【開箱大學教授】

Corey老師非常熱衷於教學，從她博士畢業後選擇成為綜合性大學任職就可看出，她絕對不是渴望將自己關入象牙塔中，追求自我在研究上有巨大成就的教授，而是成為以教學與服務為自己最重要任務的教育家。她將超過9成的時間與精力皆花費在教學與服務上，對於教學現場不斷更新的動態變化，也有著細微的觀察與體悟。而她所進行的研究，也大多數與教育有關，當她發現對於教育改革的科學研究相當稀少，便積極應用自己的教學熱情與心理學和科學的專業，以自身教學現場進行實驗，希望透過這樣的數據觀察，瞭解不同教學方法對學生學習的影響。完整看完Corey老師的專訪，不得不深深敬佩她對於教育的奉獻精神，以及她為學生學習所做的堅持和努力。

Professor Corey is deeply passionate about teaching. Her decision to take up a position at a comprehensive university after completing her Ph.D. clearly shows that she is not someone who desires to isolate herself in an ivory tower, seeking great personal achievements in research. Instead, she has committed to making teaching and service her primary missions as an educator. She dedicates over 90% of her time and energy to teaching and service, while maintaining a keen awareness of the constantly evolving dynamics of the classroom. Most of her research is also related to education. Upon realizing the scarcity of scientific research on educational reform, she actively applied her passion for teaching, alongside her expertise in psychology and science, to conduct experiments in her own classrooms. Through these data-driven observations, she hopes to better understand the impact of different teaching methods on student learning. After reading Professor Corey's full interview, one cannot help but feel deep admiration for her dedication to education and her unwavering commitment to improving student learning.

Corey從英國文學到認知神經科學的人生經歷，提供我們在面對職涯和學術旅程不確定性時珍貴的參考。她探索各種機會、尋求各方意見和指導，並彈性地去應對做決定時的不確定性。更重要的是，她強調在做出長期承諾之前，花時間探索，不需要倉促決定，因為每個階段都幫助自我充實，塑造了我們的人生旅程。Corey在追求自己的興趣過程中，展現了韌性和適應能力，她的經驗提醒我們應該注重過程，而不是追求立即的結果，並學會享受日常生活中的點滴。

Corey's life journey from English literature to cognitive neuroscience offers us valuable insights when facing uncertainties in our careers and academic paths. She explores various opportunities, seeks advice and guidance from different sources, and flexibly navigates decision-making uncertainties. Most importantly, she emphasizes taking time to explore before making long-term commitments, without rushing into decisions, as each stage contributes to self-fulfillment and shapes our life journey. In pursuing her interests, Corey demonstrates resilience and adaptability. Her experience reminds us to focus on the process rather than immediate results and to learn to enjoy the small moments in everyday life.

Corey Fernandez教授雖是英國文學背景，但在因緣際會下接觸到了心理學，並發現這個領域才是她想追求、投入的，於是她投入時間與精力，最終取得了英文與心理學的雙學位。然而，畢業之後，她雖然知道自己想走學術研究，但依然感到徬徨。但她並沒有駐足不前，而是選擇諮詢身旁的老師、長伴與同儕的建議，甚至主動寫信給自己喜歡的研究領域教授詢問建議。儘管最終她選擇先進入職場幾年，看似比其他人起步更晚，但她仍認為在職場的經驗，反而成為了她日後研究時的最佳養分。因此她鼓勵所有學生，當人生面臨徬徨時，不要急著做決定，先尋求身邊人的協助，尋覓出自己真心喜歡的方向，才能長長久久且永不倦怠地走下去。
