地質做中學

Abstract

地質科學之教育基礎是為了培養學生對地球的認識，瞭解地球的組成物質、地球的結構以及地球演化過程。台灣位於歐亞板塊和菲律賓海板塊的交界，是環太平洋最活躍的火山和地震帶，造就絕美而稀有的地質景觀。本計畫將針對學生們所期望且有興趣的野外地質考察課程，設計更多元的實作方式、評量方式、討論模式與更創新的教具，為了提高學習成效，將在野外進行實作評量，設計有趣且引人入勝的學習模式，以競賽的方式進行野外記錄，激發學習動機。利用野外考察、做中學、善用網路資訊平台三大概念加入課程中，期望透過多元的教材和交流方式，增添學習的豐富度，期望激發學生們對地質科學的熱誠，以幫助學生將理論與實踐相結合，增強對地質學的熱情和學習效果，進而提升學生的野外調查的專業技能，達到地質知識傳承的目的，亦為將來的就業做好準備。 The educational fundamental of geological sciences is to cultivate students' understanding of the earth for the earth's material, the process of the earth's activities, and the structure of the earth. Taiwan is positioned at the convergent boundary of Eurasia Plate and Philippine Sea Plate with the most active volcanoes and earthquake zone of the Pacific Rim. This course improvement plan will aim at the geological field works and other practical courses that students anticipated, provide multi-facet lab works and the innovative design of teaching aids, in order to attract more students in the enthusiasm of the geological world and achieve the popularity of general geological knowledge. In the field geological practice course, intriguing and engaging activity modes are designed and with rewards to the winning group for stimulating more learning motivation. To improve learning effectiveness, field operational tests are added during the field lab practice, in order to help students combining textbook theory with field practice and enhance the enthusiasm and learning effectiveness of geology for students improving the professional skills in practical applications and readiness for future employment.
