Abstract/Objectives

This study explores the personal and collective trauma of survivors. The content comprises three themes. The first is about post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), introducing its symptoms and principles of recovery treatment. The second is about the trauma of betrayal, discussing how betrayal by trusted individuals can lead survivors to blindly accept betrayal. The third is about collective trauma, presenting three case studies: the testimonies of Jewish survivors under Nazi totalitarianism in Germany; the February 28 Incident and the White Terror under authoritarian rule in Taiwan; and the colonial trauma of French colonialism in Africa.

Results/Contributions

First, pre-class quizzes. Students preview the textbook at home, entering class with questions, making the content easier to understand and absorb. Weekly quizzes effectively assess student learning outcomes. Through question-by-question review and error analysis, students not only correct misunderstandings but also cultivate sensitivity to detail. This cyclical mechanism of "preview, class, quiz, feedback" makes learning more solid and effective. Many students reported that a second reading of the text helped them grasp the key points, allowing them to gradually build a deeper understanding of classroom concepts rather than just superficial memorization.

 

Second, creative application of mid-term gamified design reports. Students must first deeply understand the core psychological concepts taught in the first half of the class, then creatively present their work using diverse and engaging methods such as gamification, card games, and board games. This effectively improves the classroom learning atmosphere. Compared to traditional, rigid exam designs, gamified teaching methods make the classroom atmosphere more lively and engaging, according to most students. In a relaxed and enjoyable learning environment, students not only increase their interest in classroom knowledge but also enhance their initiative and participation in learning.

 

Third, the final group oral presentations provide a platform for students to integrate their knowledge. Students can systematically review the entire semester's content and understand the logical relationships between various psychology topics. Through group collaboration and classroom presentations, students not only solidify their knowledge but also cultivate communication, expression, and teamwork skills.
