社會問題認知與志工意願教學初探－以某科大通識課為例

社會問題是由於社會結構變遷所發生的某種情境，其影響足以危害社會全體或一部分人的福利或生活安全，因而引起人們的注意，認為需要採取集體行動，予以解決或改善。本研究在通識選修課程以問卷方式瞭解六十位大學生對於社會問題的認知與參與志工的意願。結果顯示，學生認為最嚴重的前三名分別為車禍、殺人和污染。在動物虐待和食安嚴重程度問題，女生明顯高於男生。有無宗教信仰，對問題認知影響甚小。解決社會問題需要志工的參與，在志工意願方面，以動保、預防車禍和食安三者比較高。女生擔任志工意願高於男生。有宗教信仰者擔任志工的意願略高於無宗教信仰者。研究建議有三，第一、除了性別和宗教信仰之外，可以增加科系與年級等變項進行分析。第二、可以使用訪談方法，以蒐集更多質性資料。第三、可以進一步探討社會問題的認知與志工意願兩者之間的關聯性。

並列摘要

A social problem is defined as a situation that derives from social change and may negatively affect the lives or benefits of a part or the whole society. Collective actions will be needed to solve these problems before they cause severe destruction and damage. To understand students' perceptions of social problems, a questionnaire was designed and given to 60 students. The results showed that the top three severe problems that students ranked were traffic accidents, violent crimes, and environment pollution. However, the top three problems students would like to volunteer to provide help were not the same. The study also found that female students and religious students showed higher willingness to help than their male and nonreligious counterparts. Suggestions for future research include collecting more qualitative data through interviews, and identifying more connections between social issues and student volunteerism.
