講座摘要
一般認為，學校學習是抽象、獨立、認知及先決的，不過，這種教學法常與現實世界脫節。在學校環境中，學習者經常在學習後一年內忘記課程內容。然而，許多研究證明，人類不時在實踐中學習；情感、社交及親身體驗往往有助於認知學習，從而轉化為知識。是次講座中，鄧偉文博士將介紹一種名為「參與式行動研究」的教學法，該教學法透過安排學習者在陌生領域進行小型民族誌，嘗試把抽象的學習與實踐經驗連結。檢視參與者的論文功課，研究發現這種教學法有助學習者：1) 識別所學概念之間的微小差異，以及2) 把所學概念與日常生活聯繫。除此以外，研究亦發現在論文功課中有深刻反思的學習者通常在他們的田野研究中有切身的情感、社交和身體體驗。
Brief Description
School learning is often assumed to be abstract, independent, cognitive, and predetermined. Yet, this kind of learning is often disconnected from the lived-in world; in a school setting, learners often forget the course material within a year of completion. Yet, many studies have shown that humans often learn in practice; affective, social, and physical experiences often contribute to cognitive learning and far transfer of knowledge. In this seminar, Dr. Tang introduce a pedagogical approach called “Participatory Action Research” (PAR) which attempts to link abstract learning with actual practice by arranging learners to conduct mini-ethnography in an unfamiliar field. By reviewing their response papers, such an approach is found to engage the learners to 1) identify nuances in learned concepts and 2) relate the learned concepts with their everyday life. Furthermore, learners who have deep reflection in their papers are often found to have close affective, social, and physical encounters in their field.
