課程宗旨
學生在完成此課程 1. 從社會歷史的角度識別科學與技術的發展歷程，並評估其對社會的影響，特別是與永續發展與全球發展目標（SDGs）相關的面向 2. 展現對科學、技術與人文之間關鍵概念的批判性理解，並關注其在倫理、社會與環境層面的意涵，與聯合國永續發展目標相呼應 3. 評估日常生活中的個人文化實踐與科技發展之間的關聯性，進而建構批判性論點，探討科技與社會互動的多元樣貌 4. 能夠有效運用理論框架與批判性思維，理解科學、技術與社會在塑造更具包容性、公平性與永續未來中的角色
upon completing this course, students will be able to: 1. Identify the historical development of science and technology from a socio-historical perspective and assess their impact on society, particularly in relation to sustainability and global development goals. 2. Demonstrate a critical understanding of key concepts that connect science, technology, and the humanities, with attention to their ethical, social, and environmental implications in the context of the SDGs. 3. Evaluate the relationship between everyday cultural practices and technological developments, and formulate critical arguments about the interplay between technology and society, especially in addressing challenges such as climate action, inequality, and responsible consumption. 4. Effectively apply theoretical frameworks and critical thinking to understand the evolving roles of science, technology, and society in shaping a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable future, in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals.
 

課程大綱
本課程研究與探討技術，文化與社會之間的關係。學生將學習關鍵的理論框架，例如技術決定論、社會建構主義、行動者網絡理論、參與式文化、景觀社會和數位媒體社會等等，能夠有效運用與分析藉以了解當今數位技術和媒體技術發展（例如平板電腦、智能手機）和文化發展的關聯性以及現代群眾生活中的相關科技議題。學生將運用Winston模型，深入分析科學技術創新的發展過程，理解其對社會結構、文化與經濟的相互影響，並思考如何在永續發展的框架下，平衡技術進步與社會需求。此課程設計通過案例分析與練習，將理論知識與實際應用結合，讓學生在批判性思維與永續實踐中獲得全面的學習體驗。 課程主題  課程介紹與評量方式  永續精神與概念: 經濟、環境、社會與文化  理解科學技術與社會的理論框架（一）  理解科學技術與社會的理論框架（二）  口語、書寫與印刷術的影響  現代電腦的發明與歷史  行動媒體與行動電話的發展  攝影、藝術與電影  科技倫理：新興科技帶來的倫理惡夢  參與式文化與數位公共領域  社群媒體與「景觀社會」(the society of the spectacle)  監控技術與控制社會 (the society of control)  科技是否「演化」？  未來展望:人性化科技(Humane Technology)  期末專題
This course explores the relationships among science and technology, culture, and society. Students will learn key theories such as technological determinism, actor-network theory, participatory culture, the society of the spectacle, and the digital media society. These frameworks will be effectively applied and analyzed to understand the connections between the development of communications and screen interface technologies (e.g., tablets, smartphones) and cultural evolution, as well as contemporary technological issues in modern life. Students will apply the Winston model to deeply analyze the development process of technological innovation, understand its impacts on social structures, culture, and the economy, and reflect on how to balance technological advancement with social needs within a framework of sustainable development. Through case-based exercises, the course integrates theoretical knowledge with practical application, enabling students to gain a comprehensive learning experience rooted in critical thinking and sustainable practices.  Course Introduction and Assessment Methods  Key Concepts of Sustainability: Economy, Environment, Society, and Culture  Theoretical Frameworks for Understanding Science, Technology, and Society (Part 1)  Theoretical Frameworks for Understanding Science, Technology, and Society (Part 2)  The Impact of Speech, Writing, and Print  The Invention and History of the Modern Computer  The Development of Mobile Media and M
