從課程的各個單元，來幫助學生促進對自我的認識，覺察自己與環境間(家人、朋友、學校等)的互動樣貌；特別是覺察與反思，常常是作為助人工作者的前提準備要件。本課程運用多元的設計方式，包括團體活動、小組討論、影片欣賞、課堂講授、活動體驗、場域參觀等作法，來協助學生經驗更多的自我探索歷程。

From each unit of the course, we help students improve their understanding of themselves and become aware of the interaction between themselves and their environment (family, friends, school, etc.); especially awareness and reflection are often prerequisites for being a helping worker. This course uses a variety of design methods, including group activities, group discussions, video appreciation, classroom lectures, activity experiences, site visits, etc., to help students experience more self-exploration processes.

本課程為大一的選修課程，目的為協助大一同學有瞭解自己之機會，能藉由課程內外之設計，來探索本身生理、心理的「健康、身體形貌、價值、認知、情感」各部分，以及環境的「家庭、學校、社會」各方面對己之影響，期待能讓學生在瞭解自己後，增加自我肯定、自我調適等成長的能力，以作為未來成熟的社會工作者之預備。
社會工作專業人員在協助案主時，常不免碰觸自身的觀點、價值、情緒、生命議題、框架等等，社會工作者若不能察覺自我、或是防衛以對，常常不但不能協助案主、還妨害了案主的權益；在工作中我們常提醒、解決別人的問題，卻忽略了察覺、改善自身的盲點，這樣的服務是很難提升品質的，因此，能自我瞭解、自我肯定、自我接納與自我控制，常是助人開始的第一步。
在本課程內容上，包括了：個人生命經驗的回顧、家庭關係影響的分析，使同學開始瞭解自己如何成為現在的自己，並學習面對自己的優缺點與特質個性，在嘗試分享中，逐漸練習自我開放與接納，進而發展正面的自我概念。
另外，也藉由討論生命中各種不同議題如人際、兩性、親密、疏離、死亡、失落、壓力、生涯、休閒、宗教等，來察覺自身與他人觀點，並學習反思與彈性、尊重他人與多元的文化。最後，也學習情緒的察覺與壓力的管理，以及抉擇和問題解決的能力，增加自己未來生涯的適應力、與協助他人的能力、和持續探索自己的興趣。
課程進行方式為：課程討論、資料閱讀、課外作業、小組分享、電影賞析等，並依實際情形調整。

This course is an elective course for first-year students. The purpose is to help first-year students have the opportunity to understand themselves. Through the design inside and outside the course, they can explore the various parts of their physiology and psychology, including "health, body appearance, value, cognition, and emotion," as well as the impact of the environment on themselves, such as "family, school, and society." It is expected that after students understand themselves, they can increase their self-affirmation, self-adjustment and other growth abilities, so as to prepare for mature social workers in the future.
When social work professionals assist clients, they often inevitably come into contact with their own opinions, values, emotions, life issues, frameworks, etc. If social workers are unable to detect themselves or defend themselves against them, they often not only fail to assist clients, but also harm the clients' rights. At work, we often remind and solve other people's problems, but neglect to detect and improve our own blind spots. It is difficult to improve the quality of such services. Therefore, being able to self-understand, self-affirm, self-accept and self-control is often the first step in helping others.
The content of this course includes: review of personal life experience and analysis of the impact of family relationships, allowing students to begin to understand how they became who they are today, and learn to face their own strengths, weaknesses, and personalities. In the process of sharing, they gradually practice self-openness and acceptance, and then develop a positive self-concept.
In addition, by discussing various issues in life such as interpersonal relationships, gender, intimacy, alienation, death, loss, stress, career, leisure, religion, etc., students can become aware of their own and other people's perspectives, and learn to reflect, be flexible, respect others, and embrace diverse cultures. Finally, students also learn emotional awareness and stress management, as well as decision-making and problem-solving abilities, to increase their adaptability in future careers, their ability to help others, and their continued exploration of their interests.
The course is conducted in the following ways: course discussion, material reading, extracurricular assignments, group sharing, movie appreciation, etc., and will be adjusted according to the actual situation.
