跨領域教學在性別教育課程之實踐

Applying Interdisciplinary Teaching to the Course of Gender Education

「跨領域」的教學模式是一種創新的教、學方式。由於此法能補足教學夥伴間專業上的缺憾，許多高等教育機構常將此種合作列入教學特色來爭取高額計畫的補助。過去研究顯示，性別教育的課程因為科目知識具多元性，適合進行跨領域教學，因此本文兩位研究者於98學年度第2學期便嘗試合作，以「跨領域」的模式來進行性別課程的多元化教學。本研究是以大華科技大學的「性別教育」與仁德醫事專科學校的「婦女生活與社會文化」為合作課程，欲探討以「性別」為主題來進行跨領域教學的可能性。在幸蒙教育部顧問室優質通識教育計畫的補助下，兩位研究者除互相進行課程交流外，亦運用了課程資源聘請了講座專家、助理與顧問形成合作團隊進行跨域教學。經過一學期後，在期末教學課程整體認同度調查中，學習者在與跨領域教學有關之項目，包含整體跨域課程內容、主要教師教學、跨域教師教學與跨域專家講座等，表現出對此種教學有高度的認同；此外，兩校學習者於性別基本知識的期初、期末調查中也呈現顯著性的進步，可知跨領域教學能有效推廣性平知識，此種教法在性別教育的課程值得繼續被延伸。最後研究者針對跨域團隊的合作、學生學習的方式、性別教育課程與教育單位未來可能精進調整之方向皆提出建議、討論與反思。

’Interdisciplinary Teaching’ is an innovative model for both teaching and learning. As it can make up for the deficiencies of teaching, many faculty members in higher educational institutions have their teaching feature in this model for higher grants. The two researchers have taught Gender Education and History of Women at Ta Hwa University of Science and Technology and Jen-Teh Junior College of Medicine, Nursing and Management for years. Because their courses were sponsored by the Humanities and Social Sciences office, Ministry of Education in the fall semester of the year of 2009, they had students attended the two courses as subjects. Purpose of this study was to apply Interdisciplinary Teaching methods to teach issues related to ’Gender.’ At the end of the semester, the results indicated that these two courses were highly accepted by the participants in the Survey of Course Acceptance. Besides, most students were progressed in the Survey of Gender Knowledge from the protest to the posttest. It shows that the Interdisciplinary Teaching is worthy of being continued and strengthened in the future teaching and research. Finally, the researchers do recommendations, discussions and reflections to the Interdisciplinary Teaching team, learning methods, Gender Education courses and educational institutes according to results of this study.
