大學校院通識課程教學設計之行動研究——以普通心理學為例

An Action Research on the Instructional Design of a General Curriculum at a University in Taiwan

本研究旨在建構大學校院通識課程之教學與評量，以「普通心理學」通識課程為研究案例，採行動研究法。本研究歷時兩學期，藉由訪談資深教師、調查修課學生意見、並分析學生的學習檔案與教師的教學紀錄，在理論與實際教學間不斷循環驗證歷程中，研究者嘗試發展出合宜之教學設計。研究者並期望本研究所獲致的結論與建議，能作為大學校院通識課程教師在教學與後續相關研究的參考。

This study aims at constructing a model of instruction and assessment for a general education program at a university in central Taiwan. General Psychology, one of the general education courses commonly offered in most of the universities in Taiwan, was chosen to be investigated. The approach of action research was adopted to carry out this study. Data collection lasted for two semesters. Experienced teachers were interviewed. Students' learning experiences in class were obtained through surveys. Students' learning portfolios and instructors' notes taken during the classes were collected. By means of reaffirming between theory and practice, the researchers designed a curriculum appropriate for the students. It is hoped that the findings and conclusions of this study can serve as a useful reference for instructors of general education courses for research or teaching purpose.
