科技許諾人們一個美麗新世界,卻也將我們帶往不確定且充滿風險的未來。就高等教育這個科學傳播的場域來說,除了傳授科學知識之外,如何引導青年學子正視科技所帶來的負面影響,同時也是必須正視的課題。本研究所欲探討融入科學倫理專題的通識課程,必須是一種能打動學習者「人性」的倫理教學;除了蒐集並評析相關的科學倫理議題與案例,還希望把這些議題和案例放在教室的情境中,與學生們對話,並透過相關的文本、多媒體與作業設計來啟發他們情感、同理心與道德想像力,使他們具備能與他人和外在環境「切題回應」的倫理知能。本文從科技所帶來的負面影響及其所觸及的倫理議題出發,透過哲學課程的設計與教學實踐,來探究一種確實可操作的通識教學向度。
