位於國境之南的高雄師範大學,為發揚優質學生籃球文化的理念,於2003年創立男子籃球隊,2004年招收籃球專長生,並在當年度93學年獲得UBA公開二級男子組冠軍,隔年則參加公開一級。至今,最佳成績為102學年度獲得公開一級亞軍。其球隊吉祥物「太極龜」,代表著高雄師大籃球隊核心價值。本研究主要透過文獻分析法與歷史研究法,探討「太極龜」圖騰組成元素意義及對高雄師大球隊發展的影響。從研究結果發現,「太極龜」圖騰象徵球員的全人教育,寓意學業球技並重,基於此核心價值與學生籃球的定位,在籃球專項技術訓練與體育專業知識之外,更發展下列活動:籃球關懷學習之旅、英文加強班、讀書會、教育理論課程,從研究內容能夠看到各項活動明確的目標與做法,並瞭解球員們從參與以上活動所得到的收穫和未來人生可能的影響。球員們在經歷高雄師大籃球隊的訓練與教育,無論畢業後是否從事與教職或籃球相關的工作,皆能在各行各業找到自己的定位,走在人生的正軌之上。期望此研究能夠作為學生運動代表隊的借鏡,注重專項訓練與全人教育兩者的平衡,回歸學生的本質,更為學生籃球樹立優質的新文化。
National Kaohsiung Normal University, located at south of Taiwan, established its basketball team in 2003 in order to carry forward the idea of the culture with high quality. In 2004, they recruited those who were really good at basketball and won the championship of University Basketball Association(UBA) minor league. Up to now, the best result is the first runner-up of first league in 2014. The mascot- Tai-Chi-Kuei represents the core value in the basketball team of NKNU. The research discusses the component element's meaning of the totem- Tai-Chi-Kuei and the influence on the development of the basketball team in literature analysis and historical method. The research suggests that Tai-Chi-Kuei symbolizes holistic education of members and lays equally stress on both study and skill. Based on this core value and students' basketball positions, besides specific technical training and specialized knowledge, the team develops the following activities: the learning tour of caring basketball, the class to enhance English, the study group, and the class of educational theory. You can see the specific target and ways on each activity and realize that members gained a lot of profits and possible influences in the future from joining these activities. With the training and the education of the basketball team of NKNU, members can find their own positions and be on their right track no matter whether engaging in the job about education or basketball after graduation. Hope the research can not only be an enlightenment of school team, emphasize on the balance of the specialized training and holistic education, and return to the essence of student, but also set up a high-quality culture for student basketball.
