本學期之《生態行為與設計論》課程，乃以生態心理學之環境認知理論作為學術研究基礎，主要透過團體閱讀討論及田野研究的教學模式，引導學生從日常生活環境中發生的人事物樣貌中，重新體認其對自然元素（光、影、材料、質地…等）、生態法則（感官、行為、認知、律動、能源循環…等）、環境價值（空間氛圍、Affordance…等）的體感經驗與心靈感受，強化感官知覺能力與環境互動內容，並重新檢視「物對人、物對生活、物對環境」的意義，從而建立具人文思維的設計觀。首先透過專書閱讀建立研究理論基礎，再由修課學生組成研究團隊，透過「參與－體驗－問題探索－提案對策－環境回饋」之「環境共生設計」流程，並應用生態心理學與環境知覺相關理論知識，對選定之場域進行系統性、具生態行為概念之田野研究，並學習撰寫研究報告。

This semester's "Ecological Behavior and Design Theory" course is based on the environmental cognition theory of ecological psychology as the basis of academic research. It mainly uses group reading discussions and field research teaching methods to guide students to re-understand their understanding of natural elements (light, shadow, materials, texture, etc.) and ecological methods from the appearance of people and things that occur in the daily environment. (senses, behavior, cognition, rhythm, energy cycle...etc.), somatosensory experience and spiritual feeling of environmental value (space atmosphere, Affordance...etc.), strengthen sensory perception ability and environmental interaction content, and re-examine the significance of "things to people, things to life, things to the environment", thereby establishing a design concept with humanistic thinking. First, the research theoretical foundation is established through special book reading, and then the students form a research team. Through the "Environmental Symbiosis Design" process of "Participation-Experience-Problem Exploration-Proposal Solutions-Environmental Feedback" and the application of theoretical knowledge related to ecological psychology and environmental perception, they conduct systematic field research with ecological behavioral concepts on the selected site, and learn to write research reports.
