Summary: | 碩士 === 臺北巿立體育學院 === 休閒運動管理學系碩士班 === 101 === The study designed the program of “Adventure and Character Education” with six topics of respect, responsibility, trust, mutual help, cooperation, and brave based on Experiential Learning Model. The program was implemented in an after-school-center and the adaptability and influences on the characters of students were discussed. Six courses were delivered in after-school-center, I (alias) during winter vacation. Participants were 18 students from third to sixth grade. The study adopted the approach of action research. Data were collected from research peers, group interview, journals, and feedbacks of students. The results showed, the program of adventure and character education had positive effects on the character cognition, attitudes, and behaviors of research participants after the courses were delivered. In addition, the timely consulting for incidents occurred during the courses would improve the character cognition of participants. Furthermore, the implementation of program required the cooperation among teaching group, after-school-center, and parents. Moreover, stabled teaching environment and teaching group would advance the stability of program and avoid the obstacles of implementation. The outcomes of character education can only be identified through chronic observations. Collect the feedbacks regarding the program from multiple channels could make up the deficiency of group interview and help identify the concept of character which would assist educators keeping tracking of the learning conditions of students. The suggestion proposed by peers would facilitate the teaching ability of educators and smooth the delivery of courses. The relationship among educators and students was also advanced after the implementation of program. It is suggested, after-school-center teachers should make appropriate identity shifts, adopt multiple methods for character education, and pursue self-education to initiate innovative courses.
