ELI Global virtual: Experiential Learning Teaching Method Program
體驗式學習教學法課程
July 17th – August 5th, 2022
A program co-taught by faculties
from Harvard University, Stanford University, Yale University, West Point (United States Military Academy) and Babson College
本課程由哈佛大學、斯坦福大學、耶魯大學、西點軍校(美國陸軍學院)和百森商學院的教授聯(lián)合教學
OVERVIEW
課程簡介
The best teachers are leaders, and the best leaders are teachers. Teachers and leaders can lift people and let people
down. Unfortunately, as teachers, we often focus on our inadequacies and missteps rather than on our strengths and
unique talents. The program’s goal is to create a unique teaching atmosphere that focuses on experiential learning
that reflects on their engagement in cases and exercises as a way to learn. The program will analyze the process of
creating a curriculum, preparing for a session or class, managing the time before class begins, and evaluating the
nature of the teaching experience after the session concludes. Along the way, we will connect specific classroom
behaviors with leadership issues—in organizations, in teams, and personal relationships. For example, what happens
on multiple levels when we teach or lead ourselves or students? What are we thinking and feeling as we process what
students are thinking and feeling? How are our internal thoughts affecting how we teach and lead? How do we
manage our biases, including having “favorite” students? To what extent can we use teaching methods in the arena
of management?
最好的教師是領導者，最好的領導者是教師。教師和領導者可以鼓舞人心，也可以讓人失望。遺憾的是，作
為教師，我們往往更關注自己的不足和失誤，而不是自己的長處和獨特的天賦。本課程旨在創(chuàng)造一種獨特的
教學氛圍，核心是體驗式學習，學員通過參與案例討論和練習活動進行學習。課程將分析如何進行課程設置、
課程準備、課前時間管理、以及如何在課程結束后評估教學體驗等。在此過程中，我們將把具體的課堂行為
與在組織中、在團隊中、在個人關系中的領導力問題相聯(lián)系。例如，當我們教育或領導自己或學生時，在不
同層級會發(fā)生什么？當我們理解學生的想法和感受時，我們在想什么和感受什么？我們的內在思想是如何影
響我們教學和領導方法的？我們如何處理我們的偏見，包括擁有“最喜歡的”學生？在管理領域，我們能在多
大程度上運用教學方法？
Empathy and authenticity matter. When teachers embrace this mindset, students have the opportunity to have a
unique learning experience. Teachers will learn how to create moments of transformation for students.
同理心和真誠很重要。當教師擁有這種心態(tài)時，學生就有機會擁有獨特的學習經歷。教師們將學習到如何為
學生創(chuàng)造自我轉變的時機。
Most faculty are trained as experts in their field of research but were never trained how to teach. The world is in need
of master teachers who are not only experts in their field, but experts in teaching and inspiring their students so that
they reach their full potential. The need for expert university teachers has become even more important during the
current crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Faculty members have to engage with their students in new ways
including online teaching. The purpose of this program is to train you to be a master teacher during the current crisis
and beyond. Becoming a master teacher in this dynamic environment requires learning how to be an “entrepreneurial
professor”. Many view entrepreneurship as an approach to starting a new business, but it is much more than that.
Entrepreneurship is a way of thinking and acting when confronted with problems and challenges. This program will
help you to understand how you can be an entrepreneurial professor and, in turn, help your students to be successful
entrepreneurs as well. Utilizing ideas and methods from leading universities on entrepreneurship as well as theories
from cognitive psychology and sociology, this program will teach participants how to lead as an entrepreneurial professor individually and in the classroom. Each session will provide background theoretical context as well as specific
activities and exercises that can be applied to help participants become leaders in the classroom.
