多元文化通識課程實施的經驗與反思──以伊斯蘭文化為例

A Practical Study of Multiculturalism Curriculum on Islamic Cultures

全世界穆斯林人口約16億，因工作或結婚等因素定居在台的穆斯林人口亦多達26萬，但台灣社會對穆斯林世界似乎缺乏了解和興趣。本文嘗試透過在大學通識課程實施相關課程，同時檢視大學生對穆斯林文化的認知和接受狀況進行研究。研究結果為：台灣大學生確實對穆斯林世界欠缺了解興趣，也存有相當程度的刻板印象，但是相較於西方基督教世界，也較無穆斯林恐懼症，如果教師能在課堂上多實施相關課程，並澄清各種對穆斯林文化的誤解，確實可以有助於促進台灣大學生對穆斯林世界的認識，並提升其多元文化素養及包容能力。

The current Muslim world population is over 1.6 billion. Up to 260,000 Muslims living in Taiwan due to work or marriage, but Taiwanese society seems to lack understanding and interest in the Muslim world. This paper attempts to examine college students' understanding and acceptance of Muslim culture through the relevant courses of general education curriculum at the university. The conclusions are: Taiwanese college students lack interest of understanding Muslim world. They also have a considerable degree of stereotypes on them. However, compared with the Western Christian world students, Taiwanese students do not have Muslim phobia. If teachers can implement relevant courses in the classroom and clarify various misunderstandings to Muslim cultures. It will be help to promote Taiwanese college students' understanding of the Muslim world and enhance their multicultural literacy skills.
