“戏曲进课堂”的香港模式——以香港五旬节林汉光中学的课堂实践为中心

The Introduction of Xiqu into Classroom:A Hong Kong Model

2000年,香港教育当局推行艺术教育改革,建议学校引入多元化的艺术教育。不少中学遂把戏剧引入课程,其中以西方话剧为主。许多中学也尝试引入粤剧,以增加学生对中国文化的认识,香港教育当局也致力于把粤剧融入音乐科课程内。然而,教师遇到的最大困难是学生不愿意唱。笔者是戏剧教师,考虑到初中学生都喜爱在课堂上活动,遂以活动为学习粤剧的切入点,先教学生做和打,然后才学念和唱,又以创作性戏剧为学习模式。实践显示此教学策略既提升学生的学习动机,也提升学习效能。

The Hong Kong Education and Manpower Bureau launched the Education Reform in 2000. Schools were encouraged to introduce various art forms into their arts education, and Drama has been a choice of many schools. Schools wanted to introduce Xiqu as well, and the Bureau provided schools with Cantonese Opera lesson plans and encouraged Music teachers to add Cantonese Opera as a module in their Music curriculum. However, students showed no interests in the songs of Cantonese Oper- a. As a drama teacher in a secondary school, the researcher employed a new teaching strategy by introducing firstly the movement and stage fighting of Cantonese Opera to his students, and then followed by verse speaking, and then finally singing. Creative Drama was used throughout the learning process. It was found that both the learning motivation and the learning effectiveness were enhanced.
