It's time for the women of Ithaca to tell their tale . . . .Seventeen years ago, King Odysseus sailed to war with Troy, taking with him every man of fighting age from the island of Ithaca.

《探究策略55 示例》中文版是參考自Concept-based inquiry in action (2018, Corwin) 而來。原文書的作者是Carla Marschall 和Rachel French。Carla 曾在許多國教授 K-12 和 IB 課程；而 Rachel 是教育顧問，經常在世界各地支持學校發展探究為本的課程與教學。Rachel 於 2018 年11 月來臺5 天，引導我們的老師體驗探究為本的教學。為了讓更多老師能夠快速進入學習，我們將約80 種的探究策略先翻譯成中文，讓參與工作坊的老師先行閱讀。工作坊結束後，老師們決定摘取最常用的55 個策略，讓有意願的老師以身試「法」，並將教學歷程敘寫出來，讓其他老師們可以參考。於是，我們在2019 年出版第一本的《探究策略示例55》；2020 年調整部分內容、增加策略運用的說明，再版書名則修正為《探究策略55 中學篇》。 這本小書匯聚了許多教師的心血，今年我們向下延伸並出版《探究策略55 中小學篇》，參考本書所提供的工具，根據學生狀況與在地民俗風情給予不同的養分，由中小學的課室展開不同的樣貌，內容部分更提供更多中小學實踐示例。 探究策略共有7 個階段：投入、聚焦、調查、組織、通則、遷移、反思。反思則可融入其餘階段。雖然7個階段不一定是線性發展，但多少可反映由易入難、由簡入深的探究歷程。每一個階段都有多種策略可以使用，老師可依據學習目標、核心問題或主要概念，應用適合探究的策略，讓學生可以在此探索與討論過程中，有感思考，有意提問，有據理解，和有心創作。

封面人物 Ozone 音樂主播台 音樂巨人的浪漫情懷 ～作曲家拉赫曼尼諾夫～ 俄國作曲家拉赫曼尼諾夫(Sergei Rachmaninoff, 1873～1943)，2023年是拉赫曼尼諾夫150歲的誕生週年，以拉赫曼尼諾夫為主題的音樂會，從年初就世界各地開跑，在這屬於拉赫曼尼諾夫的年份，我們也來探尋他的音樂和生平故事！ 先聽一首拉赫曼尼諾夫的作品吧！ 就算沒聽過拉赫曼尼諾夫的名號，相信你應該也很難不被這柔美浪漫的旋律所感動，這正是來自拉赫曼尼諾夫所寫的《帕格尼尼主題狂想曲》，當中的第十八段變奏。西元1981年的老電影《似曾相識》，導演在電影中安排男主角，為女主角演奏拉赫曼尼諾夫的《帕格尼尼主題狂想曲》，但女主角卻表示，她從來沒聽過這首曲子，暗示電影中的男主角是穿越時空，來自未來。而這段浪漫抒情，細膩優美的第十八段變奏，不只讓這部愛情電影成為經典，也是拉赫曼尼諾夫最知名的代表作。 東洋動漫館 〈I'm Still Alive Today〉 ～電視動畫《派對咖孔明》插曲～ 本次介紹的歌曲〈I’m Still Alive Today〉是出現在原作第一話中的一首全英文插曲，劇情在描述女主角月見英子在覺得不會有人認真聽她歌聲的情況下，不經意拿起吉他唱起這首歌抒發情緒。然而，也是這首歌曲受到孔明的讚賞，認為她有感動人心的潛能，鼓勵她繼續加油。此曲背後配唱的聲優是由網路歌手「96貓」所擔任。所謂的網路歌手，即是其形象是近乎虛擬而只存在於網路世界的歌手，平常並不露臉，在網路上也只以特定形象之虛擬人物圖片來代表自己，然而係真有其人其聲（不同於初音未來的聲音完全是透過合成）。本曲由KennKato老師作詞、大西克巳老師作曲、日比野裕史老師編曲。 專題報導 如何讓兩個和弦發揮最大效益 ～作曲手法解析 Part.3～ 這回，我們來找找兩個和弦之間的最大公因數，以及示範如何應用吧！ ◎流行鋼琴雙月刊雜誌 ◎一網打盡港台日韓最in的哈燒金曲 ◎獨家推出忠於原味的鋼琴獨奏＋伴奏完整套譜 ◎揭露鍵盤編曲必殺技 ◎橫跨古典與流行，揉合東西方音樂元素
