曹光彪書院的“師友分享”計劃，今學年引進全新的“小組項目大比拼”活動。一年級學生組成3至5人的跨學科小組，選擇有關澳門或當代興趣的題目，每組配一位書院導師或學院來的非駐院導師作指導。導師帶領小組查找背景文獻，確立研究目的，研究方法和計劃，並在第一學期完成開題報告。

這項活動的目的，是通過團隊學習來激勵學生，提高他們發掘問題，學術研究，小組合作和演講能力。

書院六個行星部落的新生，今年總共組成40個小組。他們選擇了許多有趣的題目，跟澳門社會現況和年青人息息相關。題目範疇包括新技術、飲食、健康、旅遊、潮牌、文創、歷史、教育、基建、城市規劃、大灣區等等，開題報告的摘要，請見此網頁。

從12月初的40個開題報告中，書院評審團（院長和書院導師）選出12個優異開題報告，其中6個小組成為行星代表隊。評審團發現，各小組都投入了不少時間，他們的報告普遍都有較完整的背景資料，演示的幻燈片也相當吸引人。有些報告更超越了開題範圍，開始了部份研究。

6個行星代表隊的題目列出如下：

  • 【金星】澳門當代動物保護機構現況調查
  • 【木星】探討澳門青年人對潮牌的態度與購買意願之研究
  • 【水星】心靈抗疫戰
  • 【火星】澳門水上人家的生活現狀調查
  • 【土星】澳門社團助澳人融入大灣區的成效研究
  • 【地球】探究社會青年對跟風現象的看法與它的成因和影響

這6支行星代表隊，將在明年三月完成研究報告，並作“小組項目大比拼”現場演示報告，由大評審團（包括學生、學院導師）選出最佳的三支隊伍作為得獎者。

As part of its Mentorship Program, Chao Kuang Piu College  introduced a brand new “Team Project Challenge” activity this academic year.  Year-1 students formed interdisciplinary groups of 3 to 5 people to work on topics related to Macau or contemporary interests.  Each group was assigned a mentor, who was either a CKPC Resident Fellow or a non-resident Fellow/Affiliate from a UM Faculty. The mentor guided the group to search for background materials, establish research goals, develop plans, and complete the opening report in the first semester.

The purpose of this activity is to motivate students through teamwork and improve their academic research, cooperation, and presentation skills.

For this academic year, year-1 students from the six CKPC Planet Tribes formed 40 groups. They chose many interesting topics closely related to the Macau society and the young generation.  Topics range from new technology, diet, health, tourism, fashionable brands, culture and creativity, history, education, infrastructure, urban planning, to the Greater Bay Area. For the summary of the topics, please see this webpage.

From the 40 opening reports presented in early December, the college appraisers (Master and Resident Fellows) selected 12 excellent ones, of which 6 teams became the finalists. Their topics are listed below:

  • 【Venus】On the current situation of Macao’s animal protection institutions
  • 【Jupiter】A study on the inclination and reasons of purchasing trendy brands by Macau’s youth
  • 【Mercury】A spiritual war against the pandemic
  • 【Mars】On the current living status of boat people in Macau
  • 【Saturn】A study on the effectiveness of community organizations in helping the integration of Macau into the Greater Bay Area
  • 【Earth】Exploring the views of young people on following the trend and its causes and effects

These 6 finalists will complete their research reports by March next year and give Team Project Challenge presentations. The three best teams will be selected as winners by a group of appraisers comprising of students and faculty members.

Note: CKPC students are divided into six Planet Tribes based on their block/floor areas.
