Brief Introduction:

Dr. Hsu-Chan Kuo’s areas of expertise include creativity and imagination education; technology-enhanced self-directed learning and learning technologies; multimodal PBL, encompassing Project-Based Learning, Problem-Based Learning, and Place-Based Learning; STEM/STEAM education; and curriculum development and instructional design aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In terms of academic service, Dr. Kuo currently serves as a committee member of the Department of Teacher Education and Arts Education, Ministry of Education, Taiwan, and as an Associate Editor of Thinking Skills and Creativity, an SSCI Q1 journal. He also serves on the board of directors and supervisors of the Global Association for Chinese Creativity Education (GACC) and as a board member of the Chinese Creativity Association. He has been actively involved in numerous digital and technology-enhanced learning initiatives promoted by the Ministry of Education, including the Digital Learning Enhancement Project for Elementary and Secondary Schools (AI and interdisciplinary PBL), the Technology-Assisted Self-Directed Learning Project, the 5G Demonstration School—VR and Educational Metaverse Project, the 5G Demonstration School—THSD & BYOD Project, and creativity curriculum initiatives for gifted students.

His research has included multiple projects funded by the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), focusing on topics such as STEAM PBL, XR, and students’ digital literacy; project-based learning and cross-cultural co-creation curricula; and PISA scientific creativity assessment and STEAM PBL instruction. He has also led a Ministry of Education project, Empowering the Future:Play, Creativity and Education, examining the effects of games on students’ creativity, social-emotional learning (SEL), risk-taking, and cognitive and social development. In addition, he participated in a two-year University Social Responsibility (USR) project at National Cheng Kung University, focusing on student creativity, SEL, scientific competencies, digital literacy, mental health, and well-being.

In the areas of international and bilingual education, Dr. Kuo serves as an EMI Research Advisor for Fulbright Taiwan, supporting research on the effects of English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) on students’ multicultural experiences, learning motivation, global competitiveness, and English self-efficacy. He has also served as a co-principal investigator for several national-level education initiatives, including the Taiwan Foreign English Teacher Program (TFETP) and the Sister School Program (SSP), which supports reciprocal partnerships between public elementary and junior high schools in Taiwan and overseas sister schools. These roles reflect his sustained commitment to advancing bilingual education and fostering international collaboration.

Through educational innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration, Dr. Kuo is committed to enhancing students’ future-ready competencies and contributing his expertise and impact to educational reform in Taiwan and the development of international education.
