學習是一輩子的事情，瞭解學習記憶的形成，將有助於提升自我學習的能力。本課程將從生物學的角度切入，使同學瞭解大腦與學習記憶是如何發生關係的。透過本課程希望同學可以瞭解：(一) 大腦的結構與功能（二）學習記憶的科學意義（三）如何提升在自我學習的能力。學習與記憶是人類智慧的開端，隨著神經科學的蓬勃發展以及醫學影像科技的進步，人類終於可以開始探究學習與記憶是如何產生的。眾所周知，學習記憶的產生主要發生於大腦，而人類的大腦是約一千五百億個神經細胞所組合而成的複雜構造，這些複雜的神經細胞在學習記憶發生的過程中，產生了什麼樣的變化，而記憶又是以什麼樣的形式儲存在腦細胞中。近年來科學界已經逐漸明聊學習與記憶發生的機制，甚者透過對於此一機制的瞭解，科學家更進一步希望研發提升記憶的藥物，諸如此類的議題，是本課程所關注的，也期待透過課程的討論，能夠促使同學了解自己並提升學習的動力。Learning is a lifelong matter, and understanding the formation of learning and memory will help improve your ability to learn on your own. This course will start from a biological perspective, allowing students to understand how the brain is related to learning and memory. Through this course, we hope that students can understand: (1) The structure and function of the brain (2) The scientific significance of learning and memory (3) How to improve the ability of self-learning. Learning and memory are the beginning of human wisdom. With the vigorous development of neuroscience and the advancement of medical imaging technology, humans can finally begin to explore how learning and memory are generated. As we all know, learning and memory mainly occur in the brain, and the human brain is a complex structure composed of about 150 billion nerve cells. What happens to these complex nerve cells during the process of learning and memory? changes, and in what form memories are stored in brain cells. In recent years, the scientific community has gradually become clear about the mechanism of learning and memory. Even through the understanding of this mechanism, scientists further hope to develop drugs that improve memory. Issues such as this are the focus of this course, and we also look forward to through the course. Discussions can help students understand themselves and improve their motivation for learning.
通識課程不同於專業課程，實乃著重引導學生主動關懷、探索與實踐人類的終極價值與智慧；同時通識課程所提供的知識，不是專業課程的淺薄化，而是具有厚實感的基礎知識。本校根據創校傳統、校訓與辦學理念訂定通識教育定四大基本素養：求真素養、篤信素養、力行素養與宏通素養，以具體落實本校通識教育之理想。希望本校學生能發揮自主學習精神，在通識課程老師的引導下，逐漸培養其通識教育基本素養，並期待能終身學習。各種基本素養並訂有具體的學習成效指標，以做教學與學習成效之自我檢證的具體指標，分述如下：求真素養（自然領域）：1.學習自然科學的方法或哲學以探索物理與生命世界的微妙，2.發揮就事論事的精神，3.能參與科學議題相關的公共事務。篤信素養（人文領域）：1.學習人文精神以探索內在自我與領會人類文明的深層價值，2.發展自律精神，3.能運用理性進行道德推理。力行素養（社會領域）：1.運用社會科學的方法或哲學以激發學生的傾聽與溝通能力，2.承認與尊重多元差，3.實踐民主審議的精神。宏通素養（跨領域）：1.追求人類的整體價值，2.融通求真、篤信、力行等素養於個人生命之中。各領域的課程對於學習成效指標可以跨選，不必拘泥。
General courses are different from professional courses. They actually focus on guiding students to actively care for, explore and practice the ultimate value and wisdom of mankind. At the same time, the knowledge provided by general courses is not the superficiality of professional courses, but basic knowledge with a solid sense. . Based on the school’s founding tradition, school motto and school philosophy, the school has formulated four basic qualities for general education: truth-seeking quality, belief quality, practical quality and general quality, in order to concretely implement the school’s ideals of general education. We hope that our students can develop their independent learning spirit and gradually develop their basic literacy in general education under the guidance of general education teachers, and look forward to lifelong learning. Each basic literacy has specific learning effectiveness indicators for self-examination of teaching and learning effectiveness, which are described below: Truth-seeking literacy (natural field): 1. Learn the methods or philosophy of natural science to explore physics and the subtleties of the living world, 2. Use the spirit of discussing matters as they are, 3. Be able to participate in public affairs related to scientific issues. Belief literacy (humanities field): 1. Learn the humanistic spirit to explore the inner self and understand the deep value of human civilization, 2. Develop self-discipline, 3. Be able to use rationality for moral reasoning. Practical literacy (social field): 1. Use social science methods or philosophy to stimulate students' listening and communication skills, 2. Recognize and respect diversity, 3. Practice the spirit of democratic deliberation. Hongtong literacy (cross-field): 1. Pursue the overall value of human beings, 2. Integrate qualities such as truth-seeking, faith, and practice into personal life. Courses in various fields can choose from different learning outcome indicators, so there is no need to be rigid.
