Abstract

Metaphor is essential to human cognition and central to teaching and learning. In this case study, the author documents the use of metaphor in a senior-level course as a strategy to build community, provide a sense of direction, and unite the class around a shared experience. Students who experienced the metaphor as a teaching tool were invited to share their memories and reflect on the impact ( N = 395). Through content analysis, three themes were identified in the responses: (1) Appreciating the Journey, (2) Building and Supporting a Classroom Community, and (3) Finding Motivation, Purpose, and Willingness to Face the Unknown. Overall, most respondents remembered and valued the metaphor immediately and, in the months, and years following the course. The use of metaphors is recommended in public health teaching and learning.
我为什么和学生一起爬山:用隐喻作为教学工具
隐喻是人类认知的基础,也是教学的核心。在这个案例研究中,作者记录了在高级课程中使用隐喻作为一种建立社区、提供方向感和团结全班的策略。将隐喻作为教学工具的学生被邀请分享他们的记忆并反思其影响(N=395)。通过内容分析,在回答中确定了三个主题:(1)欣赏旅程,(2)建立和支持课堂社区,以及(3)寻找动机、目的和面对未知的意愿。总的来说,大多数受访者立即记住并重视这个比喻,在课程结束后的几个月和几年里。建议在公共卫生教学中使用隐喻。