大多數(shù)教師都是自己研究領域或相關領域的專家，但從未接受過相關教學方面的專業(yè)訓練。當今的世界需要
更多模范教師。他們不僅是自己研究領域的權威專家，更加是精于激勵和教育學生，以充分發(fā)揮學生潛力的
專家。當前嚴峻的新冠疫情形勢下，教師們不得不采用線上授課等其他教學方式與學生互動，因此當務之急
是提高大學教師們的專業(yè)教學水平。本課程旨在為疫情危機時期及之后培養(yǎng)優(yōu)秀的模范教師。想要在當前這
個復雜多變的環(huán)境中成為模范教師，就必須成為“具有創(chuàng)業(yè)者心態(tài)的教師”。許多人認為創(chuàng)業(yè)學就是學習如何
開一家新公司，但事情遠不止如此簡單。創(chuàng)業(yè)學培養(yǎng)的是一種面對問題和挑戰(zhàn)時的思維方式和行動方法。本
課程將幫助學員理解怎樣可以成為一名具有創(chuàng)業(yè)者心態(tài)的教師，進而助力其學生成為成功的創(chuàng)業(yè)者。此次課
程將利用世界頂尖大學有關創(chuàng)業(yè)學的理念和方法，以及認知心理學和社會學理論，教授學員如何在平時生活
中和工作的教室中的成為一名具有創(chuàng)業(yè)者心態(tài)的教師。每節(jié)課都將教授背景理論知識，提供具體的活動和練
習，幫助學員成為課堂上的領導者。
EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING TEACHING METHOD PROGRAM draws upon the strengths and legacies of such programs as
the Harvard PCMPCL and Babson ELI Asia faculty development program. Giving participants essential insights into the
US campus experience, this program will be co-taught by faculties from Harvard University, Stanford University, Yale
University, West Point (United States Military Academy), and Babson College. Participants in this program will learn
from the best of the best when it comes to pedagogy.
體驗式學習教學法課程融合了哈佛大學 PCMPCL 和百森商學院 ELI Asia 師資培訓課程之長，將由哈佛大學、
斯坦福大學、耶魯大學、西點軍校（美國陸軍學院）和百森商學院的教授共同授課，學員可以充分體驗美國
校園氛圍并從頂尖專家身上學習教學法的經驗。
A successful teaching method cannot be separated from its students. The Harvard Case Method works because highly
motivated MBA students prepare three cases a day. And the Babson experiential teaching method works because all
students are involved in an action based entrepreneurship curriculum that emphasizes doing as a way to learning.
成功的教學方法離不開其學生。哈佛案例教學法之所以奏效，是因為 MBA 學生每天積極主動預習三個案例。
百森商學院的體驗式教學法之所以奏效，是因為全部學生都參與了以行動為基礎的創(chuàng)業(yè)課程，該課程強調將
實踐作為一種學習方式。
PROGRAM AUDIENCE - Who Should Attend this Program?
課程受眾——誰應該參加此次培訓課程？
This program is about BECOMING MASTER TEACHERS who are capable of adapting their pedagogy to their students.
A master teacher has capabilitiesin both participant centered teaching and experiential teaching. This is not a program
about teaching entrepreneurship, but about the pedagogy applied in teaching entrepreneurship, which is defined as
an experiential learning method. This method is relevant to the Case Method, which is a method of participant
centered learning. This program is also about how to be an entrepreneurial faculty member. Faculty from Schools of
Management, Engineering, Life Science, and Entrepreneurship will benefit from this program, but so will faculty from
any discipline who would like to become master teachers in their field and empower their students by giving them
skills in entrepreneurial problem-solving. In addition, this program will also support the following faculty:
本課程是關于成為模范教師，讓學員有能力調整自己的教學方法以適應學生。模范教師應既能進行以學生為
中心的教學，又能進行體驗式的教學。本課程并非創(chuàng)業(yè)教育課程，而是關于創(chuàng)業(yè)教育中所使用的教學法，即
體驗式學習教學法。此教學法與以學生為中心的教學法——案例教學法相關。本課程還旨在幫助學員成為一
名具有創(chuàng)業(yè)者心態(tài)的教育工作者。來自管理學院、工程學院、生命科學院和創(chuàng)業(yè)學院的教師無疑能夠從本課
程中受益，但其實任何學科的教師都會有所收獲，只要他們希望在自己的領域成為模范教師，希望通過培養(yǎng)
學生解決問題的能力使其成長。此外，本課程也歡迎以下教師參加：
• Faculty who wish to learn to develop online curriculum and online teaching skills
• 希望學習遠程課程開發(fā)和遠程教學方法的教師•
Faculty who wish to become great facilitators of learning; not just transferring knowledge
•
希望成為激勵學生學習的促進者，而不僅僅是傳遞知識的教師
•
Faculty who want to develop themselves as current and future leaders in academia
•
希望自己成長為學科帶頭人的教師
It is a program that is specially designed to benefit faculties at all levels. This program intends to place faculty careers
on a new trajectory. The program will support faculty who have a deep hunger to go from being a GOOD teacher to a
GREAT teacher and more importantly to a facilitator of learning! In addition, it is ideal for those who wish to cut across
disciplines and be more well-rounded and integrative in their teaching and academic career.
