The main focus was on practical operation, supplemented by theoretical explanation. Each dish was arranged for 1 - 2 weeks of learning time, including cooking practice, work display and evaluation. - In the later period (1 - 2 months), the students would be taught Japanese food and beverage exchange, and they would be organized to carry out comprehensive practice, such as simulating the ordering, cooking, dining, and other scenes of Japanese restaurants to consolidate the knowledge and skills they had learned. 2. * * Teaching location ** - The theoretical part could be arranged in an ordinary classroom and explained using multi-media equipment. - The practical teaching part was arranged in a cooking laboratory or a special cooking classroom equipped with a fully equipped kitchen. ###(5) Teaching Evaluation 1. * * Normal performance (30%)** - Class participation: observe the students 'questions in class, their enthusiasm in answering questions, and their participation in group discussions. - [Practice-operation performance: In the practical course, evaluate the students 'proficiency in processing ingredients, the standard of cooking techniques, and the safety of kitchen equipment.] 2. * * Homework and works (40%)** - Written homework: Arrange some short-answer questions and essay questions about Japanese food culture, or ask students to write about their experiences in making certain Japanese dishes. - "Cooking works: The evaluation will be based on the Japanese dishes made by the students, including the appearance (shape, color matching, etc.), texture (taste, texture level, etc.), rationality of the use of ingredients, etc. 3. * * Final Exam (30%)** - Theory Knowledge Assessment: Through a closed-book exam, students will be tested on their mastery of Japanese food culture, theoretical knowledge of cooking, and Japanese food exchange knowledge. ##2. Reflection on Teaching ###(1) Teaching content 1. * * Cultural depth and breadth ** - In the teaching of Japanese food culture, although it covered history, characteristics, etiquette, and other aspects, it might be necessary to further explore the depth of cultural content, such as the subtle differences in food culture in different regions of Japan and the geographical and historical reasons behind it. At the same time, the breadth of culture could be broadened appropriately, and some food descriptions in literature and art works related to Japanese food culture could be introduced to let students feel the status of Japanese food culture in the entire Japanese cultural system more comprehensively. 2. * * Dish selection and update ** - In the teaching of Japanese cuisine, although the dishes chosen were representative, they might be a little singular. In the subsequent teaching, some new dishes could be added according to the students 'interests and market trends, such as Japanese curry rice, Japanese grilled eel, etc., to enrich the teaching content and improve the students' enthusiasm for learning. ###(2) Teaching Methods 1. * * Guidance on practical operations ** - In the practical operation course, although the students were given sufficient hands-on time, the guidance of individual students might not be detailed enough. For students with weak foundations or lack of confidence in cooking, more one-on-one guidance was needed to ensure that they could master the correct cooking methods and improve their cooking skills. 2. * * Effect of group discussion ** - During the group discussion session, some groups might not have in-depth discussions or deviate from the main topic. In future teaching, the tasks and rules of group discussion could be clarified in advance, and the monitoring and guidance of the group discussion process could be strengthened to improve the efficiency and quality of group discussion. ###(3) Teaching Resources 1. * * Freshness and variety of ingredients ** - During the teaching process, due to the limitations of the purchasing channels and costs of the ingredients, sometimes the freshness of the ingredients might not reach the best state, or the variety of ingredients might not be rich enough. He needed to further expand the purchasing channels of ingredients and establish cooperative relationships with more suppliers. At the same time, he needed to reasonably arrange the teaching budget to ensure that students could use fresh and diverse ingredients for practice. 2. * * Multi-media information update ** - As time passed, the existing multi-media materials might gradually become outdated. He needed to regularly update the PowerPoint, videos, and other multi-media materials, add some new Japanese restaurant cases, new cooking skills videos, etc., in order to maintain the novelty of the teaching content. ###(4) Teaching Evaluation 1. * * Evaluation of the rationality of the indicator ** - When evaluating the students 'cooking works, the existing evaluation indicators might focus too much on the appearance and taste, but not enough on the students' innovative thinking and improvement of traditional dishes. It was necessary to adjust the evaluation index system, increase the evaluation weight of students 'innovative ability, and encourage students to carry out innovation on the basis of traditional Japanese cuisine. 2. * * Diverse evaluation methods ** - The current teaching evaluation mainly relied on usual performance, homework, and final exams. The evaluation method was relatively simple. He could consider adding some diverse evaluation methods, such as students 'self-evaluation and mutual evaluation, audience voting during the live production demonstration, etc., so that the teaching evaluation could reflect the students' learning achievements more objectively and comprehensively.
