“做中学”(Learning by doing)是美国实用主义哲学家约翰·杜威（John Dewey，1859-1952）主张的教育理念，对二十世纪的教育方式具有深远的影响。笔者秉持“做中学”的方式贯彻于教学，效果显著。本文分享笔者在美国斯坦福大学教“文图学”的经验。“文图学”研究图像文本的观看之道，是笔者近年开发的学术方向。本文举了三个教学实例，采取“做中学”的方式，配合课程设计，学生能够自然理解汉字的造字原则、中国绘画图卷的叙事结构，以及细察书画笔法。
Abstract
‘Learning by doing,’ a pedagogical theory developed by American pragmatist John Dewey (1859-1952), has sent reverberations through educational systems in the 20th century. As a teacher, sticking to the ‘Learning by doing’ principle has proved to be highly productive in my educational practices. This paper puts emphasis on my experience of teaching ‘Text and Image Studies’ course at Stanford University. Such a research approach is currently theorised by myself, aiming at exploring the visual perception of texts and images. With detailed course plans, this paper provides three specific teaching cases applying the ‘Learning by doing’ method to help students effortlessly understand the structural rules of Chinese characters, the narrative forms of scroll paintings, brush strokes in Chinese painting and calligraphy.
Keywords: Learning by doing, Text and Image Studies, Stanford University, Chinese characters, Calligraphy, Paintings
