服務學習大滿貫!「溫暖白色巨塔的小螺絲釘」首場跨域協同教學

Full House for WHC-USR Service Learning! First Session of Cross-disciplinary Co-teaching

(20210303季慕華撰稿) 繼深碗課程「國際專業服務領導」在2/24晚上開張後，微型課「商管專業服務學習：醫療服務行銷與管理」 也於3/3首次登場。事實上這次是本學期第一次跨域協同教學，四班學生齊聚文園會議室，聆聽來自小港醫院社會服務室(Social Work Office)李庚恕主任和義大醫院社會工作科林宜峰主任和駱佳琦督導，接力介紹醫院概況和志工工作。除少數學生因公假未能出席，一百多位學生到場，在安全社交距離下，熱鬧非凡。五位初學華語的外籍生則安排於前排座位，由季慕華老師協助翻譯演講內容，不遺漏重要訊息。

李庚恕主任簡介小港醫院的歷史和發展，尤其強調醫護、志工與病患之間的互敬互諒；志工的一個微笑或簡單的協助能夠提供病人最大的安慰，也是醫護最大的鼓勵，志工的長期投入更是城市友善的重大指標。駱佳琦督導是出現在團隊的影片的熟悉面孔，親自現身說法，以過來人為同學解說在義大的工作項目，也是由服務學習課程發展出個人職涯的最佳範例。協同教學部分結束時，在廖俊芳教授的翻轉安排下，由在現場的未來志工代表致贈感謝狀給與三位來賓。隨後四班學生分別帶入不同教室，分場進行後續的深碗和微型專業課程。微型課程第一次上課師生就發揮高效率，說明課程架構和內容後，立即順利完成分組，著手為志工服務和期末反思分享準備，並加入線上師生網路群組，維持密切聯繫，不因上課次數與時數皆較少而疏離。在遇見新夥伴、新目標、新學習形式的亢奮情緒中，緊湊又豐盛的一晚在燦爛夜空下結束。

(20210303 written by Yolanda) After the first class of “deep-bowled course” International Service Learning and Leadership on Feb.24, our “micro course” Integrated Service-learning in Business Administration: Healthcare Marketing and Management also started the first class on March 3, 2021. Actually this was the first cross-disciplinary co-teaching of the semester. Students from the our classes gathered at Wenyuan Conference Room to listen to the lecture by Director Gung-su Lee of Social Work Office, Kaohsiung Municipal Siaogang Hospital, Director Yi-feng Lin and Supervisor Jia-qi Lo of Social Work Section, E-Da Hospital, who took turns to introduce the hospital and voluntary work. Except for absence of a few students on official leave, the lecture hall was filled with over one hundred students kept in safe social distance. Five international students who are beginning learners of Mandarin were seated in the front rows with Ms. Yolanda Chi, whose interpreting helped them to seize the important messages in the lecture.

Director Lee briefly introduced the history and development of Siaogang Hospital and especially emphasized the mutual respect and understanding among medical personnel, volunteers and patients. A smile or a simple act of kindness from a volunteer could bring the greatest comfort to a patient and the greatest encouragement to the medical personnel. In addition, the involvement of volunteers had become an important index to the friendliness of a city. Supervisor Lo of E-Da Hospital, whose face we had been familiar with through the WHC-USR videos, appeared in person as an experienced volunteer to describe the tasks at the hospital. She was also a perfect example of developing a career from service learning. At the end of the co-teaching session, Prof. Melody Liao flipped the arrangement; the three guest speakers were awarded by our volunteers-to-be at the site. Afterwards, the students of the 4 classes were respectively led to different classrooms to continue their professional learning. As it was the first class meeting for the micro courses, both teachers and students wielded highly efficiency. Soon after the introduction to the course structure and content, students teamed up to prepare for volunteering and the semester-end reflection and sharing. Online teacher-student communication networks were also ready for close contact and follow-up to avoid feelings of remoteness and detachment due to the few class hours and in person meetings. In the excitement of meeting new partners, finding new goals, and experiencing new mode of learning, a busy but fruitful night for students ended under the sparkling light from the sky.
