摘要

21世紀知識經濟時代的特色是充滿不確定性與革命性的大變革，現代大學生面對種種前所未見的考驗，其所需具備的能力，絕非僅侷限於某個專門領域的知識而已，而必須是跨領域的核心能力。大學通識教育最主要的功能就是演繹貫穿知識領域以產生智慧，可彌補專才教育的流弊，適合養成大學生跨領域與因應變革所需之核心能力。然而，目前大學通識教育常被誤解為是專業教育的點綴，存在著課程規劃不佳、學生學習興趣低落等問題。有鑑於此，本研究將大學生核心能力之目標融入一門通識教育課程，以探索體驗式的課程規劃，達成培養大學生「團隊合作」、「溝通」、「問題解決」三項核心能力之目標。本研究以強調構思、省思、持續努力過程的行動研究爲概念架構，蒐集多樣的評量資料，來探討學生核心能力的成長，並進行深刻的教師教學省思，實踐一項「教學」與「研究」相輔相成的課程行動研究。本研究之成果可提供通識教育養成學生核心能力的具體建議，也可提供大學教師進行通識教育課程研究的重要參考。

The 21st century knowledge based economy is characterized by two qualities, uncertainty and revolutionary change. Today, people encounter trails never experienced before and require competencies cross various disciplines rather than expertise restricted in one discipline. The General Education at university aims to cultivate core competencies connecting various knowledge domains, suitable for cultivating university student core competence. This research proposes to design an Education course with the teaching model of Adventure Project, and to analyze its effectiveness in cultivating university student core competencies. The teaching effectiveness will be analyzed based on quantitative and qualitative data collected before and after the course teaching, addressing changes of students' core competencies and interest at taking General Education courses. Results of this research will serve to provide reference for university in cultivating their students' core competencies, and suggestions for university teachers who wish to enhance their teaching effectiveness on Liberal Education course.
