摘要:The use of film as supplementary materials in the classroom has become common for
higher education teachers of environmental studies. It is, however, rare that film is
incorporated as the primary instructional medium. This paper reports a case study on
a documentary film-based environmental studies course which sought to engage
students in exploring and reflecting on a wide range of locally significant environment
issues. While film is the focus of the course, post-film reflective discussion is an integral
part in order to help students identify and clarity their thoughts and ideas. A pre and
post survey and post-instruction interviews were carried out with two cohorts of
university students for the purpose of evaluating this course. The results suggest that,
using documentaries to repeatedly expose students to real issues, the course proved
to be beneficial to developing students’ perspective-taking and critical thinking
abilities and sense of relevance, which collectively leads to a more pro-environmental
disposition.
