社區大學課程規劃與實施的新觀點：以成人教育課程理論作為分析架構 New Perspectives on Curriculum Planning for the Community Colleges in Taiwan:

Abstract

臺灣地區的社區大學已經愈發蓬勃，各社區大學雖以三大類課程為其發展重心，但部分主事者卻對其核心理念、實踐策略以及課程規劃的價值內涵不甚瞭解，或出現認知與執行上的歧見，以致於在推展其課程方面，產生不少理想與現實面的落差，更呈顯當前成人教育課程在理論和實踐上的矛盾，值得加以深入分析與探討。本研究目的有三：一、探究社區大學課程規劃的現況與問題；二、從成人教育課程理論與模式，分析社區大學課程規劃與推動的問題根源與改善之道；三、提出社區大學課程改善之建議，以供相關單位參考。本研究採取論述分析取向的個案分析，並以文件分析法、參與觀察法、訪談法與理論詮釋分析法等研究方法，深入分析社區大學課程規劃與實施的問題及其成因，並透過成人教育課程理論的詮釋與分析，提出課程改革的新觀點與改善策略。 Recently, the numbers of community colleges of Taiwan have been growing rapidly. Their curricula fall into three categories: academic, civil group activity, and living skills courses. Certain staff and educators in community colleges did not clearly understand the core ideals of community colleges and faced difficulties or conflicts when they planned their curricula programs. The purpose of this research was to explore the reality and the paradoxes of the curriculum planning of community colleges in Taiwan. Based on adult education theories, issues regarding community colleges’ curriculum planning, design, implementation, and evaluation were discussed. Conclusions and suggestions were also proposed to improve the curriculum planning of community colleges in Taiwan.
