His beliefs about education: steady and slow, wins, that race! A dedicated, educator, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
The school principal of Jingwha Elementary, Tseng had been working for forty years to date in the realms of education, in the past, he'd pushed forth the teaching methods of the science subjects as closely related to life, as the 2019 education reforms were implemented, he'd hosted the seminars monthly, to help the instructors deal and cope with the changes in the new curricula, and given them advise on how to teach the classes, and, held firm to the beliefs of "in and out, living and learning", to educate the students. Tseng told, that this may be, ambiguous, but, the well-rounded beliefs of education leis that "simplicity will be everlasting, step by step, making the learning flow along more smoothly."
Tseng told, that he'd been pushing forth the reforms of education of 2019, and now it's finally, implemented, and the biggest differences of the former curricula and the current is in the "directions of the lessons", for science, for instance, during the original lesson plans, the plants would be taken apart into parts for the students to learn about.
The Concepts of "Life in Life Out" in Teaching the Students
But the new curricula had the students to learn about the generalized concepts first, for the students to make observations about the plants, to get them to become curious, then to explain to them which part of the plants are which, the instructors' roles in guiding the discoveries is vital, it's closer to reality, instead of taking the plant apart, and learning the various parts of the plants from before.
"The concepts I want to train the students to learn is life in, life out", Tseng said, that through caring about a certain thing, to discuss with the students on the processes, to hypothesize, to deduct, then to, discuss, to the final, end results, the conclusions, instead of ignoring the process, and getting, straight to the end, the answers. And, after the discoveries, then, what's learned in the classrooms can be more easily applied to every day life, the knowledge that the students can take, out of, the classroom setting.

Tseng who'd planned the science education curricula, and worked as the science club sponsoring instructor, with a rich experience in teaching the subject, even as he became the principal, he'd still set up the open lectures every school year, to teach the school children about science, and he'd hosted the education seminars to help the instructors find ideas to teaching, under the 2019 academic reforms.
Education Shouldn't be Focused Solely on the End Result, and Ignoring the Processes of Learning
Tseng stated, that in the past, the students were passive, in absorbing everything the instructor fed to them, and now, the students are getting active, asking questions in the classroom settings, it would give the teacher more motivation to teach, but it's also, a challenge, the students and teachers learning together, exchanging their thoughts, this, is the meaning of the new reforms of education.
Tseng smiled and told, that he has a belief about teaching, and running a school, which is, "simple is, longer lasting, slow and steady, wins the races.", it sounds ambiguous, but the truth is, education shouldn't be focused on the end results, and ignoring the processes in the middle, that it should be on the step-by-step discovery processes, after the concepts are learned, then, learning becomes, smoother flowing.
And so, this, is the school principal's beliefs about education, and he'd, put his theories into, practice, in advocating the new education reforms, and, he'd made the lessons in science more applicable to the students' every day life, which is, combining the theories with the application, which is what learning is, all about.
