利用影音媒體輔助授課為增進學生學習興趣與意願的方法之一，本文的目的即在於檢視利用富含人文關懷的慈濟大愛劇場，作為大學通識教育輔助教材的可行性。雖然各方對通識教育的意義與目標見解不盡相同，但基本上，通識教育的目標在於培養健全的公民，在內容上偏向人人共通的經驗與知識，因此，教材與專業知識訓練相較以平易淺近為佳。電視劇以故事敘述為主，長久以來是受歡迎的節目類型之一，內容具備一定的可親性。且電視劇呈現文化中的生活細節，為現代生活經驗中重要的認知管道，教化與影響觀眾的能力一直受到社會重視。因此，大愛劇場是否適合運用作為通識教育的輔助教材，以及利用其授課時可能面臨的問題，為本文主要考察的議題。 　　本文首先由「傳播者」、「傳播內容」與「閱聽人」等三個電視劇研究的基本面向歸納出大愛劇場的特性。並透過對通識教育的「意義與目的」及「內容」的考察，檢視大愛劇場運用於通識教育中的合適性。最後利用傳播學的觀點，由「意識形態」、「教學效果」與「真實再現」等三個面向探討大愛劇場運用於通識教育時，授課教師應注意的事項。

The purpose of this study is to examine the appropriateness and possibility of using Da -Ai Drama of the Tzu Chi Foundation as the teaching material for general education. Although there are different viewpoints concerning the appropriateness of general education, its goal, basically, is to develop citizens with integrity.
