問題詳情
Class time at Southern Cross School in South Africa is an unusual scene. Teachers and pupils are not shut inside classrooms. Instead, they walk through the grass and bush, or sit in the shade of trees, and join serious discussions.The school has the same syllabus that is set for the country’s schools by the educational authorities, but the teaching methods are totally different. Southern Cross uses nature as a teaching tool. Classes go outdoors to look for phenomena that can be used to study anything from mathematics and science to language. Jumbo Williams, the school’s headmaster,emphasizes the importance of environmental care. “When students leave school, we want them to be champions of the natural environment,” William said.Today, the first lesson of the day is mathematics. To practice numbers, the children visit the nearby water trough to look at animal tracks and count how many different animals came to drink during the night. Language, speech, and debate classes focus on conservation issues. A recent student debate centered on whether people should give water to animals in the wild.The idea for the school came from Sue Godding, who was the manager of a game lodge. She says that nature-based tourism is one of South Africa’s national treasures. She believes that the country needs to produce people who understand the environment and the need to preserve it.

南十字星在南非學校的上課時間是一個不尋常的一幕。教師和學生在教室內沒有關閉。相反，他們穿行草和灌木，或坐在樹蔭下，並參加認真的討論。學校擁有相同的教學大綱，由教育主管部門為國家的學校，但教學方法是完全不同的。南十字作為教學工具使用性質。類去戶外去尋找可以用來研究什麼數學和科學語言的現象。珍寶威廉姆斯，學校的校長，強調愛護環境的重要性。 “當學生離開學校時，我們希望他們成為冠軍的自然環境，”威廉說。今天，一天的第一課是數學。為了練習數字，孩子們參觀附近的水槽來看看動物的足跡，並指望有多少種不同的動物在夜間喝了。語言，演講和辯論，課堂重點放在保護問題。最近的一個學生辯論的焦點集中在是否應該給予水野生動物。學校的想法來自蘇Godding，誰是經理的遊戲小屋。她說，自然旅遊是南非的國寶之一。她認為，該國需要生產環境和需要保留它的人誰知道。
