本文旨在探討我國技職教育政策的變遷，由於技職教育歷經六十餘年的演變，據此本文運用漸進轉型觀點，探討在技職教育政策轉型過程中，哪些因素主導轉變？以及因素之間存有何種關聯性？研究方法則先運用文獻回顧法以及深度訪談法，之後再進行調查研究。研究結果發現技職教育政策的變遷存有多種反應類型，包括：替代、堆疊、漂移及轉換。至於主要影響因素有四：政治、經濟、文化及社會因素，而相對重要性，則以社會因素最高，政治因素最低。再者，四項因素與技職教育政策變遷之間存有因果關係。

The main purpose of this article is to apply the perspective of gradual transformation to analyze the influential context of changing technological and vocational education (TVE) policy. The sixty-year-plus history of the development of TVE is based on the theory of gradual transformation theory; consequently, a complicated causal relationship of policy change can be clearly analyzed. This article seeks to explore the main factors for TVE policy change and the causal associations between these factors and the changes implemented in the TVE policy. Besides, this article adopts both a quantitative and qualitative method, and the findings indicate that the type of policy changes includes: displacement, layering, drift and conversion. The key factors which influenced the transformation of the TVE policies are affected by the four factors in turn, including political, economic, cultural, and societal factors. Among these factors, the most important factor is the societal factor, and the least important is the political factor. Additionally, an association exists between these four factors and the changes made to the TVE policy.
