The 21st century is an era of information, technology, knowledge application, innovation, and globalization. The purpose of education is not only to provide knowledge but also to extend knowledge across many disciplines and national and ethnic boundaries. Education requires teachers to guide students to expand the depth and breadth of their learning and to make global connections. The Executive Yuan's 2017 white paper on vocational education stresses that people in the technical and vocational education fields must adopt innovative thinking, be innovative in practice, and be prepared to engage in interdisciplinary collaboration. Creativity is the ability to present and/or do something in a unique and unconventional manner that ends up improving or enhancing that activity in some way. Therefore, creative teaching is the teaching of normal content differently (such as flipping classroom teaching, creative thinking teaching methods) in combination with information technology media such as the Kahoot app or through participating in international competitions. Today's university students are members of the so-called Z generation, a generation that is very comfortable with using technology products such as the Internet, smartphones, and computers as learning tools. Thus, teachers should make full use of these products to connect with their students, and creative teaching should promote knowledge transfer by using learning styles that Z-generation students prefer and by guiding students to extend their learned knowledge. Education quality is a key indicator of national competitiveness. One way to improve competitiveness is to begin by understanding the experience of others. This column invites nursing educators to share their experiences in creative teaching and international competition, with articles hopefully inspiring readers to explore and develop their own innovative thinking.
21世纪是一个信息、技术、知识应用、创新和全球化的时代。教育的目的不仅是传授知识，还在于跨越众多学科以及国家和民族界限拓展知识。教育要求教师引导学生拓展学习的深度和广度，并建立全球联系。行政院2017年的职业教育白皮书强调，技术和职业教育领域的人们必须采用创新思维，在实践中创新，并准备好进行跨学科合作。创造力是指以独特且非传统的方式呈现和/或做某事，并最终以某种方式改进或提升该活动的能力。因此，创造性教学是指结合信息技术媒体（如Kahoot应用程序）或以参加国际竞赛的方式，以不同方式教授常规内容（如翻转课堂教学、创造性思维教学方法）。如今的大学生是所谓的Z世代成员，这代人非常习惯于将互联网、智能手机和电脑等技术产品用作学习工具。因此，教师应充分利用这些产品与学生建立联系，创造性教学应通过采用Z世代学生喜欢的学习方式并引导学生拓展所学知识来促进知识转移。教育质量是国家竞争力的关键指标。提高竞争力的一种方法是从了解他人的经验开始。本专栏邀请护理教育工作者分享他们在创造性教学和国际竞赛中的经验，希望这些文章能激励读者探索和发展自己的创新思维。
