起心動念齊樂樂――以ARCS動機模式探討音樂劇場通識課程設計及大學生的學習成效

Exploring the Design of the Musical Theater General Education Course and the Learning Effects on University Students by Applying the ARCS Motivation Model

廣義的「音樂劇場」是指以音樂為主導，結合文字、戲劇、舞蹈、舞臺等其他元素的一種綜合表演藝術形式。本研究採行動研究法，以研究者任教的科大生為研究對象，旨在探討融合注意、關聯、自信、滿足四大要素的ARCS動機模式及合作學習策略而開發的音樂劇場通識課程之教學策略及課程內涵，以及科技大學學生於該課程中之學習歷程及學習成效。課程進行音樂劇場相關理論研習與實務應用，以音樂劇形式玩創意，開展綜合藝術的探索與創造。本研究結合教學現場觀察及相關文獻交叉檢視之成果，有效激發學生的學習動機、提升學習成效及藝術涉入。

Broadly speaking, musical theater is a performing style in which music dominates the whole performance that encompasses the elements of literature, drama, dance, and stage. This action research aimed to explore the teaching strategies and the content of a musical theater general education course and to examine the course's learning process for and its effects on technology university students using the ARCS (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction) motivation model and cooperative learning strategy. Participants were non-music major undergraduate students who enrolled in a musical theater class taught as a general education course by the investigator. In this course, students develop the skill of comprehensive artistic exploration and creation by studying musical theater theories and their practical application. The results of this study show that the teaching modes and strategies have effectively stimulated students' learning motivation, improved their learning achievements, and enhanced their involvement in the arts.
