This project will compare and contrast how students in grades 4-6 learn art in Canada and China. This study explores how students in Canada and China learn art, how it’s taught and tested, and how their cultural backgrounds affect what they learn. How people in both countries think about art will also be explored. We […]

Biopharmaceuticals are pharmaceuticals that are produced in biological systems, as opposed to being made synthetically using purely chemical approaches. Biopharmaceuticals are becoming increasingly important today, as biological systems are very good at making pharmaceuticals with very precise activity within people and with fewer side effects. However, most of the conventional approaches used to make biopharmaceuticals […]

This project will explore the differences in food education between China and Canada. The intern will research how food-related education is implemented in Chinese public middle schools. This may appear in formal learning (eg home economics or nutrition class), or informal learning (eg, through government subsidized school lunch programming, or opportunities outside of school for […]

For my proposed research, I will primarily make participant observations in Chinese schools and classrooms to study the motivation factors that influence young English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in China, focusing on both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and their impact on language learning outcomes. Two specific motivation strategies I am planning to focus […]

Based on various research papers, present methods of Climate Change Education have been noted to instill feelings of eco-anxiety ultimately leading to avoidance of the topic. For students to be inspired to take meaningful action for a sustainable future, hopeful education is needed. Current methods of Climate Change Education will be observed in Canada and […]

Our project will be reviewing and comparing the differences in curriculum for kindergarten to grade 6 between Canada and China. We will conduct a comparative analysis of curricula, noting the variation in the topics, depth and span of the content. We will be observing how the different curriculum will be implemented in a classroom by […]
