Applying Narrative Strategy in General Education Teaching:A Case Study of an Intercultural Comparison Course

本文以一门跨文化比较为主题的通识课为个案,从教学方法层面切入,探究采用叙事教学策略后大学生的学习投入与学习结果是否得到改善,在此基础上讨论产生相关变化的原因与意义。教师使用问卷调查方式收集学生对教学活动的意见与反馈,同时对学生的作业进行分析。本研究发现:与学生经验相结合的叙事策略容易引发学生的学习兴趣;教师教学设计的活动会引导学生学习的方向;叙事的教学策略能够帮助学生反思个人经验,在学术概念与建构自我之间产生关联。
