技職院校通識課程的教學實踐－－以「生命教育」課程為例

Teaching Practice for the General Education Curriculum at Technical and Vocational Colleges using the example of the 'Life Education' Course

本文是以筆者在技職院校所任教的「生命教育」通識課程為探討主題，分享其中的教學理念，希望藉由這樣的課程實踐，幫助學生探索生命的意義、尊重與珍惜生命的價值，進而成為富有人文情懷的生命個體。再者，也希望藉由這樣的教學分享，以資技職教育系統的教師在進行「生命教育」通識課程時之參酌。而筆者分享的生命教育教學理念為：（1）用「生」、「老」、「病」、「死」四個概念呈現生命教育課程的內容，以讓學生瞭解生命的真相；（2）闡釋生命教育是涵養學生能對「自己」、「他人」與「自然」產生感動，以讓學生時時擁有感動的心，成為一位溫暖的生命個體，而不是冷感的動物。

This paper details the practice of life education, a general education curriculum, at technical and vocational colleges. This curriculum allows students to search for meaning in life and to respect other values, which improves the individual. In addition, this paper provides some suggestions for teachers at technical and vocational colleges. The teaching of life education involves (1) 'birth', 'old age', 'disease' and 'death', four concepts that allow students to understand the nature of life, (2) cultivating students' ability to influence 'self', 'others' and 'nature', so that they become better individuals, rather than becoming apathetic.
