東方美人竟是茶：跨領域美感課程的發展與實踐

Oriental Beauty is TEA: The Development and Practice of Curriculum for Cross-disciplinary Aesthetic Education

本文旨在探討跨領域美感課程的發展與實踐。以家鄉的「東方美人茶」為題，設計「說茶」、「知茶」、「懂茶」、「舞茶」四個主題課程，從「說茶」導入自然、有機栽種茶葉的概念；再以「知茶」體驗自然、有機茶葉的生長與製作過程；接著又以「懂茶」探究茶飲的優劣；最後運用「舞茶」揉合藝術創作，將茶葉蘊含的美感展現出來。在教學的過程中，每個主題課程皆以美感為核心，進行跨領域教學。此外，也以「TEA」做為學生學習模組，T是Thinking（思考），E是Exploring（探究），A是Action（行動）。老師先引導學生思考，再進行主題探究後以繪畫、舞蹈及戲劇表演方式呈現學習結果。希望透過跨領域美感課程的學習，增進學生對學科知識的興趣，同時能夠感受美、欣賞美，進而創造美，提升美感的人文素養，以美修心，成為有德之人。
