通識午餐聚會 GE Lunch Seminar

任教生動而具學術挑戰的化學通識科目
Teaching Vivid and Academically-Challenging General Education Courses in Chemistry

簡介

化學是研究分子操作的學科。生活週遭每一項的材料都離不開化學，舉例來說，化妝品、塑膠和殺蟲劑雖然表面看來截然不同，但它們都是石油製品。儘管化學在日常生活中很重要，但同學往往難以理解這個學科。這是因為我們不能單憑肉眼觀察原子，也難以直接觀察不同的化學反應如何改變週遭環境。講者將在是次通識午餐聚會，分享他的教學法，並重點解說他如何將化學變成同學易於觸摸和欣賞的學科。。

Brief Description

Chemistry is the study of molecule manipulation. It is about the study of matter and its properties. Matter around us is all related to chemistry. For instance, although cosmetics, plastics and pesticides look apparently different, they are all made from petroleum. Despite the importance of chemistry in life, the subject itself is regarded by most students as difficult. It is because we cannot visualize atoms by the naked eyes and definitely we cannot appreciate chemical reactions which shape the environment around us. In this GE lunch seminar, the speaker would like to share his teaching methodology, with emphasis on how to make chemistry touchable and appreciable by the students..

講者簡介 

黃暉博士是香港中文大學化學系講師。黃博士任教多個通識科目，包括：UGEB2380「生命化學」、UGEB2410「動感化學」以及GECC1131「大學修學指導：學生為本教學課程」。黃博士擅長闡述抽象概念，在他任教的科目中投放大量心力，聯繫化學知識與日常生活經驗。黃博士經常運用不同的教學工具，如動畫、影片、實驗模型以及遊戲，讓同學投入課堂，並激發他們對化學的欣賞。黃博士在教學以外積極參與教材的研發，亦是數項獲撥款的教學研究的首席研究員。黃博士近期的研究項目是開發一個交互式實驗室安全電子學習平台（LabSafe），透過虛擬現實，敘述式講課、動畫以及測驗來教授實驗室安全。

Speaker’s Bio 

Dr. Wong Fai George is a lecturer in the Department of Chemistry at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Dr. Wong teaches several general education courses including UGEB2380 Chemistry of Life, UGEB2410 Chemistry in Action and GECC1131 Idea of a University: Student-oriented Teaching. Dr. Wong is good at expressing abstract ideas. In his courses, he makes great effort to link chemistry knowledge with everyday life experiences. He also uses different teaching aids, such as animations, videos, experiment models and games which aim at engaging students and stimulating their appreciation towards Chemistry. Besides teaching, Dr. Wong takes an active role in developing teaching materials. He is the principle investigator of several teaching-related projects receiving grants. His recent project is the development of an interactive laboratory safety e-Learning platform called LabSafe. It employs virtual reality, narrated lectures, animations and quizzes to teach laboratory safety.
