本課程為本所發展生命教育教學與研究特色，在生命教育學群下所開授探討生命教育理論與實務的基礎課程。課程的設計從「生命」的概念著手，接續思考生命教育的理念與內涵，探討如何建構自我正向的生命價值觀，以及構思如何在教學場域中規劃與實踐培養學生正向的生命價值，讓修習之教師(研究生)得以將所學融入日常教學與生活輔導中，並協助學生活更有意義的人生。課程整體設計的核心放在如何體認與建構正向的生命價值觀，並在生命歷程(生活)的實踐上強調在情境中，轉換為師生互動關係與影響力。在課程架構上則分成三個面向來探討：第一個層面探討培育自我的生命意義為基礎，主要探討生命的意義與生命價值議題；第二個層面探討生命倫理的議題，特別強調人與他人、人與環境的關係；第三個層面探討生命的自我實現議題，包括自我的成長以及社會關懷，並特別注重十二年國教實施後的適性輔導與學習增能。

This course is a basic course that explores the theory and practice of life education and is offered under the life education cluster to develop the life education teaching and research characteristics of our institute. The design of the course starts from the concept of "life" and continues to think about the concept and connotation of life education, exploring how to construct self-positive life values, and conceiving how to plan and practice in the teaching field to cultivate students' positive life values, so that practicing teachers (graduate students) can integrate what they have learned into daily teaching and life counseling, and help students live a more meaningful life. The core of the overall design of the course is how to recognize and construct positive life values, and the practice of life course (life) emphasizes the transformation into teacher-student interaction and influence in situations. The curriculum structure is divided into three aspects to discuss: the first level explores the meaning of life based on cultivating the self, focusing on the meaning of life and life value issues; the second level explores the issue of bioethics, with a special emphasis on the relationship between people and others, and the relationship between people and the environment; the third level explores the issue of self-realization of life, including self-growth and social care, with special emphasis on adaptive counseling and learning enhancement after the implementation of the 12-year national education.
