmental Science and Biology programs from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), and has been a lecturer in CUHK since 2016. Her research interests include coral larval ecology, coral recruitment dynamics and reef restoration using sexually reared corals. As a committed scientific communicator and devoted conservationist, Dr. Chui has been actively engaged in community outreach and education activities in Hong Kong. Throughout the years, Dr. Chui has been invited to speak in over 40 public seminars on marine and coral conservation for various organizations, including schools, the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD), World Wildlife Fund Hong Kong (WWFHK), Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK), and Hong Kong Science Museum. With practice and experience in public speaking, she has learnt to become a storyteller of science, making science easier to understand. In 2018, Dr. Chui officially launched an outreach program “Coral Academy”, to raise students and public’s awareness and inspire action in marine conservation through various workshop activities. Dr. Chui serves as a bridge between marine environmental education in the tertiary sector and secondary schools, and consistently conveying a positive image of marine environmental education to her students as well as to the wider public.
Her learner-centered teaching approach in marine biology and conservation courses has earned her the Faculty Exemplary Teaching Award 2018, Outstanding Teaching Performance for College General Education Course 2017-18 of Shaw College, the Vice-Chancellor's Exemplary Teaching Award 2017 and Exemplary Teaching Award in General Education 2017. It is Dr. Chui’s first-hand experiences as a marine scientist and her passion on coral and conservation research that arouse students’ interest and curiosity, so that the students not only learn intellectually but, connect emotionally and take responsibility to conserve nature.
