澳門大學張崑崙書院:2024「鄉村振興的教育賦能」暑期服務學習活動

暑假期間,澳門大學張崑崙書院與霍英東珍禧書院的十七名師生跨越千里,攜手復旦大學的師生共同前往被譽爲“世界瞭解中國農村的窗口”的中國·江村,開展「鄉村振興的教育賦能」主題服務學習,從理論學習、實地調查與服務實踐的多種模式中引導學生學以致用,扎根田野,深入瞭解我國鄉土教育資源,激發同學們對中華農耕文明的文化自覺。

在復旦大學的三天理論學習中,學生們深入理解了教育在鄉村振興中的關鍵作用,掌握了跨學科項目式學習的核心理念及研究方法,為後續的實踐奠定基礎。服務實踐主要在社會學家費孝通著作《江村經濟》的調查地開弦弓村展開,兩校師生與當地江村實踐學校的中小學生組隊,開展了一系列豐富的探索與調研,為江村社區帶來具有實質意義的文化產品和教育貢獻。「費孝通先生與江村的故事」小組通過與村民的深入訪談、參觀費孝通紀念館以及閱讀相關史料,將費孝通的故事轉化為文創紙牌,生動地再現了費孝通與江村的深厚淵源。「江村教育的變遷」小組通過與村民交談,深入瞭解了教育的發展軌跡及城鄉教育的差異,創作了反映江村代際間教育變遷的金句明信片。古橋探索小組則通過尋訪古跡、翻閱村志、進行橋樑建模等多種方式,製作了古橋保護宣傳手冊和歌謠。小學教育專業的張崑崙書院院生區宇欣表示,在地化的服務實踐讓自己所學融入到對當地孩子的教育中,從而更深地領悟理論知識的運用:「這也是教學相長的過程。」

在這次服務學習中,兩校師生與當地學生共同探索家鄉,開展實地調查和互動交流,加深了對江村歷史與文化的理解,促進了當地教育與文化資源的挖掘和傳承。此外,澳大學生還參觀了上海和江蘇等地的歷史古跡和城市博物館,深入體驗江浙地區水鄉漊港的景色,瞭解當地發展脈絡和文化底蘊。通過此次服務學習,澳大師生們增進了對華東地區歷史文化的瞭解,並以富有創造力的方式服務當地的青少年發展和社區文化建設。本次活動注重理論與實踐的有機結合,兩校師生不僅對鄉村振興和教育的關係等重要課題進行了深入探討,更通過破冰和互動增進了兩地青年的友誼,深化了澳滬高校的交流與合作。

This summer, in partnership with Fudan University, 17 representatives from the University of Macau’s Cheong Kun Lun College and Henry Fok Pearl Jubilee College participated in the “Empowering Rural Revitalization through Education” Service Learning Program in Jiangcun, China. This initiative was designed to integrate students’ theoretical knowledge with practical skills, aiming to explore and enhance China’s rural educational landscape and cultural heritage.

The program began with an intensive three-day theoretical study at Fudan University, where students explored the critical role of education in rural development. They engaged with Interdisciplinary Project-Based Learning to connect theoretical knowledge with practical skills. Following this, participants conducted on-site research in Kaixian Gong Village, the site of Fei Xiaotong’s famous book “Peasant Life in China.” Collaborating with local students, they conducted impactful research and developed cultural artifacts, enriching the local community’s educational and cultural legacy. Projects encompassed creating a series of paper cards that illustrated Fei Xiaotong’s deep connection with Jiangcun, as well as producing postcards capturing the evolution of educational perspectives across generations. Additionally, teams documented local ancient bridges, celebrating their historical significance through brochures and ballads. AO U IAN, a CKLC Student majoring in primary education, reflected on the experience, stating, “Integrating academic knowledge into the local children’s education provided a deeper understanding of theoretical application, embodying the principle of mutual teaching and learning.”

The program deepened participants’ appreciation for Jiangcun’s history and culture and promoted the exploration and inheritance of local educational and cultural resources. Moreover, students broadened their understanding of East China’s rich history and culture through visits to historical sites and museums in Shanghai and Jiangsu. The Service Learning Program facilitated a meaningful dialogue on the role of rural education in revitalization. A series of interactive activities have not only enriched the friendships among students but also bolstered the academic relationship between Macau and Shanghai, fostering collaboration and cultural exchange.
