研究者原為社工系教師,因校方系所發展規劃調整教師編制至生命禮儀暨關懷事業系,為使教學內容吻合學生學習需求而調查就讀學生就學動機,發現多數學生具有死亡相關經驗或對死亡議題、生命關懷議題有工作上的需求,進而改變課程模式從講授相關理論及案例調整為以學生的生命故事為主體,以表達性藝術治療結合敍事治療的方法,協助學生從探究與整理生命故事深入理解個體經驗,藉此轉化自身生命經驗成為未來工作發展的基石、提升對個案服務的覺察能力及深化助人技巧的知能。後續將研究方法應用於通識課程與社會服務的實踐中,發現此方法對學生亦有顯著自我探索、自我認同、推進自我實現等作用,對於社會工作者則具有專業圖像建構的意義。
The researcher was originally a teacher in the Department of Social Work. Due to the school development plane, The researcher was transferred to the Department of Funeral and Death Care Services. In order to ensure the teaching content meets the learning needs of students, the researcher conducted a survey to understand the motivations of students for enrolling in the course. The research found that most students had experiences related to death or had a professional need for topics related to death and life care. Consequently, the researcher adjusted the course model from traditional theory lectures and case to focusing on students' life stories. Expressive art therapy combined with narrative therapy was used to assist students in exploring and organizing their life stories to gain a deeper understanding of individual experiences. Through this approach, students could transform their life experiences into the foundation for future career development, enhance their empathetic abilities in client services, and deepen their skills in helping others. Subsequently, the researcher applied this research method in general education courses and social service practices, discovering that this approach had a significant impact on students' self-exploration, self-identity, and self-realization. For social workers, it also held significance in constructing a professional image.
