最狂高中合作社──臺南女中合作社創新經營個案研究

Abstract

教職員工經營的員生消費合作社，曾是學生生活值得回味的存在；但在政策不一的淒風冷雨下，學校合作社逐漸熄燈。學子的能量補給站消失，委外經營的便利商店取代合作社阿姨的笑容，亦喪失師長用教育愛孕育的合作精神。 我的母校──臺南女中，有著少數屹立的學校合作社，在我畢業多年後仍牽引著我及許多南女人。教職員工辛勤耕耘使之成長，用新穎的經營方式開出創新的果實，滋養社員，再因社員共同參與，使合作社的運作生生不息。 透過觀察及研究參與者敘說，我發現臺南女中合作社在「行政管理」、「學生活動展能」、「社員專業成長」、「課程教學」、「公共關係」、「學校特色文化」、以及「服務產品」七層面皆有驚豔的創新表現；而創新經營作為下則奔騰著INNOVATE的血液──認同（identity）、需求（need）、新奇（novelty）、觀察（observation）、活力（vital& vigor）、協助（assistance）、科技（technology）、實驗與執行（experiment & execution），秉持INNOVATE的初衷，合作社服務社員，社員也由合作社獲得歸屬感。 只要有心，處處皆是教育。教職員工用心與創意經營合作社，使其角色超越校園賣店，支援學校活動，協助社員生活；學生於校園實踐互助美德，合作精神因社員群體參與達到正向循環。期盼在政策及大環境支持下，透過學校合作社永續經營，齊心協力打造健康、幸福的社會。

Campus co-operatives (co-ops) run by faculty are parts of school days memories. However, campus co-ops have been winded up due to the inconsistency of policy. No more energy supply for students, outsourcing convenience stores take place of the smile of co-op faculty, and the cooperative spirit cultivated by educators is faded. My alma mater, National Tainan Girls’ Senior High School (TNGS), has the everlasting co-op connecting alumni. The faculty devotes to innovate TNGS Co-op and help its members, while the members participate to keep the co-op flourishing. With observation and narratives by participants, I found TNGS Co-op excelled in seven innovative features: administration and management, student activities, member professional development, courses and teaching methods, public relations, school cultures, and services and products. Furthermore, it also owned the DNA of INNOVATE: identity, need, novelty, observation, vital& vigor, assistance, technology, and experiment & execution. By keeping the faith, TNGS Co-op benefited its members, and the members got the sense of belonging from the co-op as well. Education is everywhere. With educators’ love and creativity, a campus co-op can be more than a shop and assist both school activities and lives of members. Students practice the merit of cooperation, so cooperative spirit gets to enter a virtuous cycle. Together is stronger. Hope campus co-ops sustain under the support of appropriate policy and help build a healthy and sustainable society with greater strength.
