Designing and Evaluating a Social Participation Course: ＂An Introduction to English Poetry＂ as an Example (設計與評估社會參與式課程：以「英詩入門賞析」課程為例)

摘要：

This paper examines ＂An Introduction to English Poetry,＂ an elective class designed as a social participation course at Ming Chi University of Technology. This class was structured as a response to the enhancement of University Social Responsibility in a small scale for non-English majors at this school. The researcher examined how an activity of delivering posters of English poetry to social welfare organizations (SWOs) nationwide helped to establish the relationship between students and the society, elevate students' awareness of their social roles, and inspire their sense of making social participation a sustainable action. The instructor guided each group of students to choose an English poem whose theme matched the mission of their chosen SWO, helped lead the class to contact their interested SWOs, and encouraged the students to use creativity in designing their posters tailored to particular SWOs. During the process, students drilled their teamwork and collaboration skills, developed critical thinking, and overcame the anxiety of communicating with the SWOs. This paper adopted a mixture of methods for research: quantitative data consisted of Students' Questionnaire Survey; qualitative data of Students' Contact Form with SWOs, Teacher's Track Form, and Students' Reflection Sheet. The above data was analyzed and discussed, and reflections and suggestions were made at the end of the paper.

本文探討明志科技大學開設的一門社會參與式課程：「英詩入門賞析」。本課程作為大學社會責任的提升之一環，帶領該校非英語主修生進行社會參與。本文研究「贈送英語詩歌海報予台灣部分社會福利機構之活動」如何幫助學生建立自身與社會的關係、提升學生對社會角色的認識，並激發他們的社會參與，使之成為可永續發展的行動。授課老師引導每組學生選擇一首英文詩，主題與所選的社福機構之使命相符，並協助各組聯繫他們感興趣的社福機構，鼓勵學生利用創造力設計針對特定社福機構的海報。過程中學生培養出他們的團隊合作和協調能力、發展批判性思維，並克服與社福機構溝通時產生的不安。本文收集量化與質性的資料，量化資料為學生問卷調查表；質性資料為學生與社福機構的聯繫表、教師追蹤表，以及學生學習回饋反思表。最後根據所收集之量化與質性的資料進行成果分析。
