🔥 YCYW EDUCATIONAL LECTURE SERIES - 25/26 LECTURE 12
Topic: From "Cutting-Edge Scientific Research" to Contemporary Education, How Scientific Thinking Shapes Future Talent
In an age where science and technology are constantly pushing the boundaries, we are gradually coming to realise that the talent of the future requires not only a wealth of knowledge, but also the ability to understand the world through scientific thinking, to make judgements based on reason and evidence, and to construct clear and robust cognitive frameworks amidst complexity and uncertainty.
With this in mind, this lecture will explore with you how children can develop their capacity for inquiry, critical thinking and lifelong learning through real-life research contexts and case studies, and what educational approaches can truly support this process of development.
Speaker Introductions:
- Ms Zhuang Li
Professor and Doctoral Supervisor, College of Resources and Safety Engineering, Chongqing University
-
Ms Jessie Xiao
Chinese Co-Principal, YWIES Shanghai Lingang
Lecture Time: Thursday, 16 April 2026, 19:00
📍Lecture Venue:
YCIS Chongqing
2 Huxia Street, Yuan Yang Town, Liangjiang New Area, Chongqing, China
Sneak Peek at Lecture Highlights:
- Defining the Future Leader: Moving beyond traditional metrics
- Case Studies: Breaking down core competencies through real-world research scenarios
- Educational Pathways: Identifying the environments that truly support cognitive growth and internal drive
From the perspective of ‘hardcore research’, we will re-examine education and personal development, exploring together how to nurture future talent with sound judgement, a spirit of inquiry and intrinsic motivation, so that children can gain the ability to shape the future whilst gaining an understanding of the world.
