In recent years, the number of Southeast Asia–themed general education courses in higher education in Taiwan has steadily increased. However, the expansion of such courses has not necessarily led to a corresponding deepening of knowledge organization and learning experiences. This study argues that the key issue in existing courses does not lie merely in the amount of Southeast Asia–related content, but rather in the disconnection among modes of knowledge organization, learner positionality, and the pedagogical transformation of transnational issues. To address this issue, the study integrates three interrelated dimensions—representation, positionality, and transformation—to construct an analytical framework for Southeast Asia–themed general education courses and, on this basis, proposes a modular curriculum design centered on transnational issues related to Southeast Asia and adaptable to different teaching contexts. At the operational level, the curriculum is organized through a four-stage sequence—cross-cultural engagement, field-based observation, issue-based discussion, and reflective action—which establishes a learning pathway from perception and observation to analysis and public articulation. A demonstration module is further provided to illustrate how this framework may operate within a specific local context. Through this approach, the study proposes a possible direction for reorganizing Southeast Asia–themed general education curricula. |
