3. The 12th International Conference of Digital Archives and Digital Humanities (DADH) was organized by the Graduate Institute of History of the College of Arts.
   The purpose of this conference was to present the outcomes of system and technology research and development, study standards, and plan international exchanges and cooperation for international digital humanities development. DADH has been the most important international conference for the presentation of research outcomes in Taiwan's digital archives and digital humanities, and a key occasion for Taiwan to present its accumulated research outcomes to the international academic community, as well as communicate with the advanced researchers in the international academic community. One of the key objectives of DADH is to serve as an essential platform for the digital humanities research academia to share outcomes and engage in international exchanges. The theme of the 12th International Conference of DADH was "Practical Data X Digital Humanities," which aimed to explore how to effectively and conveniently access practical digital data for more meaningful digital humanities research and facilitate open technical exchanges and discussions among scholars from home and abroad for "expanding and deepening the global digital humanities infrastructure and establishing Taiwan's leading position in the field of digital humanities.”

It focused on "The inter-disciplinary learning and professional development in science education," which covered important issues of local and global science education research, such as STEM/STEAM education, teaching and learning of competency development, literacy-oriented assessment, training for pre-service teachers and professional growth of in-service teachers, and digital learning environment and smart learning. Embracing the 108 Curriculum, the conference underscored interdisciplinary core literacy as the focus of curriculum development. This conference invited four important international scholars from countries such as the US and India, and has been recognized by the East-Asian Association for Science Education (EASE). It facilitated dialogue and exchanges between researchers and teachers across Taiwan, as well as among science education researchers, in-service science teachers, and pre-service teachers across countries and regions. More than 80 papers were submitted and 150+ teachers at all levels participated in the conference, either online or in person. The conference enabled researchers and teachers to develop and share curriculum modules that are beneficial for students' core literacy development. Moreover, the international exchange during the conference allowed teachers across Taiwan to better understand how literacy-oriented assessments should be designed.