本課程適用于各個層次的教師培訓。其目的是為參訓教師的職業(yè)生涯開辟新道路。本課程將幫助那些渴望從
一個好老師成長為一位模范教師，更重要的是成為學生學習的促進者的教師！本課程也是那些希望跨學科發(fā)
展的教師的理想之選，同樣適合那些希望教學和學術全面發(fā)展的教師。

We live in an unprecedented time given the pace of change all around us as seen in the dependence among financial
markets, the explosive power and influence of technology, the struggles within the geopolitical context, and the now
persistent feeling that our world is becoming even more volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous. More than ever
organizations need a different type of leader. Indeed, tolerance for and effectiveness of traditional approaches to
leadership (e.g., compliance and transaction-oriented styles) is rapidly waning. Students and organizations are looking
to business and other university faculty to both demonstrate the type of leadership needed and do a better job
teaching it in their classrooms.
我們生活在一個變化空前的時代，金融市場之間互相依賴，科技力量影響巨大，地緣政治紛爭迭起。人們愈
發(fā)感受到世界的不穩(wěn)定性、不確定性、復雜性、和模糊性。因此急需一批有別于傳統(tǒng)風格的領導者。事實上，
社會對傳統(tǒng)領導方式（例如服從和交易型領導）的容忍度正在迅速下降，其有效性也值得商榷。學生和企業(yè)
機構都希望商學院及其他大學教師既能展現(xiàn)出社會所需的領導力，又能在課堂上使用更好的教學法教授相關
知識。
Sessions will also focus on you as a faculty leader and understanding the power of resonant leadership and the need
for faculty to create resonance by consistently demonstrating emotional and social competencies. In particular, we
will focus on the impact of when leaders become highly self-aware of themselves and aware of how other experience
their leadership. Next, we will broaden the focus from the leader skillset to the faculty-as-leader’s responsibility to
develop themselves and others in sustainable ways. In all of these sessions, faculty will pause at the end and share
why he taught the session the way he did so faculty can see the pedagogical techniques he is using to teach leadership.
課程也將重點培養(yǎng)學員成為一名課堂領導者，讓教師理解和諧領導力的力量，以及教師通過不斷展現(xiàn)情感和
社交能力來創(chuàng)造共鳴的必要性。我們特別關注當領導者具備高度自我意識，并認識到其他人如何感受他們的
領導力時，會產生怎樣的影響。接下來，我們將把重點從領導技能轉移到教師作為領導者如何以可持續(xù)的方式提升自己和培養(yǎng)他人。所有的課程教授都會在課程結束時分享他為什么要以這種方式教授課程，以便讓學
員了解他在教授領導力時所使用的教學技巧。
Post-Covid, enterprises, governments, and especially universities have to innovate at an unprecedented pace. We are
already seeing significant changes in students’ behaviors and employers’ expectations of their skills. Hence, innovation
content is proliferating into the curricula across different disciplines and departments. However, innovation is often
not well understood and innovation cannot function well without entrepreneurial leadership. Entrepreneurial
leadership is different from other forms of leadership. It has more in common with transformational, situational, and
crisis leadership. Babson develops entrepreneurial leaders who drive innovation in a variety of contexts – startups,
scale-ups, large enterprises, family businesses, non-profits, and governments. We will share with you the content and
teaching methods of one of Babson’s most popular graduate-level courses in entrepreneurial leadership and
innovation: Leading Innovation @ Gorillas, Chimps & Monkeys. This same material is also used extensively in Babson’s
customized and open executive programs.
