以紀錄片拍攝作為勞動教育的方法實踐與反思

Practices and Reflection on Teaching Labor Education by the Way of Documentary Filmmaking

本文首先闡述在視覺教育學及經驗哲學等理論脈絡啟發下，筆者於大專院校開設「勞動影像與當代台灣社會」通識課程，進行以紀錄片拍攝作為勞動教育的方法實踐。該課程結合「勞動觀念」與「紀錄片製作」，希冀讓學生從學習「勞動紀錄片」的產製過程中，反芻課堂上講授的勞動概念，並從與拍攝對象的互動中，探索不同行業勞動者在資本主義社會結構下的勞動處境，從而培養其勞動意識。透過五階段教學歷程的闡述，本文進一步反思此教學實踐經驗並提出改善之處，期能在台灣校園內開發多元勞動教育方案上起拋磚引玉之效，改善台灣校園勞動教育的匱乏狀態。

This article first explains the background why labor education is implemented by the way of documentary filmmaking and how the general course “Labor Image and Contemporary Taiwan Society” is designed based on the theoretical contexts of visual pedagogy and empirical philosophy. Combining “labor concepts” with “documentary education,” this cross-domain curriculum is aimed to cultivate the students’ labor awareness through the process of learning how to make labor documentary. While students are involved to interacting with the person being documented, they are expected to rethink and digest the ideas of labor taught in the earlier stage as well as understand the working circumstance of the employed in capitalist society through this process. Through five course stages of teaching process, this article further reflects on teaching effectiveness and analyzes how to improve the future course design in the last. Hopefully, it can be beneficial for raising the labor education in Taiwan’s university environment and creating a wider variety of labor education programs.
