科技大學實施大學入門課程歷程與反思──以國立臺中科技大學「大學之道」為例

Preliminary Study on Implementation of University Preparatory Courses at Universities of Science and Technology-Focusing on the National Taichung University of Science and Technology's ''Ways to University Education''

近年來，「大學入門」、「大學涵養」、「大學之道」等大一入門課程，陸續於綜合大學、技專校院開設，最主要原因在鑑於大一新生進入高教體系後，在學習、生活、課業等方面差異相當大，除適應生活外，還需要面對系上的專業必修課。「大學之道」課程讓學生了解大學自我學習進程中，自主學習、社會關懷、國際視野、批判思考、互動表達等能力均相當重要，為敘事能力整合，也透過民主、倫理、科學、美學、媒體等五大素養，連結真實社會與環境。本研究主要以國立臺中科技大學「大學之道」之課程內容與脈絡介紹，探究實施成果以及效益，啟發大一學生的覺知與使命，並了解大學學習的重要性。

"In recent years, ''university preparatory courses,'' ''courses on the cultivation of university students,'' ''courses on the ways to university education,'' and ''preparatory courses for freshmen'' have been introduced at a wide range of universities and technological and junior colleges. The primary reason is that for freshmen entering the tertiary education system, the differences in studying, living, and class assignments are relatively considerable. In addition to adapting to a new lifestyle, one has to meet the demands of the required professional courses in the departments. The course on ''The Ways to University Education'' mainly allows students to understand the importance of the ability of autodidactism, social care, international vision, critical thinking, interactive expression, and so on, in the process of self-learning at the university. These can be characterized as narrative ability integration, and this course links the real society and environment through five elements, namely democracy, ethics, science, aesthetics, and media. This study mainly introduces the contents and context of our university's initialization of ''The Ways to University Education,'' and simultaneously explains the results and benefits of its implementation. Accordingly, it is believed that the introductory course will be structured effectively. Through different teaching methods, freshmen can learn about the importance of university learning based on their perception and mission."
