五種體驗式教育實踐方法

書院系統培育學生成為具有家國情懷的良好公民,書院的社群生活及活動,亦旨在提升宿生在公民責任心、全球競爭力、知識整合能力、團隊協作、服務與領導、文化參與、健康生活的各個勝任力所具備的品格質素。書院教育爲了培養學生七大勝任力的素質,爲學生提供了五大書院教育舉措,包括活動學習、共膳教育、學術支持、書院課程、關顧服務。

活動學習

澳門大學住宿式書院的宿生來自不同專業背景,營造了充滿啟發性的環境,讓大家得互相學習,增廣見聞,並且學習如何與不同專業的人共存、合作。書院教育環境使大部分學生有機會參與在活動籌備和策劃的過程中,學生不但是活動的參加者,也是積極的活動組織及推動者,書院教育通過投入書院活動從策劃到反饋的不同階段或體驗培養學生各項的勝任力。

共膳教育

書院與學院協同育人,書院系統以體驗式課程規劃提供全人教育的環境,書院生活的同宿共膳、師友互動的氛圍,扮演着十分重要的育人角色。

書院課程

書院學分必修科目 CPED1000 “住宿式書院體驗式學習” 的目的是協助大一新生適應大學學習模式和生活,配合書院專業教育團隊,教導學生有效地計劃四年的大學生活,提升事業競爭力。另外,本科大二學生必須修讀科目 CPED2001 “住宿式書院社區團隊專題” 主動學習及體驗式學習設計活動推廣良好公民及相關的各種正面價值觀。這些課程培養學生把在學院課程學到的專業知識和通識,活學活用,融入多文化、多學科的書院環境,學習和不同專業及背景的院生溝通及交流,通過多元團隊合作而發揮協同效應  。這些將會貫徹到住宿式書院生活的各方面。有關書院必修課資料,可以瀏覽大學注冊處網頁

學術支持

書院必須為所有宿生分配至少一位書院教學人員為其大學生活的指導老師,定期面談,建立點對點的個人溝通渠道和互信,執行對每一位宿生的關愛以及學術支持的教育工作。每位學生領袖必須領導至少一組宿生小組協助書院學術人員提供同儕關顧服務。

關顧服務

書院教學、行政人員及學生領袖均有接受有關提供情緒關顧輔導及調解技巧的基本培訓,大部分書院學術人員擁有國際認可的全球職涯發展師資格(Global Career Development Facilitator) 。另外,在副校長(學生事務)辦公室的協調下,每所書院均獲心理輔導處每周分派兼職輔導員駐書院為學生提供專業輔導。學生通過定期與導師見面,使導師有更多機會爲學生提供適切的關顧服務或學術支持。

Practising through Five Major Experiential Education Measures

The college system aims to cultivate students into good citizens with a sense of national identity. The communal life and activities in the colleges also aim to enhance students’ qualities in responsible citizenship, global competitiveness, knowledge integration, teamwork and collaboration, service and leadership, cultural engagement, and a healthy lifestyle. In order to develop students’ competencies in these seven areas, the college education provides five major educational measures, including activity learning, communal meal participation, academic support, college credit-bearing courses, and pastoral care.

Activity Learning

College education encourages students to participate in the planning and organization of activities, fostering their competence and skills. Students become both participants and organizers of activities, which helps develop their various competencies.

Communal Meal Participation

College life emphasizes communal dining and interaction among students, playing an important role in character development and cultivating a sense of community.

College Courses

Colleges offer specific courses designed to enhance students’ college experience and equip them with skills for their future careers. These courses help students integrate their academic knowledge with real-world experiences, promote cross-disciplinary collaboration, and enhance their communication skills.

Academic Support

Colleges provide academic support to students, including personalized mentorship and regular meetings with academic staff. Student leaders also assist in providing peer support services to their fellow students. Each student in the college system is assigned a mentor who provides guidance and support throughout their university life.

Pastoral Care

College staff and student leaders receive training in mental health first aids and conflict resolution. Most of the academic staff members working in colleges are holders of Global Career Development Facilitator qualification. Additionally, colleges have access to part-time counselors who provide professional counseling services to students.
