What is it about?
Integrated DIY (Do-It-Yourself) and TIY (Teach-It-Yourself ) strategies into the curriculum design for an interdisciplinary university general education course. The teacher implemented the scientific inquiry at six levels and designed a three-stage inquiry learning process of “DIY scientific practices, Design hands-on activity, and TIY local practices”.

Why is it important?
Our findings show that the students’ scientific cognition has a positive and significant change after completing three-stage inquiry learning. The students of 2020 have a more substantial difference compared to those of 2017 and 2018. It could be due to the updated three-stage inquiry learning implemented in 2020. The TIY participants agree with the activity’s effectiveness and college students’ scientific inquiry ability.
Perspectives
Integrating DIY vs. TIY Activities into the curriculum design can help students to improve their ability on both the concepts of cognition and skill of interpretation and communication. Although there is much more preparation work before the class, I enjoy seeing students' final performance tasks through their teamwork.
