家政即是生活，學習生活的時光
 

｜嘉義縣 義竹國中「生活光坊」家政教室改造計畫｜
 

家政課，不僅是烹飪與縫紉的技藝訓練，更是認識生活、體驗文化的起點。它讓學生學會在日常中觀察與實踐，從一餐一味到一針一線，累積對生活的理解與尊重。
 

位於嘉義西南、以務農家庭為主的義竹國中，長年致力於引導學生認識家鄉、培養地方認同。透過「我與家鄉」課程與「義起社服」社團，學生不僅學習在地傳統料理，也透過設計商品與參與公益實作，將學習延伸至真實社區，逐步建構出學校作為地方共學平台的角色。

此次家政教室改造案，正是回應學校教學多元化與社區連結需求的具體實踐。設計團隊以「生活光坊」為核心理念，重新定義空間用途，不僅支援綜合家政與特教課程，更涵蓋烹飪、手作、一般學科與公民素養等跨領域教學形式及社團活動需求。
 

我們希望透過空間設計，讓教室不只是課程的容器，而成為啟發學生觀察、思辨、實作與分享的舞台。學生在其中動手實踐、討論交流，從生活中學會自立，並形塑對自我與社會的理解，最終建立生活的主體性與價值感。

 

設計三大策略｜實踐生活力教育
 

1. 對應多元課程，整合設備與動線，提升教學效能

本案充分考量各類課程的差異化使用情境（如烹飪、手作、一般課程與公民素養課），藉由清楚的空間規劃與設備整合，讓不同活動能彼此協調而不互相干擾。設計上，電路、資訊設備與日常收納皆整合至學生桌面；而大型設備如水槽、冰箱、烤箱等則有序安置於牆側，使空間中央與前後保持通透彈性，利於動線與視野流動。
 

學生桌與教師桌順著空間長向排列，便於課堂活動靈活展開；桌下預留收納折疊桌的空間，能快速應對臨時分享、展示、或人數擴充等需求，提升彈性與機動性。搭配可移動式收納推車與靈活配置的桌椅，讓課前備料、課中協作與課後交流更加順暢，賦予教室高度可變的使用潛力。
 

2. 導入數位教具，強化教學觀摩與知識保存

家政與實作類課程對操作細節的掌握要求高，然而傳統示範多依賴師生圍觀，不利於每位學生清晰觀察。本案特別導入實物投影機，讓教師可將操作細節同步放映至投影畫面，學生得以從不同角度即時觀摩，提升學習效率與精準度。

此外，整個操作過程亦可錄製為數位教材，不僅有助教師備課與未來複習，也可累積作為校內資源使用，實踐教學知識的留存與再利用。

3. 地方元素入景，打造溫暖而有記憶的學習場域

在空間語彙上，設計團隊有意識地將義竹鄉的在地文化與自然特徵轉化為視覺語言：水磨石地坪、舊木紋材、簍空紅磚牆面等材質，呼應農村生活的質樸溫潤，為空間注入親切的生活感。

教室後方則融入義竹國中校徽「青天、青竹、白鴿」意象，透過向上延伸的竹構線條象徵學習的生長能量，搭配點綴於牆面的精巧鳥型壁燈，形塑白鴿穿梭竹林的詩意畫面。這不僅傳達知識與自由的精神，也讓學生在日常使用中自然感受學校精神，於細節處產生文化歸屬感。

Home Economics Is Life: Learning Through Living

​

Yizhu Junior High School, Chiayi County – “Light of Living Studio” Home Economics Classroom Renovation Project

​

Home economics is not just about cooking and sewing; it is the starting point for understanding life and experiencing culture.

Located in the rural township of Yizhu in southwestern Chiayi, Yizhu Junior High School has long been committed to helping students connect with their hometown and cultivate a sense of local identity.
Through the “Me and My Hometown” course and the “Yi Together for Service” student club, students not only learn to prepare traditional local dishes but also collaborate with community residents to develop specialty products. These efforts promote civic participation and give back to the community, gradually transforming the school into a shared learning hub within the area.

This home economics classroom renovation is a concrete response to the school’s diverse teaching practices and its close ties with the community.
The design team introduced the concept of the “Light of Living Studio”, redefining the classroom’s role as a multifunctional educational space.
It now supports not only comprehensive home economics and special education classes, but also accommodates cooking, crafts, academic subjects, civic literacy courses, and various student club activities.
Through thoughtful design, the space becomes a platform for interaction and shared learning experiences, where students gain life skills through hands-on practice and cultivate personal values rooted in real-world engagement.

 

Three Key Strategies: Practicing the Power of Living Education

​

1. Adapting to Diverse Courses – Integrated Layout for Efficient Use

This project addresses the varying needs of different types of classes—cooking, crafting, general academics, and civic literacy—ensuring that each can function independently without interference.
Electrical, digital equipment, and storage systems are integrated directly into tabletops for streamlined functionality.
Large appliances such as sinks, refrigerators, and ovens are neatly arranged along the walls, keeping the central area open and flexible.

Student and teacher desks are aligned along the long axis of the room, facilitating smooth movement and visual connection during class.
Open areas are intentionally preserved, and collapsible tables stored beneath the desktops can be easily unfolded when needed, allowing the space to scale flexibly depending on the activity.
Movable storage carts and seating support quick material distribution and post-class sharing sessions, giving the space a high degree of adaptability.

 

2. Digital Integration – Enhancing Demonstration and Knowledge Retention

Home economics and hands-on courses often involve practical demonstrations, where students struggle to clearly observe intricate steps during group viewing.
To resolve this, the design incorporates a document camera system that enables teachers to display detailed demonstrations in real time, allowing all students to follow along with ease.
Additionally, the teaching process can be recorded and archived as digital content, supporting future lessons and building a resource library that increases teaching flexibility and continuity.

 

3. Embedding Local Identity – Creating a Warm, Memorable Space

The visual and material choices for the space reflect the local landscape and cultural heritage of Yizhu Township.
Elements such as terrazzo, reclaimed wood textures, and perforated red bricks bring out a rustic, rural charm with warmth and authenticity.

At the rear of the classroom, design cues draw from the school’s emblem—blue sky, green bamboo, and white doves.
Using vertical bamboo-inspired structures and delicately crafted bird-shaped wall lamps, the space evokes a poetic scene of doves flying through a bamboo forest.
This imagery symbolizes freedom through knowledge and the extension of life, creating a deeper connection between the space and the school’s spirit, and offering students a tangible, comforting cultural memory through daily use.