后疫情時期，企業(yè)、政府，特別是大學必須以前所未有的速度進行創(chuàng)新。學生的所作所為和雇主對其技能的
期望都已發(fā)生了重大變化。因此，不同學科和院系的課程中都應加入有關創(chuàng)新的教學內容。然而，創(chuàng)新通常
不被人們所理解，沒有具有創(chuàng)業(yè)者心態(tài)的領導者，創(chuàng)新是不可能成功的。創(chuàng)新領導力與其他形式的領導力不
同，它與變革領導力、情境領導力和危機領導力有許多共同之處。百森商學院致力于培養(yǎng)具有創(chuàng)業(yè)者心態(tài)的
領導者，正是這些領導者可以在初創(chuàng)企業(yè)、規(guī)模化企業(yè)、大型企業(yè)、家族企業(yè)、非營利組織和政府機關等各
種背景下推動創(chuàng)新。我們將分享百森商學院最受歡迎的研究生課程之一，有關創(chuàng)新領導力和創(chuàng)新的內容及教
學方法：領導創(chuàng)新@大猩猩、黑猩猩和小猴子。此教學材料也被廣泛用于百森商學院企業(yè)內訓項目和企業(yè)高
管公開課中。
In the traditional format, master teachers deliver high-quality instruction in a “face-to-face” (F2F) setting with their
students in a classroom. Based on pedagogy research, we know that action-based learning yields the best outcomes
for the student. Master teachers understand the value of inspiring students with big questions to evoke curiosity,
hands-on exercises, and opportunities to experiment and reflect on their experiences as different ways to implement
an action-based curriculum. The program will highlight these best practices drawn from academic research and allow
participants to connect them to their teaching styles.
傳統(tǒng)教學形式中，模范教師和學生們在教室里“面對面”（F2F）的時候，可以進行高質量授課。根據教學法
研究可知，學生通過行動來學習的效果最佳。模范教師充分理解以行動為主的課程設計的重要性，會用問題
來激發(fā)學生的好奇心，采用動手練習，進行實驗和回顧反思等不同方法進行教學。本課程將著重講解這些來
自學術研究的最佳教學實踐方法，使學員得以將這些科研成果與他們自己的教學風格結合起來。
In the “new normal”, however, master teachers will also need to transform their teaching into a virtual format. Since
many of the pedagogical principles used in F2F settings still apply online, master teachers can excel online. However,
these principles do not always transfer 1 to 1 between F2F and online. The program will provide participants with
practical techniques and examples for how to switch between teaching modalities and combine pedagogy with
technology. This allows master teachers to become more flexible and versatile and prepared to teach in any format,
now and in the future.
然而，在“新常態(tài)”下，模范教師也需要轉入遠程教學。由于 F2F 課程中使用的許多教學原則仍然適用于
遠程教學，這些模范教師仍可以在遠程教學中脫穎而出。然而，線下教學原則并非每一條都適用于遠程教
學。本課程將為學員提供實用的教學技巧和案例，讓他們了解如何在教學模式之間轉換，以及如何將教學
法與科技相結合。這些都將幫助學員更加懂得變通，變得多才多藝，不論是現(xiàn)在還是將來，不論是何種形
式的教學都能有所準備。
In addition to the above content topic, the program will also cover the following teaching process topics –
