課程目標及內涵 (Course Objectives and Contents) :
真菌在生物五界中，獨占一界，其生命形式、生態功能亦獨樹一幟，自經典釀造產業到現代生物科技產業都扮演重要角色。真菌界在演化上介於動物與植物之間，有獨特的形態構造與生理機制，豐富的多樣性與重要的生態功能，在分類與遺傳學研究屢有新的進展，食品與工業應用發展快速，本課程運用科技整合方式做課程設計，讓學生透過資料蒐集與討論，引發對社會問題的關心，並了解真菌科技發展與社會之間的關聯，進而培養學員對真菌學的認識、價值判斷與解決問題的能力。本課程以講授、錄影帶、野外實習、養菌場參觀、參加研討會與實驗操作讓同學認識真菌學。
Fungi constitute a distinct kingdom in the biological classification, possessing unique life forms and ecological functions. From traditional brewing industries to modern biotechnology sectors, fungi play pivotal roles. Evolutionarily positioned between animals and plants, the fungal kingdom exhibits distinctive morphological structures and physiological mechanisms. With rich diversity and crucial ecological functions, ongoing advancements in classification and genetics contribute to our understanding. Rapid developments in food and industrial applications further highlight the significance of fungi. This course employs an integrated approach to curriculum design, utilizing technology to facilitate data collection and discussions. Through this process, students are encouraged to develop a heightened awareness of societal issues and comprehend the interplay between fungal biotechnology and society. Moreover, the course aims to cultivate students' understanding of mycology, their ability to assess its value, and their problem-solving skills. Teaching methods include lectures, video presentations, field trips, visits to cultivation facilities, participation in seminars, and hands-on laboratory experiments to acquaint students with the field of mycology.
