美國課程史研究的過去與未來：兼論對臺灣課程史研究的啟示

The past and future of the American curriculum history research: Also on its implications for Taiwanese curriculum history research

本文的目的在於闡述美國課程史研究的過去與未來的發展趨勢。本文指出，在美國1960年代以前屬分析的課程史研究。1970年代初出現批判的課程史研究，且課程史亦開始成為一個別的研究領域。迨至晚近，課程史研究已漸趨成熟，其趨勢是：對課程史學進行反思，研究領域的擴充，研究取向的增生，研究解釋呈現多元性，課程史研究朝向國際化。以上五種趨勢，皆有尚處初生階段的臺灣課程史研究借鑑之處。

The aim of this paper was to explicate the past and future trends of curriculum history research in America. This paper indicated that before 1960s the attribute of curriculum history research was analytic research. Since early 1970s critical curriculum history was initiated, and curriculum history research became a distinct research area. Recently curriculum history research is getting mature, and its trends include: curriculum historiography is self-examining; research area is widening; research approach is proliferating; research explanation is toward multiplicity. The five trends mentioned above could be reference and inspiration for Taiwan nascent curriculum history research.
