  • 專案導向活動在過去30年中,一向被認定能夠帶動學習者為中心的學習,並能激發學習者自主,但是至今少有研究注意老師跟學生如何合作一起完成專案。本文以質性個案研究方法,聚焦於一所國際學校,多年來固定舉行的話劇形式的專案導向活動。資料來源為2020-2021那一年的專案,包括活動編排、課程設計、老師的課程紀錄、老師及學生訪問等。經由學習者自主之理論框架與關鍵事件分析,探討這個專案導向活動中的學習者自主與師生合作。研究發現,此專案導向活動,因為歷時過久,讓老師和學生對於活動所需要的熱誠及態度產生落差,學生也多有抗拒。在這種情況下,一位同學默默地擔任學生及老師間的橋樑,讓專案導向活動得以順利完成。根據此個案,本研究建議學校,面對長期舉辦的專案導向活動,可能需要重新檢視活動原本的學習目的,讓師生都明白其用意,或考慮提出新活動,激發老師和學生的興趣與熱情。此外,一場話劇的完成,老師及學生之間的合作可啟發學習者自主。因話劇準備老師跟學生都需費上很多時間跟心力,教師們在挑選學生領導者之前,可多觀察學生之間的互動再來篩選。


    Project-based learning (PBL) has been a popular and successful way to provide student-centered learning and create learner autonomy for over three decades. However, there is little emphasis and deep dive into the collaboration that occurs between the students and the teacher in PBL. This case study contextualized a project-based learning (PBL) experience of a teacher with her students in a playlet writing contest, held at an international school in northern Taiwan in the school year 2020 - 2021. Using a qualitative, case study approach, data was collected through teaching logs, teaching materials, and interviews with the students. Through the theoretical frameworks of learner agency and a critical events analysis, the results indicated that gaps in student and teacher understanding of PBL meant there were initial signs of resistance. Two themes that emerged from this study were: (1) how a long-standing PBL creates gaps in teacher and student perceptions of the end goal and overall activity, a student who takes initiative thus builds a bridge between the teachers and students for the project to be completed successfully, and (2) how student-teacher collaboration can foster learner agency and a community of practice.
