The role of the students in this Project is diverse:
1 : Learners:
Through interviews and data collection with the director and general manager of Xihu Fruit
and Vegetable Market Company, the students have a full understanding of the business history
and philosophy of the Xihu Market, and understand the importance of the Market Company to
the farmers in the Changhua area. And through this project the teachers and students learn
about the Market.
2: Promoters:
In addition, the group visited the Xihu Market several times during the research process and
collected relevant information from various aspects. After discussion and analysis and actual selling
the vegetables, we act as the ambassadors to promote the market to people outside the town.
3: Tech Savvy:
During the course of the research, the research team use the Internet to search for information,
use computer software for web design, learn through the office document processing and integration,
the website of the CyberFair website system, photo and film shooting and other information.
In the process of conducting research, we participated in planning various related activities.
From the very beginning, we interviewed the Xihu Market Company personnels, and we learned that
the Xihu Market is closely related to our lives. The existence of the Xihu Market is more than just
providing vegetable trading and trading venues, it even needed the cooperation with
the government to promote propaganda policies, help farmers improve their income, improve
the market trading environment, regulate the supply and demand of fruits and vegetables in the four
seasons, and provide steady daily vegetable transaction prices, strictly control pesticide residues,
regular inspections and persuasion.
Under our interview, we learned that the Xihu Market also controls vegetable and fruit grading
and packaging to many of the major supermarkets in Taiwan. In the season of broccoli and cabbage,
the company will buy over-produced vegetables and make dried vegetables. Under the research,
we learned that the composition of a company requires many considerations.
5. The Problems We have Encountered and Overcome:
Lack of learning experience and stimuli: As our town in not a central area and even though it’s not as poor as some of the places in rural area, the school lacks funds and unable to provide more for the students. 1.Setting up interview with the head of the Xihu Fruit and Vegetable Market Company and visiting the Market is problematic: The managers are very busy, so finding a common time for our students and the people concerned is difficult. Also the market is most busy before day break, so when we visit, many of the vendors have already left. problematic: 2The managers are very busy, so finding a common time for our students and the people concerned is difficult.

Data collection and network problem: students do not have computer or Internet access at home, so most of the work need to be done during school time, or extra time spent coming to the school during the weekend. Many has difficulty learning to do Internet research and building webpages. 4. Insufficient experience in interviews: Students lack of experience in conducting interviews, but most of the time the people we interviewed are really nice to the our students. 6. The Unforgettable Experience: Participating in the CyberFair is a brand new experience for both our students and teachers. We learn new knowledge outside the classroom, and we also know more about the Xihu Market. We also understand that it is not easy to operate a company. We encountered many difficulties in data collection, building web page and interviews, etc. This project has offered all of us an unforgettable experience. |
(1.) We met many people and did many things throughout the project. We did interviews,
bargain with vendors, bought many many vegetables.
(2.) During two of the fundraising events, we understand it is very difficult to sell things.
We learn how to persuade people to help out with our charity work and many people
are touched with our conduct.
(3.) We are amazed what work we can accomplish through hard work and teamwork.
Many of the teachers and parents helped us with our activities, and we really thankful.
(4.) During one of the time when we want to buy vegetables to sell, some of
the vendors donate their vegetable to us, because we told them the purpose of our act.
We are so touched by their selfless act.
The project is completed, but with the help from many people, we are all closer because of this!
