作業設計在教學的運用－－以「史記」課程為例

The Application of Assignment Design on Teaching Methodology: A Case Study on the Course "the Records of the Grand Scribe"

作業，主要為配合課程而設計，是整個教學活動不可或缺的一環。就筆者從事的語文教學為例，作業的份量似乎隨著小學、中學到大學而遞減，作業的形式也日趨單一。其實，教師若能針對課程，設計出色的作業，不但可以延伸課程的學習，彌補授課時數的不足，也能檢證課堂學習成效，讓學生在實作之中，深化學習。如此，教學就不會僅限於老師的講授與學生的覆誦，課程的學習可以延伸到圖書館、戶外，學習的時間也會自動延長，師生之間的互動增加，評量也多元化了。而學生繳交的成果，常有令人驚喜的創意，閱讀學生的作業，是教學中非常愉快的過程。作業有隨堂作業與課後作業，本論文主要是以課後作業的設計為範圍，以筆者在教授《史記》所設計的作業為例，探討作業設計在教學的運用、成果與限制。再者，《史記》非常適合開設在通識課程中，個人粗淺的經驗或許對從事通識課程的老師有些許的參考價值。

School assignments are a part of curriculum design, and play a crucial role in teaching activities. As a language teacher, the author realized that as the educational level increases, not only the numbers of assignments given to students seem to shrink, but the variety of school work also starts to become simplified. In fact, if teachers can think o( very different and extraordinary assignments based on courses, those assignments can enhance a student's education despite insufficient course hours. In addition, teachers will be able to evaluate their students' performance through the homework. It is hoped that students, by being actively involved in their assignments, will strengthen their learning experiences, which will not only consist of the teacher's lectures and students' recitation. Moreover, teachers can conduct classes in the library or offer students field trips, so that students will have greater access to learning resources, and the interaction between teachers and students will increase as well. In other words, more factors will be included in the assessment of students' performance. Students' assignments are usually surprisingly creative and it is extremely interesting to evaluate their works. Schoolwork includes class work and homework. This study puts its emphasis on homework design. As a teacher instructing the Records of the Grand Scribe, the author attempted to explore the application, results, and limitation of assignment design on teaching methodology. It is appropriate to place the course "the Records of the Grand Scribe" under general education. The researcher hopes that his personal experiences will serve as a reference for those teaching general education courses.
