A.課程主旨及目標
本研究生層級的課程主要在於提升同學以社會學式的思考來評估個人生命史的能力,也 就是思考生命史作為一種社會結構,是由連續不斷的社會過程所構成;換言之,生命史是來 自於老齡化過程與社會脈絡變遷的匯流,隨著時間的演進而不斷變化。
本課程將致力於使同學熟悉社會學的生命歷程典範中所涵括的理論,方法及實質研究主 題。生命歷程典範有四大基調: (1)人類生活乃鑲嵌於歷史脈絡之中並受其影響;(2)個人雖 然透過自己的選擇與行動建構生命歷程,但在某種程度上仍然受到所處的社會及歷史情 境的限制;(3)生活中的各個領域,如工作,家庭,健康和社會背景,是相互交織纏繞的;(4)不 同生命階段的轉換所帶來的在人類發展歷程中的影響主要取決於轉換所發生的時機。
在學期進行中有三個問題必須時時銘記在心: (1)社會學家以何種概念來思考個人的生命 史?(2)社會學家對於個人生命史中的哪些特定部份特別感興趣?(3)社會學家使用哪些科 學的工具來回答他們的研究問題?以上三個主題將貫穿所有的閱讀材料。第一個主題關 聯到以社會學角度思考個人生命史時所使用的抽象原則,概念,假設及模型。由於聚焦在 人類行為的模式上,生命歷程的抽象推論往往有其侷限性。第二個主題牽涉到實質的研究 主題。究竟何種類型的研究問題較受到生命歷程社會學家的關注?特別突出的幾個研究 領域包括了工作,家庭,生理/心理健康,犯罪與偏差,社會經濟地位取得,動機,價值,和人格 等等。第三個主題則是反映出生命歷程社會學家在發掘個人生命史的社會面向時所採用 的科學策略。科學的研究方法,不論是質化抑或量化,基本上都包括測量,抽樣,及研究設計 等議題。由於生命歷程研究多需要貫時性資料,而實驗設計又往往不可得,統計分析因此 特別有其吸引力。
承上所述,生命歷程研究不論在性質及設計上都具有強烈的科際整合色彩,一般而言,包含 了社會學,歷史,心理學,人口學,以及,尤以近年為甚,行為基因學,其通常在於解決針對人類 發展過程中的恆常面與變遷面的複雜爭論。實質的研究領域則分布非常廣泛,從社會心理 學的結果(如壓力源,自尊感,職業價值觀,認知複雜性等),到家庭角色,婚配與生育模式,教 育與職業取得,退休,與偏差等。一個學期的課程實在無法窮盡此一領域內的所有主題,而 僅能從現存的理論架構與實證研究所構成的廣大母體中提供一個授課者認為稍具代表 性的取樣。因此本課程的目標在於透過研討會(seminar)的活動形式,針對閱讀材料進行評
估與討論,由此發展出一個思考個人生命史的社會學視角,並為每位同學自身的研究提供 一個出發點。本課程的最大挑戰在於學習者是否能夠界定出有助於思考自身研究興趣的 概念及方法論工具,從而理解社會力量是如何動態式與權變式地(in a dynamic and
contingent way)限制與促成老齡化的不同模式。
B.課程要求
本課程係以研討會形式加以組織,授課者會提供當週閱讀材料的簡單概述,而主要的教授 過程則是透過同學們針對閱讀材料的討論,報告,及對話完成。學期成績將基於以下三項 要求:
引導課堂討論 (30%)。每週由一至兩位同學負責引導討論,導引人可以參考每位課堂參 與者在上課前所送出的問題,或者可以將自身的研究興趣和指定閱讀材料作一個結合來 組織討論。在每週三下午五點前,每一位同學須提出 3-4 個討論問題以電郵寄給導引人 及授課者。
參與課堂討論 (20%)。同學應該在上課之前仔細閱讀以便提出高品質的討論問題並在課 堂上發表具有洞見之評論。同學如果額外閱讀非指定材料,而該讀物和討論主題有密切 相關,也非常歡迎同學貢獻所知,全班將可因此受惠。
研究論文或研究計畫 (50%)。同學須準備一份具有原創性的研究論文或研究計畫(15- 20 頁,double spaced),並在最後一至兩節課進行口頭報告。報告主題及方法的選擇將
取決於同學和授課者之間的討論。這份報告應該要界定研究問題,回顧先前相關研究,以
及(1)分析適當的資料,並呈現研究發現及其意涵(研究論文),或(2)針對執行某個原創性
的研究方案而提出詳細的策略及足以令人信服的理由(研究計畫)。同學須先在期中考週
提出一份2-3 頁的初稿,簡單描述你的研究問題,將使用的資料*,方法及分析架構;在最後
一至兩節課則要進行10-15 分鐘的口頭報告,並接受全班的提問;書面報告請在期末考
週的星期四下午五點以前繳交,逾時不候。
*註:同學若欲進行次級資料分析,國外的資料取得可以透過密西根大學的網站(University of Michigan’s Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research : http://www.icpsr.umich.edu);國內的資料則可以
參考中研院的學術研究調查資料庫(http://srda.sinica.edu.tw/) )
