課程概述 |
本課程為歷史系系定大二必修課程(大一有意願之學生也可修習),主要內容在介紹西元1500年之前,世界主要文明區域的發展、接觸與互動。由於歷史系諸多課程已對中國及東亞地區有深入之介紹,本課程將以上古至中古晚期的近東與歐洲地區為主,培養學生對此區域歷史發展的認識,也能掌握近東及西方文明和世界其他區域的交互影響,並給予學生基礎史學訓練。
*大一學生也可修習
*本課程每週進度,請見下方,但亦視學生學習狀況,部分內容可能調整。 |
課程目標 |
1. 訓練核心能力:本課程透過文獻閱讀、史料分析、摘要寫作、心智圖繪製及課堂討論,培養學生基本的聽、說、讀、寫之學術能力。
2. 掌握變與不變:學生應一方面能認知歷史的延續性,以及地理環境對文明發展的長時段影響;另一方面也能理解特定時代的變化趨勢、創新思維和傳統觀念之間的碰撞,以及特定地理區域如何因信仰或生活方式自成一主體。換言之,即對普遍性與特殊性雙重的掌握。
3. 鼓勵比較與連結:本課程在各單元授課中將引導學生比較及連結不同區域或文明之間的發展,也能反思今日所面對的文化與歷史議題。 |
